Different (A Matt Hunter Fanfiction)

"You Little..."

Matt's POV:

I called her as soon as I was at the airport. It was midnight here on the east. So I called her knowing she would be up this time, since it's only 9 o'clock on the west of the US.

(Matt) (Alice)

"Hullo..." she answered sound like she was eating.

"Sup...Are you eating?" I had to ask.

"Yup, doritos locos tacos from taco bell. Wanna come over and watch Transformers or Jurassic Park or something?"

"Um...I'mInNewYorkVisitingMyParents,CabsHereGottaGoBye!" I quickly hung up. My rapper side came out just then. I didn't know how else to tell her.

Hey alice good luck watching your two best friends make out alone, because I forgot to tell you I'm leaving and coming back on sunday afternoon.

My cab was here so I did leave. At least I didn't lie.

Alice's POV:

"You little shit." I mummbled to myself.

Thursday I missed school. I didn't want to be there alone. I would be invisible to them. I also didn't want to see them gag on each others tounges today. As if I want to see that every other day. 

I literally spent my whole Thursday alone. It wasn't bad. I wasn't lonely. I had season 6-7 of Friends to watch, so I was good. I only ate pizza and surf the internet.

Around 8:00pm there was this silence. I didn't mind silence, but this time my thoughts ran. My emotions kicked in. I was crying in my bed, covered in blankets. Loneliness. I felt like I had no one. I hardly do anymore. Joe, Karina only need each other. My Parents are like blue moons, hardly see them, and probably hate me. That was it on my list of friends. I had Matt, but I feel like I am annoying to him. Like he even really cares. He just needs a friend. I quickly became upset and angry. As tears fell onto my white bed sheets I reached for my phone and played Bastille. His voice soothes my mind and heart. I find that my eyes are becoming a bit heavy. A bit drowsy. It was early but I decided to sleep anyway.

Matt's POV:

*Hours earlier*

It was about 6:40. The food was served around the table. Pasta, Salad, Chicken and Red Wine. We ate peacfully, for about 30 minutes talking about my school, their company and what not. Until they started to argue. "Like old times huh." I blurted out. I poured wine into my glass and left to my room. I sat on my twin sized bed kind of missing it. I saw some books and decided to read. I love reading. It helps me escape from reality. Open my eyes to things that didn't make sense. I pulled out a book called "The Alchemist". I sat on my bed and read.

I was reading until I stumbled onto this particular part of the book that caught my eye on page 18. I took a picture and saved it to my phone.

"…everyone believes the world’s greatest lie. It’s this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what’s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That’s the world’s greatest lie."

I set the book down and thought about that quote.

We write our own story. We can decide what happens to us, to our future.

I glanced over at my guitar case. I walked to it and opened it up. There it is. I stroked the strings playing random hords I rembered. I was really rusty. I haven't played in like 3 years. I was waiting to sell the guitar but it never happened. I always had this dream of singing. Its what I loved. My mom walked in. "Hey sweetheart." She said in a soft voice. "I'm so sorry," she continued. "Your father and I have been thinking about getting a divorce. I just can't handle his demanding, high and mighty attitude. He also agrees. Our company will be inky your father's when the divorce is final." she sighed. "I guess its for the best." I said. "I know it is." she hugged me. That night I stayed up practicing guitar. I fell asleep at 11:00pm eastern time.
