Chapter 33

He ripped the tape and opened it slowly.

I looked at his face, and it was puzzled.

"Wh-Wh-What is it?" I stuttered, hoping it wouldn't be something bad.

"Nothing..." He paused, shoving his hand inside the box, shuffling around flinging Styrofoam things on the floor. "Its just an empty bo-wait, hold up." He grabbed something. "Is this a recorder?" He finished pulling out the device.

I got closer to him, examining it. "Yeah I think so." I answered.

"Well.." He set the box down on the floor, sitting down at the bar. "Let's see what's on here." He finished as I joined him.

He pressed play, but there was nothing but static.

"I don't uh, I don't think anything is on here." Matt said, looking at me.

"Well hang on, lets just play it until it stops. Who knows what's on here..." I told him.

"Okay." He said, placing the recorder on the counter as we continued to listen.

About a minute or two passed then we started to hear some voices, but they were very faint.

Then I heard Matt's name being called. I looked at him, but he didn't look back. Hmm, mustve been a different Matt.

I then heard moans, but they were muffled.

I was shocked. I hoped this wasn't Matty, we love each other....right?

I continued to listen as the constant moans and groans continued, along with Matt's name again and the word "harder" was said repeatedly.

As I listened, my mind went to a thousand places. 'What if Matt is cheating on me?' 'What if he doesn't love me anymore?' 'No, he has to love me. I mean, what we did yesterday in the car...he has to.'

I tried to calm myself, and glanced over at Matt who looked nervous.

I grabbed the recorder and paused it.

Neither one of us spoke, making me annoyed and nervous.

I cleared my throat, hoping he would speak first, but he didn't even look at me.

"Fine, I'll talk first geez." I groaned, getting up walking around.

He still didn't look at me.

"Matt, what was that? That entire recording. That was you and another girl having sex, right? I mean correct me if I'm wrong here." I snapped, my anger showing more than I wanted.

He didn't move.

"Matt." I called.

Still nothing.

I calmed down a bit. I should probably hear him out instead of yelling at him.

"Matthew, please answer me." I sat down next to him.

He exhaled, looking at me briefly.

"Matthew, talk to me. I need to know answers."
