Secrets (A Hayes Grier/Matt Espinosa Fanfiction)

Chapter Five

I dont know why I got into the car. I guess I was just happy that he was talking to me. I realized that we were going to opposite way of the school and looked down at the clock. 2:45. School ended 15 minutes ago. I didn't know where Hayes was taking me but I didn't care.

I soon began to recognize where he was taking me. Home. I wasn't expecting this. I thought he forgave me and was taking me to his house or our spot at the park or anywhere but home.

The car slowly turned into my driveway. We sat there in silence for a minute, tears still falling down my cheeks, until I finally reached for the handle. Click! The door quickly locked before I could open it. Is he gonna talk to me? Forgive me? Kiss me? Before I could say something he did.

"Look. I can see that you're upset so I'll say this as gentle as I can."

"You're breaking up with me..." I interrupted.

"Not exactly...I just think that we should take a break. Just for a little while. I still haven't processed the fact that you lied to my face. I was so hurt and I still am. Y/n...I just-"

"Need time. Yeah. I know Hayes. But can't you see that by me hurting you, I've hurt myself. Seeing you hate me and not being able to be in the same room as me kills me. Hayes we have 3 classes together and if you can't look at me for one day, how are we gonna get through the rest of the 180 days?" My voice never broke an annoyed tone. "I'd be happy to give you more 'time'. But I don't think we should take a break. We're done. I can't do this anymore. Goodbye Hayes." I said with a more angered tone while manually unlocking the door and getting out. Tears now streaming down my face. Not of anger anymore but of sadness. I didn't look back. I couldn't look back.

~Later that night~

BEEP! BEEP! I knew that horn. I had just heard it earlier today. Right before I could get up to go look out my window, my phone buzzed like a million times.

Unlock the front door.

Come on open up.

Y/n?

I wanna talk.

Please let me in.

I almost ignored them thinking it was Hayes but suddenly I felt my hand open the front door to Matt. Before he could say anything I wrapped my arms around him and cried.

**Matt's POV**

~An hour ago~

I don't know what to say. Are they dating? Are they fighting? Why would she get in the car with him? I thought he hated her right now. Right now all I have to focus on is baseball. Y/n loves baseball. She's mainly the reason I started. She begged me to join so we could be "baseball/softball buddies", as she would say. I wonder why she was crying? What did he say? What did he do? Just at that moment I decided to skip baseball and find Y/n.

I should try texting her before I get out of the car. After about a million texts, I beeped the horn, and started walking up her walkway. I've been standing here for 5 minutes now.

Please let me in.

I sent one more message before I finally gave up and turned around. Suddenly I heard the door open and before I could ask to come in I felt her body pressed against mine in a hug full of tears.

We've been standing out here for what feels like forever when I finally started to shiver. After a few shivers she led me inside. I didn't know where we were going but I didn't care. We started a path towards the stairs to her bedroom and a rush of thrill and excitement ran through my body. But before we could go up the stairs, we turned and she sat down on the couch with a pillow covering her face. Quickly sat down next to her and gently rubbed my hand up and down her back. She slowly lifted the pillow from her face and just sat there with her head down. "You wanna tell me why your beautiful face is crying?" I asked hoping to see her bright blue eyes stare back up at me. A few moments pass by without any answer so I ever so gently placed two fingers on her chin lifting her head so I could look at her shimmery face. "Y/n, tell me. Come on." I smirked hoping to get a smile on her face. Which I did.

**Y/n's POV**

"Y/n, tell me. Come on." Matt said after he lifted my chin and gazed into my eyes. I hesitated answering but I know that I can tell Matt anything and everything.

"Hayes and I-we-we-we broke up." I stuttered barely able to say it. I didn't want to say it. I didn't want it to be true. My head quickly shot back down looking at my feet with tears beginning to roll down my puffy red cheeks. Before I knew it, I was wrapped back in Matt's arm, my head in his chest.

"Shhhhh. It's gonna be okay. I promise. Whatever you need, I'm right here." Matt quietly said. "You know you look beautiful when you cry." He whispered into my ear causing my head to slowly look up into his light brown eyes. A smirk grew across my face as I pulled out of the hug. Did I really like Matt? Was I crying because I was happy? Wait, no. I love Hayes. But I can't help but get butterflies when I'm around Matt. He was just sitting there texting and without hesitation, I did it.

**Matt's POV**

"Hayes and I-we-we-we broke up." A burst of happiness rushed through my body. But I couldn't show it on the outside. Y/n was really upset and I can't tell her I like her now. She just got dumped. In order to break the silence, I pulled her into a hug and told her everything was going to be alright. I gently whispered in her ear, "You know you look beautiful when you cry." Slowly she looked up at me with those big, beautiful, blue eyes of hers and smiled just before pulling out of the hug. She looked like she was thinking, so I pulled out my phone. A few moments later, I felt her head turn towards me. Her eyes glaring into my soul. Before I could turn to her, I felt her grab my face and press her lips against mine. I was shocked at first but soon enough I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. Our lips moved in sync together. I felt like we were kissing for hours. Minutes later she pulled apart gazing into my eyes...the only problem was, she isn't smiling. She has this worried look on his face. Am I a bad kisser? Before I could ask she got up and locked herself in the bathroom....she's not a quiet crier.
