Skylars POV

I didn't remember falling asleep last night. In fact when I woke up I was a little scared because I didnt really remember where I was supposed to be. It took me a minute, then everything started coming back to me, except backwards. I remembered laying here with Matty, and then him picking me up. Then I remembered Doug. I remembered out fight and everything he said and did. An electric shock went through my body and I shivered.

I went looking through my bag for my phone to check my messages. I had a text from Doug, and a text from Kate.

Doug: Hey. dropped off a surprise at your apartment this morning but you weren't there. guess I'll talk to you later.

Pathetic. He always expected me to just up and forgive him everytime we get in a bad fight. It's sad actually.

Kate: Doug's at my place if you were wondering... said you guys got in a fight last night. you okay?

I almost replied saying no, I'm not okay I had to hide from the guy who's supposed to be protecting me. I had to run away to a guys house who I met yesterday, and stay hidden from my fears. My mother always told me to face my fears. She said that was the only way to hide them from everyone. Ironic huh?

I noticed that it was already 11 am. I had slept a lot longer than usual. My alarm had apparently gone off a while ago. I had set it so I could get up and get ready to meet Matt today. I wondered where he was anyway considering this is his house.

I got up and found a bathroom where I changed into the clothes I had thrown in my bag last night. When I came out I saw Matty standing in the kitchen with a bag of McDonalds. He smiled at me, in which I returned and walked over to him.

"Thanks for letting me stay here, I really appriciate it." I said looking away kind of embarressed. He must of thought I was crazy, all of a sudden calling him asking him to stay at his place when I only knew him a day.

He nodded at me and smiled. "I got you a Mcmuffin because I didn't know what you like and I have like no food here, soooo here ya go." he said handing me the sandwhich and smiling ever so greatly. His eyes looked so forgiving, it made me feel strangly at home.

"Thank you." I said sitting down on a bar stool at an island in the kitchen. He pulled out his own and sat next to me. We ate in silence as time dragged on, and I began to think about what I was doing. I was sitting at a famous singers house eating McDonalds with him, after he came and saved me from my own thoughts. Occasionally he would look at his phone, and I wondered if he was waiting on someone and I was becoming a responsiblity.

"So we're still hanging out right?" He said with a hopeful glint in his eye. I laughed at his question.

"Of course we are." I said playfully punching his arm. He pretended to fall over and rubbed his arm which made me laugh. "I have to finish getting ready and then we can head out to the book store, and then where ever you'd like." He smiled at this and threw out our wrappers.

"Sounds lovely," He said grinning me, "Do you want to shower at all?"

"Uhm... I can probably just do it tonight, as long as you don't think I smell awful." He pinched his nose and glared at me as if he smelled rotting eggs. "Oh I guess I'll shower then." I said winking. It felt so normal to be with him.

"Nah I'm kidding you can wait, as long as you promise that we are going to hang out tomorrow too." He said pointing at me, still grinning ear to ear. I loved this relationship, I wished mine could be like this. Everything would be easier, but of course. Things couldn't stay this way.
