Save Me?

Chapter 9

Matts POV

I held Kelly in my arms for a little bit longer. I wanted her to know that I'll never leave her. I had no idea she went through so much. I have to do something.

I wanted to get her mind off of it and show her a good time. It needs to be simple but fun so she doesn't expect it.

"Do you want to leave?" I asked her. She pulled her face away from my shirt and looked up and nodded.

"Ok let's go." I replied taking her hand. We walked down the long hill and got into my car.

"Where are we going now?" she asked me wiping the tears from her face.

"My place." I looked at her and smiled. She smiled back.

We got to my place and walked inside.

"Hey Matthew, who is this beautiful girl?" my mom asked. Kelly blushed.

"Hi I'm Kelly." She smiled.

"Hello I'm Mrs. Espinosa but you can call me Sarah." She smiled. Kelly smiled back. I went to pull her upstairs and then my dad came down.

"This must be Kelly. Matthew talks about you an awful lot. He was right, you are very beautiful." My step dad smiled at Kelly. I gave him a look and saw Kelly look down blushing.

"Thank you" Kelly replied.

"We are going to my room." I told my parents as I grabbed Kelly's hand and pulled her upstairs.

"Who's rooms are these?" she asked referring to the other blue one and the pink one.

"The blue ones my older brother Dylan's and the pink one is my sister Kristen's" I replied.

"Matthew your father an I are going out. We will be back in about 3 hours." My mom yelled from downstairs.

"Ok!" I yelled back. That left me and Kelly.

We talked a while just sitting on my bed. We were both laying down. She rested her head on my chest. This is nice.

An hour passed and I heard her stomach growl.

"You hungry?" I asked smiling.

"Yeah haha" she laughed embarrassed.

We went down stairs to get some food.

"Let's make...PANCAKES!" I screamed grabbing the mix. I love pancakes.

"Ok I love pancakes!" Kelly said.

"Me too!" I agreed.

We got the stuff into the bowl and when Kelly wasn't looking I grabbed flour.

"Kelly?" I asked making her turn around.

"Yea-MATTHEW ESPINOSA!" she said after I through flour at her.

"You're cute when you're mad." I said laughing at her.

"You're gonna get it." She said smiling.

"Ooo I'm so scared" I mocked her.

She grabbed some of the pancake mix and rubbed it across my face.

"Well played Landis, well played." I said as I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer.

"Not so fast Mr. Espinosa." She said getting away from my grip and running up stairs.

I quickly followed after her. Damn she's fast.

When I got up there I couldn't find her. That's when I heard her sneeze.

I quietly walked into my room and got on top of the bed. She probably thought I was gone because she got out from under the bed. I grabbed her and pulled her on to my bed.

"Gotcha" I said smiling. She tried to get out of my grip but I was a lot stronger than her this time. She giggled and looked me in the eyes. I was now on top of her holding her hands down.

"Now what?" she asked still looking me in the eyes.

"We need to clean up." I said laughing. My parents would kill me if they saw the mess.

"Ok then get off of me." Kelly said. I want done just yet.

"When I'm ready I will." I said. She smiled. I leaned in and kissed her. This is one of those moments that I'll never forget.

We pulled away and looked at eachother.

"Now are you ready?" she asked laughing.

"Not really but I guess." I said smiling. I got off of her and helped her up.

We went down stairs and quickly cleaned up the mess.

"Our poor pancakes." She said making a pouty face. We looked at each other and them raced upstairs.

"I call the first movie!" she must've read my mind.

"Alright but only on one condition" I told her. She looked confused.

"And what is that exactly?" she asked.

"It has to be scary." I told her. She had the biggest smile on her face.

"Of course!" she replied. She picked out Sinister.

"Are you ready?" I asked her.

"Yeah." She said excitedly. She got on the bed with me and we cuddled and watched the movie. Whenever something would pop out she'd burry her head in my shirt.

The movie ended and I looked over at Kelly. She was asleep.

I leaned over and kissed her head trying not to wake her.

"I love you." I whispered.
