What happened to my old perfect life?

Chapter 3

"Samantha? Are you okay?" the person asked me once again.

"Yeah, I'm fine and you?" I answered him back holding the tears.

"Sam, don't lie to me, I've known you more than 12 years and besides when someone is crying they aren't okay! I'm not that much of an idiot I know you well, Sam. Now tell me, what is wrong?" He told me as he pulled me for a hug. 

"I'm sorry Matt, but I can't tell you." I told him, I couldn't tell him that I was feeling sorry for myself. I never showed my sensitive side to anyone and I'm definitely not going to. 

"Sam, it's ok, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to, I understand. From everything that you passed through I don't want to make you any pressure, but if you need me, I'm here for you!" He told me in a soft voice. 

Matt and I were great friends we used to call each other everyday and when I came here he came with me after a year. He didn't have enough money so he worked extra so that he'll come here with me. We got to know each other at the age of 8. Everything started from a tear..

*Flashback*

"Water is getting out of your eye!" Matt told me as he was pointing at my eye. I was at the beach, which was only a few blocks away from where I lived. I was building a sand castle, but it fell and I was crying.

"No, it isn't. Water stays in the sea or in water bottles! It doesn't go in the eyes!" I defended myself

"But your eyes are wet," he pointed out. 

"My castle just fell." 

"So water is coming out?" he asked confused.

I nodded."Will you help me build another castle?" 

"If you'll tell me why water is coming out of your eyes, I will!" He told me while smiling at me.

*End of flashback*

And from that day we became acquaintances. After hugging each other I asked him, "So what are you doing here?" 

"Well I came to visit my friend," he told me "And I was even wondering if she will hang out with me tonight , don't worry it is not a date, just as friends," he winked at me. 

I know that this morning I said that winking leads to flirting and it then leads to dates/love but it's not the same with Matt, even though he had a crush on me, but I had always told him that I like him as a friend only and that's how we are friends only. And anyway now, in the life that I'm living I definitely don't want relationships those are something that I don't do nowadays!

"Sure, but were are we going?" 

"I'll tell you tonight," he said abruptly. "I'll pick you up at 7, okay?"

"And what if I don't like the place where you are taking me?" I teased him.

"That will be okay, because I'm sure that it will help you," he shrugged.

"Help me with what?" I asked him.

"You'll see tonight," he told me. "Now I better go because I've got work to do. See you tonight."

"See you," I replied and he left.

At 7 sharp, the familiar horn was honking. I walked down the stairs and I saw Matt waiting for me in his car. Hopping in, he turned on the engine.

"So you're going to tell me where we're going?" I broke the silence.

"Nope," he said shortly.

"Why not?" I whined.

"Because we arrived," he answered me and turned off the engine.

"Now that was a short trip," I commented. He nodded and looked at where I guess is the place we're going to. I glanced up to see where he was pointing with his head towards to and I saw the place I thought I would never go in it again!

"Matt, what are we doing here?" I asked him in surprise.

"I told you, I'm going to help!" He smirked at me and got out of the car.

"By coming here?!" I gasped at him.
