Best Friend + Matthew Espinosa

47. The dying truth

Matthew Espinosa's shitty ass point of view:

Recap:

"So you are hiding something from me." She says. I cannot tell her, I just can't.

"N-" She cuts me off.

"You just fucking said no!" She yelled. "Seriously, get the fuck out." She bits down on her lip.

"Jannalyn, please." I begged her.

"Do me a favor, Matthew. Just get out and leave me alone. Please." Her voice cracked, she's so close to crying. I sighed, I don't want to go but she wants me to.

I slowly leaned down, I thought she would push me but she didn't stop me. I then left a soft kiss on my forehead before I left her room to give her some time. I walk out her house and walked to mine which is next door.

Why do I have to be such a douche? It's like a 50/50 chance. If I tell her, she'll probably get mad and never talk to me again. But if don't tell her, she'll probably ignore me my whole damn life.

Maybe I should go take a nap also then I can think about whether I should tell her or not.

"Matt! Matt! Dad's here!" I was greeted by Leyla jumping up and down infront of me as I opened the door?

"Dad?" I asked, she nods and runs to the kitchen.

What could he possibly want?

I close the door and walk to the kitchen.

"You need to tell him, Marie." My dad told my mom, looking a bit angry.

"What's going on here?" I said when I approached them.

"Oh, nothing. Nothing." My mom fakes a smile and wipes the corner of her mouth with a napkin.

"Marie.. tell him now or else I will." My dad gives her a look.

"Paul, please." She looks over at him with a guilty look. I'm confused, tell me what?

"He needs to know. He's old enough! He needs to know why I'm leaving." He points at me.

"He doesn't need to know!" She yells.

"Leyla, honey please go to your room." He sweetly tells leyla.

"But daddy-"

"Leyla, we need to talk as adults, okay?" He kisses her forehead before she nods and runs up to her room. "Matthew, take a seat." My mother sighs loudly, covering her face with her hands looking stressed. I took a seat between them.

"Paul, you don't have to do this." She begs him, but he didn't listen.

"The whole reason why I left this family was because I just found out that I'm not your father."

"What?" I laughed. "This is a joke right?" My mother was looking down at the ground and my father shook his head at me. "Tell me this is a fucking joke!" I yelled, my mom jumped in her seat and started crying.
