Learning to love

Chapter 9

* Michael POV*

As we quietly climb down the stairs we here behind the wall next to the stairs

" i told you Matt, if you try anything funny you were gonna get punished." It was Vincent

"You didnt listen and now you suffer the consequences, hehe you really are good for nothing.
Michael was right, all you ever do is play games all day on your gameboy and now when i order you around you think its some kind of game too isnt it? Well if you think that way then i guess its game over for you Matt"

Another gunshot was heard and that was the end of it, i closed my eyes and tried to blink back the tears that were about to spill 'please dont let Matt be dead, please dont let him be dead' he played a huge part in my life and i cant have him slip away.

We stayed still for a few moments and after that Vincent had gone away.
Turning to face a shaking Samantha I gestured for her to follow me, as we revealed ourselves from behind the wall i had to cover my mouth and try to contain my screams of agony from escaping because there against the wall that music notes hung from was Matt just sitting there with his head hung low and three bullet wounds to the stomach, ribs and heart all done by Vincent himself.

I bolted straight to Matt and collapsed right next to him with Samantha coming after me, how could this happen?
I never thought Vincent could do something like this and just kill one of his men, sure her Vincent was ruthless but i had never imagined he would go this far.
Matt did play around a lot but he was young, he had his whole life ahead of him and he was stuck here in this gang because his dad couldnt repay the favor they had done for him and so now Matt lost his life for volunteering to help around here.

I remember when we were younger and still lived back at Wammy's House Orphanage.
I had come back to my room because i forgot my football and as i opened the door a bucket full of water came down and landed on my head.
An amused laughter had echoed from outside the bucket, i took it off and saw a ginger haired boy with freckles and orange goggles giggling.

" ahahahah look at you, you're all wet"

" no way hosay!" I had replied sarcastically

" yeah um... excuse me about that, i got the wrong room cause that wasnt meant for you it was for Hallie, she is next door to you, by the way can i play football with you?"

Back then i was alot more fiesty and didnt have any friends because i thought they werent important.

" why arnt you saying sorry!, its your fault that i got all wet now i have to change!"

"Because im not guilty"

" excuse me!?"

" i don't believe that you should apologise for something you aren't guilty for because that would mean that you acnolage that you did something horribly wrong and are asking for forgiveness,
Isnt that right?"

I had smirked " alright, sure you can play football with me but you have to do as i say for two days"

" deal " and was the moment a new friendship bwtween me and Matt had been born.

I did not realise i had been crying until Samantha put her hand on my shoulder

" i dont think there was anything you could have done, he is in a better place now right?"

Ignoring Samantha's question i neared up to Matts lifeless blue eyes and stared at them

" Matt snap out of it now this is not a game, cut it out this is not funny!,
You need to wake up i cant bare to lose you Matt not now, at least not now!"

My tears spilled out some more, knots were forming in my throat, i shook Matts shoulders hoping he would wake up at but it did nothing but make him bleed more.

" Come back Matt I need you dont you dare leave me now you basted! you are my best friend and your are the only one who understands me the most!
I was wrong Matt im so sorry its all my fault i should have been nicer to you, shouldnt have taken you for granted!.
You aren't good for nothing, you have hacked into the most strongest security systems in the counrty and made our lives easier without getting paid, put up with Vincent longer than i have.
Matt, I should be the one laying there not you!.

At this point i was a crying mess but i didnt care, my best friend died while trying to buy me some time so i could escape with the one i love most and i as his best friend failed to be with him at his final moments.
My hand reached down inside his vest pocket and pulled out his gameboy, seeing that the screen was turned on to the menu of donkey kong, yep that was Matt for you playing games all day.

My hand rose up to his face and shut his eyes.

Goodbye Matt it was a pleasure meeting you, I'm sure i will see you again some day.

~ im crying right now while writing this, im so sorry guys😭.
I hope you can forgive me that i killed off Matt. He was such an awesome character i love him.
I will hope to see you later~
