My Dream Life (Matt Sturniolo)

Chapter 12: It was all a Dream

I've lived in LA for almost 2 weeks now and every single day, I've been with either Gracie and Sam or the triplets. I've had nothing but happy times with them and I truly loved it here. However, one thing has been really bothering me lately. Sure, I love sneaking around with Matt, but I genuinely want to have a normal relationship, one where you can post it whenever you want and not feel anything after. One where all your favorite people comment on it, and you feel nothing but love. I truly missed YouTube since it had been 3 weeks since I posted. I also have been having a hard time with school lately. I sat in Matts bed as he was on his phone, and I was on my computer. I was trying to get my school to load since I know I'm behind majorly. I sigh as I run my hand over my face. Matt notices and puts his phone down before sliding over to where I was and wrapping his arm around my shoulder kissing my temple. "You ok little one?" I sat there as I finally looked over at him "yea, just, annoyed" I say as I look back at my laptop putting my code in for what feels like the hundredth time. I close eyes, just to hear the sound of it closing. I open my eyes to see Matt closing it as he takes it from me sitting it on the floor beside his side. "What the heck Matt" "No, don't give me that little one. You have been stressing way too much lately sweetheart." I sat there with a pout as Matt grabs my face kissing my check before pulling me towards him. I put my hand on his chest attempting to push myself up.  "Matt this isn't YouTube; I can't leave this be. This could ruin my whole future career." Matt looks at me as he grabs my hand "you should get some food and go out for a while or something. Just enough to maybe get some things off your mind." I nod my head as I look at him. "I like you a lot" I say with a smile as we haven't gotten close to the real words yet "I like you more" he kisses my hand before letting it go and getting out of bed, I suddenly feel the urge to ask him the question i'd been dreading for a while, I think while Matt came back with markers extending his tattooed arm. "When do you want to like you know, not care" Matt turns around as he lifts an eyebrow up slipping on his pink Hersey shirt "what you mean" "go public" "Umm." Matt scratches his head as he looks at me. "It's nothing just it would be easier for me you know" " I understand but I don't want them to be mean to you." I look at him as I rub his tattooed arm "I'm not worried about that I just don't wanna try to hide" "then don't" he leans over and kisses my forehead as he lifts his tattooed arm from my grasps pushing my forehead by his hand. I give him a weird look as I roll my eyes. I then get up and head to his closet picking out a shirt. I then head to Matts bathroom as I bend down to open the cabinet. Matt made me one for when I stayed. I got a pink brush out as I started to brush my hair, I started to think about what if I actually just posted it. I stopped when I saw Matt dressed "you ready" he asked as I looked at him "do I look ready?" He just laughs at me as I stare at him. He was cute but for some reason he looked really weird. I shook it off as I went back to his room as I put some clothes on. I got my shoes on and my bag as I grabbed Matt's reached out hand, his tattoos still filled with colors from when I filled them in with markers. I smiled as I thought of it. We went outside and Matt opened the door for me. I slipped in almost falling as Matt grabbed my arm. "geezz cub you an accident waiting to happen" he says as I laugh at him sticking my tongue. I started to feel weird in my head, but I brush it off as I see Matt hop in starting the van as he puts his arm on my thigh. As we drive, I suddenly started to see a camera. Before I can think I see them circling the car as they snap photos. I suddenly started to freak out. I suddenly didn't feel Matts hand anymore. I look over to see Matt wasn't there. "Matt?" "Matthew where are you" I questioned as I'm now scared. Where was Matt. I then suddenly start to feel a pounding headache. I started to see water flowing in the floorboard as I feel it start coming up my legs. I suddenly wake up to the sound of laughter as I see Gracie pouring water on my feet. I wake up as I see I'm in my room in Orlando. I the start to freak out as I jerk up, it was all a dream. "Omg Soph, you good" Gracie says as she looks at my shocked state. "What day is it" "Its tour day silly" Gracie says as I look at her funny. I look at my phone and sure enough it was tour day. I sit up as I run my hand through my hair. "Matt, wait" "We haven't met them yet?" Gracie looks at me as she shakes her head no. "I'll be back" Gracie says as she walks out of my room. I start to tear up as I sit there. It really was my dream life.
