i couldn't sleep. after my two episodes of my tv show i tried to go to bed but i couldn't so i scrolled on my phone for hours. until i got a notification on my phone.
"matthew sturniolo sent you a text"
i opened it.
matthew sturniolo
matthew sturniolo: You up?
i was not only shocked that matt texted me but this text gave me butterflies for some reason but i tried to ignore them.

when ten minutes passed i walked out to the car and got in.
"hi ellie." matt said from the driver's seat.
"hi matt." i reply.
"where do you wanna go?" matt asks me.
"umm i don't know do you have any suggestions?" i ask him.
"well no where is really open at this time so wanna just drive around for now and then maybe take a walk on the beach?" matt suggests.
"yeah that sounds fun!" i say and smile.
i connect to aux and play 'hold on we're going home' by drake.
we drive on a road by the beach and it's really fun to be out this time of the night.
i caught matt looking at me a couple times and when i looked at him he smiled which just made me smile. a lot.
we parked near a beach in an empty parking lot.
"wanna go for a walk?" matt asks me while looking at me.
"yeah sure!" i say and we get out of the car.
we walk on the sand by the water for a bit and just talk.
"you know ellie i am so happy we are good again. i forgot how much fun it is to be around you." matt says.
"aw matt im really happy too" i say.
we sit on the sand for a bit and admire the view even though its pitch black.
it's really cold since i'm wearing a t-shirt so i start to shiver. i try not to because i don't want matt to notice.
"you cold ellie?" matt asks looking down at me.
"kind of." i say trying to be cool about it.
"do you want my hoodie?" matt asks.
"are you sure? i don't want you to be cold." i say to him.
"for sure ellie. don't worry i'd rather be cold than have you be cold." he says as he takes off his hoodie and hands it to me.
"thank you matt!" i say to him.
i put on his black hoodie and its very warm. it smells like cologne and it's so comfortable. i can't help but smile at the fact that i am wearing matt's hoodie.
i check the time and it's about 3:00 am. i can't help but finally feel tired and yawn.
"you tired sleepy head?" matt says as he ruffles my hair with his hands.
"a bit. are you?" i ask him.
"kind of. should we head home?" matt asks.
"probably it's 3 am." i say as we laugh.
we drive home and listen to travis scott.

@elliekateharmon added to their story.
when we got home we got into the house quietly and went upstairs.
as we were going into our rooms matt said, "goodnight elles i hope you get some sleep tonight."
that was the first time he has called me elles in awhile. only people i am close with call me elles. i liked that he called me elles.
"goodnight matt i hope you sleep well too." i reply.
i got into pjs but kept matt's hoodie on and went to bed.
