May's POV

There he is. Wearing a white blouse, his always ripped jeans and black boots. With a smile on his lips, his eyes like dark chocolate and the messy curly hair.

It feels like I see him for the first time. Without even thinking I run over to him, wrap my arms around him and inhale his scent; cigarettes, sweat and a really expensive perfume.

He hide his face in my hair and holds me tight. We keep standing like that for a few minutes in silence. There is nothing to say.

Too soon he pulls me back to look over me.
Today is one of those days, you wake up and know you look terrible.
When I looked in the mirror, I noticed the bruises on my face, my neck and arms. I started crying but as quiet as possible because Tyler was still sleeping and he hates seeing me cry.
I took a shower but didn't feel better. So I put tonnes of makeup on to hide the bruises and a white shirt with a leather jacket, which reminded me of Matty.

Every time Tyler is rude and I cry because of him I think of Matty.
He is making me smile, I remember his scent, the way he looks at me and the sound of his voice.
And now he is standing infront of me, his arms around my waist.

"You look terrible love", he smiles.
"And you look tired", I lay my fingers on his cheek. He closes his eyes, enjoying the touch.

"How were you when I was away?"
"Okay."
"Don't lie to me May! I see your bruises!!"
He sounds upset.
"It's not a big deal! Really!"
"It's is!!! May, he is hurting you!"
"He was drunk!"
"It fucking doesn't matter!!!"
Matty makes me looking at him.
"May..."
I can see the pain in his eyes. It hurts him to see me like that.
I decide to change the topic, to distract him.
"How was Australia?"

Confused, and still looking at me, he answers.
"Fine! It was great!"
"And how long will you stay?"
"Two days!"
"Oh..."
"Two days, I am planning to spend with you", he grins.
"But what about Chelsea?"
"She is not in the country right now! So why don't you close the store and we go for a drink or something?"
"Uhm okay...but I need to be home till Tyler comes home."
May nods.

We are sitting in McDonald's and argue about what tastes better Coke light or the original Coke.
"Why the hell do you think it tastes like shit?", I laugh.
"Because it's light. And to be honest it makes no difference if you drink six of yours and two of the original Coke!"
I burst into laughter.
"I love it when you laugh."
I nearly immediately stop laughing.
"Stop talking like that!"
Matty furrows, but doesn't respond.

After a few minutes, I touch his hand.
"Hey sorry...it's just. You said we are friends and we have this trade you remember? So you can't say things like that!"
He takes my hand in his,rubbing my palm.
"I remember. I am sorry."
His touch makes my heart beating faster.
"Okay, how was the time with Tyler?"
"Well...It was alright when he was sober. We didn't argue or anything, we were just doing our thing it wasn't even that bad to have him around. But when he came back from being out with friends...", I hide my face with my palms, trying to forget how cruel Tyler was how cold and distant his voice sounded.

"I am very sorry to hear that!"
I look at him. Matty avoids my glare but I notice he is upset. More than upset.
"I wish I could do anything for you!"
"You do. You are here that's everything I could wish for."
That makes him smile and to see him smile, cheers me up.
He looks adorable when he smiles. It's like you are looking in the sun, it's like his smile makes all the shadows leave.
I think I am falling for you Matty....
