Tell Me A Lie In A Beautiful Way (Avenged Sevenfold)

Chapter 14

Matt's POV

 I pulled up out the front of Kat's apartment, parking my car and getting out. I was a little excited to see her, seeing as though I hadn't seen much of her for the past week. She's started a new job and she seemed to be working all the time, but tonight, well tonight we were going to catch a movie and then come back to her place. I would probably end up staying the night, but that wasn't a problem, actually I was hoping I was staying the night, I'd missed seeing her and I wanted to spend what time we could together.

I walked to the front door and pressed the buzzer.

"Yeah come in." Kat's voice said over the speaker and I frowned, opening the door as she buzzed me in.

I ran up the stairs, well because I was a little excited, and there she was, standing at the door waiting for me.

"You did it again." I said to her, approaching the door.

"What?" She asked frowning at me.

"You just buzzed me in." I told her. "You didn't even ask who it was." And she had a bad habit of that.

"Oh for gad sake Matt." She snapped. "I knew it was you."

"Yeah but what if it wasn't me?" I asked her, frowning.

"Well I guess I'd be fucking dead then." She snapped back at me. "And it's nice to fucking see you too."

I stepped inside and closed the door, looking at her. She looked tired, really tired, a little pissed off but beautiful.

"Well." I said reaching out and pulling her to my chest. "It's very nice to see you." I murmured. "How are you?"

"Tired." She mumbled, burying her face in my chest and wrapping her arm's around my waist.

"We don't have to go out you know." I murmured, pulling back and looking down at her. "We can just stay here if you want." And I would have preferred that, laying on the couch together, watching a movie.

"No." She said looking up at me. "I want to get out, all I've done is work and I want to do something."

"Okay." I murmured and then I did what I wanted to do from the moment I saw her, I leant down and kissed her softly. "Are you ready?" I murmured against her lips.

"Yep." She said and I watched her grab her purse. "You staying tonight?" She asked me, closing the door after us.

I shrugged. "Probably."

"Probably, what the fuck does that mean?" She snapped, stomping down the stairs and it was at that moment I realised that if Kat was tired she had no sense of humour and she was a little cranky.

"It means yes Kat okay." I said softly as we walked outside.

"Okay." She mumbled, walking to the car.

"So are you sure you want to see a horror movie?" I asked her as we drove to the movie theatre. She had her hand resting on my knee and I put my hand over the top of hers.

"Yes." She snapped. "I won't get scared so I won't fucking touch you and I'll buy my own fucking popcorn."

I rolled my eye's, yep she was in a bad mood. "Kat." I mumbled. "That's not necessary."

"It's fine." She mumbled and then she was silent for the rest of the trip.

I parked the car and she glanced at me before getting out and waiting for me. We walked into the theatre and brought our tickets.

I made my way over to get a drink and some popcorn with Kat standing beside me, fidgeting and just generally looking a little miserable.

"Kat." Someone suddenly called and I looked up to see some slick looking asshole rushing over towards us. "God look at you." He yelled and then he picked her up off her feet, hugging her hard.

"Oh my god, what are you doing here?" Kat cried, wrapping her arm's around his neck.

"I'm just here for the weekend." He told her, placing her back on her feet. "So what are you seeing?" He asked her, glancing at me.

"That new horror." She said smiling widely. "Oh, sorry." She said glancing at me. "Brandon, this is Matt."

"Hey." He said smiling and holding out his hand. "Nice to meet you."

I shook his hand. "You too." Although it wasn't nice to meet him, he seemed a little bit too friendly with Kat.

"So." He said smiling at Kat. "Are you coming back with me?"

"Um." I mumbled. "Coming with you to where?" Had they been making plans?

"New York." He said smiling at me. "I'm trying to convince Kat to move over with me." And he grabbed her around the waist, pulling her close. "I thought that last night we were together might have worked."

Kat giggled. "Don't be stupid."

"Oh." I said looking at them and they looked so fucking cosy. "What night was this?"

"About two months ago." Brandon said. "I took her out, romanced her, kissed her and she still knocked me back."

I frowned. Two months ago? Kat was out on a date kissing someone else two months ago?

"Well, keep trying." I muttered turning around and ordering my popcorn and drink, ignoring their existence.

I paid for it and turned around. "Better go, don't want to miss the start." I muttered watching him fawn all over her again as he said goodbye.

I walked into the movie theatre, not particularly caring if Kat was following me or not and I sat down. She sat down next me and fidgeted around getting comfortable.

"Can I have some?" She whispered to me as the lights started dimming.

I moved my popcorn away from her. "You should have gotten your own." I snapped at her, ramming a handful in my mouth.

Two months ago, two months ago Kat and I had been on a double date and we'd had dinner two months ago and here she was seeing Mr Slick on the side.

I glanced at her out the corner of my eye. She didn't look like a cheater, but he'd said himself he'd taken her for dinner, romanced her and kissed her and she sure as fuck didn't deny it.

I sat there, getting mad, mad at Kat. She kept it from me, she never said a word about a date with him, not one fucking word.

By the time the movie finished, which by the way I had no fucking idea what it was even about, I was fucking fuming. How dare she? How dare she date other people.

I walked to the car and got in, not saying a word as Kat got in, doing up her seatbelt and yawning.

"I'm tired." She murmured, but I ignored her, driving straight to her place.

I pulled up out the front of her place and sat there, leaving the car running.

"Are you coming in?" She asked undoing her seatbelt and looking at me.

"No actually." I snapped. "I'm not."

"What?" She asked me frowning and she looked surprised, fucking surprised.

"What do you mean what." I snapped, glaring at her. "I found out tonight you've been dating other people, so no Katelyn I'm not coming inside."

"What?" She said again.

"Get out of my fucking car." I growled at her. "You lied." And she did, well not really, she just never mentioned it.

"Matt." She started, but I cut her off.

"Get out." I yelled and just the sight of her made me so mad.

She opened the car door and she got out, not saying a word.

I didn't wait for her to get to her door, I just drove away from her and if I ever saw her again it would be too soon.
