Matt's POV
I ran all night, exhausted and aching. I wiped my face for the billionth time, making sure to get every salty droplet of sweat and tears. I found a bench on the side of the street and decided to rest.
I sat down, upset and alone. I took my phone out and texted Mello. I knew he wouldn't answer.
'Hey, Mells. Where are you?'
I hit send.
Now I just have to wait. I remember [Y/n]. I have to keep in touch...
'Hey [Y/n], I'm sorry for ditching you.'
No, that's too cheesy. It sounds like I miss him/her.
'Just know I don't hate you.'
No, no, no. I shake my head.
'Hey [Y/n].'
There. I hit send.
Bing! I got a message. I wonder who it's from.

'im on colebrook st u'
"You need to work on your grammar, Mells," I mumble. I don't know exactly where I am. I look around for some kind of street sign, and I spot one. I'm on High Street and Colebrook. Surely he isn't far. Perhaps...
'Colebrook and High. Where exactly are you?'
'near the roundabout'
Mello is going to kill me with his horrid grammar. I put my phone away and start running in that direction.
Mello's POV
Matt was on his way. Meanwhile, I was with Nikki. (Lawlightislife) We met a few days after I left, about a month ago. And by golly, she was beautiful.
When we first met, I thought she was an angel. She must've fallen from Heaven! Her hair was soft, her eyes had a strong yet gentle look to them.
Man! I am a lucky son of a gun!
Nikki was sitting next to me, eating a bit of chocolate. All I could do was stare at her.
"Mello, did you space out or are you just admiring my beauty?" She asked, looking over at me.
"O-oh, sorry, I, uh, my friend is coming to join us, if, uh, you don't mind?" I stuttered, mentally slapping myself for staring.
Nikki smiled, melting my heart. "I don't mind. What's his name?" I just really wanted to kiss her. Is that wrong? Am I going too far?
"Matt. He's been my friend for... Forever." It just so happened that Matt appeared behind us, panting and all sweaty. He sat beside Nikki and sprawled out on his back.
"Hey... Mells..." He panted.
"Hey," I responded, giving him a bottle of water. He accepted eagerly and sucked down the whole thing. "Where's that one (girl/guy) you are always spying on?" Matt sat up and looked at me, confused.
"Who are you talking about?"
"Their name started with [F/I] (first initial)," I say, thinking. I can't really remember.
Matt's POV
I know who he is talking about. It's [Y/N]. I wasn't spying on (him/her), I was just staring at them from a distance. That sounds worse. Anyway, I'm ready to get out of this hell hole, so we should get going.
"I don't know who you are talking about. We should hurry up and go." I say, and Mello nods in agreement. We all get up and start walking to our destination.
[Y/N]'s POV
How am I supposed to do this?
What is wrong with him?
Telling me his feelings...
And then he just runs off!
I don't get what he is trying to accomplish...
Nor do I understand why he left...
But sometimes...
In order to get through to someone...
You have to follow them...
"And that is exactly what I'll do."
