A huge paragraph was made when Matt explained everything to Mae. It took me a while to think but it kind of turned out to be more than I expected. Oops. Anyways, Happy New Years. SMILE, BECAUSE YOU MADE IT THROUGH. YOU'VE CONQUERED THE OBSTACLES AND THE CHALLENGES AND NOW YOU'RE STILL ALIVE, TO START A NEW YEAR. MAKE IT COUNT!

~Mae's POV~

I woke up by the vibration of my phone on the nightstand beside my bed. I rolled my body to the other side, with my eyes still closed, and tried to find my phone. I finally have my phone in my hands and try to press the accept button. My eyes were still close. I'm too lazy to open them. I successfully answered the phone call, put it beside me ear and went back to the position I was in before when I was still sleeping.

"Hey, Mae," say a guy voice through the phone.

"Who is this?" I ask.

"It's Nash," he replies.

Mae: Oh hey. What's up?

Nash: Nothing really, you?

Mae: Lying in bed and talking to you. Why did you call?

Nash: I was just wondering if you'd like to hang out sometime.

Mae: Like a date?

Nash: If you want.

Mae: Can we just do a friendly hangout thing? I just got out of relationship and I don't really want to be in another one yet. I hope that's alright?

Nash: Yeah, that's alright. I get it.

Mae: I'm really sorry.

Nash: No, it's absolutely fine. How about we hang out tomorrow?

Mae: Yeah, absolutely.

We continue talking for about 30 minutes, with my eyes still close, talking about random things. Did you know that he's homeschooled?

Anyways, our talked need to come to an end. We both exchange our goodbyes and hang up. I felt an arm pulled me closer to them and I snuggled up closer to Adrian.

"Good morning babe," I heard him say but it's not Adrian's voice.

I opened my eyes and looked up. I panted as I saw Matt above me. I try pulling away and get out of bed but I was stop by his strong grip. I move my shoulders, trying to loosen his grip on me but it didn't work.

"Matthew, you're hurting me," I whimpered in his chest.

He loosened his grip a bit but his still holding me. I have my head up from his chest and I don't want to rest it in there again. I couldn't believe that I slept with him the whole night last night. I couldn't believe that I slept in his bare chest.

Sweats in my body began coming out. My heart was beating rapidly. I don't know what to do. He tried making eye contact with me but I dodged it. I'm nervous, I don't know why. My eyes were trembling. My hands and my jaw are shaking. My breathing was not steady. What was happening to me?

He began moving closer to my face and before he could connect our lips, I turned my face on the side. Instead, he kissed my cheek, a weak kiss. He pulled away and took a deep breath.

"Mae, please just hear me out," he pleased and I nodded my head.

I thought about everything last night before I go to bed. Maybe I do need him to explain what happened. I mean, yeah sure they kissed but I don't know anything about what they felt when they did. His explanation will either fix everything or will ruin it even more. But I have to see. I'll just take it all in even though it hurts. But if his explanation really fixed this situation my trust on him still won't be the same like it used to be. I can't trust him that fast. He needs to work for that to take it all back.
