Remenissions (Avenged Sevenfold)

Chapter 75

Matt's POV

I watched her leave, then I went and sat in the living room. I was bored now and I had nothing to do and I found myself getting pissed off at Lana for going into work. I was going to sit her down, we were going to talk about it, I knew she didn't like her job much, so I hoped she would agree, give it up. She was going to have to take leave for the tour this summer anyway, she was coming on that, there was no way I was going without with Lana. Lana had caught up with on us on a tour before, stayed for a few days but left again. I couldn't wait for her to come for the whole tour, and of course she was coming whether she wanted to or not. I was looking forward to it and I hoped Lana would too.

I laughed out loud, this conversation alone was going to cause an argument I just knew it. Lana was stubborn and I was so stubborn, that by the time the tour comes around we probably won't be speaking to each other. That was fine, even if we weren't speaking, she was still coming on this fucking tour.

I got up and went into the room we'd set up for my games. I'd just do what I told Lana I would, hang out here, eat, wait up for her, so that's exactly what I did.

I played games for awhile and then I ordered in a pizza. I made sure there was enough left over for Lana in case she came home from work hungry. After the pizza I decided to watch a movie and I popped it on, settling back on the couch to watch.

Half way through my phone rang and I sat up, grabbing it. Hopefully it was Lana calling me in her break and I groaned. Jesus, I couldn't do anything with out her. When I glanced at my phone and saw who was calling, I was bitterly disappointed.

"Hello." I snapped, answering it.

"Matt, it's me Courtney." And I felt sick at the sound of her voice. "How are you doing?"

Why the fuck was she even calling. I knew it was to good to be true. I knew she couldn't leave us alone.

"I'm fine Courtney." I said shortly. "What do you want?"

"I just wanted to see how you are." She said softly. "I just miss you Matt, everyday."

"Courtney, please don't." I said. I didn't know what she expected of me? To declare my undying love for her? Tell her I'd made a terrible mistake?

"I can't help it Matt." She said. "I love you."

I closed my eye's, pinching the bridge of my nose. "Courtney, look." I said. "Can't you just leave us alone, move on, let Lana and me be."

Her voice suddenly changed. "How is Lana by the way?" She snapped.

"Lana is fine Courtney." I said sighing. "She's just fine."

She went quiet for a moment. "Did she tell you I came by the other day?" She asked.

Straight away I knew what Lana had been so moody about, why she'd been crying in the bathroom, fucking Courtney.

"No actually she didn't." I said. "Why did you drop by?" I'd really love to fucking know how the bitch found out where we lived.

"She didn't?" She asked and she sound confused. "I just dropped by to say hi to her."

Hi my ass. "Look Courtney, leave us alone okay." I snapped, I'd really had enough of her bullshit, she was doing her best to sabotage my relationship. "Leave Lana alone. I mean it. If you go near her or me again I'm calling the police. I will get a restraining order, do you understand?"

"Matthew don't be ridiculous." She cried.

"No you're being ridiculous." I told her. "I'm with Lana, I love Lana, nothing you do is going to change that fact and I swear if you go anyway near her again Courtney........just stay away from her." And I hung up the phone. I was so done with her shit.

That call put me in a bad mood, that and the fact that Lana didn't call me, I really was hoping that she would call me in her break, but now, well after finding out Courtney had payed her a visit, I could understand why she didn't call me. God only knew what Courtney had told her, but judging by the way Lana had been acting, it wasn't something nice. Now my mood was worse, I was pissed at Courtney for stalking us and I was pissed at Lana for listening to her lies and bullshit. Women, they were fucking hard work.

I tried to watch the rest of the movie but my mood was to bad so I had a shower and climbed into bed, waiting for Lana. When she got home I planned on talking to her. It was like she thought she wasn't good enough for me and that couldn't be any further from the truth, if anything I wasn't good enough for her and she needed to understand that without her I wouldn't be me, she made me who I was.

I laid there and waited for what seemed like hours before finally I heard Lana sneak in. I listened as she went and showered and as she climbed into bed I pulled her into my arms.

I would talk to her in the morning, I could hear the exhaustion in her voice and I knew she needed sleep, so I laid there, kissing her, telling her I loved her until her breathing became regular and she was sleeping.

I pulled her closer to me. Courtney could try all she wanted but I wasn't going to let her come between us, I just wasn't going to let that happen, and hopefully, hopefully Courtney would eventually get the message and if not I'd do what I said, I would get a restraining order.

Eventually I fell asleep with Lana in my arms, but at around 4am something woke me up and I rolled over, Lana wasn't in bed.

I could see the bathroom light was on, then I heard it again, the noise that woke me up. Lana crying. She was in the bathroom crying again.

I threw back the covers and got up, tapping on the door lightly.

"Lana." I said opening the door. "What is wrong?" Now I would make her talk. Enough was enough.

"Oh Matt." She said looking at me with wide eye's, tear stained cheeks. "I think I need to go to the hospital." She looked so scared, and she was shaking.

I went to her and pulled her into my arms. "Why what is it?" I asked her, feeling her shake. "What's wrong?"

She wiped at her face. "I got hit at work tonight and now.....well I really need to go."

She got hit? That alone made me angry.

"Okay." I murmured kissing her forehead. "We can get changed and go. Does it hurt?" Did what hurt,I didn't know, she hadn't really told me what was wrong.

"I don't know." She whispered and she looked so sad.

"It's okay." I murmured, guiding her into the bedroom. "Let's go." And I pulled out some clothes.

I quickly pulled on a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie and watched as Lana grabbed anything pulling it on, still shaking.

I took her hand and led her to the car, all the while listening to her cry.

Maybe she'd broken something, I didn't really know, she really wasn't saying much, not much at all.
