Matty's POV
"That's fucked up, Matty. That's really fucked up." Frailey says, taking a drink of his beer.
"Yeah, you're fucking telling me." I say, taking a long chug. He watches me down the beer quickly and then grab another one. His slightly amused yet sympathetic face as he watches me annoys me slightly, but I don't really care.
"I can't believe she would do that." Megan says from her spot on the couch.
"Yeah. She didn't seem like a fucking gold digger." Frailey says with a shrug.
He's right. She didn't seem like a gold digger. But, she fucking is.
"Whatever. Fuck her. I deserve so much more than this. I deserve so much more than all of this." I say truthfully. It is the truth, too. I deserve more. I deserve better than all of this.
I'm just scared that Candace was the best that there is.
"You don't mean that. Come on, Matty. You loved her. Maybe she just needs to explain herself?" Megan says, trying to convince me otherwise.
"What could she possibly say that could fix this? She fucking lied to me. She lied to you. She lied to everyone, Megan. I can't fucking forgive that." I reply, frustration clear in my voice. I don't want to take this out on them. Especially not on Megan. She hasn't done anything wrong. She just doesn't know what to do, given her current position.
"I know it was fucked up, Matty. I'm just saying that I think you should give her a chance to explain herself. I don't think she was in it for the money. At least not at the end." She shrugs.
"Whose side are you on right now?" Frailey asks her, looking at her with confusion and frustration. "Matty is our best fucking friend, Megan. And he's fucking hurt right now. Don't go and defend Candace and try and come up with a valid reason as to why she did any of this. She fucked up. Not him. She was the one who fucked him over. He can feel however he wants about her." He tells his wife.
"I'm not taking sides, Kyler. I'm just saying that I think they had something real. Maybe there was some lies caught up in the mix, but Matty isn't fucking innocent here either. Matty, you cheated on her. She fucking forgave you for it. Don't you think you owe her a little bit of forgiveness too?" She asks, cocking a brow at me.
"This is completely different than that. Me and Haley...that was fucked up, yeah. But this isn't even close to that. You can't even compare the two. This is beyond fucked up. She broke my fucking heart. Honestly, what she did doesn't deserve fucking forgiveness. She's lucky I don't....Fuck, I don't know. I have no fucking clue. My life is so fucking turned around right now, and I have no idea what I want to do. I fucking loved her. I fucking gave her anything and everything she wanted. I mean...I fucking tried to! Clearly it wasn't enough. I mean, what the fuck am I supposed to do now? I'm so lost right now. I don't want to fucking be here anymore. Like, fuck. I wish I was the one going to Seattle now." I say honestly.
"Do you want to?" Frailey asks seriously.
"Do I want to what?"
"Do you want to go to Seattle instead? I mean...I have that studio apartment available, still. I was just going to try and find a house out there instead, but I already have the lease signed on that bitch. So, I'm stuck paying on it for a year either way. You don't even have to switch anything over. You can just give me the money every month and I'll get it paid. It's already getting drafted from my account, and you know I have never been late on a single payment in my entire life. If you really want to go, then be my guest." He tells me.
"Go to Seattle..." I mumble, almost regretting even letting that thought exit my mouth. But, I did. And now, it's in the air. It is a thought, though. Seattle is beautiful. It's still fairly close to him, so I can still see Megan and Frailey. My mom will more than likely always visit me, but I could stay with her when I'm in town. Maybe it won't be a terrible idea. With everything that's going on between Megan and Frailey, it might not be a terrible idea.
"That was a pretty nice apartment, too. It was fucking massive for a studio apartment." Kyler reminds me.
He's right. The large, open space would be perfect for someone living alone, which I would be. Its honestly just my style, and It's still massive for a studio apartment.
"I can't do that." I say, shaking this thought away. I cant run. If I run away, then Candace and my dad win. They didn't fucking win. If I run, then my dad was right about me being too upset over breakups.
He isnt right. He will never be fucking right. Not with this. I can't allow that.
"Well, just think about it. Okay?" Frailey says.
"Let's just drink more, okay? Forget about this other shit. You have us, Matty. You will always have us." Megan says, going towards the fridge for more beers.
"You aren't allowed you have one, remember?" Frailey yells down the hallway at her. She flips him off we know its playful when she turns around and flashed her bright smile at him. He smiles back, and for a second I feel jealousy course through me.
"You're lucky, Frailey. You're so fucking lucky." I say, finishing the last of my beer.
"Why do you say that?" He asks as Megan walks back in.
"Because you are lucky enough to have already met your soulmate at such a young age. I'm getting old. I want what you two have. Fuck, I want that more than anything. I want real love and a family. That's all i've ever wanted. I want to find my soulmate, too." I sigh, opening the can that Megan hands us.
Frailey looks at me with sympathetic eyes and takes a quick sip of his drink before saying, "I think you did find your soulmate. You just have to figure out what to do with it now." He shrugs.
Candace was my soulmate. She was my everything. He's right. He really is. I found my soulmate, but I don't know what to do now. Everything is royally fucked now.
And it's all her fault.
