Since the Beginning[Matt Sturniolo]

Chapter 4

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I like to wake up to alarms even after graduating because it gives me a sense of time. I go downstairs to see my Dad watching recaps of baseball games the night before. I head to the kitchen and get a piece of toast. Baxter sits next to me on my bed as I watch The Rookie. I hear a vibration from my phone.

QUINN'S POV

I hear a knock on the door and answer. I know its Bryn because she was yelling my name. I run over and give Bryn the biggest hug as if I didn't see her less than 30 hours ago.

"Buddy I get that you missed me but that hug felt like you were going to kill me" Bryn says as she puts her stuff down and sits on the couch.

"Sorry" I gave her a guilty look on my face before hearing another know on the door, knowing its the triplets at this point.

I open the door with the widest grin, pulling them into the same hug I gave Bryn not too long ago.

"Ow Quinn, are you trying to kill us" Nick says as he pulls away looking at me like I'm crazy.

"THAT'S WHAT I SAID WHEN SHE HUGGED ME" Bryn says yelling like its the end of the world.

"Okay guys lets watch a movie. I know we watched tangled and I recently saw a trailer to a really good movie so I don't care what you guys think, we're watching it."

"Okay" Chris says not batting an eye.

The movie I put on was Twisters. We all loved the movie so I put it on again while we decide what we want for lunch and make it.

"Guys, I want chicken tenders" Bryn says while rubbing her stomach.

"Okay. I'll make them give me like 20 minutes."

I start the oven while putting the chicken tenders on the pan. I put them in the over with a timer and sit back down, invested in the movie as if I did not just watch it 30 minutes ago. Once the chicken tenders are done, I put them on equal plates and give some to each person.

"Thanks Q" Matt says while giving me a smile.

I return the smile and went to go throw my plate away. After eating, its 2pm. The movie ends and we start to play the game of life. Making teams so we could all play. Since there are 4 cars, me and Matt decided to team up, knowing we would be winning every game.

"BRO HOW DID YALL WIN AGAIN?!?" Nick says with the most confusing look on his face.

"We're just the best. Ain't that right Mattyb?"

"Yes, and stop calling me that" Matt says with an annoyed but happy face.

We end up not playing another round and head to bed. I decided to sleep with them on the couch because I dont want to be alone at night.

🔮TIME SKIP 🔮

I end up staying awake for most of the night. While everyone was asleep, my anxiety got bad and it was hard to fall asleep after my anxiety attack, knowing it might happen again and I don't want one in my sleep.

Whilst being up, I watched some childhood movies and cried when the My Little Pony theme song came on. I cried because my Mom would turn it on for me most of the time.

I woke up to people talking, not knowing what they were talking about. I look around to see who else is asleep still. Nick and Bryn are the only 2 asleep. I head over to where I heard the voiced and sat down next to Matt.

"Morning Q, do you want to make breakfast with me?" Matt says with a questioning loom on his face, wanting to know my answer.

"Sure. Can we make chocolate chip pancakes?"

"Of course we can if you have the ingredients."

"Sounds like we're making pancakes then."

We start making pancakes and it takes us an hour and a half to make all of them. We had to heat up them before we ate them because some got cold from sitting there after they were done. By this time, everyone is up and ready to eat.

IRL

     After breakfast, I read while they watch tv. After that. Everyone leaves, leaving me and  Baxter with the house to ourselves. I watch tv and read for a bit. I let Baxter outside and make some lunch for me. I let him inside as I eat, not wanting my food to get cold.

     I took a nap and wake up around 6 pm. I take a shower and watch youtube. I don't pay attention to the TV. I pay attention to the reflection in the mirror, admiring my flaws. Finally loving myself and the way I look. Finally realizing that all the fights with myslef and my body was a waste of time. A waste now knowing that I'm pretty and my body is the way its supposed to be.

     I stop looking in the mirror and focus on the TV. It's some slime challenge of 2016. I watch the video, actually laughing at some parts with them fighting over ingredients. After the video, I put on my headphones and listen to music. The playlist is mainly Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift but that's okay. They make amazing music anyways.

     I listen to the playlist for atleast an hour before I realize its 10 pm and make my way to my bathroom with pjs in hand. Getting changed and getting ready for bed. I get on bed and watch TV for a little more before finally closing my eyes and going into a deep sleep.
