Tough Love [Matthew Espinosa] *Editing* (On Hold)

Chapter 11

"Matt! Stop!" I yelled while laughing. Matt was currently chasing me down the beach. He had a bucket full of ice cold sea water attempting to splash it on me. If he succeeds, he's gonna be in a world of hurt. I giggled to myself.

"I'm gonna catch you, Alex!" He yelled behind me with a laugh. I squealed in fear as I could hear him inching closer. Shit. Shit. Shit.

Before I knew I felt the icy water attack my back. I squealed again and turned around to tackle Matt who abandon his bucket running in the other direction.

As I chased Matt down I glanced over to see Abby and Shawn, who had came with us, laughing at our actions. I got close enough to Matt to leap onto his back. He stumbled before straightening and continuing to run with me on his back.

"You were suppose to fall!" I proclaimed to Matt who didn't go down. Not even close.

"Your not strong enough to take Mattchew down!" He yelled pumping his fist in the air almost dropping me.

I swung my leg down connecting it with his shin making him stumble forward into the sand ahead of him. I fell with him onto his back.

"What was that 'Mattchew'?" I asked looking down with an evil grin. He looked at me with a sand covered face.

***

I seized my laughing fit from a previous joke Shawn had made at the driver seat with Abby by his side leaving me and Matt in the back. I was looking through my notifications one caught my eye. This doesn't happen much since just recently Matt told his fans about us. I read the tweet and there was a pang in my chest.

@MattsBasic:
Is Matt cheating on Alex?
*photo attached*

The photo was a picture of Matt with his arm around a girl at Starbucks. She defiantly wasn't a fan. Because I knew her.

"Something wrong?" Matt asked noticing my hurt expression.

"N-no. Nothing at all." I stuttered pulling a fake smile onto my face. He seemed to consider asking otherwise but he just nodded his head and continued his conversation with Shawn.

I stared at the photo not knowing what to believe. This girl was an old friend. I haven't spoken to her in months.

Gina was her name.

We use to be best friends, but then she got all pretty and popular thinking she was too good for anyone else. We both had the same dreams. Her's turned into a modeling career.

I would never model. I mean, I guess I have the body, but I'd rather have follow my own dream. honestly it's probably a stupid dream to you.

I wanna be a youtuber. Always have. I wanna entertain people with my game play. I love to play video games. I just wanna be a big girl gamer. Get up there with Pewdiepie and them ya know?

Besides that, I think me and Matt need to talk.

"Hey babe?" I asked for Matt as I sat in his room.

"Yeah?"

"Have you checked Twitter recently?" I asked.

"Uhh..Yeah"

"So you probably know what I'm talking about?" I questioned.

"I promise we were just talking Alex." he said dropping his head back.

"You seem annoyed." I stated

"That's because I am!" I seriously can just talk to other girl without getting my ass grilled!" Matt yelled with anger scaring me a little.

"I was just curious Matthew! Why are you yelling at me? This isn't like you!" I yelled back. This is our first real fight an I'm not sure how it's gonna end.

"Nobody knows me, Alex! I'm a blank book. I writer down my own stories! My own actions! I don't want to be controlled!" He yelled louder.

"I just don't want to lose you!" I yelled tears filling my eyes. Matt's facial expression softened as he walked over to me.

"Alex I-"

"No. Just stop. I'm gonna go home. See how Andy is. Don't text or call." I turned around and walked out the door. I ran to my car. Once I got in the vehicle I just cried. I cried until there was nothing left.

***

Andy has been no where to be seen. in starting to get worried. He hasn't been around since mom left recently. I honestly wish she didn't leave. When dad first left back when I was six, Andy did the same thing. He just shut down and never talked.

He won't answer my calls. I'm just worried that he's gonna do something he will regret.

A/N: Hey, loves! This is a sucky chappie isn't it? Well I tried. its way past my bed time and my eyes are burning from the light from my phone. but hey! I'm gonna try to make the next chappie nice and long. (I was trying to be British. I've always wanted to be British. I'm just a bloody American)
