He's Mr. Cinderella

Chapter 27

First of all, I want to say sorry for taking forever to update. :( I got really caught up with reading something which is btw, the fifty shades trilogy. OMG! :''> I've already finished the book and I'm still in the hangover stage. I'm freaking inlove with Christian Grey. Anw, going back, I really hope you'll be satisfied with this one. Since it's very hard to write. :)

"Hi Sab, you look.." matt trailed off"far from fine." he run his hand through his hair looking quite disappointed as he tried to lighten my mood.

I took the seat opposite to both Mandy and Matt. I looked at Mandy and she offered me a reassuring smile but I just ignored it. 

"Wow, you know how to state the obvious Matt." Matt gave me a sad smile which made me felt a little guilty for what I've said but they can't blame me. 

"So what's up?" matt tried to start a conversation again but I'm really not in the mood with this how-are-you-doing-are-you-okay-we-got-your-back kind of things. I want some answers and I'm persistent to get them now,

"Oh cut the crap Matt, you know what's up. Now why don't you tell me?" matt opened his mouth like he was about to say something but closed it immediately and instead he just took a deep breathe.

None of us dared to talk. We just sat there for about 2-3 minutes baring the deafening silence until I can't take anymore of this crap. I'm mad, hell I'm really mad.

"So?!" Mandy glanced at Matt and gave him a reassuring squeeze then I saw him nod at her.

before speaking matt offered me another smile but I just raised an eyebrow at him asking what i came here for.

"We know Avan's your mystery guy." he muttered. 

"Why am I not surprise anymore?" i asked sardonically. I was about to say something more when matt cut me off "Look Sab, here me out first. No interruptions until i've explained everything and after then you can throw me any shit you pleased." matt look straight into my eyes and for a minute or two I was examining if I should agree to whatever he's saying. 

"Explain Now." i commanded and he just nod.

"We knew it was him since the day you've decided to sing for him at the lunch room" 

"Then why didn--" he cut me off raising his hands at me "Sab, you said you'll let me finish?" i rolled my eyes at him and just took a deep breath letting him continue.

"He said he wanted you to like him for the real him. Not because you pity him about the story he told you. He was also scared that maybe that night when you guys met, you just fall inlove with the whole scenario not with him perse" he stopped for breathe

"he did told me that" I justified him then he continued again "Sab, I've been Avan's friend for God knows how long and I've seen him suffer with .. you know who." he emphasized that the girl he was talking about was the girl who broke Avan's heart.

"Your point Matt?" 

"The reason why we, personally, I, didn't tell you was that I understand him. He's scared to go through it all over again. He can't bare to go through it all again. I saw him get crashed and fall Sab. It was so hard for him to stand once more having no one in his side." oh poor Avan.. my Avan. how could I not consider all of this? I'm being selfish. 

"He has nothing more to lose except for his own sanity Sab. He begged me not to tell you. I wanted to Sab, considering you're the best friend of my precious woman and not to mention you're my friend as well and we've grown to be really close. Hell, if it wasn't for you, Mandy and I will not be together" well, that's quite right. i can feel my inner goddess jumping up and down knowing I'm responsible for my friends oh-so-almost-perfect-imperfectly relationship.
