Just Friends. Right? // Matt Espinosa Fan Fiction

Ch. 1

Anabelle's pov -

I didn't know what to think.

Matt was going on a date with Mary-Kate. That should be me. Not her.

Me. Anabelle Clark. Not Mary-Kate.

I guess I'm just over reacting though. But he's been my best friend for about 10 years, and I'm pretty sure he  knows I like him. He just probably doesnt like me.

I wouldn't blame him I mean, I'm me.

I was laying in bed doing homeworj when I heard and knock at my window, my smile grew once I knew who it was.

Matt and I have a certain knock. And It was that knock, eep !

I ran to my window and opened it quickly to be face to face with Matt. "Matt what's wrong?!" After he climbed in I was right by his side. "Matt come on, you can tell me. Right?"

I was wiping his cheeks, he's been crying and I'm gonna figure out why.

"I-I.." He sniffled. "My pa-parents and I go-got in a f-fight. I do-don't usually let it both-bother me b-but, they ca-called m-me n-names, th-they pushed me around, I'm pr-pretty sure I have brui-buises."

I looked at him and straddled his waist, wrapping my arms around him and pulling him closer to me. This is the only way I can hug him since I'm so tiny compared to him. But I'm not exactly skinny, I have my thickness, I'm just short and my hands are smaller and yeah.

His arms went around my waist and his head went in my neck. I put my head on his shoulder, taking in his sent. He smelt sweaty - which every one does tbh - but he smelt like fruit.

I giggled slightly to myself. "You can stay the night here if you want."

He just nodded and layed back pulling me with him.

3rd person pov -

The night consisted of cuddling, movies, and snacks. Anabelle always looked over at Matt whenever he laughed, even if it did only come out as a rough chuckle. She thought he was perfect.

His hair was half up and half down right now. His eyes were red from the salty tears that fell out of his eyes every once in a while.

Anabelle knew that his parents would end up pushing him around, hitting him, yelling at him.

They used to do it all the time when he was little.

Matt cuddled up to Belle's side and nuzzled his head in her neck taking in her sent. Maybe, his night would get better if he stayed with his best friend.

I know its short but I'm gonna end up making a biiiiig dramatic chapter. I'm working on it, I promiseee(:
