the complicated engagement - mattia p.

xvi. everything is fine

"hey tate, i got you some coffee," mattia said sitting down next to me handing me the cup.
"thanks," i mumbled.
"tate, its been a week. dont you think we should at least get a shower and some sleep," he explained getting up pulling on my arm gently.
"ugh, fine! but we are gonna be quick," i groaned getting and leaving a kiss on my dad's forehead.

we walked to the kayden's car and mattia drove towards the house as we listen to music. once we got to the house, i instantly let go a breath of air that i didnt know i was holding in. mattia walked towards our luggage that kayden left in the living room. we went to my room and put our stuff down.

"you want to take a nap?" mattia asked.
"yea.." i answered getting under the covers.
"ill be downstairs if you need me," he responded giving me a small smile starting to walk out.
"tia.." i mumbled making him turn around quick," can you please stay with me."
"oh, yea sure," he smiled and getting under the covers.

we laid there together not talking nor touching.
"im sorry, tia," i suddenly said facing towards him.
"what do you mean?" he asked facing towards me as well.
"im sorry that i dragged you into this-" i started but then got cut off by mattia.
"you did not drag me into this, i would have felt horrible if i was still in jersey knowing what you are going through," he explained.

i sat up, which also made mattia do it as well since he was confused.
"do you need a hug," mattia asked extending his arms out.
"yes please,"i replied with a smile falling into his arms.

we stayed in each others arms for an hour as we slowly fell asleep, until i got a call from my brother.
"hello?" i yawned rubbing my eyes.
"oh sorry did i wake you up?" kayden apologized.
"no, its fine. whats wrong?" i asked as i laid back down.
"the doctor told me dad should be up in an hour or two so," kayden started.
"um, ok. mattia and i are just gonna get ready, do you need anything?" i asked.
"food."
"ok," i giggled.

i auickly told mattia what kayden had just told me. so, mattia went to take a shower in the bathroom across the hall as i took a shower in my personal bathroom. after i got out, i quickly changed into a white hoodie with adidas sweatpants. i brushed my hair and applied some perfume. i brushed my teeth then walked put the room to find mattia sitting on my bed with a black hoodie and some black shorts. i went to my desk and put on mu glasses and slipped on my vans.

"i didnt know you wore glasses," mattia smiled getting up.
"yea, well contacts always seem to do the trick," i responded.

we walked out the house and got in the car. before mattia started to drive he grabbed my hand and placed it on his lap. mattia drove towards the pizza place and got two medium cheese pizzas and a liter of cherry pepsi.

"i couldve paid mattia," i turned towards him.
"you couldve, but was i going to let you," he answered.

once we got to the hospital, we went straight to my dads room. we walked in to kayden and dad talking.

"dad!" i exclaimed setting down the soda on the floor.
"hey, sweetie," he responded.
"how are you dad?" i asked sitting down on the chair next to him and holding his hand.
"im fine tate, did you just get back from new jersey," he asked.
"ive been here for a week now."
"so, you havent been to school?" he asked very concerned.
"dad, i havent but you know that i can make it up," i responded.

after a while, my father had to get some rest, so mattia and i went back to my house. we got home to find nessa, oaklynn, kio, bryce, and anthony sitting in the living room.
"hey guys," i greeted walking in.
"hey!" oaklynn and nessa jumped up and gave me a hug.

we all talked and watched 13 reasons why for while. just as everyone went home, i got a call.

"hello?"
