Matt's P.O.V
"Uh, hey Willow?" I ask hesitantly.
"mhm?" She replies, turning to face me.
"Can I talk to you for a second.. in private?"
"Sure..?" She replies hesitantly, following me to a place out if sight from the rest of the group. "What do you need Matt?"
"So, you know grom?" I ask, fidgeting with my sweater string things.
"Yeah?"
"I was wondering, I you could help me figure out what flowers to get for Gus?" I ask nervously.
"Aww that's so cute! And yes, of course. When do you want to get them?"
"Uh, Well groms in 2 weeks right?"
"Yeah it is."
"So sometime next week I want to ask him."
"That makes sense. I'm free Wednesday if that works?"
"Yeah that works." I reply.
"Okay, I'll get Hunter to drive you over to my house after school on Wednesday, mk?" She says.
"Okay. Thanks again by the way." I say. We walk back to the group together. I sit down beside Gus. My food had been delivered by the time I got back, so I start eating.

"Thanks Hunter! See you later!" I say as I open the door to my house. "I'M HOME STEVE!" I receive no reply. He's probably just out or something. I head up to my bedroom and sit on my bed. I sigh, looking around my room, when something sticks out. A small box on my desk.
I remember what it is, and a wave of guilt washes over me. I walk over to the desk and open the small box. Revealing a small blood stained blade. I sigh, looking down at the scars on my wrists.
I'm better now, I'm pretty sure. I haven't thought about any of that since transferring.
I close the box and grab a roll of duck tape out of my desk drawer. I wrap the box with the duck tape thoroughly before throwing it in the garbage. I want to leave that part of me in the past, and that felt like the easiest option.
I throw myself onto the bed, opening messenger.
Steve :) - 1 new message

I decide to open Steve's chat first.
Steve :)
Steve : I just went out with my gf for a bit, I'll be home around 7 :)

Since when did he have a girlfriend? This was new news to me. I roll my eyes before opening Gus's chat.

Gus : I'm getting my dad to drive me

Matt : omg your actually doing to get killed
Gus : whatever :3
I get up off my bed and start pacing my room. He can't sleep here? His house is so different from mine, he can't handle this. I take a deep breath, deciding to head outside to wait for him.
I sit down on the porch steps, looking out over the gloomy neighborhood. I gasp when I catch sight of a certain purple haired girl. Of fucking course Bria has to show up now. She sees me sitting on my steps and walks over.
"Hey Matty! where have you been?" She asks, sitting down on the step beside me and giving me a seemingly sincere smile. But we all know, it's really not all that genuine.
"Oh, I've been here, why?" I lie.
"Why haven't you been at school though?" She asks, placing her hand on top of mine.
"I- I uhm.." I stutter, frozen in place.
"You don't want to see me?" She asks playfully, placing her other hand on my thigh.
"Bria.. please get off of me.." I whisper, getting increasingly more uncomfortable.
"Why?~ You didn't miss me?" She coos, leaning closer to my face. I lean away from her, laughing nervously. "Oh don't be like that Matty..~"
"Bria.. please.." I plead, turning my head to the side and shutting my eyes tightly.
"Matty..?" I hear a familiar voice say from infront of us. I turn to see Gus, standing there with tears in his eyes. I go wide eyed, starting to cry.
Nonononononononononono please.. he's going to hate me..
"Hi, I'm Bria, Matty's Girlfriend, who are you?" Bria says, getting up off the steps and walking towards Gus.
"I- I'm Gus.." He replies sheepishly, keeping his eyes on me.
"Gus i-" I start, before I can finish my sentence. he has already ran down the driveway and down the sidewalk. Shit. I jump off the steps swiftly.
"Oh, well where were we Matty?~" Bria says, grabbing my waist. I pull myself out of her grasp and start running after Gus.
Guys I'm so sorry about this one. I wasn't planning this but the midnight ideas hit different sometimes. :)
I hope you guys are enjoying so far! I love reading the comments, they really make my day. :)
