The Mystery Girl

18. Another Love

Matthew's Pov

"Haylee?" I held my unconscious friend in my arms. She wouldn't wake up. "Haylee you need to quit playing." I feel the tears start to roll down my cheeks. "Haylee! Haylee!" I shake her gently but she still doesn't wake.

"Okay okay. Look you can't leave me! Look I like you. Your beautiful, mysterious, funny, and not afraid to fight back! Your different from the other girls and I like that. You keep to yourself sometimes and don't talk much. I just- I-I ... I love you." I stutter meaning every word.

I pull her close to me letting my tears fall. "Please wake up." Then I feel a slight movement. "M-Matthew?" Haylee croaked.

"Haylee! Thank god your okay! Oh my god! Your okay! Your okay!" I kept rambling on and she shushed me.

"People are still sleeping. Now go to bed." She said. I don't think she heard when I told her I loved her. My heart fell in two as I trailed out the door.

"Matthew?" I turned around at her voice. "Thank you. I probably would have died without your help." She said and smiled lightly.

I came up to her and hugged her tight. "That's what friends are for." I whispered wishing we were more than friends.

I walked out the door and into the hall way.

Haylee's Pov

Oh my god Matthew likes me. No wait he LOVES me. I want to stop him and tell him that I love him too. Come on Haylee just do it! Do it!

I force myself to the door and peeked out to see Matthew walk down the hall with his hands in his pockets muttering something.

"Hey Matthew?" I asked and he turned around with wide eyes.

"I love you too." I said and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. "R-really? You heard me?"

I nodded and smiled at him. He smiled back and started towards me. I froze then said, "Good night!" And shut the door.

I jumped in Layten's bed and was deep I thought. I love Matthew. What if he dies like Freddy? Were those kidnappers working for W? Was Matthew going to try to kiss me?

Ugh stupid teenage emotions. It's very awkward you know. Going through a day that was fun then the slightest error can bring you down. But this wasn't a error.

I'm not brought down. I feel alive. I can't sleep. I need to hear Matthew's voice again. Telling me he loves me.

Then before I knew it I was back to sleep in the blink of an eye.
