Again I'm at the coffee shop and Xavier is here again. I try and avoid him the very best that I can but he sees me and he walks right over.

"So that date" Xavier says confidently.

"The date that exists only inside your brain?" I ask and he shrugs.

"I think you want to say yes but I think that you're trying to play hard to get"

"Or I'm playing married and have kids" I tell him as I have so many times before.

"Girls have run over to me having kids and a husband before. What's your deal?" Xavier asks. He isn't even that cute, how could millions of girls with a husband and kids run up to him once he uses his "powers" that's ridiculous.

"So you're telling me you've been with plenty of sluts. Nice" I say. I go to leave the coffee shop and he grabs my wrist and pulls me back towards him.

"Exactly, so, that date"

"Are you calling me a slut?" I ask. He's an asshole. He doesn't know me. He smirks. "You're a douche. You don't even know me"

"But I do know Mason" I take a deep breathe and cross my arms. "I know you did things with him when you were with the guy you're with now"

"That's not true" I state but he's chuckling now with the satisfaction of getting to me.

"I know that your first daughter is his"

"Biologically, not legally" I state and Xavier is shaking his head.

"Mason loved you, you know" I walk away again but Isaac is jogging behind me. "Gillian"

"Don't" I say and I get into my car and drive off to Matt. I need Matt.

I get out and run to Matt. "Matt" I call. "Matt" I call again. Tears are starting to form in my eyes. Why is he not here? "Matt" I start to cry. I drop to my knees and cry for him. "Please" I whine. "Carter?" I ask trying to get anyone. Why is Matt not here yet?

Gillian tries to remember the last time she saw Matt.

"Sorry" he says.

"There you are. Why did it take so long?"

"I can't always just show myself to you, Gillian. We have a connection and that's why we can talk while I'm not physically there. The connection decreases as you forget about me it gets harder and harder to talk to you"

"I don't forget about you ever" I told him.

"Sometimes it's amount of grief. You aren't as sad so it's harder for me to talk to you" he told me.

"Well you were right about Xavier"

"I know I was"

"Well Mr. Cocky, what did you mean by when you said you'll see me soon enough?"

"I'm with you right now, right?" he asked.

"I knew you were just making a dramatic goodbye" Matt looked so unhappy.

"Well that's enough for today" he said and slowly disappeared.

"Matt" I called out but he was gone.

He can't show himself to me anymore. We lost the connection. I slowly walk away and back to my car.

*3rd person POV*

But the real reason Matt didn't come out wasn't because Gillian and his los the connection, Gillian was still feeling enough grief to see Matt, Matt was listening to her cry for him but he never showed himself, on purpose.
