New Love | Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 50,

Tuesday, a day later;

"I have something to tell you," Sammy said as he approached me at the table top. 

I slowed down my chewing and furrowed my eyebrows, slowly putting the spoon back into the pool of milk. I swallowed the remains in my mouth, soon folding my arms upon the table top. 

"What is it?" I weakly asked; as the day hit me. "I broke up with Courtney," He smiled as my eyebrows soon raised an a smile was planted upon my lips. 

"Good. She doesn't deserve you," I pushed the bowl in front of me and smiled. "Who does then?" Sammy slowly raised an eyebrow. 

"Not Courtney," I chuckled as I hopped off of the stool. "So when you get ready, we heading off?" Sammy asked as he pushed himself off of the counter. 

"Yep," I nodded as I started to walk off to the staircase. "I'll be down here," Sammy muttered as I nodded. 

Once I had a shower, once I brushed my teeth, I walked over to my suitcase to see my options of what to wear. I scanned through the clothes and tried to find something that would be comfortable, but appropriate for the prison. 

I find some jeans alongside a plain top, with a plain black jacket. I didn't want to dress up for her, she didn't deserve my effect. I placed the items along my body and walked over to the mirror, soon placing my messy hair into a bun. 

Everything will be fine, everything will be fine.

"Hello gorgeous," Lily's voice spoke throughout the room. 

I smiled to myself and looked around, not seeing her. I looked again and saw her sitting down on the edge of the end, smiling like she was hiding something awful. 

"Hello," I walked towards her. "Remember I'm with you," She said. 

"Thanks, I'll need it for today," I sighed as I rubbed my sweaty palms along my thighs. "You'll be fine. Just remember to smile, be kind, and make sure you give Lindsey a hug," She said causing my eyes to roll. 

"What if I don't want to look at her?" I asked. "Well-," Lily begun. 

"Hurry up! We're going now," Sammy yelled causing Lily and I to look towards the door. "Coming!" I yelled back.

I met Sammy downstairs, soon getting into the car where I buckled myself in and felt my whole body shake non-stop. For some odd reason, I have this bad feeling in my gut. I gulped and tried to get rid of it, but it wasn't disappearing. I picked up my phone and quickly messaged Matt, feeling the car move forward. 

As we were making way to the prison, Sammy tried talking to me to distract me, but I had to tell him to shut up because I was just not in the mood. After a little while, we shortly arrived just as I received a text from Matt. I ignored his text and jumped out of the car, soon walking towards Sammy. 

Our hands intertwined as I flashed a nervous smile, my heart beat beating through my fingertips. I didn't want to let go of his hand, I was too afraid. We walked into the building, soon walking up to the front desk. I felt my air trap itself inside of my throat, as security guards were everywhere. 

"Hi I'm here to see-," I begun but got cut off by a doctor storming over to the lady. "You need to tell Madison Grier that her mother has unfortunately passed away," The doctor said to the lady; his face white as snow. 

I slightly fell back, loosing my balance. Sammy luckily caught me as he glued me still, trying to calm me down. Suddenly, everything disappeared out of my sight. I could only see my thoughts, which haunted me already. What is going on?
