Matt Espinosa Imagines

Imagine #17- Heartbreaker

Ruby's P.O.V.

        I had my knees pressed into my chest. The salty tears were soaking my pajamas pants and I put my head on top of my knees.

        I got up and went to my bedroom. I busted open the door and ran for my mirror. I ripped off so many pictures of us and all the ones hanging over my bed. I grabbed my picture frame and smashed it on the ground. I tore up the picture and threw it into the trash. I threw the castle he made me across the room and it broke into pieces as it hit the wall.

        The necklace he gave me was torn off my body and thrown out the window. I broke our CD mix in half and then chucked that out the window as well.

        Just as I was about to smash the snow globe he got me from Disney world two strong arms gripped my hands.

        "Ruby? What's going on in here?" My close friend Matt said as his eyes surveyed the damage I had done.

        "He.. he.. cheated.. o..onn.. mmm. mme!" I said in between sobs. I threw myself against his warm chest which was covered by a sweatshirt I got him. Matt clenched his fists until they were white.

        He rubbed my back in my circles and it was very hard for me to talk, let alone breathe and cry. I had been crying all night and all day. Thank God, my mother understood and did not make me go to school.

        "I'm really sorry, Ruby. He shouldn't have done that to someone as amazing as you. You deserved so much, I knew that from the beginning." Matt said to me.

        He picked me up and carried me over to my couch. He put a blanket on me and said "Do you want to tell someone who won't judge you and you can rant on about it to me. I won't care as long as you can get some of the feelings out so the happy Ruby can re-appear. And we will clean your room later."

        I nodded and started to tell the story.

        "So on our anniversary he wanted to go further but I wasn't ready yet. I did not want to regret my choice. We had a little arguement but we settled it out. This was about 2 months ago, by the way. So, we hung out normally and I decided that I would be ready soon. He waited for me and I knew I did really care for him. Last night, I drove over with the whole thing planned out. I will spare you the details of that, Matthew. So I pulled into his driveway and sent him a text so it was not a total surprise. He did not respond, so I used my key to get in. I called his name and there was no response. A-annd... then I knocked on his door because I heard n-nooises b-behinnd the door. I opened it up and he was banging another girl. He looked at me and I ran out of the house. I screamed it's over, as loud as possible and d-rr-ove back home. If iff if he waited, he would have gotten what he wanted but I guess I was not good enough for him to wait 2 freaking months." After telling the story in slight hysteria I broke down again.

        I pulled myself in Matt's comfortable hug and kept crying and crying. My make-up was gone by this morning so I didn't have to worry about looking like a raccoon to him. He just stroked my hair and gave me some more advice on the whole situation.

        I leaned against his chest and he just wiped some of my tears. "Ruby, I've been thinking and I'm going to go over and just talk to him about it." Matt said to me. He kissed my forehead and I smiled up. Matt did not have a girlfriend but he would be the best boyfriend.

        "Okay Matt I trust you won't go like try to do something stupid." I replied with a quiet sniffle. He pulled me into a hug and opened the door.

*2 hours later*

        I was waiting for Matt forever. Each minute I got less and more worried. They could have been having a serious convo or hopefully not beating up each other. Matt could take him but my boyfriend was really strong. My anxiety was insane so I turned on the TV to calm myself.
