Real (Matthew Sherrill fanfic)

Chapter 6

TAYLOR'S P.O.V.


I woke up covered in sweat. I was drenched from head to toe. Because of what? The movie and me being paranoid, or something else. Worse! Much worse!

I heard a scream and Tristen bursted through my door. I knew then I was the one who screamed. He looked worried sick. As soon as he saw it, he froze for about five seconds and then grabbed me. I was in the living room in a blink of an eye. Tristen went into my parents room and told them what was in my room. My mom sorta froze and didn't move and my dad ran up to my room. He turned on my light and then took a fire extinguisher and put it out.

Ring. ring. ring. Matthew answer.

"Hello" Matthew said sounding groggy from sleeping. He sounded so hot!

"Um..M-Matthew" I said still worked up from everything.

"Taylor..(sigh)...it's 2:34 am...nothing. Is going to hurt you. Its just a movie. Stop being paranoid." he said to me. He sounded angry for me waking him up.

"Matt...its not that. it's-" I got cut off by him.

"What? is there something wrong baby?"

"It's my bedroom. My outlet had to many plugs in it and...well...it caught on fire and my room..!" I said and started to cry.

"Hold on baby I'll be there in three minutes. I promise. love you! bye" Matthew said.

The line went dead and I set my phone down. I just sat there on the couch crying. It was all my fault.

Matthew entered the door and I looked up from my lap. When he walked in everyone got startled but me. He sat down beside me and hugged me. He wiped my tears away.

"Baby it's not your fault. Please don't cry!" Matthew whispered in my ear.

"But it was my room! My outlet! My fire!" I cried even harder.

My dad came into the living room.

"Don't blame yourself Tay! none of us wanted this to happen, but it does! remember two years ago when your grandma's house burnt to pieces and there was nothing left. That wasn't her fault! That had happened because of the weather. Nobody created it on purpose. And nobody did this on purpose either. On the bright side you aren't hurt and your room looks a lot better than that, and thank god it didn't burn anywhere else." my dad said.

We walked up to my room and everything in there was gone. Just ash. The only things I had were the clothes I was wearing and my pearl that i was wearing and my phone and charger, because I had to have my phone downstairs so I wouldn't get on it when I was suppose to be sleeping and I had it on its charger. But that was all. I Usually had some dirty clothes in the laundry room but my mom did the laundry yesterday and made me get all of my clothes and put it in my room. all I had was pj pants, a t-shirt, my pearl necklace, my phone, and my charger. I was devastated.

No more tv. No more jewelry. No more clothes. No more Makeup. No more guitar. No more bed. No more everything!

Matthew grabbed me and took me downstairs.

"Can I go to your house Matt please?" I asked. I just wanted to leave this place!

He looked at my dad and my dad nodded.

"Sure sweetheart"

We went down to the basement and I saw a pair of my boots. they were furry and I loved them. I remember wearing them yesterday night for something. I must of not took them up the my-now-burnt-burnt-down-room. I smile and put them on. at least I had a pair of shoes to wear.

I was laying against Matthews bare chest. Cuddling. He promised me that he would buy me new everything, because he had some money from being famous from sponsors and from magcon. He made me feel so much better. Nobody was up so nobody knew yet. I didn't really want them to know though. They would just feel bad for me and I hated be pitied because of something tragic happening. I shared all my thought with Matthew until I fell asleep rapped around him like a blanket.

MATTHEW'S P.O.V.

I couldn't believe what had happened. She was my baby and her world was just turned upside down. She was so scared, but she was trying to act like it wasn't a big deal in front of her parents. I was afraid that she was gonna try and act fine around me but when we were at my house she started to show that she was so lost and scared. She trusted me more than her own family. At least that's what she told me. She was comfortable around me. In the inside I did feel bad for her. A lot. But I knew that was the last thing she wanted from me. Pity. So I told her everything was going to be fine and that she was going to be fine and that she needed to be happy that she was still alive and not hurt at all. I told her that I was going to take her to the doctors and that I was going to buy her everything that she lost. I really did mean it to.

I woke up with her breathing on my chest. This is the first time all night that she looked peaceful. I glanced up at the clock and it said '11:59'. wow we slept that late. I haven't slept this late since we moved here. I got up, carefully making sure that I didn't wake her. she needed all the sleep that she could possible get. But right before I got out of bed I remembered that she asked me to stay with her until she was completely awake and I told her that I would. So I layers back down and stayed there with her playing with her hair. five minutes later she woke up. She smiled when she saw me.

"Well that's a first" I said.

"What? me smiling?..i know but just seeing you makes everything ten time better than it already is." she told me. I couldn't help but smile after she told me that.

I kissed her forehead. We laid there for about half an hour and then we got up and went down stairs to the kitchen. everyone was in the living room so they didn't see us yet. I knew she didn't want to see them either. She knew exactly what they were gonna do and say and she didn't want to put up with it. We got a drink and I looked at her. She knew it was time for them to see her. I grabbed her hand and we both walked in at the same time. That was it. We walked in the living room and....

Nothing. Just stares. Everyone was there. My sister and my parents and her Two brothers and parents. She didn't really talk about her little brother though. His name is Aden and he is 11. They don't talk that much.

TAYLOR'S P.O.V.

They all stared at me when I walked in Matthew's living room. I didn't really like all the attention though.

"Why is everyone here?" I asked. I wasn't that happy now.

"We wanted to see you Taylor" my mom said. Her voice was so gentle. So warming. But you could tell they were all pitying me and I hated it!

"I'm fine! Don't you guys have to work?" I said sorta loudly. Matthew squeezed my hand to let me know that I needed to calm down.

"No we canceled work today because of what happened. and you don't have to yell we just want to-" my dad got cut off by me.

"I'm fine. ok. So you can go to work. I don't need to be pitied. ok." I was demanding but I didn't yell.

"Why don't you want to see us? you almost got killed last night Taylor and you don't even want us here?" my mom said. she had been hurt. Badly! and that to was my fault.

"She wants to see you all. just not now because-" Matthew said but got cut off by me.

"I don't want to see any of you right now because all you want to do is pity me about last night. about how you are happy I'm not dead. and about everything. That's all you do is pity me. I don't want to be pitied, and some how Matthew is the only one that sees that. none of you see that, and the second I walked through this door you all felt bad for me and I could see it. I don't want to be reminded about what had happened." I said.

Everyone shut up for a second and then Tristen stood up and said,

"Yah! preach it up there why don't you!"

I couldn't help but laugh and then I hugged him.

McKinsey looked at me and said

"Well Matthew are we still up for today because we had some fun things planed?"

Matthew smiled and then nodded

"If it's fine with Taylor and her parents." he answered.

"Well I'm up for it" I said looking at my parents.

They nodded and I walked over to McKinsey. She took me to her room and I put on some of her clothes. I didn't feel like doing my hair or makeup so I just brushed it and let it be wavy. I only put on mascara, lip gloss, and something for my dark circles underneath my eyes because I didn't get the best sleep last night.

Matthew got ready and we left.
