18,paper cuts

JULIA'S POV:

i wake up in his bed, my legs sprawled out across his bed. he is nowhere to be seen. "matt?" i call out. when i recieve no answer, i call out again. "matt!?" i say louder. he finally merges from his bathroom. he is wearing my hoodie, which was his but i stole it from him one night. he doesn't seem so talkitive like usual. his hands are in his pockets and his pants seem way looser then usual. even his walk isnt the same.

"matt?" i say in a worried tone. "yes?" he replies, his voice barley above a whisper. "whats in your pockets?" i ask. he looks away and sighs. "nothing. love." he says. "you sure?" i reply. he nods and sits down next to me on his bed. "what are you doing up so early?" i ask. he looks down at my thighs before looking back at my face. "i just woke up. i dunno." he says.

a small chuckle escapes my lips. he looks down, seeming sad. "you okay?" i ask, lifting up his chin. "no." he says quietly. "matt?" i say. "mhm?" he says, his eyes filling with tears. "you can talk to me." i say, rubbing his leg. he immediately winces in pain, which scares me. "whats wrong?" i ask, noticing what is going on. he pulls down his pants, revealing small cuts.

my jaw drops. "what are these from?" i ask. "paper." he mumbles. "are you sure? these look worse." i say. he shakes his head. "you caught me." he says, trying to make a joke. "no time for jokes matt." i say, pulling him in for a hug. he immediately starts to cry.

i dont know what to do. i hug him tightly. he doesn't hug back at first, he continues taking off his pants until their completly off. he sniffles. matt then hugs me back, his arms wrapping around me. " youre okay..." i mumble. "its like i have to be okay all the time and i-i cant.." his voice is shaky while he sobs.

"you dont have to be okay when your with me." she says, rubbing his lower legs where there are no cuts. he sniffles, not speaking at all. his body shakes as he takes some deep breaths. "as long as your next to me, just the two of us." matt mumbles. i smole softly at his response. "deep breaths babe." i say. he nods his head and takes deep breaths.
