I'm Sorry(a Matthew Espinosa fanfic)

Chapter 22

I finally fell asleep around midnight. But then had to get up at 6 so we could go on our jog. 

I got out of bed around 6:15 and then went to go wake Matt up and yell at him to get ready because he's the only reason I'm even considering going on a jog this morning when I could be sleeping more.

Once he finally woke up after I hit him with a pillow for 5 minutes straight, we both changed into our workout clothes and I put my hair up into a ponytail and we were ready to go.

We went out in the kitchen to get a couple of waters. We walked out the front door and started our jog. 

We jogged the entire perimeter of the town and we had about a quarter of a mile until we got back to the house, "Mattttttttttttt. I'm tired. Can we have someone come pick us up? I don't wanna run anymore, my feet hurt and my legs feel like jello." I said complaining.

"Hop on my back, Layla. I'll carry you the rest of the way home." Matt said bending over.

"Are you sure? We can just call someone to get us."

"I'm positive. We made it this far, why don't we finish it?" Matt said and I jumped on his back.

The walk home was peaceful and only took us about 5 minutes. As we reached the porch, Matt put me down and we walked into the house and the entire family had completely stopped what they were doing and looked at us.

"Can I help you people?" I asked.

"So you guys actually went on a jog and didn't die?" My mom asked.

"Well we're here aren't we?" I said back. "Come on, Matt. We have to start getting ready." I said grabbing his hand, dragging him back to my room. "So I'm going to jump in the shower to get all of this gross sweat off me. I'll be right back." I said as I closed the door.

By the time I got out of the shower it was already 9. I started to heat up my curling wand and left the bathroom to go get changed and to let Matt shower.

When he got out, I was dressed in my favorite dark jeans, that make my butt look fantastic, my burgundy heavy sweater, because it's going to be hella freezing outside, and then my riding boots. Once he left the bathroom I went in and started to get ready for the long day ahead of me.

2 hours later, my hair looked great. I then started my makeup and I was completely ready around 12. I had an hour left to spare before we had to leave. I walked out and met Matt in the living room.

"You look great." Matt said looking up at me.

"Thanks. It took a long time to make all of this happen." I said motioning to my entire body.

"Well I think you look just ravishing." Matt said standing up. "So what do you wanna do during this hour?" He asked.

"I have no clue. Can we just take a walk and then meet everyone at the place?" I asked.

"Yeah, that's fine. We just have to get the a-okay from your mother first." He said.

"You're such a dork." I laughed. "I'll go ask her." I said walking into my mom's room. "Hey mom?"

"Yeah?" She asked looking back at me.

"I was just letting you know that Matt and I are going to take a walk and we'll just meet all of you guys at the place."

"Yeah that's fine, just don't be late." She said turning back to her mirror.

"Thanks. See you there." I said walking out and finding Matt by the door, waiting.

"What did she say?" He asked.

"What do you think she said?" I said walking out the door.

"Where do you wanna walk?" Matt asked when he caught up with me.

"I'm not sure, let's just walk." I said.

"That's perfectly fine with me." Matt said.

We walked for a little bit and then it got to be 12:30. "We should probably start walking to the funeral home now." Matt said, nudging me and showing me the time.

"Hm? Oh yeah. I guess we should go now." I said in a quiet voice.
