Long Goodbyes

Chapter 8

~Jess's POV~

"Okay how in the hell did you manage to do that?" Matt asks, laying a soft kiss on my lips, "You were doing so well!"

"The cone should have moved !" I say, crossing my arms.

He chuckles, shaking his head.

"Well.. Jessica. You did pretty good actually. You need to make sure your legs are strengthened though ." The man says, handing me a piece of paper.

"Oh sir thank you! Yeah, I've been trying to work out. I'm getting better."

"Have fun. And be safe!" He says.

I turn to Matt, my smile beginning to hurt.

"I'm so proud of you!" he says, leaning down.

I jump on his back, resting my head on his shoulder.

"Thank you for all of this Matty." I whisper, kissing his cheek.

"I think you can thank me after the concert tonight."

I can see his smirk, even even though I'm not facing him.

Freak.

**

I throw on my blue 'Mrs. Horan' crew neck, a pair of ripped jeans, and my black vans.

Finishing the whole thing off with my straight back hair, and some winged eyeliner, powder, and mascara.

"Good enough." I say, looking at myself in the mirror.

It's hard now a days.

My bruises have finally gone away.

But then there's the new limp, and my tired eyes.

It's even harder looking at myself as a mom. It's a hard job. But I love my baby boy, so what am I gonna do?

I stop thinking about that and grab my phone, slowly and carefully coming down the stairs.

I get tired half way through, having to sit down.

This sucks..

"JESS ARE YOU- your right here. Hi" Matt chuckles, climbing to where I am.

"Sorry . I got tired..." I put my head down, playing with my phone case.

"It's alright, come here." He says, pulling me up.

He bends down so I can get on his

back again.

What would I do without this boy.

I say goodbye to everyone, getting myself into my car.

Thanks to my Taylor boy.

Matts driving of course, because I can't quite yet. But who wouldn't wanna

roll up to One Direction in a Camaro?

Like let's be real.

It's only about a 20 minute ride until we hit the place.

It literally looks like no ones here, that's so weird.

"Ready?" Matt asks, parking the car.

I nod.

"Duh." I get out, slowly walking towards him, where he takes my hand.

"I thought we were going to an arena..." I say, looking at the smaller sized office building.

"Shh." Matt rubs my hand.

How do you have a concert in a place like this ? A hugeeee under ground thing ?
