later that night chris went over to madis place
nick left with alana
so it was just me and matt...
great
it was silent for a long time , just walking and commenting on a few things here and there.
"thanks for paying for me"
i said finally putting my phone away
"oh of course"
he smiled
such a sweet smile
such pretty eyes
and a pretty face
and a-
no.
not again.
"why didn't you stay with chris and madi?"
i asked him , knowing that it's a lot of work to just walk with some one when you could have just stayed where you were
"i didnt want to leave you walking by yourself and since nick was leaving with alana, i felt bad"
i smiled at him
"thanks"
he smiles back
he doesn't say anything just a smile that fills the whole street with happiness

we make it to our houses and no cars are parked in front of my house
they are probably on a date
my parents are VERY lovey dovey
yuckkk

"shit."
matt says looking at his house
"what?"
i say looking the same way
"no one's home , and i don't have the spare keys"
he says feeling his pockets
"just come inside with me"
i say walking to the stairs
"really??"
he says shocked
"yeah , why would i leave you outside"
i laugh
he also laughs
"maybe because your actually nice despite your rbf"
he says walking behind me
"I HAVE A RBF??"
i say looking back at him unlocking the door
he laughed more
"definitely, when we first met i was scared of you"

matt was on the couch and watching Modern Family
which i had one , and i still needed to get last second things for my room from the attic. The movers put some of my boxes up there.

"matt!"
i yell from the hallway upstairs
"yeah?!"
he yells back
"can you get to the attic for me?!"
i say not wanting to get a chair
"going!"
he yells and i hear his foot steps up the stairs
once he's up there he reaches the string pulls it for me. The ladder slowly falls down , along with dust and dirt.
"EWW"
i yell getting it on my face and in my mouth
"you're fine"
matt laughs at me and moves over gesturing for me to go up.
"come with me , i'm to scared"
i say with a worried look
"fine"
i climb up the ladder and everything creeks. Once i'm in the attic i look around with the only source of light being from the moon shining down just perfectly in the middle of the window. I look through boxes and move things around looking for my photo album box.
"hey i think i found it"
saying while matt looks around
"ooo no it's my moms but it has pictures of her and parties and clubs!"
i say laughing a bit , i realize how much my mom has changed
"whoa"
i say looking at a picture, my mom is totally shit faced and her mascara is streaming down her eyes , she's crying but smiling. It was definitely happy tears . A guy is with her and i assume it's my dad.

"should i even be looking at this...?"
matt says with a tiny awkward laugh
"SORRY"
i laugh
i turn the page and more of the pictures are my mom at family functions or with me. Some of them have a little boy who looks almost like me , but i assume it's my cousin. Matt starts pointing out people and asking about them.
"whos that?"
matt says over my shoulder.
"who?"
i said looking around at a the pictures
"the one with freckles and a mole next to his chin"
what.
"are you crazy?"
i laugh
"what do you mean??"
i flip the page
"there he is again!"
"what- no"
i flip and matt points
again
and again
my mind is filed with thought
my eyes water
and my breathing gets frantic
"serena are you ok??"
"SERENA!"
matt yells and pulls my shoulders to face him and my face is in shock , stuck in shock. Tears roll down my check and all i can think is why. i'm struggling to breathe
"who was that guy?"
matt says with a tone
"matt.."
"yes?"
"matt.."
"yes??"
"matt"
i hug him and i cry , i cry so hard into his shoulder, he hugs me and rubs my back. It's embarrassing, i'm sobbing in a boys chest. A bot i've only known for a few days is willing to hold me.

my eyes slowly open... i see the ceiling to my living room, and i hear Mitchell Pritchett and Cameron Tucker going back and forth.
"matt?"
i say sitting up
"what time is it? where are my parents?? why are you still here, what happened??"
i say asking so many questions at once , my mind is racing and i'm looking around for anyone else.
"whoa don't worry , no one's home , your parents haven't got here , and is 9:44. You were crying because you kept on seeing this guy in pictures , you had a panic attack, then you cried more and fell asleep."
shit.
"that's embarrassing"
i laughed
matt just looked at me , a worried look in his eyes
"serena what happ-"
matt cuts himself off when he looks at the door
i hear keys and the door unlocking
"he's here"
i say to matt
"your dad?"
i stay quiet for a bit while i get my stuff
"step... now hurry he's gonna ask why your here"
i tell matt as he also gets his stuff and we head upstairs , the attic was closed and the box of photo books was in my room.
"SERENAA"
gabriel yelled from downstairs
"WHAT?"
"just making sure you're here!!"
he yelled back
"matt , what where you going to ask earlier?"
i said looking at him with sleep dug deep into my eyes
"what happened with that guy. who was he and why did you freak out?"
i stayed quiet
"matt.."
i say with a sigh
"matt the guy in the pictures..
he Gabriel. my step dad."
