Crestfallen // Matt Espinosa (on-break)

Chapter Three

There he was, standing alone, he had been alone for a while now but no one seemed to care or even bothered to take one bit of notice.

There he stood, his head looking to the ground.

One day he might let go, leaving the world and it's regret and sorrow, leaving those bad memories behind.

He only wanted someone to hold onto, yet no one cared.

One day, he might just let go and set free, hoping for that happiness he once felt.

"Ella, did you hear me?" My mother opened up my door, she looked frustrated.

"I didn't," I said truthfully.

"You messed up the dishwasher!" She yelled. Ever since my father left us, she's been a wreck and I've been trying to help her.

Everything I did and didn't do, would get blamed on me.

I sighed and set my homework to the side. My mother walked out of the room as I peered out of my window.

She had to yell at me four times a week to let her sadness and anger out.

Matt stood outside at the town park with a soccer ball in his hand. He sobbed, looking down at the soccer ball.

But why?

I put on my shoes and went outside.

I hate to see him this way.

This is my only chance, I'm finally talking to the Crestfallen one for the second time.
