More Than Just A Friend (Matthew Espinosa Fan Fiction)
Chapter 17
Melanie’s P.O.V
I slammed my bedroom door shut. I kicked everything that was in my way.
“Melanie? Are you okay?” My mom was working her way to my room.
I took a deep breath. “Yes. I just need to go out.” I grabbed my car keys, opened my bedroom door and ran down the stairs. I stared at the blue Honda civic for a few moments before getting in.
“Where are you going?!” My mom yelled after me before I started the car.
“Don’t worry. I’ll come back.” I pulled out the driveway and raced down the street. My thoughts were racing. Should I give us another chance? Why does he even want me? There is so many other beautiful girls, but he chose me.
I still love him. I really do. But, I can’t be with him. My phone started to ring, making me lose my trace of thought. Private number?
“Hello?” It was silent on the other end for a moment.
“Matt…” The person was crying, clearly not sounding like Matt.
“Who is this?”
“Come. Hurry.”
“Come where?”
“Matt’s… House…” They were still crying.
I hung up, turned my car around and sped until I got to Matt’s house. Every light was on, the door was open and the police were there.
“Mrs. Espinosa.” I walked over to her. “Is everything okay?”
She shook her head and led my inside. She headed up the stairs and turned into Matt’s room.
My heart sunk. Anti-depressants. “Matt!” I yelled and started to cry. It’s my fault. I did this to him. Oh my gosh. I inched towards his lifeless body. His pulse was still going, but it was low. “Mrs. Espinosa, do you know why he did this?” I looked up from Matt’s body and she handed me a note.
Dear god, he had a note. He was really trying to kill himself.
“This is a really bad choice. I don’t know what to write. Mom, don’t be upset or sad. It wasn’t your fault. Dad, keep mom comfort. Chelsey, you’re one hell of a sister. Love you guys… Melanie, babe, you ignored me for a while. Since we broke up. It hurts, I know that wasn’t the real reason. But it doesn’t matter. You made your point clear. I love you xox.”
What the hell?! “Did he try to kill himself over me…?” I whispered and looked down at his face. He was breathing, but there isn’t much time left. “Take him to the ER.” I stood up. “He’s still breathing.” I grabbed Mrs. Espinosa’s hand.
The police man looked at me and nodded. Why didn’t they take him to the ER?
***
At the ER.
I looked at Matt. His eyes closed and his heart rate going back to normal. “Matt?” I whispered his name and his eyes fluttered. My hand intertwined with his. “Why’d you do this?”
“It’s not a big deal.” His voice was hoarse.
“Yes it is. Why’d you do it?”
He looked down and then at our hands. “Just because.”
