hi!!!!! I'm glad you all like this book so far!!!! I'm sorry if I keep making you cry :( but when I write this story I tend to listen to depressing music which is probably why its so sad!

Well with out further delay!!! Here is the next chappy

Enjoy!!!!!!!

***Matt's POV***

I watched Johnny carry Linds up the stairs. Brian was tense, as he watched them too. What was up with him? He's acting like he likes her. He shouldn't, he has Michelle.

"Holding in there Matty?" I turned around seeing Tiff smiling at me. Over these last months, Tiff's face was the only thing I looked forward to seeing. She made me happier then Val ever did.

"yeah I'm holding in there." I smiled throwing my arm around her shoulder, walking into the house. " want something to drink?"

" sure" she took a seat on one of our bar stools, watching me. My heart started racing as her eyes followed me. My heart always raced when we were close, ever since the day we met.

"um... We have tea, coffee, water" I asked as my head was now in the fridge. " oh if you want anything with some kick, it's locked in the cabinet over there" I pointed.

Her laugh, made my body start tingling. What's wrong with me? A few months ago, I could barely get off the fucking couch. Now I'm making jokes.

"waters fine" she laughed again.

I stood up getting a glass. As I thoughtlessly filled it with water, my conscience started to get to me.

I shouldn't be this happy.... I should be morning Jimmy. Jimmy my best friend, my brother.

I gave Tiff her water and I sat next to her. I sat there feeling guilty, feeling guilty about forgetting the pain in my body when she was here. With out the pain in my body, Jimmy really wasn't with me anymore.

Even though it was pain, It made me constantly think of Jimmy. I was afraid that if I stopped thinking of him.... I would forget him, and he'd be alone.

"Matty you ok?" I took a deep breath, turning to look at her. "you don't look to good"

"I'm fine, just thinking" I smiled and I scooted my stool closer to hers.

"about Jimmy?" she leaned her head on my shoulder, rubbing my back gently.

"yeah, I think about him all day, everyday Tiff.... " i turned looking into her beautiful blue eyes. "Just when your here, you make that stop. You make me forget about the pain eating away at my body."

I looked at her, her eyes just staring at me.

"it makes me feel guilty, for forgetting about Jimmy.... I don't want him to be forgotten" I placed my head in my hands

"hey, hey, hey" I felt Tiff's arms wrap around my shoulders, my heart beat picking up from her closeness. "how could you ever forget Jimmy, he's all around us all the time Matty. There's nothing in this world that could make you forget Jimmy"

I smiled up at her, she was right. I could never forget Jimmy.

"Do you remember how we met Matt?" I grinned knowing what she was getting at.

"I remember like it was yesterday" I smiled big at her. When she blushed, my smile got bigger.

*** Matt's flash back***

"one day matt, I'm going to run away... I'm going to run away to the woods to become a fucking knife master" I laughed as I helped jimmy walk down the street. He had a bit to much to drink at the after party.

"yep, sure you are Jimmy" I patted his back laughing. It was my night to watch Jimmy, since linds had to go home early. We had joint custody of him, that's what we always joked about.

That's when Jimmy started running, he ran fast. I sighed chasing after him.

"you can't catch me I'm the fucking jimmy-bread man" he yelled as he ran down the street. Fuck he was such a hassle when he was drunk.

"Jimmy get your scrawny ass back here!!" I yelled, following him.

I chased him down the dark streets, trying to follow him the best I could. That's when I tripped over something big, making me land in the lawn by the sidewalk.

I looked back seeing Jimmy squishing a girl. From here I could tell she had long wavy brown hair. She looked familiar but I couldn't place my finger on it.

"look Matty, I tripped over a...." Jimmy never even finished his sentenced. He just rolled off her on to the lawn. "look I can be a fucking gnome"

"Jimmy your to tall to be a gnome" I slapped my face, then I remembered the girl. "hey I'm sorry about him, he's a bit drunk" I glanced back over to him, seeing him try to give his best lawn flamingo stance. "ok a lot drunk"

She laughed, and took my hand helping herself up. She brushed off her jeans and looked at me. Her blue eyes, piercing threw mine.

"it's ok, no harm done" she gave me a shy smile, blushing. "hey aren't you lindsey's friends?" she asked. She knows linds? Really?

"that would be us" I laughed

"I'm linds's sexy stud of a boyfriend, not a friend" Jimmy said as he did a rolling dive on the lawn.

She giggled watching Jimmy be a complete idiot.

"I'm Tiff by the way" she put her hand out.

"Matt and that crazy duck over there is Jimmy" I shook her hand smiling, feeling a spark between us already. I'm still with Val!! I can't think like this!!!

"cool! Well I have to get going I'm sure I'll see you around!" she waved and smiled walking away, even though deep down I really didn't want her to go. "Bye Matty, by Jimmy!"

"bye Tiffy!!!" Jimmy yelled smiling at us. Then he started laughing "Tiffy and Matty...... That's so fucking cute!" he jumped in the air.

"bye tiff, I hope I see you around." I waved and watched as see walked off. My heart aching a bit. "come on knife master, let's get you home, so you can go to bed"

I picked him up throwing him over my shoulder.

"you should dump Val, for Tiffy!!! She seems way cooler!" he laughed

"maybe someday jimbo" I smiled to myself as I carried my best bud home, thinking about what he said.

***end flash back***

"Matty? Are you ok??" Tiff's blue eyes focused on mine.

"yeah, just remembering that day. If Jimmy never ran you over, we probably never would have met" I laughed slightly.

"well if I remember correctly I got ran over by the Jimmy-bread man" she laughed and leaned in hugging me. Why did this feel so natural. All I know is when she's around the pain that pierced my heart didn't hurt so bad.

I pulled her away slightly, then I leaned in crushing my lips to hers. I kissed her softly then pulled away looking into her blushing face.

"stay with us? You help in more ways then you know Tiff. You don't only help linds, but all of us" I hugged her to me, the pain slowly disappearing all together.

"I'll stay only because I know Jimmy would want me too." she smiled and hugged me back. Jimmy was fond of her, and I wish I listened to him sooner about dumping Val.

It's, kind of weird but Jimmy Wasn't always a joker, sometimes when he was drunk, he gave us some pretty inspiring talks. God do I miss those.

I smiled to myself, remembering the good times we had together drunk, him giving me inspirational talks about who knows what.

I watched tiff walk into the living room. I got up to follow her, as I did, my eyes went to the ceiling.

"let's hear it jimbo" I smiled knowing that Jimmy was up in heaven telling me he told me so, and that I should of listened sooner. I laughed to myself. " this is the only time I'm admitting this, but you were completely right, I should have listened to you Jimmy"
