irl, messages

matt waves goodbye to kaia as he drives away in his car, looking back at her before she's too far away and out of matt's sight.

he turns up the volume on the music to listen to it by himself as he drives back home, thinking about her the whole time.

the death of me was so quiet, no friends and family allowed. only my murderer, you, and the priest who told you to go to hell. and the funny thing is, i would've married you, if you'd have stuck around. i feel more free than i have in years, six feet in the ground.

he arrives home, walking inside and immediately to the kitchen to grab a rootbeer from the fridge, joining nick, chris, nathan, and chloe in the living room as they play mario kart.

he sits next to nathan and watches in amusement as he beats everyone, chris right close behind him in the final lap.

"haha!" nathan shoots up out of his seat, pointing and laughing at chris who he beat by a hair.

"nate." matt laughs, sipping his drink.

"suckers." nathan sticks out his tongue and points at nick and chris.

"what about me? you beat me, too." chloe asks nate.

"yeah, you're not a challenge. they are." nathan responds jokingly.

"hey!" chloe retorts.

nathan just laughs and sets his controller down on the center console, everyone else doing the same and beginning to scroll on their phones.
