102 (A Matt Healy Fanfic)

Chapter 12

// drink fall spew //

After Matty's adorable gesture, he had let me know that he would have to leave me alone for the day and possibly the night, to go to some "top secret" business meetings, along with something with a few of his friends who were in town. Luckily, he had spared the time to grab dinner with me in a few hours. As he was trying to be romantic, he said he was going to call me later with details about where and what time.

In the midst of being bored, also known as scrolling through tumblr endlessly while listening to Ed Sheeran, I had decided to have a long shower and do my hair and makeup. It was now 7 o'clock, and I had been expecting a call from Matty at least by then so that I could find the place where he wanted to take me. But after 9 rolled around, this seemed pointless. If he had really wanted to see me, he would've at least sent a text apologizing for being caught up in whatever it is that he does.

I decided to call him. After several rings, there was still no answer. I hope to god that he's not doing anything stupid or destructive. Although I've only known him for a few days, this man had impacted my life to such an alarming extent. However, I was still exhausted from the antics of the last couple of days, so I unknowingly fell asleep, right on Matty's couch.

As I opened my eyes, disoriented, some loud noise began buzzing from my hand. My phone ringing. Who the hell would be calling me at 1:02 in the morning? Much to my surprise, it was none other than Matthew Healy himself.

"Hiiii baby." He slurred.

Was he drunk? Or high? There was loud music blaring in the background. What the fuck.

"What the hell Matty!" I practically shouted in to the phone.

After laughing hysterically, he said "That's not the response I was expecting. How was your day? I thought about you alllll day, especially right now."

"Pretty shitty considering you stood me up. Not to mention, you had me worried sick about where you were or what you were doing. So I guess you could say I thought about you too."

"Baaaaabe I've just been working all day. I needed to unwind, I was going to call you but I ran into an old friend who invited me out. You don't need to worry, I'll be home in a couple of hours."

"Don't think that I'm just going to let this go like it's nothing. Part of having someone close to you in life is taking their emotions and feelings in to consideration."

"I know you're mad right now but you need to chillll I told you I would be going out at some point, and dinner wasn't even a concrete thing. If you wanted to have a couple of drinks and a spliff I wouldn't mind."

"If you really don't mind that much, I think that's exactly what I'm going to do."

After a quick call to Katrina, she had agreed to go out with me to a couple of bars, as she was always down for that type of thing.

"Tris, you should really hook up with someone if you're that upset about Matty." Katrina yelled in my ear through the pounding music.

Taking her advice, the more shots I did, the more guys I danced with. However, I was definitely not gutty enough to hook up with some random guy. But while waiting for the bar tender to make my next drink, I spotted a familiar set of eyes, looking at some random blonde girl whom he was talking to. Matty. As I saw him lean in for what looked to be a kiss, I grabbed some random guys hand and started kissing him, seeing out of the corner of my eye that I had definitely caught Matty's attention. Leading the way, I dragged this guy, whatever his name was, to the girls bathroom, showcasing how classy I am when I'm angry. We started making out in one of the stalls, but were too soon interrupted by Matty's slurred voice.

"Tris I know you're in there, with some random bloke, wishing it was me. So just please please come out and see the person you actually want to be with."

Fuck. This kid knows me far too well for my own good. After awkwardly leading the random guy, Mark, out, I came face to face with a very unimpressed Matthew Healy.

"What the hell Tris, were you really going to fuck that random, just to spite me? Because I can sure as shit tell you I would not be doing the same if I were in your position."

"I was just angry, okay? Seeing you with another girl doesn't exactly make me remotely happy either. You two were practically going to do the same, so I don't know what the fuck you're on about."

"You thought we were going to do the same? That's hilarious. The closest thing we did to that was whisper, which must've been what set you off. She's my little brothers girlfriend, I wasn't about to let her wander the streets of New York City alone. He's coming to visit in a couple of days, I owed it to him."

"Whatever Matty. Always being the good guy. I had every right to react the way I did, and I only acted that way out of anger and jealousy."

"You can get angry and jealous at me all you want, but it's these little mind games that I despise. I know you did that to me because obviously you know how I feel about you, and how much I want you. I want you when you're angry, I want you when you're trying to make me jealous, I want you when you're sad, I want you when you're happy. I want every part of you emotionally and mentally. But it seriously shocks me that you were just about to give yourself away to some random guy, when you have a guy already that deep down you know wants you in all of those ways I just said, and now more than ever, physically too."
