Unnatural || Matthew Espinosa

Ch 4

Karen's pov

I open the fridge and grab a bottled water. I might've been really thirsty because I drank it half way. As I put the water back in the fridge, someone knocks on the kitchen door. It's literally 3 in the morning, who and why would someone be awake and knocking on people's doors?

I don't even check to see who it is and open the door. Once I open it I recognize that it's the guy who knocked this morning. And this time I make sure I'm actually looking at him and not going insane.

"Hey again," The mysterious guy says. "Can I come in? I'm no harm," Is this guy serious? I would laugh in his face but I'm not that rude.

"Uh no, who are you?" I ask.

"Oh how rude of me. I'm Matthew Espinosa but call me Matt," He holds out his hand for me to shake. I take his hand and when I do he pulls me into a hug instead. I let go fast because I was shocked by his gesture.

"Sorry I had to," He apologizes and walks in. I have this strange feeling that wanted him to come in anyway.

"It's okay but what do you want and why are you here?" I have been holding those questions since he knocked on the door.

"You know you ask a lot of questions. But just so you know I don't want anything right now," He answer only one of my questions. At this point I don't know if he's joking or not with the answer he gave me. He probably is.

"Well can you leave because I got to go back to bed," I try my best to be polite.

"Yea sure but I'll be back," He goes to the door and leaves. I couldn't be more thankful. Now that I know I'm not going insane and was actually talking to someone.

I head upstairs and into my room. I hop on my bed rubbing my hands through my hair and eventually sleep takes over.

-10am-

I wake up and the first thing I think about is the boy I was talking with last night. Matt. I honestly don't know what to think about that. I can't even process it yet. I need to just shake it off, whatever this feeling is. Which I can't really define.

I check my phone for any messages and there's only one from my mom asking me why I decided to go to my grandmas. I respond telling her that I missed my grandma. It wasn't a complete lie but it wasn't the truth either.

I get out of my comfy bed to get some breakfast which I decided to have a breakfast in bed. I just need to make the breakfast. I walk over to Siena's room first to check to see if she's still asleep which she is.

I walk downstairs and straight into the kitchen. I can't decide if I want waffles or cereal. I decide waffles. I start making my breakfast and my grandma walks in.
