Behind his smile...

Chapter 43

Sarah's P.O.V.

"Matt wake up its 10:30 in the Morning." I said looking at the digital clock.

"Matt come on wake up! We're getting the fireworks today, remember??" I yawned.

I decided to take this time and get ready.

I first washed my face and brushed my teeth before getting dressed.

I stripped from my pajamas that I wore to bed last night and put on a white tank top and black nike shorts.

I put on some makeup then went to wake Matt up.

"Matt come on. Wake up!" I said shaking him.

"No..." My voice came out small.

"Matt?" I gasped.

He was pale, cold, and very still.

"Matt!!! No!!!! Please let this be a dream! Matt please wake up!" I cried shaking him.

I broke down in tears. I have no idea where I am and my boyfriend, the love of my life, is dead.

"Matt? Matt!!!! Please!!!" I cried harder.

"Sarah?" I heard Matt say.

"Matt?" I said hopefully.

"Sarah come on let's go get fireworks!" Matt's voice sounds full of life.

The only thing that confused me was when Matt was talking his mouth didn't move nor did his body.

"Sarah wake up!" Matt's voice needed through my dream.

I abruptly woke up.

"MATTT!!!!" I hugged him "thank god your alive! I had this dream and... And... You. Well it doesn't matter anymore."

"Sarah, that would never happen. I promise." He hugged me tightly.

"Ok well I'm gonna get dressed then we can go." I said getting up.

"Ok, by the way, are you gonna keep that shirt or...?" Matt trailed off.

I hadn't realized that I was wearing Matt's shirt until now. I forgot that I had slept in it.

"Nah, I think I'll keep your first offer and keep it. It is really nice and it smells like you." I said and smiled.

"Well in that case, I think you should just wear that and some shorts." Matt suggested.

"Ok. I like that idea." I said.

Once as we were both ready we headed for the road again.

"Matt can you believe that it's almost the Fourth of July?" I asked.

"Yeah I know. I don't want summer to end." He said.

"Well it won't for a while." I said.

We stayed quite for a while until Matt turned on the radio.

"Sarah?" Matt asked.

"Yeah? What's up?" I replied.

"We only have two more years until college." He frowned.

"I don't really want to talk about that." I said.

"Well what are we gonna do?" He asked.

"About what? College? Well hopefully go to college." I said.

"No I mean about us. What are we gonna do about us?" He asked.

"Oh, well that's along ways away." I said.
