Ding dong. 

Why would anyone ring the my doorbell so early in the morning. Ding dong. ''Alexis someone is at the door!''

Ding dong. 

I open my eyes half open and think, Alexis isn't home. I groan, walking down the stairs and to the front door. ''What.'' 

''Morning!'' Matt smiles. I open my eyes wide and quickly fix my hair. ''You know it's not like I haven't seen you with your bed head before.'' 

I nod my head as he walks in with his hands behind his back. I furrow my eyebrows and point to his arms, ''Um, are you hiding something?"

''No,'' He trails, turning around, making sure he hides whatever was behind him. ''I got Starbucks!''

''Oh yay,'' I slightly smile, walking up to the food. 

''That was a pretty dull reaction,'' Matt mentions in a dull face. I nod my head as if he was asking a question and open the bag to smell a croissant egg and cheese with a hint of ham. I only know this because I get it all the time. 

''I thought you would be excited,'' Matt smile fades as he walks up to me. 

''I'm not Alexis,'' I say with my mouth full of this breakfast sandwich. This is so good. 

Matt pouts his lips and stares at me. I look up and continue eating. ''Why are you here.'' 

''I don't know, I thought you might wanna hang out today?'' Matt says as a question. 

''Matt,'' I trail, groaning. ''I'm so tired from yesterday.'' 

''We were just walking!'' Matt raises his hands, playfully. 

''Exactly,'' I point out. I finish up my sandwich and clean up my mess, looking at the stove for the time. 11:00a.m.

''Oh and about yesterday,'' Matt trails. I turn around to face him and smile at the fact he was nervous since he was scratching his neck. ''I really enjoyed it and like you said. I missed it too. I missed it all. I miss us.'' 

I take a deep breath and smile at him. For the long while that I wasn't sane, I knew Matt didn't want me back. Trying out therapy and transitioning back to the teenage girl I was really changed me. The only reason why I did that was because I wanted him. I had to try to get him back.

''When I first saw you at the house, in all honesty, I wanted nothing to do with you,'' Matt tightens his hands closed. ''But at the same time, I was relieved that you were okay. You were safe. I had mixed emotions. I got rid of the relief by remembering what you did to me. You left me and I was looking all over for you. When the police dropped the case, I couldn't help but know it was pretty impossible to find you.'' 

''Matt,'' I trail until he stops me. 

''No, I'm not done,'' He walks up closer to me. ''I knew that I had to trust you and let you go. What killed me the most was that I wasn't there for you. So I distracted myself. Just know that I am so sorry.'' 

I look down at my black socks as a tear drops on my cheek. I quickly wipe it away as Matt mumbles, ''Look at me.'' 

''I will always be here for you. I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you. I'm going to protect you so you'll feel safe. If you don't feel safe, just tell me.'' He walks closer to me, making me feel his breath on my neck. ''I'll make you feel safe.'' 

I couldn't be anymore grateful right now. My lips... They're craving his. I look at Matt's hazel eyes that became more lighter at this moment. It was a soft color for his soft side. I look down to his lips. His plump pink lips. I love everything about this boy. I don't even think he is a boy any more. We are both twenty now. He's changed. His structure has changed, but that's okay because I still love him. His perfectly curved nose to his messy dirty blonde hair. 

I place my hands on his cheeks slowly and kiss him passionately. He kisses me back, but harder as he tightens his grips on my waist as if I was leaving. 

It's okay Matt, I'll never leave your side. I'll always be here for you.
