Skinny Love

Chapter 27: Ugh, seriously?

Matt's P.O.V:

___________________________

"So you're telling me, that time isn't a line?" I asked Avi as we walked toward my dorm. She was jittery and excited to breakup with the asshole that left an angry red mark on her arm. I was happy she was going to cut the rope because now, maybe I stood a teensy bit of a chance.

She laughed and flipped her hair over her shoulder.

"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect but from a non-linear, non-subjective view point, it's more like a big ball." She explained looking up at me. I love the way she looked at things. Her eyes are always wide and curious. An observer's eyes. Her mouth slightly open and her dimples lightly showing. She didn't even try and she just took my breath away. She is just beyond words. She is infinite. The only mystery worth solving.

"A big ball?" I asked. All I wanted was for her to keep talking. I just loved listening to her.

"Yeah, a big ball of, uh, wibbly wobbly, timey-wimey, stuff." She whispered smiling.

We were at the door to the dorm and I was about to take my keys out of my pocket when she held one hand out to me as a stop and pressed her opposite hand's pointer finger to her lips. I nodded and raised my eyebrows. She pointed to her ear.

I listened to the muffled sounds of the dorm. Moans and groans came from the other side.

"Oh Lord." I whispered to her. Her face was absolutely expressionless. I could see through her thin façade. She was hurt. Seriously hurt.

She started to tremble.

"Hand me the key." she whispered, trying desperately to keep her voice steady.

"Are you okay?" I whispered.

"Give me the key. Please?" she whispered fiercely.

"Are you o-"

"Give me the goddamn key Matthew or so help me, I will break down this fucking door." She said. I handed over the keys as quietly as I could.

"Okay, Aviani." I said under my breath.

Avi was an extremely quiet lock opener. Once it was unlocked, she swung it open to reveal Jon being blown by the same girl who almost murdered Avi a few weeks back. Avi quickly snapped a picture. I was furious, then I imagined the way Aviani must feel.

"Oh would you look at that!" Avi exclaimed. She smiled at Jon and Unidentified Blonde. Both of them looked at her with smirks on their faces.

"So I have a question. You could have just broken up with me. Why'd you have to fuck her behind my back?" She asked. She was being unbelievably calm. She was almost a sociopath. Jon laughed.

"Because you were interesting but awkward. Gorgeous but fat. I could point out so many flaws on you. I knew that if I broke up with you you'd bitch about it to Matt. I didn't need him in my case like that so I decided to go out with Jenny over here. She's perfect, you see. She's tall, blonde, super model skinny. What else could you ask for? Plus, she doesn't freak out if I try to touch her. You are just a waste of space." He finished. Jenny laughed and reached up to kiss Jon.

I couldn't even process what had just been said. I wanted to rip Jon apart because first of all, he just crushed the most wonderful girl I'll ever know. Second of all, he picked someone underwhelming to cheat on her with making her seem worthless.

I took a step toward the couch and she stick a small hand out.

"Let me fight my own battles." she said.

"All I came here to say was you're a dick and that I had already known about this affair for weeks now. I would have broken up with you sooner but I just wanted to let you think you has won." Avi laughed a dark chortle. Jon looked at her confused.

"Oh come on, you can't really think I'm that stupid. I could smell her cheap ass perfume on this couch and I could also smell it in your hair. I also know that you're gay because you've been fucking my boy Tyler Oakley. I know he's hiding in the closet too. Tyler, you can come out now." She said looking over at Jon's side of the room. The closet door opened slowly and Tyler strolled out like no big deal.

"But how?" Jon kept saying.

"The footprints and the cologne and also, your wearing Tyler's ring I gave him for his birthday last year." She continued.

"You lost the game. I won." She said laughing. Jon was unamused.

"This is definitely not over you ugly ass skank." He said. Avi took her hand and stuck up her third finger.

"You can kiss my fat ass, cunt." She said. She hooked arms with Tyler and then with me and she walked out fabulously.

"That was some fine detective work, Ms. Wreck." I said. She whispered a thank you and them I noticed why.

She was crying silently.
