Different (A Matt Hunter Fanfiction)

Trust

Alice's POV:

"Crazy week huh?" I chuckle a bit remembering all the drama between us and  Karina and Joseph. He smiles and nods. He sits comfortably on the couch. I ask if he's hungry. "No I'm just thirsty" He smiles. I go into my small kitchen. I grab him a green tea Arizona and get myself cold pizza. I place my self not to far away from him.

"How's life?" he asks sipping the canned tea. "A bitch." I shrug. "Oh at least your alive." He tries to comfort me. "Sometimes I wish I was dead." I look down at my shoes. "I don't wish you were dead." He pats my knee. I look up to see his eyes. Full of concern. "You should know I don't vent and trust people so easily. I've been let down so much Matt. But... I feel like I can tell you my life story and you wouldn't judge me." A shed a tear. "I'm here for you. All you have to do is let me know what I can do."

(Song: Fallingforyou - The 1975)

"I just need you to listen." I sigh. He sat, more relaxed. Ready for what I wanted to say.

"The reason why I pushed you away. The reason Why I was so rude is because of my past experiences. My parents. We were all a perfect family. Well it was perfect to me. We used to rent in a two bedroom house. We owned a dog named Bub. He ran away though. I don't blame him though. My parents humility was gone. They became stuck up and proud. It all happened when they got rich over their invention. It was the crappiest thing I've very seen. It was a yolk sucker," I laugh. "All it did was take the yolk out of the egg whites. I slowly was pushed away from them. The became money crazed. The never had time for me after my father and mother decided to become a business people. I hardly saw them they'd leave early and come home late. They felt sorry for me so they tried to buy me their love. I didn't want it though. I wanted them. I wanted their time, their love, their affection. Sooner or later they wanted to move to Florida. I refused. I stayed here in LA. They seemed not to care. I thought they would at least fight me to go with them. But nothing. Like that they were gone. They left me. I had no one but Joseph. They still try to buy me their love. They are so blinded by material things they don't see I just want to be loved. I judged you without knowing you...I'm so sorry." I choke on those last words. I cry as he comes to hug me.

"Were not so different either." Matt begins. "My parents are hardly home either. They always travel to work with their business. They also try to buy my love. You see Alice, every one has their own demons to fight, rich or poor. That is why I didn't treat you the way you treated me, not one second. Only because i knew behind every tough character is a broken soul." I cried even more when he said that last sentance, it was the truth. My soul was broken, but i could feel it mending as we hugged. Matt and I stay in our comforting silence. Embracing each other.

He kissed me. Which is exactly what I needed. Affection. He knew I had been deprived of it for too long. I kissed him back. As this happened my trust in him became stronger.

He spooned me on the couch. I held on tight to the blanket that was layed out over boh of us. The rain, crashed onto the roof and windows of the apartment, such a soothing sound. Matt hummed a familiar song (fallingforyou duh) and played with my hair. Soon I was in a dreaming state, which really felt unnecessary because my dreams of being loved and cared for were slowly coming to be my reality.
