Forever and Always

Forever and Always: Chapter 8

“Eliza, you still haven’t told me why you skipped school, to go to the mall?” Matt asked, whilst watching ‘Pretty Little Liars’ on the TV.

Matt said ‘Pretty Little Liars was rubbish’ but I ignored him, and forced him to watch it! When I say force, I mean bend on my knees ad beg him to watch it! He gave in, after twenty minutes. I was so into this awesome show, Matt just took his phone out ad started texting, and when I turned my head to look at him, he would quickly drop his phone then pretend he’s have a clue what was going on, which made me laugh.

“I’ll tell you, let me just delete the voice message on the answering machine,” I replied, then got up moved over to the machine, and deleted the message, then jumped back on the sofa which made Matt jump up, back from the sofa. The expression on his face was priceless, I laughed at him, then Smack! A cushion landed on my face, which made me stumble back, I was not expecting that!

“Take that!” Matt teased.

“Oh it’s on!” I replied, I scrolled my sleeves up, to give a competitive look.

We ran behind the couch and, Matt shouted, ‘Go!’ and before we knew it, we were having a full on, pillow fight! Not one of my pillows, which I threw on Matt, landed on his face, but a dozen pillows had hit my face! It could be because, I was an easy target or because Matt was just too good or maybe both.  I shrieked several time, Matt just laughed and carried on. At one time, I ran upstairs to my room, and got three more pillows and started bombarding them on Matt, but he just dodged the pillows! My pillow supplies were running out! I hesitated, and started throwing random things that were nearby blankets, stuffed toys and my pink fluffy slippers. I surrendered, then waved my had frantically over my head and shouted,

“Stop, stop, I give up!”

“Already?” Matt said, his head tilted to one side, and gave me a look, which said, ‘I could go on all day!’

“Well not everyone is a professional pillow fighter, like you!”

“Well, I am a black belt on pillow fighting!” he boasted, which made me laugh.

Before Matt could reply, someone knocked on my front door. I gave a confused look to Matt. My mom wasn’t coming home until six and it’s only two o clock. My mum never forgot her keys, she was just too organised to forget anything unlike me. Well today could be the day, she forgot something and I would definitely tease her about it. I looked at my living room; I opened my mouth, in shock! My living room looked like a farmer told me if he could keep his animals in my house and I agreed, but there was no poop on the floor.

“We made a big mess!” Matt commented, ad picked up a few pillows from the floor and placed them on the sofa.

“You got that right! You don’t have to tidy, I’ll do it!”

My mom knocked on the door again, but now, a bit harshly, as if she did not have time to wait around. I forgot that my mom was at the door, so I leapt towards the door, and opened my door.  MY mouth gawked in shock and I dropped my pillow on the floor, too surprised at the person who was in front of me.

“Hello, you must be Eliza,” the gruff female voice spoke, she stood, her arms crossed over her chest.

I nodded my head, not a word came out, what was this going to mean, was Matt going to go jail?

“Eliza, who is it?” Matt questioned, I turned my head and gave him a ‘oh no’ look.

“That must be, Matt,” The cop said, I just nodded my head again, I looked back at Matt, and he was gone. Did he run away? Then all of sudden, Matt tapped me on the shoulder which made me jump.
