1001 Love Stories Darker

High Pt. 2

Matt's POV

He held me last night.

Not like before, no he held me like the thought of me leaving scared him.

It felt amazing.

It was a warmth I never noticed as I pried myself from John's grip.

Then the thought hit me.

He wasn't John.

I loved John, I always will, but I was never in love with him and I think I'm falling for him.

I woke up in bed alone and my eyes instantly go to the night stand out of force of habit.

But instead of money, coke, needles. There was tea and a little note.

I smiled before pulling it close to me.

It read simply.

You're so much more beautiful then you'll ever know

I loved the feeling that came along with it. I only smiled picking up the cold tea and sipping it.

So this is what it means to be happy.

But I had a plan.

I got out of bed opening the drewers and clothes, looking for clothes I could fit well.

I smiled when I opened a chest seeing clothes that were significantly smaller.

I smiled to myself before grabbing something to wear and getting dressed.

I guess these were the back before he realized that gym could be a life style.

But with that I leave and head off.

Today's plan was spring cleaning.

I opened the door before walking in and smiling to Frank.

As to be expected he wasn't happy to see me.

"What do you want Matt?" He said and for a moment I paused thinking back to Todd.

Was this really what I wanted.

Yep.

"I'm quiting." I tell him and he smirks.

"Sure you are."

"No really I'm quiting. That being said. If I break if I come crawling back here for more then have your men take me outback and beat me."

I say and he smiles at the chance.

"And as for John?"

"John's moved on, he's got a new thing and could care less about me." I tell him honestly.

"Then what keeps me from having your ass kicked right now." I only crack a smile.

"Nothing." I say confident that if course that's what was gonna happen next.

Is was a miracle that I made it back to his place, knocking on the door before my body completely gave out.

Jt opened and I could tell for a few seconds he was pissed but then only picked me up like a small child carrying me inside.

"What the hell happened to you?" He said slightly scared and I only smile.

"You know, I wonder if this is how Chris feels, I know John treats him so gently too. I bet he loves him too. So it doesn't make me selfish." I tell him honestly and he only smiles.

"No it doesn't make you selfish. It's not selfish to want the love someone's offering." He says and I only smile more as he sits me on the bed talking off the dirty and blood stained clothesl.
