Tough Love [Matthew Espinosa] *Editing* (On Hold)

Chapter 7

I woke up with thoughts running through my head about Matt. He makes me so happy. I hope I make him happy, too. I want him to realize how much I love him. We had a great time at the fair last night. He drove me to his house and we slept together. I know what your thinking.

No. We didn't have sex.

We just slept in the same bed together. I've been spending a lot of time at his house. My mom decided to move. She didn't really care what I did she just didn't like LA anymore so she left me.

I don't know where she went. She hadn't really talked to me since she told me the news about her moving. Honestly, I was pretty upset. She didn't seem to care that she was leaving me and Andy behind. I haven't seen Andy in a while, come to think of it.

All I know is that he's been staying home occasionally and going out with friends. I don't know how he feels about Mom leaving us. He won't talk about it so I guess he's upset. I mean, who wouldn't be?

I was snapped out of my thoughts of Matt, as I saw him walking into the room. He still had bed head. His hair was down instead of up in its usual quiff. He smiled at me. My stomach fluttered as I gave him a small smile back.

"Morning, babe." He said with a groggy voice walking over to me. Instead of replying with words, I just nod. He sat on the bed next to me picking up my legs and draping them over his lap. He leaned in and kissed me lightly. He pulled away looking like he was going to say something, but I spoke first.

"So, what do you want to do today? Cuddle and watch movies?" I laughed.

He hummed, "That sounds good, but I wanted to go out today. I'm gonna hang out with Hayes. He's in town for awhile and I haven't seen him forever."

"Oh, okay." I said. I was a little disappointed. I wanted him to have fun though. I really wanted Matt to comfort me all day cause I wasn't feeling well. What I mean by that is that for some odd reason I'm getting the urge to cut again. I don't want to, but there's an urge. If he were to stay with me then that would prevent me from doing anything.

"He just texted me that he'll be here any minute." Matt said sliding his phone back into his pocket. After a moment, there was a faint noise of a knock from down stairs. Matt got up and I followed. Once we got downstairs, we walked over to the door. Matt open the door and there stood Hayes.

"Hey, bud." Matt said nudging Hayes.

"Hey." Hayes replied with a nudge back. Matt turned to me.

"I'll see ya later, babe." He said leaning down and kissing me, and with that he was out the door.

I decided to just lay on Matt's bed under his covers. His scent helped with the urge of wanting to cut. It makes me feel like he's here with me. I love being with him. I could spend everyday with him and not get tired of it.

I watched movie after movie on Netflix occasionally checking Twitter and Instagram. I don't think Matt has even told his fans about us or not. I don't know if I should be upset about that or not. I'm really tempted to just tell them myself. I have a cute picture of Matt and I kissing. He's holding me bridle style and leaning down kissing my lips. I could post that right? I sighed. I really wanted to post it cause I love that picture. I took a deep breath and texted him.

Me- Hey babe? Can I post this? I really love it. *One image attached*

After a moment it showed he was typing.

Matt- One sec, babe.

I was confused. Did he not want me to? Was he avoiding it? After a few minutes my phone buzzed with a Twitter notification. I looked at the screen.

"Twitter: @TheMattEspinosa tagged you in a photo."

My heart caught in my throat as it kept buzzing from people favoriting, revining, and tweeting about the photo.

I opened up the notification from the photo. There was the tweet from Matt.

"@TheMattEspinosa: I've kept a secret from you guys. This is my wonderful girlfriend of over 5 months. I hope u love her like I do. @AlexBuchanan11 *Image Attached*"

My eyes filled with tears as I saw the picture I wanted to post. I saw a few nice tweets and some bad. There were a few questioning Matt about why he waited over five months to tell about us. He responded to one:

"@TheMattEspinosa: .@mattsnipple because someone that special is worth the wait."

I smiled as I favorited and retweeted the nice tweets. I retweeted the picture that Matt posted of us. I changed my icon to that picture also. After a few minutes of me having my icon like that, Matt changed his to the picture of us too. I smiled to myself. I couldn't wait till he gets home.

After about two hours of me calming down about Matt tweeting his fans about us, I decided to go hang out with my friends. So I texted Abby and Emily and now we're here together at Starbucks. We all got a caramel frappé.

"Why is Matt just now telling his fans about you?" Abby asked as I took a sip of my drink. "Like, you guys have been together for over five months."

"I don't know, and I don't care. I'm just glad he did." I replied, setting dowm my caramel frap. I felt my phone vibrate on the table. I looked at it and there was a text from Andy. I've missed him. We haven't talked for weeks.

Andy- How ya been sis?

Me- Good. I miss ya.

I locked my phone and sat it down. I picked my frap back up and took a sip. Abby, Emily, and I just made small talk together while sipping on our drinks.
