It took me around 10 minutes to get there but when i got there the house was a lot bigger than i expected it to be. I rand the doorbell ignoring the comment of letting myself in and moments later i found matt wearing sweatpants and a black sweatshirt with a white crown and messy brown hair that stuck up. Heck he was cute but i was not going to admit it to myself or anyone else. Plus me and him were totally different.
"Hi." I said stubbornly. I couldnt let him know that i had a tiny bit of feelings for him. The thing is i hated him but i was attracted to him. I hated myself for having
"Hey" he replied. "Come in." He said.
I was a little uncomfortable since it was my first day being lab partners with him and i was already going into his house. The house was bit and a lot neater than what i expected it to be. There was a huge living room with a tv and it made me wonder if he had parents. He les me past the kitchen and up the stairs where i saw three rooms. He les me to the one in the middle which looked like it could be a guest room.
"This is my room" matt said. I wondered why he didnt take the master room.
"Where are your parents..?" I asked. I saw him go stiff and i immediately regretted asking the question and i wanted to slap myself.
"Its okay if you dont want to say anything." I blurted out.
"No its fine." He sighed. he seemed annoyed or angry or sad or a mixture of all three. He looked frustrated and i felt bad. He didnt seem like the type of kid to be a loser. He looked more like if he talked he could actually be one of the popular kids but i guess he preferred to be quiet.
"I dont have parents." He sounded angry.
I looked over at him and his eyes wouldn't meet mine. "I- i.. dont know what to say." I stammered.
"Its fine." He snapped but his expression immediately changed moments later realized he snapped.
"Sorry."
"Its okay."
"No its not im over here being a bitch and we just started talking today. Its not fine" he argued. I looked over at his eyes that finally met mine. We stared at each other for a moment and right there i knew we had something. Something special. I knew he felt it too. I looked away not knowing what to say. When we held eyes, i saw they were full of hate. Hate, sadness, hurt. I wanted to hug him but i couldnt bring myself to do anything.
"My parents were murdered. I dont exactly know what happened just that one day when i was 8 my grandma came to pick me up from school and took me home to pack up all my belongings and took me to her place. I didnt know that was the last time i was going to go home. My grandpa had passed away due to oldness and when i was 11, my grandma passed away and i was all alone. I didn't want to go tell anyone and i didnt want to be in foster care. I ran away. And here i am." His eyes had a faraway look.
"Matt.."
"No. Dont say your sorry. And im not going to say its okay because its not." He pulled the roots of his hair frustratedly. " im sorry you have to be here and i have to be your partner."
"Matt its okay. Its going to be okay. Look. I don't care if we met today. I don't care. Im here for you. You know all those kids at school that hate you. Ignore them."
"I cant." He said emotionless but deep in me i knew that he was hurt and he wanted to cry and that he needed someone special. "You can only stay strong for a certain amount of time. And then you burst. And its over. Just like that. "
It hurt me to see him like this. I knew that feeling when you felt like no one was here for you and i hated seeing him like this. I loved him. I didnt care if we just met. I was going to help him get through this.
"Abigail."
"Yeah?"
" I saw your scars."
"I have cats." I looked up at him. I stared at him seriously.
"Abigail."
"Yes?"
"I have cats too." He stared at me but i didnt know what to say. "Matt your worth it. Your here for a reason."
"so are you." I weakly smiled.
"I have to go its late. Just write anything random about me. Guess. Im sorry we ran out of time." I said standing up and grabbing my bag.
"okay" matt replied. I walked over to his bedroom door and opened it.
"Abby?"
I turned around.
"Smile." I lightly smiled. "Okay."
