Three Empty Words (S.M.)

chapter 5

*Matt's POV*

The thoughts that went through my head last night:

It was all her fault. The way she did everything was her fault. If she would have gotten control of Shawn, this never would have happened. If she would've just done the one thing she's good at and pestered him, i'd still be with Alicia and she wouldn't have a messed up nose.

That was pretty funny though.

We were in love and i totally understand that but that's not a reason to do what she did. But, i also understand that she would never have expected Shawn to expose us, because i didn't either. But, then again, he is dating that one chick, Ali, i think? This kids just full of surprises.

When i left Autumns last night, i went to the first person i thought of: Cameron. We've been off lately but i don't care, that's my man. I spilled everything to him when i got there and he had the nerve to ask me what i want. Like i know.

"Look, we were close back in the day when you and Autumn were a thing and-" I interrupted him.

"We weren't 'a thing', we were together, there's a difference."

He sighed and shook his head. "Focus, Matt." I nodded. "And i could tell that you guys really liked each other, that y'all were in love. She made a mistake and did something terrible and kissed somebody not worth her time-"

"She literally kissed your best friend," I butted-in.

"Matthew, shut up and don't ever talk again. Plus, Nash's blue eyes are insatiable." He fluttered his lashes.

I chuckled and then straightened my face, "Quit."

"Anyways, nothing even came from that. Plus you guys cheated on your significant others a year ago, as you told me."

"I never said the such. Her and Shawn were never a thing and Alicia and i had just begun." But still, we did cheat nonetheless.

He hitched his eyebrow up.

i sighed. Autumn's still my whole world and i would love to spoil her more than anything. I just want her on my arm again, to feel her touch. I want to see her throw her head back and laugh as she always does. I want to see her huge smile that always made me weak in my knees. I want to be the reason she does these things. I want her even more than i've ever wanted anybody, including Alicia. And it sucks seeing her give heart eyes to Shawn when she doesn't even know what she wants. But it just makes me want her even more. So, Cameron is right. I'm still deeply in love with her. And i know right now that i have to talk to her. That i have to let her know my true feelings. "Thanks, Cam. I appreciate the advice." I kissed him on the cheek. After realizing i kissed him, i drowned my mouth in milk.

I got home that night with a smile on my face. Autumns beauty surrounded my vision as i fell into a deep sleep.

*Autumn's POV*

I get to school and immediately regret it. There, standing right in the middle of my parking space, is Nash. The infamous Nash Grier. The one who broke me and Matt. Psychopath.

"Well, well, well," He says walking towards my car. "If it isn't Miss Fall." That stupid smirk, it's just so stupid, it doesn't even drive me crazy.

"Autumn, thank you though." He appears at my window. "I would appreciate it if you got out of my spot so, you know, i can actually graduate and become a successful human being, unlike some people." I look him up and down.

At first he looks offended, but it quickly fades into amusement. "Aww poor little princess having a bad morning." he puckers his lip.

i scoff, "Even if i was, it's not like it's any of your concern. Now bye bye." I shoo him away and, to my surprise, he listens.
