Two lives one world (Sequel to the Rock Star Prince)

Chapter 8- Falling off the Wagon

Anna’s POV

To say that the next couple of days where rocky was an understatement. Mathew and I got into at least one fight a day, that resulted in me sobbing and him feeling even worst then he had before. But then there were times that actually did okay, we could handle being around each other and being somewhat pleasant. The only time Matt’s eyes became stormy was when I brought Ben up. Which was understandable, yet it didn’t change the way I felt, I only felt a little smug.

What really was good though was Matt’s appearance. Already he seemed healthier then he did when I found him. His skin was no longer that scary waxy color and he didn’t look quit as thin. His hair had grown back just enough that the sharp cut lines that had been there from the razor were softer now. It was nice to say that he was starting to look like the Matt that I knew and loved.

I mean once loved….

It was hard, every time we would get into a fight and then make-up he would pull me into his embrace and I couldn’t help but melt into him the second he did. It was wrong, he had cheated on me, I should be hating him with a passion, and most of the time I did, but when he did that I couldn’t help but cling on to him tightly and wish that I never had to let go.

So it made me want to push him away even more.

“And where are you going?” My mom asked one afternoon as i came into the kitchen dressed in a pair of denim shorts and a black tank top. The Texas heat had turned my skin light golden brown which made me hair seem an even darker shade of red. Right now it was pulled up into a high pony tail and I had my purse and sun glasses in hand.

“Ben and I are going out” I said “Don’t wait up okay?”

My mom crossed her arms over her chest and looked at me with a pointed look.

“What?” I asked

“Are you seriously leaving?” She asked

“Um, yes?” I said , shifting my purse on my shoulder

“Anna, the point of you being here is to help Mathew get better. Not to run off with some boy you have just met”

I glared at my mother

“Hes a big boy” I said “I think he can live one night without me”

“Really?” My mom replied “The boy has spent a whole year trying to kill himself because he didn’t think he could live without you. Do you really think leaving so soon is a good idea?”

I knew she was probably right. That even though he appeared to be so strong I knew that Matt was not strong enough to be abandoned yet. That I should stand by him, but why should I? when so many months ago he failed to stand by me?

“Goodbye mother” I said before grabbing my keys and heading for the front door.

As I walked to my car in the sunny afternoon I looked up at the window to the piano room. I paused for a moment when I saw Matt standing in the window, a blank expression on his face. A pang of guilt hit me but I pushed it aside.

At Ben’s house I found myself dangling my feet in the pool in his back yard. I hadn’t spent much time just relaxing since I had returned to Texas so I was relishing the warm sun and cool water on my skin.

Tilting my head up to the sky I was greeted by a kiss on my lips. I opened my eyes a giggled, finding Ben standing above me, holding two glasses of iced tea in his hands.

“Enjoying the water?” He asked

I smiled as he sat down next to me

“Very much” I said, taking the glass from him “Thank you”
