You know love is good. Love is wonderful and perfect in the beginning, but through time it fades. Or well the perfect happily ever afters turns into a normal average ending. Love is nothing like it is in the movies. It's way harder than that. And if love was like it was in the movies then what would be the point? You know you're going to have that happily after ever so you wouldn't try. At least in reality we try; even if it's a hell trying.
I threaten to leave Matthew for the second time this month.
"Fine do it!" he yelled at me. I'm so angry and pissed off I turned and ran up the stairs to our room.
Love fades it's normal, it's life. I'm almost 18, and I'm not looking for a husband. That idea ran through my head as I gathered my stuff. I sat on the bed and cried. Cried because I had no idea it was going to be like this. Cried because Matthew makes me so damn angry with myself. Cried because everything Matt tells me I know he's right.
"Gone yet?" Matthew walked in annoyed. I stood up grabbing my bag and pushed past him. He's so fucking annoying, "love to see you walk out that door!" he called after me.
"God I hate you!" I yelled back turning to look at him. He was closer than I thought. He looked at me his eyes full of anger. I looked at him for a couple of seconds more then turned away to walk out, but he grabbed my arm. He pulled me into his arms and held me. I fought him, but that made him hold me tighter.
"You don't hate me." he said still angry.
"Stop!" I yelled pushing him still, "I hate you!" I cried into his arms and stopped fighting. Just cried while he held me.
Even if it's a hell trying.

"I told him I was going to leave again." I laughed as I told Hamiltoe about the story from last night. He looked at me like I was crazy. Hey maybe I am.
"Why haven't you two broken up yet?" he asked. I sighed putting my head on the table. All I'm left with is Hamiltoe to talk to since everyone is gone.
"I don't know we don't talk. Like ever. He gets too clingy at times and I'm like ahhh give me space I'm just going to Andrea's house or you know simple stuff." I shrugged. He gave me the look again.
"It's called a relationship," I was going to say something, but it was like Hamiltoe read my mind, "not just about the I love you's, sex, and happiness. Also about the in sickness, poorness, fights."
"That's a marriage. I'm talking about something that will probably last another week or so. Then I'll grow up maybe find a husband maybe not. Live in a big house with a dog. Realistic dreams here." there's the good ol' look.
"You two need to stop being dumb and talk it out. The more you avoid this the more you will break away from one another," I sipped on my tea avoiding his eyes, "is all you do think about the future? Gosh Seren be a kid for once. Live in the moment."
"I didn't say anything."
"But I can read your mind. You know your relationship is going to end soon so you might as well end it now," he shook his head, "that's messed up." he shook his head.
"There's nothing wrong with that. I'm already on my second year of collage for a 17 year old. I'm gonna get far with that, my youtube channel is almost to five hundred thousand subscribers I could go far with that if I wanted also. Planing ahead isn't a bad thing," I shook my head, "save myself a heartbreak."
"Can you listen to me for once?" he asked annoyed. I rolled my eyes, but nodded my head for him to continue, "talk to Matt. Actually talk about what happens between you two. If you like it or not you're going to be stuck with him for the rest of your life."
He had a point. I lied to him though. It's not that I want to save myself a heartbreak. I really just don't want to admit that. I'm way to stubborn for my own good. You see we're not just fighting just cause. Well apart of it yes, but there's more to our story than him being clingy. I'm sure he's only like that for my own good.
"Hey remember what Troye told us?" he asked me. I just shrugged, "if you love someone set them free if they come back..." he kissed his fingers then waved his hand out.
"Wow you're annoying." I laughed. I looked down playing with my hands.
"Don't let him get away Serena. Please." I looked up at him, but didn't say anything. We just looked at each other both knowing what I need to do.
