Home ( A Matthew Espinosa Fanfic )

Picture

  My hands trembled as we pulled up to matt's house. It's been a week since he's asked me out and he wants to have a Netflix day today at his house. What if his parents are there?
  " don't worry. My parents aren't home " he smiled at me. Whoa did he read my mind or something? I smiled back at him before getting out of the car, Trailing behind him as he opened the door. Right as we walked in there was a shirtless boy walking around.
  " hey Shawn! " Matt said. I looked over at the boy and seen scratches on his back.. What the..? Matt introduced us and didn't see Shawn's back I guess. " where's Natalie? " Matt said to Shawn.
  " just upstairs in the bathroom"  he said. Right on cue a short red head hopped down the stairs. She was wearing an oversized t-shirt and no pants from what I could tell. She skipped over to Shawn and kissed him on the cheek. " you look good in my shirt babe " he smiled and kissed her pulling her close.
  " whoa guys! Not in front of me okay? " Matt pushed them apart. I giggled at that and the girl turned to me.
  " Hey! I'm Natalie, matt's younger sister. I'm 16 " she smiled. She was really pretty and something was up with her pupils.
  " Hi I'm Emily, and hey I'm 16 too! " I smiled back. We all walked over to the couch. " we should watch full house " I smiled at Matt.
  " YES! " I heard Natalie yell. Matt started looking around the couch and scanned the room.
  " can someone grab the remote? " Matt said, we all looked over at the remote which was across the room.
  " nose goes! " I yelled. Natalie, Matt, and I all touched our noses before Shawn. Shawn groaned and got up.
  " SHAWN WHAT IS ON YOUR BACK! " Matt yelled. Shawn turned around and his face went red. Natalie started giggling on the couch and he turned to Natalie. " you fucked Shawn?! " with that we all burst into laughter Except Matt who look disgusted. "
  " where exactly have you guys fucked in this house? " Matt looked curiously.
  " everywhere " Natalie smirked.
  " even my bedroom?! " Matt screeched. We all laughed until our sides hurt.

                     Later

We pulled up to my house and seen that Tess's car wasn't there. Oh well. " you want to come in for a bit? " I looked over at him. He smiled and nodded his head. I smiled to myself as we got out of the car.
As we walked into the house I got a bit embarrassed. His house was a lot nicer than mine, and more modern. I looked up at Matt who was looking around. Oh fuck, he's going to think I'm into old granny stuff.
" wow, you're house is so cozy. I wish mine was like this. " I stared at him blankly.
" really? "
" yeah! Mines not full of pictures of memories and stuff. Just bare walls and flat screen tv's " he laughed. I took his hand and showed him the rest of the house. Trying to avoid my bedroom.
" so where's your bedroom? " fuck.
" upstairs. "
" can I see? " he smiled. I sighed and led him to my room. I let out another silent sigh as I twisted the brass door handle. Pushing the door open i felt the regret right away. I watched as Matt looked around. My yellow walls covered in pictures and drawings from years ago, my twin sized bed with turquoise pillows and blankets, and my book shelf filled with books and little things I used to collect. I watched as Matt examined my room and headed towards my wall. He looked closely at every picture and every drawing.
" Emily, these are amazing. Uh who's that? " he pointed to a picture with a gold frame around it, on my book shelf. I grabbed the picture with a sigh and sat on the edge of my bed.
" That's my birth parents " I stared at the picture. I examined my mom's appearance.  Her dark brown curly hair, her bright blue eyes, and her happy smile. My father on the other hand looked rugged, as if he hadn't slept for days, But he was still smiling. It was the most fake smile I've ever seen.
" what happened to them? " Matt said interrupting my thoughts. I kept my eyes locked on the photo.
" My dad had a drug and alcohol problem, and at first it was as bad. He would just come home and go to bed. Then he started doing the stuff at home, like there would be lines of coke on the table, empty beer bottles, and needles. He started to get angry all the time, and he would hit my mom. I tried to defend her but he just hit me too. Soon my mom felt useless, not being able to protect me and all, so she started using too. I was my fathers punching bag, and my mothers reason to use. So I ended up calling the cops and that's when Tess showed up in my life. Now I'm here. " I looked up at Matt with teary eyes, he was already looking at me and I seen a tear roll down his cheek.
" Emily I'm so sorry " he pulled me in for a hug and I buried my face in his neck. Why did I just open up like that? I never do that.
