Pressure (A Matthew Healy story)

Going Home

I stared into Matts' eyes until I saw his eyes getting heavy and he eventually feel asleep. I stared at him a little while longer as I began to observe his beauty. I didn't even realize we were slightly holding hands. I felt a warmth in my chest that I normally would pitifully ignore, but this warmth felt comfortable. I felt at home weirdly when I suddenly remembered I HAD my own home I haven't been at in I don't even remember time seems like forever when I'm with Matt. I look for my clothes I came with so I can go home or at least see how the place is holding up. I find my clothes and get myself ready to go .

" Where ya heading Luc" a slightly raspy voice echoes from the end of the hall. I thought I was getting ready quietly but obviously not if I woke up Matt.

" Well being here with you I apparently forgot I had my own place called home " I say with a cheap smile

"I mean you don't really have to go do you , not that im begging you to stay or anything - I mean it's not even noon so theres no rush right ?" Matt couldn't be getting flustered, I must still be a little tipsy from our nightly drinks.

"I think it's best if I go , thanks for the stay Matt"

I- WAIT , I mean I could go with you know then we could hang out - or something you know ?"

"Sure let's go"

Matt and I set out to my house. It was a nice walk. So many thoughts were running through my head . My place is like a pet cage compared to Matt's really cool flat. What if he thought my apartment was to small or something ? My mind was running laps.

"Hey Luc, do you think once we get to your flat - do you think I can have some food. I drank on an empty stomach and I'm kinda starving " Matt's ears start peeking red and I laugh a little under my breath .

"Sure If there's even any food I normally ate left overs from the diner so I rarely feed myself properly."

I felt at ease while Matt and I  were walking to my apartment we were talking as if we knew each other for months years even but we only met a couple of days ago.

We finally reached my apartment and I was meet with a red slip posted on my front door.

"EVICTION ISSUED TO APARTMENT 4 TO LUCY MACE DUE TO LACK OF PAYMENT ISSUED THE 4 th OF AUGUST 3 DAYS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE APARTMENT "

" FUCK I DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE SERIOUS!"

"Who is 'they' ? I forgot Matt was standing there.

"My parents" I say with a sigh

"Care to explain love ?"

" Well my parents who are obviously no where to be found since I moved out the house or was rather kicked out because I was to much to handle mention something of the fact that when I turned 18 they would stop putting money on a card I use to pay my rent. I didn't believe them , I mean my 18th birthday was months ago and now they've decided to cut me off how fucking wonderful."

" So does that mean I can't have any food..?"

"I mean I still have 24 hours since I spent the last 2 days in your house so you can have 24 hours worth of food" We walk into my apartment well what is my apartment for 24 hours . I showed Matt the kitchen quickly so I could pack a few things .

"I'm gonma go pack up some stuff "

" Take all the time you need I'll be here" Matt says while stuffing god knows day old pizza into his mouth

" I shouldn't be long I didnt have much to begin with anyways"

I pack whatever was in the dresser into a doufel bag. I walked back over to the kitchen and find Matt staring at a photo.

" Um ..."

"Luc who are these people in this photo with you?" concern overflows Matts' voice

I look at the picture and immeaditly calm down when I see it's just a few summer camp friends.

"Just a few summer camp friends from years back why ?"

"Him"

"Who ?"

Matt points to a blonde shaggy hair boy with blue eyes"

"Oh that's Bret we were captains together once when we played tag ..why?"

"He.... Do you still have contact with him ?"

" Kinda , well I have his number but haven't call him in forever"

" Did I ever mention to you I had a sister ?"

"Had?... And no you didn't "

" Well this bastard was my sisters boyfriend and he used to beat the shit out of her to the point where -..."

"Where..."

"Where she killed herself "

"Wait what I've never known Bret to be abusive !?!"

"Well I guess you didn't know him enough yeah ?"

"Matt , I-"

"That bastard skipped town after she kill herself and no ones ever heard from him . Luc call him and tell him to meet you somewhere I will get that bastard Ive always thought about ways I would kill that bastard if I got my hands own him but I never imagined that I would actually get the chance -"

"Matt I just cant call him out of the blue I mean -"

"Are we friends or not Luc ?!"

I have no idea what over came me but my body and mind were not connected because when I checked back in I was dialing Bret. I waited and then my heart dropped.

"Hello?"

It was him.
