It's been two weeks, and school has officially started again. Matt being the boy he is, let's his inner 'caveman' show. He drove me too school, and immediately went into protective mode. Like I hadn't kicked his friend's ass a few months ago more than once.
As I walk out of my math class I feel arms wrap themselves around me and immediately I bring my elbow back and hit them in the gut. The arms drop and I step back and spin around. "Shit! Babe, I'm so sorry." I say looking down at Matt on the floor holding his mid abdomen.
"It.. It's okay." He says choking out the words.
"Baby are you okay?" I whisper Fucking ass, I love him but my PTSD is a little to developed for him to do Shit like that.
"Yes. But, you may have broken a rib or two." He jokes starting to stand.
"Come on, I'll take you to the nurse and get you some ice." I say softly.
As we slowly walk he makes shallow hissing sounds indicating his current state of pain. Such a drama queen..
"Babe, do you want me to kiss it better?" I say jokingly in attempt to lighten the mood.
But what I don't expect is, "no, but there is something else you could kiss that would make me feel better." He wags his eyebrows in a suggestive matter.
"Mathew!" I shriek. I was about to smack him when I remembered his ribs.
"Come on princess, it was a joke." He says wrapping an arm around my waist.
As we walk into the nurses office a short dark skinned girl looks up at us with a warm smile and blue braces.
"Hi I'm Amyela! I'm holding down the fort here for Mrs. Trijio!" She says the last part in some goofy southern accent.
"Um hi, can we get some ice please?" I say in my best sweet voice.
"Yerpie derp!" She walks out of the room and returns with a bag if ice, and wraps it in a paper towel.
"Thanks dude." Matt says holding the ice to his abs.
She just nods writing down his name and what he came in for.
As we start to walk out I call out to her, "see you around Amyela" she just smiles and nods.
As Matt and I walk out to his car to so we can head out to lunch, he stops mid stride when someone behind us yells.
"Hey Izzy! Nice ass!" I turn around only to see someone I thought I'd left behind forever...
"Alex?!" I sprint towards my child hood friend. When I reach him I throw myself into his arms, tears streaming down my cheeks.
"Hey short stack." Is all he says hugging me tightly.
"Ahem!" Shit, I almost forgot about Matt.
"Matt, this is Alex, my best friend from Oregon. Alex this is my boyfriend Matt." I say wiping the tears. Matt's face slightly smooths out at the word boyfriend but not by much.
"Nice to meet you bro." Matt says pretending to be cool. At least he tried
"Wasssah dude!" Alex says like the California boy he is.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in Oregon?" I ask still a little watery eyed.
"Oh you know, chillen, I got adopted by some nice family here in junction."
Excitement fills my heart as I hug him again, "I missed you soo much buddy!" I exclaim. He laughs at my child like joy our encounter is short but sweet as I exchange numbers with him.
As Matt and I walk away he wraps his arm tightly around my waist, "I'm not sharing you this weekend, you know this right." His voice dropped like to octaves as he said this.
"Of course baby, just you and me." I say sweetly leaning into his shoulder.
"Isn't that part of a song? Like a really popular older song?" He asks poking me in the side.
"Yup sure is." I leave his side only to walk over to the passenger side and getting in.
"You're so cute." He says winking at me. The urge to punch him is strong but I manage. I'm not cute. Crazy and a little deranged maybe. But not cute.
