Betrayed

~2~

The picture above is Safya

I woke up just like any other day, well that's what I thought. Today was different. For once Matt woke up before me. I got up and threw some clothes on. I was wearing a white over sized button up shirt and black skinny jeans. I brushed my hair and threw on some eye shadow. I begin to walk into the living room when I see Matt in the kitchen and he's cooking?! 

"Good morning beautiful. Did you sleep okay?" He asks me

"Yea but why are you cooking. Shouldn't it be me?" I ask him stepping closer. Trying to take over.

"No." He says, finally turning to look at my face. "Oh baby, look at your face. ..." He says as he lowers the spatula he had in his hand. "Look Safya I'm so sorry I did that to you. Please go sit down. I'm going to start cooking breakfast from now on. I want to get sober and stay that way."

"Oh really?" I say as a grin starts to grow on my face. I was so blinded and I was really trusting him. For the first time in my life I felt like he really wanted to change and be there for me.

"Hey Ty had called me last night and wanted me to come babysit for him this weekend. Is that okay,?" I asked him. I really wanna go. I haven't seen my nieces in months. They were so little. I haven't seen Ty or Natalia in years. I was at their wedding but I wasn't allowed to stay longer than the ceremony. I really just miss them.

"Of course! I'm going to start changing. I cut you off from your family because they all thought I was a bad person and I want to show them I'm not anymore. That I wanna be the man your family wants for you." He says with a grin as he continues to cook breakfast.

"Great! I'll go call Ty and let him know I'll be over later tonight." I say jumping up in excitement. Ty was my only brother and I was his only sister. After Lyndsey. 

Lyndsey was Ty's twin sister and she died in a car crash with some of her friends about four years ago. Her and Ty were so close it was sickening. But that day Ty was with his friends. She told him it was okay to go and that she was going to have a girls day. Little did any of us know that would be the last time we saw her. After that night Ty began drinking a lot. He was never big on alcohol, actually he hated the taste but he was drinking every day almost all day. He got really over protective of me though. i was the only family he had left and he was going to protect me no matter what. I knew he didn't like Matt but I did and that was all he cared about. My brother wanted me happy as much as I wanted him happy so when I heard he was alcohol free and getting married I was super excited. He married Natalia last spring and he has adopted her two daughters as his own. 

"Hey Safya breakfast is ready. Do you wanna come in here and eat with me?" He asked. "We can watch Netflix." I nodded my head yes and I walk to the couch. I pull out my phone and start to text Ty. 

"Hey I need you to call me when you get a chance please and thank you." and send. 

"Hey I text my brother I'm waiting on him to call anyways what do you wanna watch?" I asked 

"don't care you pick." He says sitting down handing me my plate. We ended up watching 'Say Yes To The Dress' and that's when it happened. He looked at me and grabbed my plate, sitting it down on the table. 

"Safya?" He asked, grabbing my hands softly. "I've been thinking for a while and after last night I seen that I need to change. You have been with me for a while now and I wanted to know..." He continued as he slid off the couch and onto one knee. He pulled a box out of his pocket and looked up at me. He let go of my other hand and opened the box. "I have put you through so much and I want to change for you so will you do the me the honor of being my wife. So Safya will you marry me?" 

My first thought was yes I didn't even think of what this would cause. What my family wold think, what my friends would think. How do I tell them about this. I guess the best place to start is tell Natalia and ask her for help telling my brother. "Yes!" I said. And that was the start of the worst fight I've ever had in my life....
