internet romance | matt watson x reader

thirteen

You were asleep when you pulled into your family's home. It was late.

Your brother shook you awake. "Help carry stuff in idiot!" Brandon exclaimed.

Yawning, you got out of your seat and began to help bring stuff into the rooms. You would be rooming with Casey and a few of your other female cousins in the basement.

They were all already asleep, your father had just carried Casey into the room and set up two beds. One for her and one for you.

"Night y/n." He said, exiting the large room.

You could hear soft snores coming from your cousins and sister, they were all passed out.

You texted Matt.

You gave him the address of your family home.

You put your phone down and stared at the ceiling.

What if he was lying and he was actually a 40 year old murderer.

Oh well, guess you're gonna die.

A surge of anxiety and excitement surged through you. You were gonna meet your internet friend! But how were you gonna get out was the question.

You created a plan with the 10 minutes you had, anxiety welling up until you heard your phone buzz

I'm here

You got out from under the blankets and crept over your cousins over to the big window that was cracked open for airflow.

You slipped through and your feet hit the dirt in the garden. You saw a tall boy, messy hair and glasses. Skinny jeans and a hoodie.

You walked over to him, he had a hoodie in his hand.

"Matt?" You whisper yelled.

"Y/N!" He exclaimed. Going in for a hug.

"Shhhhh, I don't want to get caught." You shushed him.

"Oh. Right. Sneaky." He said with a smirk.

You hugged yourself as a cool breeze hit you.

"Here's your hoodie you ordered." Matt said, handing you the white sweater.

It reeked of whatever deodorant Matt wore, you could tell it was well worn.

The front had THANK YOU in bold red letters, repeated over and over again. Until at the bottom it read have a nice day!

You slipped on the sweater and began to walk with Matt.

"You're taller than I expected." You commented.

"You're shorter than I expected." Matt replied.

You stuck out your tongue at him.

"Just telling the truth." Matt teased.

He lead you to a park where the two of you sat on swings. Swings that were too short for Matt's lanky legs.

And there. You began to talk.
