My fighter(Matt Rempe imagines)

Come in with the rain(017)

Matt and i had our first big fight. I can't even tell you what it was about, that's how stupid it was. Maybe it was hockey? Or being away so much? Or maybe something about the nhl? I can't remember.

The only thing i can focus on is the rain. It's raining so hard out right now. Matt stormed out of the apartment so i don't know where he is. We don't live together yet so he's staying over at my apartment. Well was staying over.

Matt and i almost never fight. So that fact we had our first big fight scares me. What if we finally realized we can fight with each other? Or be mean to each other? I don't want to worry about this right now.

It's raining really hard out. That's the only sound going around my apartment. The sound of rain. It's supposed to rain for the next five days too. Which absolutely sucks. I really wanted to go to the pool and tan.

I keep checking my phone thinking Matt will text me. But he doesn't. And i don't want to text him and make him more mad than he already is.

He literally stormed out the door. Slammed it and everything. The more i think about it the more i get nervous.

I get up and start pacing. I keep pacing and pacing. I check my phone, no answer. I continue to pace. Then i pace and pace. Then check my phone again. No answer. I continue to pace.

I do that for a good thirty minutes and still no text or call or anything. Where could this boy be?

Should i text his family? He can't be with them because they're in Calgary, and we're in new york. Something tells me he talked to them.

I grab my phone and call Alley.

"Hello?" Her voice fills my phone.

"Have you heard from Matt?" I ask nervously.

She doesn't answer for a little bit.

"Is he not with you?" She genuinely sounds surprised.

"No, we kinda got into a fight and he just left." I start to pace again.

"Want me to try and call him?" She says in a low voice.

"Please?" I ask in a voice that makes me sound like a child.

"Okay, i'll talk to you later." She spits out before hanging up.

I put my phone down and go to my bathroom. I turn my shower on and find a towel. If i take a shower maybe it'll pass time. It will also probably make me feel better too.

I also find fresh clothes and lay them on my bed. I go back into the bathroom and undress and get in the shower. The hot water stings my body but i don't turn it down. I just stand there.

I finally turn around after that and get my hair wet. The hot water hurts my scalp but i don't turn it down this time too. I grab my shampoo and wash my hair.

I turn around and wash my body. When i do i rub too much and my skin turns red. I quickly turn the water off and get out. I wrap the towel around my body and stand in front of the mirror.

I stop staring at myself and grab my clothes. I slowly get dressed then throw my towel in the hamper. I go back to the living room and grab my phone.

No text, no call, no nothing. I go to the window and open the curtain. It's still raining hard out. You can hear the drops hit the window. You can see the drops falling from the sky. Wherever Matt is in hope he's okay.

I walk to the couch and plop down. I turn the tv on and throw Grey's anatomy on. I'm watching it until i hear banging on my door. I slowly get up and slowly walk to my door.

When i peep through the peep hole i let out a breath. I open the door and i can immediately smell his cologne.

His rain soaked body is all i can focus on. His hair and clothes are soaked, the water dripping from his lips and chin.

He lets out a sigh before coming in for a kiss. The rain that was on his face is now on mine. His hand softly gripping my chin and his other hand on my hip.

"I'm sorry." His voice is heavy when he speaks.

"You can't just walk out like that." I say looking up at him.

"I know and i'm sorry i did, i just needed to blow off steam." He's still standing in the rain.

I slowly step back.

"Come inside." He gives me a blank expression. "Come on." I say waving him inside.

He comes inside then shuts the door behind him.

"Stay there." I walk to the bedroom.

I find his drawer and grab him fresh clothes. I walk out to him just standing still. I hand him his clothes then go to the bedroom.

I sit on the bed and wait and wait and wait. When i hear him come in he looks so fresh. His hair is still soaking wet though and some water is dripping off his lips.

He sits down next to me.

"What even happened?" I say slightly tilting my head.

"I don't even know, and i'm sorry i picked a fight." He gives me a quick kiss on my temple.

"It's okay, next time we just need to talk it out." I say giving him a look.

"I know i know." He gives me a sad look.

"I was really worried about you." I say pointing at him.

"Why?" He asks genuinely confused.

"You didn't text, call or anything." I say scrunching up my eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, i just didn't want to fight more." He grabs my hand and holds it.

"Oh, it's fine." I say looking down at the floor.

He takes my head and pulls it to his chest. I can hear his heartbeat. The leftover water dripping from his chin is now on my head. But i don't say anything about it. Because right now it good, everything is good.

Matt came home, he's not hurt, we apologized to each other, and hopefully no more fights.

The rain is still pretty loud outside. It sounds more like hail than actual rain. But i don't mind it. The sound it quite soothing. So soothing i fall asleep in Matt's arms.
