Matt Deveraux

Chapter 3: Freedom and What not

Freedom and What not

  The first day of Matt's freedom in the house of the Deverauxs was noisy, very noisy. Matt seemed to enjoy his freedom and sort of took advantage of it by blasting his music, dancing, and having fun. After dancing until he was sweating, Matt sat down on the leather couch he had always adored, and just sat. There was something mysteriously exciting about that couch, though Matt never thought to ask what it was to his parents. He had the house to himself, he could do anything, invite friends to stay over, have millions of parties, smoke in his parents' bedroom, anything. The night of Yvonne's departure flew by, and soon enough, it was the next night, the second night of freedom. Though Matt wasn't particularly restricted before, he chose to believe this was freedom and not a feeble excuse to party. This night, he chose to embrace the freedom he had an excess of, quietly. He quickly strung up a film recommended on IMDB. He always liked the recommended section because on this website, he had only searched for films like love actually, stuck in love, star wars, which were in his list of best films ever made. So the recommended films would relate to his past choice of films. Strange, he thought, that the film he had downloaded blindly had been a thriller and suspense, on the verge of a horror movie. That night, he walked around in his house and made the whole round of his big garden. He usually did that with his dog following him just to reassure himself that there was no threat outside of the house. The film was about a photographer who had found multiple pictures he did not remember taking, some even of himself. What really puzzled the photographer was that he had been the only person in possession of the camera; he was very possessive with his expensive camera, and almost never took any chances in letting anyone else close to it. He'd pull out excuses. One night in the movie ''Multiple Johns,'' the photographer's girlfriend had stayed over, he couldn't really sleep that night until it was 3 am and took a sleeping pill. He woke up early the next day. His girlfriend was still sleeping.

He started getting ready for the day then shrugged Ella saying Hey sleeping beauty, get up,
you're not beautiful anymore.''

She opened her eyes lethargically saying ''Shut up, let me sleep.''

Then turned around and said, ''You played me better than you play with your camera last
night.''

John, perplexedly said ''What, Ele I went to sleep early last night, what are you talking about?''.

And that was when the character of John's first other personality came out, one that was amazing at sex, Matt thought to himself. After laughing about that whole scene, Matt was comfortable; no longer worrying about what might scare him, completely at ease.
