"Mom.. can I go out with a friend tonight?" I ask as I fumble with my hands.
"If you’re going out with Matt again, I want you home in three hours."
Nodding my head, I walk back up to my room and call Matt. “I only have three hours." I complain as I hear him sigh on the other end.
"I’ll be there in five minutes babe." he says before hanging up.
-
As I watch out the window, Matt finally pools in. “Mom, he’s here." I say as I take her attention away from the book she was reading.
"Don’t forget I want you home in three hours. three and a half at the latest."
-
Quickly walking out the door, I pull it shut and begin to run towards his car. “Hi!" I say with a smile once in beside him. “Hey." he replied with a frown on his face. “What’s wrong?" I ask although I already knew the answer. “Nothing. Oli and the boys are at my place. Are you okay with that?" he asks.
I don’t know why he even asked, I don’t mind being around the guys. They’re just very rude about Matt and I’s relationship.
"Yeah, that’s fine Matt."
-
"Oh." Oli mutters when we both walk in the door. “Hi (Y/N)." Smiling, Matt pulls me back to his room.
"Don’t do anything too fucking stupid, mate. She’s only 15." I hear Oli say as we walk through the hall.
-
I can’t help but feel terrible. Because of me the guys, especially Oli, are treating Matt like shit. Sometimes I wonder why he’s even still with me. He could easily just tell me that we’re over and find someone else. But he doesn’t.
-
As soon as I get into his room I sit right down on his bed as I watch him stand before me.
"Babe?"
"Yeah?" I ask back to his questioning tone looking up into his eyes.
"What’re you thinking about?"
"Nothing Matt. Just don’t worry about it." I say before looking back down at my feet.
"Don’t worry about it? Are you fucking shitting me right now?"
Shocked that he even used that tone with me, I look back up at him. “Nobody likes the idea of us together Matt. Nobody. We barely have time with one another because my mom absolutely hates you. I feel responsible for the way they treat you. Mostly just Oli because the rest mind their own business. Why are you even with me? There’s no sex, I’m still in school, I’m much younger than you, and I overreact to everything. Matt, I don’t even drink."
Frowning again, he sits down beside me. I’m sorry, “I didn’t mean to talk that way to you. You’re everything I could ever ask for. Fuck the sex, I’ll wait as long as you need me to. I don’t care if you’re still in school or not. I don’t care if you’re younger than me. I don’t care if you don’t drink and you overreact to things. What I care about is that you’re okay. I care about YOU." he says basically shouting in my face as he puts both of his hands on either side of my face like he would if he were going to kiss me. "(Y/N)… I love you. We can make this work. I promise we’ll find a way."
