Matt's POV

Why did Alyssa run off like that? I thought we were having some fun. I need to find out.

I get out of the pool and all around me, I hear voices saying, "Get back in," or "Why are you getting out?" I push the voices to the back of my head and begin drying myself with a white towel.

When I am finished, I set the towel back down on a chair and head inside. I quietly climb the stairs and go to the bedroom. When I enter, I hear the sound of the shower and know that she is definitely in there. I wait patiently for her to get done, and when the water stops and she comes out fully dress, I stand up and make my way to her. I try to pull her into a hug, but she pushes me away from her small frame. What is wrong with her? She never denies my hugs.

"Are you okay?" I ask her.

"Leave me alone," she stated calmly, making me even more confused.

"No," I state and walk towards her, to be pushed back again. "What's wrong?"

"I found these numbers in your pockets!" She says an hands me a stack of papers. Oh no, not the women's numbers.

Alyssa's POV

"Where did you get these?" He asks me.

"I just told you where I fucking got them!" I scream at him. Why is he trying to play dumb? I am not stupid.

"I love you," he says, which makes me even more angry.

"Don't say that," I reply.

"Do you want me to say that I don't?!" Great, now he's yelling also.

"I don't know what I want you to say!" I yell back at him. "Especially when you keep cheating on me!"

"I didn't know I feel about you, that is why I cheated on you in the past, but you won't let me explain who's numbers these are." He is angry.

"They are girls' numbers, that's who's they are," I respond.

"You are so stupid," he says to me, lowering his voice.

"You'll say one thing then take it back after some time, Matt. You'll give away something then take it back. I don't understand you! One moment you make me feel happy and on top of the world, but then the next you make me feel worthless and a waste of space. You make me feel things I never knew nor thought I could feel. You make me annoyed and frustrated, damn it! Sometimes I wish it could just all stop, and sometimes I wish it could just all continue. I want to continue, but you make me second think it!"

"How so?" He asks dumbly.

"Because of all of this," I say, motioning between us two.

"Let me explain-" he begins.

"No! I am tired of all of the explaining that goes on around-" he puts his hand over my mouth and talks again.

"Let me explain." I nod and he takes his hand from my mouth. He takes a piece of paper with Taylor's name on it. "She is a lady from a restaurant. I didn't want to be rude, so I just shoved it in my pants, but I forgot to throw it away." He hands me another piece with a name on it. "Elizabeth is my mom's best friend. She is like 45 and married. She also has kids. She gave me her new number to send it to my mom." He puts another piece in my hands. "Veronica is my best friend from high school. She is engaged. I ran into her and she wanted to catch up." Another piece of paper in my hands. "This is Jen number, a women who helped me study at the library for tests at school. She was also my tutor, and she is 60 something." One more piece of paper. "Renee is Elizabeth's daughter, and she is also married." Another slip of paper put into my delicate hands. "Mackenzie is another friend from high school who is lesbian." One last piece. "And Cheyenne is my dad's boss."

"Why do you have them though?" My voice barley comes out above a whisper.

"I find them in a bag and slipped them into my jeans. I was going to throw them away, but I guess I was too busy to remember," he says softly. "I'm sorry."

"I should be sorry," I say. "I shouldn't have overreacted like I did. I'm sorry."

"I love you," I say as I snuggle up with Matt at 5 in the morning, us about to go to sleep now.

"Love you more babe." He kisses my forehead and darkness takes over me.
