Matt's POV:
*knock knock*
"Come in." I said. Liv walked into my room timidly. Her eyes were red and glossy, but her face was dry. I could tell she'd been crying. I tried to keep my composure.
"what do you want." I asked. She smiled slightly and let out a soft laugh. I held back my smile.
"Come on." She gestured to the bathroom.
"What?"
"Well, those cuts aren't gonna clean themselves." She looked at my knuckles. I followed her to the bathroom and she got out the first aid kit.
"Sit," she said, sitting me own on the counter. The whole thing felt quiet. The room wasn't filled with any sound. The only thing you could hear was us talking quietly. She set down the first aid kit on the top of the toilet lid. She started by rinsing off my knuckles in warm water to clean the dry blood off. She was gentle, her hands were cold but I liked it.
"Thank you, by the way." She said. I furrowed my brows in confusion.
"For what?"
"For defending me."
"I- how did you know I-"
"Who else would you conveniently also have beef with after I tell you what happened and who did it?" I responded with silence.
"How bad is he hurt?" She asked me. I laughed a little.
"Give it a couple of nose jobs and he'll be almost alright." I smirked.
"Jeez, you really chose violence." She laughed.
"He deserved it for all he did to you." I glanced up to look at her. She looked back for a second but she got red and looked away. She leaned over to reach the rubbing alcohol. She didn't let go of my hand, even though she was stretching out to reach.
"This is gonna hurt for a second." She said. I winced at the cold cotton pad making contact with raw skin.
"I know sorryyyyy" She said dragging out her words. She put band-aids on the cuts and gave my hand a peck.
"All better." She said, putting the supplies away.
"Thank you." I said, feeling my face get hot. I don't have feelings for Liv. But why do I feel like this?
"By the way, Nick, Chris, and I are staying home tomorrow, if you want to join us." She shows that downward smile of hers.
"Okay, I will."
"Well, Matt, you're free to go."
"Thank you Dr. Hiller." I joked. She rolled her eyes. It feels good to not fight. I wanna be friends more often.
"Matt?"
"Yea?"
"This is so embarrassing, but I don't have any clothes here, can I borrow something?" She asked. I laughed.
"Yea sure." I tossed her a blue hoodie and some plaid PJ pants. She went in the bathroom to change. When she came out, I couldn't help but laugh.
"It's literally huge on you." I laughed.
"Shut up!" She laughed.
"Okay, I'm gonna go say night to Nick an Chris." She said. I nodded.
(She said night night to them and went to the couch to go sleep)
Liv's POV:
I feel a tug at my legs. I shuffle trying to get comfortable, but the tugging is consistent and doesn't stop. I open my eyes and see Eli. He's in my house and he's trying to take off my pants. I look around and there is every one I know in my house, they're all pointing and laughing as they watch Eli trying to get to me.
*Gasp* I wake up in a cold sweat, shaking and tears running down my face. I'm gasping for air. I get up to go and get some water.
"No way I can get back to sleep down here." I muttered as I rubbed my eyes.
*knock knock* No reply. I open the door and sneak into the dark, silent room. I'm hesitant, but I lightly climb into the bed.
Matt's POV:
I just shut my eyes. I haven't slept well at all since I found out about Liv's SA. I hear my door open and I feel the other side of my bed sink. I pretended to really be asleep but I couldn't help but smile slightly.
I could hear Liv's shaky breath next to me. I wanted her closer. I needed her closer. I gently grab her by the waist and pull her closer to me. She giggles and turns around to face me. My eyes are still closed. I pull her in even closer so her head is buried in my chest. I kiss her head and shut my eyes. I immediately fall asleep.
A/N: Hi guyssss.... I know it's been a hot minute since I've written. It's been a hell of a hectic month, especially this week. I've just been anxiety riddled lately so I haven't had much time or motivation to write. I'll be okay though don't worry guys :3 I hope you enjoyed this and I'll try my best to update more consistently.
xoxo,
Alyssa
