twenty-two:
[special chapter: the meet up part two]

It seemed as though time had slowed down. Like everything was going in slow motion.

You know in movies when the person meets their one true love, and it just goes slow motion as they ran into each other's arms and kissed in the rain? This was it; minus the kissing, the rain, and the 'one true love.'

Matt stood there shocked by the doorway, not believing that the girl he had been talking to for the past 4 months was standing infront of him.

"The one and only." I finally replied, after what seemed like hours of staring at each other.

And as soon as I spoke, time suddenly sped up. Matt came rushing towards me, forgetting the bags of food that he had dropped and his precious kinder eggs, forgetting that any one else other than the both of us were there, and just picked me up by my waist as though I weighed nothing.

I've never hugged anyone harder in my life, with both my legs and arms wrapped around him, head buried in his neck, his large arms around my waist, supporting me, hugging me; I've never felt more content, more happier.

"I can't believe this is happening." He mumbled into the burrow of my neck. "You're actually here."

I chuckled as he set me back down after what seemed like hours, but in reality, it was only minutes. As I stood infront of him, staring at him and only him, forgetting the presence of anything else, I took in his features, his details, his everything. He was beautiful. And here I thought that he couldn't get any hotter than what I saw on my computer screen, but in person, he was honestly mesmerising. His eyes, his cheekbones, his lips, everything about him was perfect, better than I had ever hoped.

"I'm fucking crying, I think I'm going to have a heart attack."

Harry's words broke Matt's and I's gaze, reminding us of the fact that we were not alone, but instead, everyone was standing in their directed positions, phones in hand, looks of mixed and unknown emotions plastered on their faces, except for Harry and Alberto, who looked like they were about to die.

  "Help, I've fallen and I can't get up." He panted dramatically, hunched on the floor with a hand clutching his heart. 

  Emeraude patted his back sympathetically, muttering, "Harry, it's okay, we know they're cute as fuck, but we need to get through this."

  I smiled sheepishly at them all, who were staring back at the both of us with wide grins.

  "That was beautiful guys." Alberto said, wiping a fake tear from his eye.

  Kat rolled her eyes and turned back to me. "So, how do you feel?"

  I let out a shaky breath, wiping my sweaty palms against my dress. "Honestly, I'm sorta fangirling inside because I'm with you all."

  Matt chuckled at that, before pulling me into another hug and kissing me on the head. My cheeks heated up dramatically and my heart began to thump wildly.

  "And that my friends," Dom started off. "Is maria becoming so fucking real."

  "You know guys," I started as I grabbed a can of Coke, popping it open. "I haven't seen the new shadowhunters episode yet."

  Alberto gasped as I felt something soft hit my head. "You fake fan!"

  I scrunched my nose in confusion. "Did you just throw a pillow at me?"
