Broken Hearts & Promises

Chapter 5 (My POV)

I heard someone talking. In a distance though. Light cries. It sounded like Matt. Impossible though. He's in Nashville. Wait. Where am I? Everything's white.

"Please wake up baby." Matt cried.

Am I in a coma? Maybe if I try to wake up I will.

Just then my eyes fluttered open and Matt jumped up and began crying

"Baby Gir..... Makenzye you're awake! I've got to call the guys and tell them, and Kirsten. Her and Shawn have been worried sick! I can't believe you're awake!!" He bent down to kiss you and you pulled away before your lips met...

"Shouldn't you tell someone I'm awake?" I giggled.

"Oh shit. Yeah." Laughed Matt.

*skips to after the mandatory evaluation*

"You're free to leave whenever Mr. and Mrs. Espinosa." The nurse said.

"Oh I'm not...."

"Come on babe I'll get you home and get you feeling better soon my love." Matt cut you off.

Damn. What's up his ass lately? Why's he all over me? I don't know but I will find out.

*skips to at Makenzye's apartment*

"WELCOME HOME!!!" Everyone chants in unison.

"Awhhh thanks guys! I missed all of y'all!" I say tearing up.

"Hey Makenzye" Taylor said.

"Yeah Caniff?" You respond.

"Do something like this again and I don't know what I'll do." He says looking down.

You immediately rush over and hug him then you all hangout and talk for hours.

*hours later and everyone's gone except Matt*

You're putting up a cup that was left out when you feel hands wrap around your waist.

"Good to have you back baby" Matt says as he smirks down at you.

"What's with you Matt. You've never called me that before and your being so touchy. Are you okay?" You question.

"What I can't be affectionate to the love of my life?" He retorts.

"The love of your life?" You choke on your air. "You've got to be kidding me."

"No jokes here. I've wanted to tell you for so long but I couldn't bring myself to it." He says looking away and biting his bottom lip as if demanding the tears threatening to spill out to go away.

"Matt I've felt the same way. I just never had the courage to tell you..." You say wrapping your arms around his neck.

He bends down and begins to kiss you. Slow at first. Then the kiss deepens as he picks you up and sets you on your counter. Just as things start to get heated. Taylor came in because he forgot his bandana and says

"Oooh am I interrupting anything?"

"Ye"

"No." I quickly cut Matt off and hop off the counter to go lay down in bed.

As I was drifting off into sleep I felt Matt's strong arms pull me into his embrace and hold me. I could get used to this. Us. Whatever we are.
