My Little Nerd

29 - Coldplay ruins your emotions sometimes

A/n: People prepare yourselves.

~ Rosemary's P.o.v ~

" Okay. What is it?" I ask Matt.

" Can we go somewhere a bit more private?" Matt asked, running his hand through his hair.

I nod and we walk out to the front of the hotel. I rub my arms as we sit on the bench outside. Matt takes off his blazer and puts it over my shoulder.

" Thanks. So what do you need to tell me?" I tell him.

"Let me start from the beginning. You see before we started dating my mom had gotten a job offer. She never really decided if she wanted it or not. This requires us to move, though. She had many months to think it over until today she accepted the offer. So that means I am moving to the widely known New York City," Matt explains.

" Oh. That's a lot to take in. When are you moving?" I ask him.

" I'm moving before we graduate, so in about three or four weeks," Matt sighs.

" New York is pretty far," I mumble.

" Yeah it is. I would stay here in California, but I am not exactly old enough to just live on my own. Plus my mom said her company offered scholarships for a university there. It will help me learn more about music and so many other things," Matt tells me.

" That's great Matt," I smile.

" The thing is we will be miles apart. New York is literally across the state," Matt mumbled.

" What does that mean for us," I ask, staring at the falling white fluffs.

" Honestly I don't know. I love you Rosemary, but I can't give up my dream. A majority of long distance relationships don't last," Matt sighs.

" The fact that we would also be in college which is time-consuming," I mumble.

" Maybe we should break up," Matt thinks out loud.

" A break up on prom? That's a bit harsh," I mumble to myself.

" Rosemary it's not that I want to break up with you, I just think it's for the best. We would miss each other too much when I leave. It would make it easier for us," Matt explains.

" I guess you're right. I mean if it's meant to be we will just find each other again," I sigh.

" Rosemary just remember that I love you and I'll find a way to put us back together. Even it's just us being friends," He tells me, grabbing the side of my cheek. Matt places a kiss on my forehead and stands up," come on let's make it better by dancing."

I smile at him and nod, grabbing his hand. We run inside and dance with everyone. We waltz, jive and swing to random songs.

" I'm gonna go get us some water," Matt yells over the music.
I nod and walk to a table. I sit down and pull out my phone scrolling through it.

~ Matt's P.o.v ~

I walk to the snack and drink table. I pour water for both Rosemary and I. I look across the room and see Rosemary on her phone. I sigh to myself and drink my water.
Maybe I shouldn't have broken up with her. She's so beautiful and generally amazing. Kat is going to kill me. Suddenly someone bumps into me, causing me to almost dropping the water.

" Watch where you're going," I hear a voice spat. I look at the person and see Drew.

" Maybe you should," I spat back.

" Quit talking and go back to that nerd girlfriend of yours, geek," Drew growls.

" She's not my girlfriend and I'm not a geek you brain dead jock," I growl back.

" Really she's not your girlfriend. Explain the kissing, the laughing, holding hands. Oh wait is she a sl-" Drew begins to taunt.

" Don't you dare call her that," I warn, walking off.

I bring the water to the table Rosemary was sitting at and set it down, sitting down as well. I look up at Rosemary and see her staring at her water.

" What's wrong," I ask.

" Nothing. I don't wanna ruin prom for you. Go out and dance. I just need some time to myself," Rosemary mumbles.

I reach out for her hand and slightly hold it.

" Rosemary you're not going to ruin prom for me. You're amazing to be around. You make everyone in the group smile and laugh. A simple break up shouldn't ruin it," I tell her.
She looks at me for a while and just nods.

" I guess so, but I am just like every girl. We get emotional at times," Rosemary laughs.

" I mean at least you don't act like Kat when she's emotional. It was so horrible when you were gone. She was either mad or crying," Matt sighs.

" That's pregnancy for you," I laugh. He just shakes his head.

" I feel bad for Jack. Although, it's his fault," Matt mumbled.

" Okay, we have that to talk about later. I just wanna get out of here. Watching people dance like that is getting me uncomfortable and I am in the mood for some food that's not from here," Rosemary grins.

I nod and we both walk out of the room. We walk out and head over to my truck. We get inside and begin our drive back home. Rosemary pulls back the seat and lays back.

" Want me to wake you up when we're near the home or the closest McDonald's," I ask her.

She nods and closes her eyes, wrapping herself up with my blazer.

I turn the radio on and The Scientist by Coldplay comes on. I stare ahead at the road and feel tears slightly coming.

Nope, I broke up with her and I am a guy. Coldplay you will not ruin my emotions right now.

We get to a red light and I look over to the sleeping Rosemary. Her cheek was slightly stained. I reach over and wipe away a tear.

" I'm sorry for breaking up with you on prom," I whisper to her.

I turn back and see the light turn green. I drive and make my way home ( A/n: Do not worry I am not going to mess with your emotions more and do the thing you would suspect whilst he is driving. I am not that cruel.)

I stop at McDonald's and order Rosemary's usual. I park in the parking lot of a park and wake up Rosemary.

After a while of her not waking up, I carry her bridal style to the front of the truck and sit on the hood, placing her on the side of me. She stirs awake and looks up at me through half opened eyes. I pass her bag of food and begin to eat my food. She sits up and begins to eat her food.

" The stars look bright," Rosemary says out of nowhere.

I look up at the sky.

" Yeah, they sure do."
