My Neighbor Matt Espinosa

Chapter 17

~MARCH'S POV~

I don't know how, but I finally fell asleep last night. Now it's almost 11 am. I decide to go downstairs to eat breakfast.

I walk into the kitchen and pour some cereal in a bowl along with some milk. I go into the dining room and sit down. My mom was there too. My dad wasn't. Big shocker.

Then my dad walks in with a bag in his hand. Why does he have a bag? is he moving out already?

He sees me and comes to sit down at the table. My mom says, "well I guess we should explain the rest to you, since you didn't give us a chance to last night.."

"Yeah. Sorry about that..." I say.

"No honey, it's not your fault. I can't imagine how you must've felt." She says back.

Then they basically say how they've been planning for my dad to move out for a while now and that they're getting a divorce and blah blah blah.

"So when are you leaving?" I ask. "Now?"

"Yeah... I almost have everything in my car. I have two more bags to take out." he answers. "Sorry.."

Then he walks out the door to finish putting things in his car. Wow. I didn't know he was leaving so soon.

I finish my cereal and put the bowl in the sink. Then I walk into the living room and sit down on the couch. I just sit there silently until my dad walks in and says, "well.. I'm done.. good bye" and spreads his arms out for a hug.

I walk over and hug him. Then he leaves without saying anything to my mom.

This is going to be weird. Only having one parent in the house. Oh well, I guess I'll adjust.

But since my dad's gone... maybe I can hang out with matt today.

I look around the house for my mom. I find her in her room on her computer. She looks up at me and says, "has your dad left yet?"

I nod my head yes and say, "can I go to matts house today?"

"Sure"

I smile and say thanks. Then I go to my room and grab my phone.

I text matt saying 'hey:) r u doing anything today?'

He replies with 'Nope'

I say 'well my dad just left and my mom said I can finally leave the house'

'Awesome! wait. I mean.. sorry. About your dad leaving. Awesome about u leaving the house! do u wanna come over?' Was his response.

I smile and think only matt. I reply with 'sure:) what time?'

'Anytime's fine with me'

'Ok. I'll text u before I leave'

'K'

Then I go get in the shower. Do you ever just lay down in the shower? because I do. Or I did today anyway.

I slip on my jack and jack shirt and some high waisted shorts. Then I brush my teeth and wash my face.

Once I'm finished I blow dry my hair and straighten it, since I haven't done that in a while. I slip on a black beanie and find my black vans. I quickly put them on and grab my phone.

I text matt saying I'm on my way and walk out the door.

I walk over to his house and knock on the door. Matt opens it with the püma face and I start laughing. He does too and steps to the side so I can walk in.

I follow him to his room. It feels like forever since I've been in here. He does a bellyflop on his bed and I jump on the bed right next to him, causing him to jump and almost fall off the bed, since he landed on the edge.

I start laughing and he puts his bottom lip out and pouts "that wasn't very nice"

I just laugh more and shove him lightly. But of course he overreacts and throws himself on the ground.

How can you not be in love with him?

***sorry it's kinda short but I wanted to update tonight. Also sorry about all the mistakes and if it's boring. I already have an idea of what's going to happen at his house though, so the next chapter should be better hopefully.
