Why like this? (Matthew Espinosa)

The fight.

I saw Matt texting someone on his phone I kinda brushed it off because it wasn't important. That was until I realized who it was.

Tina.

Big freakin shocker. One of the texts said

'Yeah sure. We can hang out later:)' it was from Matt.

I pulled away from Matt and sat a couple feet away from him.

"I should go. Bye Matt" I mumbled leaving the room. I don't even think he noticed. I grabbed my stuff and jogged down the stairs.

"Taylor" Cameron said running over to me. I looked up and a smile grew on my face I as hugged Cameron.

"I've missed you" I said.

"Back at you. Where are you going? Matt leaves this on Monday of next week I would of thought you would have wanted to see him as much as possible" he frowned.

I looked him in the eyes "he didn't even notice I left the room. He's texting that bitch again." I said.

"It's probably nothing Taylor. Don't worry about it. Do you wanna hang out?" He asked.

"Sure. You can come to my apartment with me." I smiled.

"Alright. And don't worry about it" he said pushing my cheeks together.

I laughed. "C'mon. I'm ready" I said jumping.

"Sucks doesn't it" he said. He ran to his room and came down with his jacket.

We arrived at my apartment.

"It's nice. Are you gonna live here forever. In a small boring town with nothing to do?" He asked.

"No. When my mom gets back she's gonna help me find an apartment and then I'm leaving and moving to Cali." I smiled.

"That's awesome" he shoved me a little.

"Yeah. It's for my job. I'm just renting. It's not a forever kinda deal."

"True"

About halfway through the movie we were watching Cameron got a phone call.

I kept watching the movie.

"Hey Tay. I gotta go. I'll see you later" he kissed my cheek and left.

"Bye" I yelled to him.

I turned off the movie and started picking everything up. I heard a knock on my front door. I walked over and saw Matt.

"Why the hell didn't you tell me you were leaving" he said.

"I did. You were to busy texting Tina" I replied.

"Oh shut up. You don't know anything about that. So don't even bring it up alright." He started yelling at me.

"No Matt. It's not okay. I try spending time with you before you leave. Before I leave. God. But all you want to do it text a girl you promised me you didn't talk to anymore" I said.

"Whatever. It's not like you have anywhere to be while were hanging out. That's probably why your so chill with it. Why you want to do it so badly. That's fine. I mean. Your only friends are leaving you to travel the world and you decide to stay here and work on school Taylor. Your gonna have nobody. Nobody is gonna be here for you. Nobody for you to spend time with. I mean. Your mom is in Costa Rica. Your dad is who knows where. And well your brother is at college. Gracie is leaving with Carter. Nash, Cameron, and I are all leaving. I can't believe how stupid you are thinking it's better to stay here then have the support you need. I mean. You almost killed yourself once. Jesus Taylor. But what you don't know is nobody is gonna be here this time. You'll be alone. Your just gonna die. That's why I wanted you to come. So I could be the boyfriend I needed to be." He said yelling at me at some points. I was in tears. I tried not showing them.

"Thanks Matt. You just made me feel so much damn better. YOUR GONNA LET THE FAME GET TO YOU. It happens to everyone. It slowly picks at you and you become a self centered asshole. That's what happens. God. I'm more than happy for you. But I just feel school is always going to come first. It will. No matter what. And trust me. I'm moving to California Matt. I'm barley ever gonna see you. So. I wish you luck" I cried. I could see the hurt in his eyes. "Oh yeah. And let's not forget your the reason I did that in the first place. You and Tina. I almost died. You would have been happier huh" I said. I was in tears. My shirt was went and I probably had makeup all over the place.

"That's not what I meant." He mumbled.

"Well that's how it came out" I said.

"And I will not change because if the fame. Trust me. Because you would know Taylor. It's not like you ever have been before." he raised his voice.

"Really Matt? REALLY. I DONT KNOW. MY DAD BECAME AN ASSHOLE THATS WHY HES NOT AROUND. HE BECAME FAMOUS. My mom didn't want jack and I around him. You don't know my past. You left me as soon as your friends showed up." I said wiping my face.

He raised his hand as I flinched and backed away. I had my eyes shut but slowly opened them as he slapped me across the face.

I broke down in tears. The tears running over the sharp sting on my face made the pain worse.

I looked up to see Matt was gone.
