I was watching a film on my own tonight. My boyfriend Mat was prepping for a new role in another film. I watched the film for a bit as it started approaching a real upsetting scene. For some reason, it hit close to home for me. I started tearing up, and hadn't realised that Mat was sitting on the arm of the sofa behind me. "What're you watchin'?" He asked, not knowing about the scene or that I was crying. I started quietly sobbing, Mat looked closer at the screen and then looked at me, he then noticed me.

 "Are you alright?" He asked, concern in his voice. His hand touched my back. I just burst into tears, Mat shuffled onto the sofa from the arm, pulled me into embrace and started shushing me, because he knew that it was the film that upset me. "It's okay, sweetheart... I know it's sad..." He shushed me some more. "Don't be upset, darling..." He spoke softly.

He let me cry it all out for half an hour or so. "D'you want to watch something else, and maybe have something to eat?" Mat offered, I nodded. "I'll be right back." Mat did a short and snappy smile. He left to the kitchen, as I heard the sound of opening packets and fizzy drink cans. Mat came back shortly after, with sweets, dips, crisps, chocolates, you name it! "Here, wanna watch Horrible Histories?" He asked, I nodded as my face sort of lit up. Mat put it on as we watched it for the rest of the night and eventually fell asleep in each others arms.
