Crystal Eyes || m.h [COMPLETED]

TWENTY

I sat on the couch with Maverick and Genesis, the other couch with Aunt Suzanne and Uncle Ed.

"Okay, you first, Sari," Aunt Suzanne smiled.

"Okay," I took a deep breath. "One, Matty and I are back together."

Everyone began cheering and Maverick had a huge smile on his face.

"Two," I sighed. "I'm going on a month trip with Matty and his band mates. We're going on a tour around Europe."

Everyone was quiet. "I have the list of all the places in case something happens, I-"

"I'm so happy for you, Sari," Aunt Suzanne smiled. "You never get to travel, and he's opening your eyes... I am so proud you're being so open with him." I felt a smile appearing on my face.

"Will you bring me something?" Genesis asked.

"Of course!" I laughed. "I'll bring everybody something. I always do, Gen."

Genesis smiled, and we all turned to Aunt Suzanne for her surprise announcement.

"Okay," Aunt Suzanne took a deep breath, squeezing Uncle Ed's hand. "Uncle Ed and I are expecting a baby."

I instantly began screaming, and so did Maverick and Genesis. I felt tears in my eyes as I covered my face.

"Sarilynn!" Uncle Ed laughed. "Are you crying?"

I nodded, looking up at them. "You guys are like my parents and I- I am so excited."

"June 16th is the due date," Uncle Ed smiled. "But like every Jone baby, they'll probably be born a week earlier."

Every baby in my family since my great-great grandmother has been born a week early, exactly a week early.

"Oh my god," I covered my mouth. "You guys have been trying for so long... I can't handle how happy I am."

"Four years," Aunt Suzanne nodded. "We never planned to have kids until we got to take care of you guys... Then we fell in love."

I smiled, standing up and hugging Aunt Suzanne tightly. "You're going to be a great mum, you're amazing to Gen, Maves, and I, and I couldn't ask for someone else to be a mum."

Aunt Suzanne smiled, tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry!" I laughed, tears welling up in my eyes.

A year after my aunt and uncle got married Mum passed, which means after being together for such a short time she immediately took us in. Their marriage has never showed signs of weakness, and although I don't see myself marrying I do look up to their relationship.

I stood outside of Matty's apartment, tapping my foot impatiently.

Once Matty opened the door I immediately began talking. "Okay so you know my Aunt Suzanne?"

"Yeah."

"Well she and my uncle have been trying to have a baby for four years and finally they're pregnant," I smiled.

Matty smiled, "That's amazing."

"I'm going to have another cousin, a second cousin," I laughed.

"God I love you," Matty pecked my lips.

I felt my cheeks warming as I smiled, "I actually have a gift for you."

"What? For what?" Matty questioned.

"Nothing in particular," I grabbed Matty's hand. "I just... want you to have it."

I lead Matty down to my apartment, walking in and seeing Leo watching TV. "Hey Leo!" I waved, walking by him.

"Hey!"

I opened the door to my room and walked over to the window where all my paintings are stacked.

"Sarilynn, you painted me something again, didn't you? Baby those take forever..." Matty sighed.

"Hush!" I turned to him. "I wanted to congratulate you."

"For..?"

I pulled up a painting with The 1975 logo on it, the black background and the white box and logo perfectly done. Matty's face lit up.

"Sar- Sari- Sarilynn, I- I uh," Matty's lips formed into a smile. "Wow."

I nodded, "Do you like it?"

Matty looked up at me, and he moved the painting from my hands, pulling me into the tightest hug I've ever endured. I smiled, holding onto his shirt.

"I love it so much," Matty smiled. "Thank-you, a million times, more than that! I... I don't know how you did that. I can tell it's not a stencil."

I smiled, "I had a lot of free time during the weekend when you were in the studio."

Matty smiled against my neck, his arms wrapped around my shoulders. "Thank-you so much baby."

I smiled, closing my eyes and nuzzling my face into Matty's shoulder. "How can I repay you?" Matty whispered.

"Nothing," I said immediately. "You're taking me on a tour around Europe... I couldn't ask for more. You've taken me to another country..."

Matty smiled, "Something small then?"

"Matty I don't want anything, I was bored and I wanted to see you happy," I shrugged. "Please don't waste anything else on me."

"Okay fine," Matty sighed. "What about if I sing to you?"

I smiled, nodding. "But not here, Leo will question everything."

"Okay," Matty chuckled, grabbing my small which is a piece of rice compared to his.

Matty carried his beloved painting as we walked to his apartment. "I love it so much," Matty laughed. "Adam is going to be so fucking jealous."

I laughed as Matty set it up against his wall before proceeding to lead me into his bedroom.

I sat on Matty's bed as Matty grabbed his guitar.

Matty sat on the end of his bed and tuned his guitar quickly. "What song do you want to hear?" Matty asked, looking down at the strings.

"Anything," I smiled. "Anything you sing I am obsessed with."

"Did you notice some familiar songs on the album?" Matty smiled. I nodded in response. "I thought you would like that."

I smiled and Matty began strumming.

A soft sound
To the way she wears her hair down
Covering up her face
Oh what a let down
I don't seem to be having any effect now
Falling all over the place
But you're losing your words
We're speaking in bodies
Avoiding me and talking 'bout you
But you're losing your turn
I guess I'll never learn
Cause I stay another hour or two
