Lia's POV

I chuckled when I heard him rehearsing causing him to turn around.

"Hey you made it." Matthew said while smiling

I laughed.

"You know, I'm not one to back out of things."

"How could I forget? We used to be together."

I cleared my throat awkwardly while taking a seat next to Matthew.

"So, what do you wanna talk about?" I said while smiling nervously

Why the hell am I nervous?

He cleared his throat.

"I wanted to discuss where our relationship is going..."

I widened my eyes

"M-Matthew I don't-" I cut myself off

Does he mean be his friend, or be his girlfriend?

Should I ask him what he means?

Why the hell not?

"Umm do you mean as in friend or as in girlfriend?"

I'm not completely sure if I want to be in a relationship with him again.

Matthew looked down and thought for a moment then looked back up to face me

"To be honest Lia, I want you to be mine again..."

WHAT?!

"You want me to be yours...again?" I say mostly to myself

IS HE CRAZY? I don't really know what to say. I'm not even sure if I forgive him yet and he wants me to be his again?

"Lia please...you don't know what I wanted to do when I found out you were kidnapped..."

I looked at Matthew with concern once his face filled up with hurt

He wanted to cheat on you, that's what he wanted to do.

Shut up brain!

"Please Lia?" Matthew said while cutting my thoughts off

"I-" I sighed

I didn't know what to tell him.

"Lia at least tell me you'll think about it...please?" He said while sounding desperate

I closed my eyes

"I'll think about it ok?"

Matthew's face instantly lit up

"Thank you!" He said while giving me a bear hug

I could feel someone's gaze on me but I ignored it and smiled slightly. We are in public anyways. I backed away from his touch.

"Now, I really need to head back to my house. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye Matthew."

Matthew smiled

"Goodbye beautiful." He yelled as I started to walk away

I smiled.

He still thought I was beautiful.

Could I really trust him? How would I know if all of this could be a complete lie?
