Pressure (A Matthew Healy story)

Scene 1 Act 1

Luc P.O.V

"Mmmm who are you ?"

I decided me getting injured was not going to give Matt a 'get out of jail free card' Ive always wanted to try the 'Oh no I lost my memory make me fall in love with you again skit ' and when would be a better time than now? The only difference was I wasn't trying to make Matt fall in love with me again. I wanted to see if he had a second chance would he be completely honest the second time around. Do I feel Guilty ?,not one bit.

Ive had plenty of experience in the theatre department , being a waitress and having to wear a phony smile at the upmost disgusting people pretty much makes me a A-list Actress if I say so myself .

I soon came to realize the room had fell to deafening silence . I looked at Matts' face only to find what seemed to be a hollow shell . His face looked so pale and cold as if he heard someone had died.

"hehe C'mon Luc babe stop playing, you couldn't have forgotten who I am "

As if Matt was really reassuring himself he softly said "right ?" but only loud enough for himself to hear .

"Um I'm sorry , uh what's your name again ?"

"Its Matt and you're Lucy and we are going through a lot right now and I'm suppose to be making things right because I'm the one who fucked up and I was trying to plead to you how sorry I am and then when I kinda of caught up to you after chasing you for what seemed like forever -

"I'm sure you have the wrong girl , I know I'm Lucy but I would never be in such a situation like the one you're describing ."

"No please , just let me finish ..please.

So when I did catch up to you like I said before ,some guys were messing with you and one dragged you to the ground and you started bleeding and now here we are."

I could almost feel myself telling Matt that I was completely fine , but I just couldn't . I couldn't even look in to his pleading eyes begging for me to come back to my senses which I've never lost.

"Look I'm sorry , Matt but I have no recollection of what you're talking about and to be honest it seems Like we were in a stressful situation and I have no interest in remembering it"

Matt looked as if I just shot him in the lung , like he was out of air. I felt like I took it to far but I had to or I would let my guilt take over .

"It wasnt all bad I promise , I can help you remember if you just let me please Luc, I ... I love you. "

Look I love me too, I'm not up for a corny movie skit of you helping remember falling in love etc etc no thank you. "

I turned my face away Matt just for effect , I was not expecting what I saw when I turned back around . Matt was on his knees crying ; not little sniffles but bawling . I had to find it in myself to not tell him I'm kidding but I think a 'just kidding ' wouldn't help.

Matt searched for my eyes as I tried to avoid his . When they finally met I couldn't , my evil plan was being cut short. His eyes reminded me of the time when we were staring into each others eyes for hours .

"Um ..... Matt...........I -"

"Are you going to let me help you remember ?!" So much hope filled his voice .

I'm sure Matt would be more hurt if I told him I was lying I couldn't hurt him anymore than I've already have .But , sometimes you have to put yourself first

"Yeah ,.... Sure if that's what you want to do"

"Its not just that I want to , I have to . I can't Let you forget all that we had Luc . I just can't, if you were any other girl I could just let you go but it's not like that , you're different and I just can't let you go ."

I had to keep my gaze low because if I looked into Matt's eyes one more time I would start to crumble from the inside .

Guys I know this isn't a long chapter and I'm sorry I just have the immense headache and didn't want to leave you guys with nothing do forgive me .
