Hidden (Matt Espinosa)

fifteen

November

It's been about two months since I've last talked to Matt. I didn't entirely see the point of talking to him again and I guess he felt the same way. Matt and Jess have been in an on and off heated relationship ever since.

Tomorrow's Thanksgiving and Nick is coming home from college. About a month ago Jonah had a major fall out and was near to death. His doctor recommended a new procedure they've been trying that has worked on some leukemia patients, it was to make him live longer, but not forever. My mom refused to go along with the procedure due to money issues, but there was an anonymous donation that covered the entire thing.

"Sis?" I blink and look to Jonah, "Yeah?" He shows me his drawing, "Look it's our family." I take it from him and smile... He even drew George. "Do you think George will be our new daddy." I sigh, "I hope not." I look back down at my phone. George hasn't done anything to me since he's been back with us, I'm actually shocked.

Nick: just got off the highway!

I jump off the couch and run into my moms room, "Mom! Nick will be here any minute." She looks to me and smiles. "Yay!"

After anxiously waiting for him to get here I finally see his car pull up. I run out the door and jump into his arms. He swings me around then sets me down. Jonah and Ana run to him as well and greet him with hugs. "How yah doin buddy?" Jonah smiles wide, "Good!" I smile and motion for Nick to come inside. We all sit together in the living room. Mom walks in and smiles, "I want to introduce you to someone." Nick nods and mom motions for him to come in. George walks in and smiles, I shiver. Nick stands and shakes his hand, "I'm Nick." "George." He nods and I get up, "Let's go for a walk Nick, we can catch up." He nods but mom speaks up, "Really Drew. Do that later, he just got here." I look to her and we walk out the house.

"So, what's George like." I look to him, "He's creepy." He nods, "Yeah. I got the vibe. Keep away from him whenever you can." I laugh, "Oh trust me, I try." I see him smile, "So, got any boys chasing you?" My breathe catches in my throat, "Uh, uhm, not really." He shoots me a glare, "What's the supposed to mean?" I shrug, "Not anymore." He bites his lip, "What happened?" I sigh, "I think sex ruins things." He stops walking and looks to me, "You what? Oh my goodness, Drew." I put my hand up, "I'm safe okay. I don't need a speech. I'm not sure what happened but he called me a slut and flipped on me and I haven't talked to him since." He pulls me into a hug, "I doubt your a slut." We pull away. "I've only ever slept with him." Lie. Even though being raped doesn't entirely count.

We get back home and mom and George are in the kitchen making dinner. George comes over to me and smiles, "How've you been?" I roll my eyes, "Stop." I walk into the living room and start playing with the kids.

"Need help with the stuffing?" She smiles and hands me the mix, "Get it started, will yah?" I nod and start the stuffing. Nick walks in and gets the cranberry sauce out. "You excited for dinner?" He nods, "Yes, I've missed my family." I smile, "Me too." He nudges me, "Hey, it isn't so bad here." I laugh.

Once the foods done I tell Jonah to help Nick set the table. I walk to the counter, "What do you need me to help with?" She points to the turkey and I grab the dish and set it in the center of the table. After the tables finished being set we all sit down and join hands. George says our prayer. "Thank you God for letting us all be here today, as a family, to share this beautifully made meal. And thank you for giving Kate and I the opportunity to finally buy a beautiful house, together, as a couple." We all say amen then I glare at mom, "You bought a new house?" She smiles, "Yes now wipe that sour look of your face and be happy."

