/ Im sorry that your dad's dead, I hope you amend it

** this chapter is dedicted to one of my amazing readers Justfictions and Abbie1234567 both are so sweet and I love how the comments they give me make me feel ten times better when I read them.**

12 am.

My phone went ringing madly. Waking me and Matty immediately with the tenth ring. I hated it that I forgot to put it on silent and I checked the caller.. Paul. I knew right away that the call was urgent and I panicked, amswering the call with a shaky breath.

"Paul? What's wrong?"

I heard his low sobs and I knew this was it. This really is happening. I didnt wait for his reply. I told him I would go there right away and ended the call. Matty was already up, rubbing his eyes and putting his dark coat on and getting his phone from the table.

He gave me a sad, sympathetic look and he rushed to hug me as I sat limp on the side of the bed. I wasnt sad, but more of relieved as of now. Maybe with the fact that finally, my dad wont be suffering from the pain and its all over now. I didnt like seeing him that way, it was just such a horrible sight.

"Im okay, Matty.. Im just worried now because she'll be there."

he shook his head. "If she says or lays a finger on you, I'd be there to talk to her and stop her." he said calmly as he pulled me up.

I didnt bother fixing my makeup and dress well. All I did was put on a decent shirt and my coat on and we rushed to the hospital. Matty told the boys about it but didnt push them to come with us, since it was only around 12:30am now. My hand throughout the drive was cold and clammy, despite the weather and it didnt bother Matty.

It didnt sink in to me quite well yet until we arrived and we pushed through the busy building, up to the same room. We found Paul outside, leaning on the wall with his face burried under his hands. He looked horrible and I rushed to his side, only to be greeted by a fuming lady.

"how dare you come here!"

was the first words she spat at me and I was taken back to Matty's side. The woman faked a gasp in a theatrical way and glared at him "and how dare you bring that bastard with you?" she sneered at him and Matty scowled. "beg your pardon, ma'am but you know absolutely nothing about me.." he said.

She took a step forward and he gave her one of those looks. I cant believe she's actually doing this right now. All I wanted to do was see my father, and give him a last hug and kiss before they take him to the morgue.

"can we please, not do this right now? Im seriously .. so tired of this shit right now and all I want to do is to see my father" I told the woman and she glared at me, which I was more than happy to give back.

"I wont let you. you are an ungrateful daughter, I cant believe he didnt disown you while he was still alive. You're a pitiful excuse of a daughter, didnt he tell you that?" her words felt like a million slaps to the face and it stung my eyes. Matty had released himself from my grip and he took a step forward, nearing my step mother.

"I swore to myself to never talk to a woman this way.. but this seem like an excuse for it. Have you got no respect? This is his daughter, no matter what you do.. she is blood related to the man who is dead inside that room. I know all about you, and your scemes, it actually disgusts me. Your reason why you're angry is because you are a jealous and selfish old woman.. I think you owe my girlfriend a sincere apology for telling her harsh words. She had been but a sweetheart and a nice woman to everyone.. and I disagree to everything you said"

My eyes were sure to jump out of their sockets when Matty stood up for me like that. But telling her that I was his girlfriend, was another story. She gaped at him and with that she stormed out of our sights.

"Im sorry about mom.. you know how she is. She just got worse everyday and now she was so angry.. because your dad left all of it to you.." Paul explained as we sat by the waiting area near the morgue. I was so surprised about the information..

"everything?"

I asked again and he slowly nodded. "yea.. everything. Properties and all that stuff." he shrugged and I hugged Paul tightly. "he left something for me too actually.. that old truck" he adds with a soft smile on his lips and I grinned at him.

Matty sighed brushing his hair and he lazily looked at me. Paul stood up to get some coffee, and left us to ourselves. I scooted closer to him and kissed his cheek. "thank you.." I told him and he eyed me "for what?" he asked and I rolled my eyes. "Oh, please.. cmon now. It was really sweet and brave of you to stand up for me." I said and he smiled. 

"but..-- " he cut me off when he lay his finger on my lips. He shook his head with a smile and he looked at me straight in the eyes.

"will you be my girlfriend, Jamie?"
