Monday, two days later;

Last night I decided I wanted to send the painting off to France, wanting my Aunt to have it. It's nice memory of my mum, and something for her to remind her sister of. I snuck back into the house, the time roughly being around six am. I silently closed the door and turned around, the lights suddenly flickering on as my dad appeared. I cursed under my breath and felt my body drop, his eyes digging into me.

"Where did you go at four in the morning?" Dad crossed his arms as he slowly stepped towards me. I slowly licked my lips and looked down, "I had to send a gift off to someone."

"On a Monday?" He threw his arms up into the air. "It doesn't matter. I wasn't sleeping anyways. I just went for a walk at four and then went for a ride, then sent off a little gift," I walked past him hoping he would let it slide.

But he grabbed onto my arm and pulled me back to him, our faces coming face to face. 

"You're grounded for a week," Dad's voice went low. "But I have football trainings after school," I whined. "I don't care. You come straight home after football," Dad let go of my arm and slightly pushed me forward. 

I rolled my eyes and ran off upstairs, soon going into my bedroom and slamming the door shut. I went over to my bed and picked up my phone, wanting to text Matt. 

To; Matt,

From; Maddie.

Guess who's grounded...

To; Maddie,

From; Matt.

You? 😂

I rolled my eyes and slightly smiled.

To; Matt,

From; Maddie.

It's your fault. I shouldn't of gone to your house...

Yes I went to Matt's house, but I did send the painting off. I can't resit Matt sometimes, especially this morning. But it's hard when you have to be quiet, but it makes the moment even special. 

To; Maddie,

From; Matt.

Hey! As long as you had a good time, then that's all that matters 😏

I chuckled and grinned.

To; Matt,

From; Maddie. 

I did. I'll see you later at school x

To; Maddie,

From; Matt.

See yeah little one 😍

I blushed and turned off my phone, soon looking up at my ceiling. Then out of the blue, I heard someone banging on my door causing me to huff. I got up from my bed and walked over to my door, soon opening it up to be hit in the face. 

"Ow!" I immediately held my nose. "Sorry!" I felt Hayes' hand upon mine. 

"Why are you banging on my door?" I furrowed my eyebrows. Hayes bit onto his lip and blushed soon taking his hand from mine, "I have some news."