When we all finish cleaning up George speaks up, "Wanna go see the house?" Everyone nods and we all get in the car. Once we get there my mouth drops open. "How the hell did you get this?" George smirks at me, "After my parents tragically died about two months ago I was left a lot of money." I bite my lip, "Sorry." We get out the car and I look up at the new house. It's two floors and pretty large. The house is a tannish color and there's an area in the front that's a mix of grey-like stones. When we walk through the door there's a big staircase to the left and then a hallway. We walk down it and into an open kitchen, dining room, and living space. My mouth drops open, "It's huge." He smiles, "Yup. It's perfect." I walk up the stairs and down the hall. I walk down the hall and open the door to the room at the end of the hallway. My mouth drops open. It's quite small, but perfect. The bed is right between two walls and there's a large window behind it. The comforter is black and there's a spiderman throw blanket on it. Along the two walls next to the bed are bookshelves covered in pretty much all my favorite books. There are Christmas lights hanging above the bed and a brand new MacBook sitting on the bed. My eyes widen. I run back down the hall and see Jonah's eyes widen as he looks into the room. I look into the room with him and smile. It's blue and on the back wall is a spider-man painting. His whole room is spiderman themed. "Wow." He nods and runs in. I smile and go see Ana, her eyebrows are furrowed. "What's wrong?" I look in and am immediately confused. Mom and George walk up and smile. Ana speaks, "Mommy that beds too small for me, I already grew out of my crib." They smile and George takes moms hand, "Kids. George and I are gonna be having a baby." My heart starts to pound and I fake a smile, "C-congrats." I walk back and open the door to Ana's actual room, "Here's your room Ana." She runs to me and smiles. It's pink and lined with lights and there's a huge dollhouse. I walk past them and down the stairs.

(A/N: go to @hidden.me on Instagram to see the visuals of the house and rooms!!!)

"Come with me sweetie." I roll my eyes and follow George. He stops at the end of the hall and pushes my bedroom door open. He closes it behind him. "Look, there's a door here and it's your bathroom and closet." I let out a sigh of relief for the fact that's all he closed the door for that reason, "Thanks." He laughs, "You don't really think that's all I brought you in here for." I roll my eyes. "C'mon Drew, you knew I wouldn't keep away forever. We're gonna go back to the old house soon and get all your shit, then when we get back later I have a surprise for you." He walks out and I just stare at his back blankly.

I walk into my now old room and look around. I go over to the closet and grab the old laptop from the shelf along with the cardboard box. I look at the two items and sigh. I look over to the bigger box that I'm supposed to fill with my stuff, and set them both down gently at the bottom.

Once the three of us finished gathering what we want most I start to help them load their boxes into the back of the three cars we have.

Mom and George take the kids and head to the new house. Now it's just Nick, my car, and I. I look back at the house and notice a bouquet of flowers. I walk over and read the card.

Drew,

We need to talk, please come by tomorrow for dinner.

Matthew

I smile and walk back to the car and get in. Nick looks to me. "And who is sending my little sister flowers?" "It's Matt, he wants to talk over dinner." He nods, "Don't do anything dumb." I roll my eyes, "I won't Nick."

When we get to the house Nick helps me carry my one box upstairs. He sets in down on my floor and looks around my room. "It's so small." I nod, "I don't mind." I look around, there's about a 6x6 sized space of carpet where there's a clear glass desk to the left and when the carpet ends there's a wooden plate of wood where the queen he rests on. The walls aside is are bookshelves. I look back to Nick, "I like it." He smiles, "Good." Once he leaves I open the box and my closet door and start unpacking my clothes.

Once I've finished unpacking the box I look at the last two items, the laptop and cardboard box. I bite my lip and pick them up. I walk into my closet and step on the stool and set them on the top shelf.

Mom walks in the front door after getting back from dropping Nick off at the airport and walks up the stairs. I look back at the TV and then I see George coming down the stairs. He smirks and walks towards me. "Make a sound and I'll kill you." I swallow hard and he comes closer. "Stand up, and open that door." He motions to a door and I open it, he nods at me to go down the stairs. I head down the stairs, it's dark and damp. When I get to the bottom there's another door. "Open it." I hesitate then open the door. I walk in and he closes the door behind him. I turn around quickly but I can barely see through the darkness. My breathing quickens and I take a step back but my back hits the wall. The lights turn on and I look around the room. "This thing is like a box." He nods, "Get cozy, it's gonna be a long night for you and me, there's no running." I look around but there's no where to go, "Let me go." He shakes his head, "No." He shuts the door and smiles. My mind races as I think of an escape route. Hit him in the balls Drew, maybe you can get to the door that way. I take a step forward and walk up to him. "Kiss me baby." He smiles and walks closer to me, as soon as he's close enough I kick him hard then reach for the door. He falls but grabs my leg, I fall forward and hit my head hard on the floor. My vision goes black.
