(Hailey's POV)
"I was trying to protect myself."
Matthew opens his eyes and gives me a strange look. He then sits up straight.
"How is that protecting yourself? For 3 weeks long you were on the front page of every newspaper and all the news channels were talking about you. They were planning on putting you in a rehab. For life. Why did you try to protect yourself like that? Why did you have to protect yourself?"
"I don't know."
Truth is I did know. I'm scared to be found. To have to face the real world. To face people. I'm anti-social and an introvert. If I get found people are gonna want to interview me, take pictures of me and know why I live in the woods. But they don't really care about me. All they want is money and I don't want to be used for money.
"Yes you do." Matthew said looking at me straight in the eyes.
"Look Matthe-"
"Call me Matt."
"Okay Matt. It's getting dark. Maybe you should go."
Matt gave me an "are-you-serios?" look.
"Do you really expect me to walk home trough the woods?" He asks.
"In the dark?
"Yeah you're right. You can sleep here."
"Okay Goodnight Hailey."
"Goodnight Matthe-, I mean Matt." I smiled at him and walked to my bed.
I hope I can trust him.
