Because of You

Because of You-10- ENDING! READ A/N!

THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER AND THE ALTERNATIVE ENDING TO THE OTHER ONE!

--------

I stepped onto the rusty, abandoned pier, my jacket crinkling in the wind. My heart races as I start nearing the end, and I look from the musty, brown wood, to the grey, heartless sky. My pace quickens, I want to get this over with, before anyone notices me. The sea is ruthless, and unforgiving, the perfect place. I take off my jacket, and immediately the frost bitten winter air nips at my skin. Placing the jacket down behind me, I mutter mlahrst words.

"My life is about to end, because of You."

Braced myself, and...

"CHARLIE! WAIT! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?" An angry looking Matt yelled, lifting me off my feet.

"Matt! Argh! You know this is want I need! I need to see my family again! Please Matt! No one will notice, just please don't bring me back into this world, I was so close to escaping my life forever!" I wailed, hitting him, but to no avail.

"No Charlie. You're coming back to mine, and don't you EVER try that again!" he said, sternly, but when I faced him, I noticed he had tears in his eyes, what the fuck? I sighed, knowing there was no way in hell that he was going to let me do it, the final leap, to my parents. Nope. I stopped struggling, and just let his strong arms carry me back to his house. How did he even find me here? Seriously?

Once we were inside he plopped me down on a nice, but not posh, sofa. I slumped into it but my eyes widened dramatically when I saw five pairs of eyes (excluding Matt's) on me. I shifted, uncomfortably, and looked at Matt, expectantly, as did (what I'm assuming) were his family.

"Oh, right. Well, this is Charlie, and..." he was cut off by a boy who looked around ten.

"Not another one of those sluts you date!" he rolled his eyes, "I'm out of here!" he got up to leave, but the woman shook her head and motioned for Matt to continue.

"ANYWAY, she umm... I'll explain later, but she's going to have to stay with us, she doesn't have anywhere to go, where she can be happy," he explained, trying to avoid upsetting me, cute,

"Well Charlie, this is my Mother, Anne," he motioned to the short, plump, stereotypical looking Mother figure in front of me,

"My Father, John," a tall, handsome man, with brown hair and a bit of stubble on his chin.

"My brother, Aaron," the one from before, looks very much like Matt with the floppy, dark hair, and built body, although Aaron doesn't have a six pack!

"My other brother, Ethan," again, he looked similar to Matt, about six, I'd say.

"And finally, Rosie, my two year old sister!" He concluded,, proudly.

Wow! What a family, not broken, like mine. I smiled at them, weakly, and rolled my eyes when they all waved.

"Alright, well, Matt will explain the details later, but for now, let me get you a mug of tea, you're looking off colour dear!" Anne explained, smiling warmly.

We'd been in the living room, making small talk, for about an hour, and Matt was showing me into the guest bedroom. Surprisingly, he bolted it behind us, and sat us both down on the bed, gripping my wrist, tightly.

"M...Ma....Matt?" I stuttered, my heart pounding.

"I have something to tell you, and I really hope we can still be friends. I tried to stop him, I really did, but I was there when Nate killed your parents, I held you back, forced you to watch your parents die, I located your house, I didn't want to... He made me... If you knew him the way I do, you'd understand my position.... I'm so, so sorry." he said. Wait... What? He.. He killed my parents! Mu... Murderer!

"Y...YOU!" I yelled, but he put his hand over my mouth and muffled my cries.

"I said, I didn't want to. Nate, the one who DID kill them, he blackmailed me, on a huge scale. I was the one who stopped him killing YOU!" he whispered, forcing me to look at him. My heart melted as I looked into his chocolate brown eyes, holding so many different emotions, regret, fear, hope, sadness, all these things, swirled into those captivating eyes. I couldn't tear myself away, I leaned closer, and so did he, until our lips met.

It literally felt like fireworks, and the adrenaline, the heartache, everything made that moment so memorable, so special. Our lips moved perfectly together, it was one of the best moments in my entire life, from the day I was born...

*Epilogue*

That was ten years ago, and I'm happy to say, Matt and I are engaged, at twenty four. I never cut after that kiss, and lived happily with the family. Rosie's twelve now, that went fast!

I forgave Matt, and we're planning on having our wedding on my parents wedding anniversary, to show they haven't been forgotten.

I never saw Ryan again, thank god, jerk! All of the stuff from my old house was sold, excluding special items, and pictures.

I love Matt to death, and am so unbelievably glad I went into school that day. Life's changed, it takes so many turns at unexpected moments.

Whilst you could say I had a happy ending, I went through a lot. Some people do have straight forward, happy lives, but you can never be sure it's going to be yours.

Just remember. There's no time for sadness, and unforgiveness. Live each second as if it were your last, things could take a turn for the worst and you won't even get a chance to say goodbye.
