Broken Heart

Four doors down

BANG... what the hell was that... I rushed downstairs I swear to god, if Tom hurt my mother I'm done I'm fucking done... Mom what was that my mother looks at me with Tom and a champagne bottle " Nova don't be so dramatic we are celebrating" I scoffed " What are we celebrating Mom it's three in the morning so what would we possibly be celebrating at three in the morning" she looked at me with bright eyes my mother doesn't do that often that means Tom found another job or she might have had the right senses to leave his sorry ass " TOM FOUND A JOB" I rolled my eyes. Ding ding ding I should start winning prize money off these guesses "That's great he can finally get his ass off the couch and start helping out around the house" I shouldn't have said that. Maybe waking up at three in the morning or my adrenaline rushing thinking something happened to her formed those words but why on earth did that come out my mouth. Her hand rose to hit me across my face SLAP  what was I thinking I looked at her with tears in my eyes. I love my mother I do but its more so a hatred love she makes me hate her when all I want to do is love her I stormed out of the house she yelled my name ''NOVA" Tom told her to let me go that I will come back Like I always do and he isn't wrong I can't just leave my mother it's my mom. Its calmer at night the sky is pretty the stars are bright and all I can think about is when I was younger with my curls all wild and me running around on the beach with my mom and laughing I remember laughing ugh those moments were amaz- "hey you" I look around I see him the boy from earlier sitting on his porch in a chair he just got off the phone "Girl with the pretty curls and great-" What the hell " What.. and great what" he runs out of the chair and stands in front of me he looks at me and smiles what is possibly funny "Great Pjs their butterflies" SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT I AM IN MY FUCKING PAJAMAS "Shoot yeah I'm going to go".  He chases behind me "That's one way to introduce yourself" I smirk "I wasn't I was going on a walk and I continue to go on this walk" Why is he near me why am I talking to him I don't even know him why is he following me "Hey Butterfly what are you thinking" I stop "What did you just call me" "Butterfly it goes with your PJs" I look at him he is tall maybe 5'7 5'8 he is muscular he has a really nice smile and his eyes are brown the really nice brown the warm brown he has a buzz cut but it suits him he is wearing grey sweat pants and a black tank top "Dont call me that". I continue to walk " So what should I call you I was thinking girl with the pretty curls" I smirk "No mysterious girl from Three fifteen AM" I smile "I got it girl with an amazing smile that has dimples" I look at him "yea and I can call you stalker boy". He laughed his laugh is warm and sweet like it makes me want to laugh with him "No you should call me your night and shining armor" I roll my eyes "And why is that" he jumped back like he is surprised at what I said "Well your walking alone at three AM and don't you remember this is when the spooky scary skeletons come out" I smile he makes me smile. "I am not afraid" he jumps in front of me and puts his hand out "The name is Matthew.. Matthew Morgan Heart" I shake his hand "Nice to meet you, Matthew... Matthew Morgan Heart" he laughs again but this time it was a small laugh like he liked the joke "That's funny but it's just one Matthew and you are..." I look at him "Matthew" "Girl with the amazing smile"... "It's Nova Nealy Alexander". He smiles at me this is a brighter smile the kind you see when you give a kid their favorite candy "That's an extraordinary name Nova it fits your amazing smile" "So Miss Nova Nealy Alexander what brought you to go on this walk at three am with me" I scoff " Excuse me but it is the other way around you came on this walk with me'' He shrugs "Potato Tomato" "Mr. Matthew the saying goes Tamoto tamah-to". He smiles putting his hands in the air gestering a rainbow "I knew you were extraordinary... HEY, YOU BLEW OF THE QUESTION" I smile "no you were distracted" "yea I was distracted by a girl with amazing curls a beautiful smile and an extraordinary name" "I am not a distraction". ... "Matthew" "yes Nova" I look at him he looks at me with a spark in his eyes like he is excited to hear me talk "I haven't seen you here before" "Yea well I just moved with my grandparents my parents are too busy focusing on there business they forget there kid sometimes so I am with my grandparents for a while..." it was silent I pushed a button "oh I'm sorry" "no need to be sorry Nova I ran into you at three am underneath the stars consider you my good luck butterfly" we walk back to my house."Nova" "Yes, Matthew" "why are you on this walk" why does he wan't to know I just met him "no reason" he looks at me confused "you have no reason to be walking at three AM" "yea no reason" we get to my house he smiles at me "well now you have a partner for your three am walks like I said consider me your night and shinning armor".  I laugh "no I think I will still consider you my stalker" he laughs I like his laugh it's the type that will echo the halls "Goodnight Stalker" "Goodnight Butterfly see you again" he tips his hand on his head like a salute and walks away I walk inside my mother is in her room with Tom and I don't care not tonight.. tonight was a good night I met Matthew Morgan Heart.
