Cruel Intentions

Chapter 10: Stay strong

We arrived at Joe's sub shop. Matthew turned off the engine and stepped out of the car. He opened the door for me like the gentleman He is. I stepped out of the car and we made our way to the entrance. The shop was kind of busy.

''I'll order for us. What do you want?"

I asked.

''Anything is fine with me." He said.

I went over and stood in line to place an order. This line was ridiculously long,  who can't blame it. The sub's must be delicious. My phone buzzed in my pocket and it was a text message from Matthew it said....

Boredom kills..I feel like I've been sitting here forever. Me hungry...

I laughed and put my phone in my pocket. The line started moving swiftly sooner or later. The person ahead of me was making a big order. ''I'll have two whole Philly cheese steak subs with a large fries, and two medium cokes.

After I finished order I waited for a while for it. Once I got the food I made my way over to Matthew who was sitting down looking miserable..

''Yes finally." He said grabbing his food.

''Someone was hungry." I said.

before taking my seat.

I started unwrapping my sub. I took one bite and it was like sensation on my tongue, I could feel my stomach having a party in there. The more I ate, it was so delicious and so are the fries. Matthew always laughs at me every time I eat. He's lucky he's irresistible with his curly Afro and dimples.

''So what do your parents do?" He asked while taking a fry.

''My father is an contractor and my mother is a surgeon." I said.

''You have any siblings?" He asked

''I have one sister on my mother's side and one sister and one brother from my father's side. I replied.

He nodded his head and took out his phone. He played with his curls while He was texting someone. My hair was still in a messy bun surprising after all the things that happened today.

''Maybe we should get back to the hospital, I think it will be an hour when we make it there." I said.

''Okay sure." He replied.

I threw away our food wrappers and set the tray on the tray rack. I made  my way to the door with Matthew. The street seem more busy than before. We made our way to the car and we stepped inside. He started the engine and reversed out of the parking and mounted on to the street.  

I just stared out the window just thinking. I thought about all the things that happened today so suddenly the note, Sasha and the news from the doctor. I just couldn't sync this all in, I needed a vacation from all of this. We'll be able to go on break in one month, I can't wait to go to my parents house I missed them deeply.

The drive to the hospital was quiet not a word said from me or Matthew. He seemed deep into thought by the way his body was. His emerald green eyes seem to darken it didn't shine as bright as it used to, I wish he would open up to me but I think that would make alot of emotions come out of him.

We arrived at the hospital and Matthew parked slowly. He turned off the engine and just sat there dazing off somewhere. He seemed stunted and conflicted. I touched his hand and he held on to it tightly, there was something he wanted to say but he just couldn't make the words come out like he wanted them to. He seemed fine at the sub shop but now its like his brain is in another world.

''Matthew...?'' I said looking at him.

He didn't look at me, he looked away from my eyes and face.

''Yes?....'' He replied staring somewhere else.

''Its my fault...that you're in this situation....I didn't mean to drag you in it. I just wanted to help...Sasha..not hurt you. You're too of a nice guy to be mixed up with my problems  and mistakes I've made...'' I said starting to tear up a little..

He immediately looked deep into my eyes 

''You're not Becca...this isn't your fault. I never intended for you to feel bad at all...you did the right thing. You saved your roommate,..if you never went to check on her she would have never made it out of that apartment...I never met someone as brave as you. You inspire like crazy, I would do anything for you no matter what. To me,...you're the best person anyone could have...'' He said pulling me into a hug.

I held onto him tightly and cried a little....

''I never want you to let me go.'' I whispered into his ear.

''I promise...''' He whispered moving his body closer to mine.

There was that special moment. Our body close and our hearts beating in one beat. He never let me go..and I didn't want him to. His touch made me feel better and comfortable. Sebastian used to hold me this way, it was like his soul was in Matthew. Like he knew how to make me feel better and special. I let go of him slowing, he released his hands away from my body and I just stared him deep in his eyes. His eyes were no long darken, it was bright as it could ever be. He looked at me and smiled shyly and I smiled back completely.

Moments later..Sasha's room

Matthew and I walked down the hospital hall to go to Sasha's room, we reached the door and opened it slowly. The room was quiet, you could only hear the IV on the curtains was was closed around the bed. I was a bit nervous of how the outcome of Sasha would be. Matthew held my hand reassuring me that everything was okay. I pulled back the curtains slowly wide open...,There was Sasha laying on the bed just looking weak and fragile.

''Hey....'' She said in a raspy voice.

''Hey..'' I said smiling a bit.

I leaned over her bed and kissed her on the forehead. She forced a smile and looked at me. I looked back at her, I didn't know what to say. My mind was blank I didn't want to say the wrong thing. Like ''hey we found you on the bathroom floor beaten up and oh you have HIV.'' I didn't say anything at all. I sat on the side of her bed and held her hand.

''So how are you?...'' I said.

''Miserable...the doctor told me the news..I'm just so stupid. I should have known that..Josh...was no good. Now I'm here suffering because...of what I did....'' She said tears falling down her cheek.

''Its not your fault Sasha....people make mistakes....We learn from them too. You'll be fine..I promise. Josh...won't...hurt you...again, I promise....If Matthew didn't do what he did back there...you would still be in there, just in worst condition....'' I said trying my best to stay strong.

''Thanks...Matthew...'' She said forcing a smile.

Matthew came over and held her hand.

''No problem....'' He replied softly.
