Mattia left the shop after Kairi payed for his sisters shoes, he took both boxes and agreed to take them back to my room. I still had about an hour left of my shift but luckily after about 5:00pm the customers would die down leaving all of us to relax. I couldn't help but notice Diego and Austin were getting quite close to each other, socially and physically...You: I see you Austinnnn
Diego: Huh?
They were holding hands, wether it was romantically or friendly; I was invested as fuck.
Austin: What we gonna do then?
You: Idk, we have like an hour left, right?
Diego: Yeah, I wanna learn more about you actually
He went on to ask me questions about my life in London and how I first met Mattia. I wasn't exactly bothered with him asking these questions; I mean after all he is Mattia's older cousin so he should have the right to know.
Diego: Ooo say something in your accent
You: What do you want me to say?
He kept telling me things to repeat so I did just that.
You: Okay Austin, Diego, what's happening between you two?
Austin: Ask Diego
Diego: I-
You: Spit it out, your secret is safe with me anyway
Diego: I don't even know, but whatever happens, happens
You: True
I say shrugging my shoulders. I could tell he felt uncomfortable so I stopped asking him about it. We decided to close the store early since nobody really came in after 5:00pm anyway. My shift soon ended so I grabbed my phone and went into the back to collect my belongings, swiftly walking into the restroom to get changed out of my uniform and into my outside clothes. I walk out from the restroom back into the front of the store to clock out and hand my uniform to Austin since it was wash day.
Austin: Trinity, you have mascara stains on your hoodie
He pointed to my sleeves where there were two huge black-stained marks on my beige coloured hoodie.
You: I didn't even realise lol
Austin: You okay, we can talk if you want
You: Nah it was just over something silly, it's no big deal
I say shrugging my shoulders. I wanted to tell him but I knew if I started to explain, I would start crying again and I really couldn't be bothered.
Diego: I'll lock up so you two can leave early
Austin: Aww thank you baby
You: Baby?! Okay chile-
We had some small talk and eventually I left the store, putting in my earphones to walk back 'home'. I told Mattia that I'd walk home just to catch some fresh air and get some exercise, to which he agreed to since I couldn't just keep relying on him to take me places.
iMessage
Mattia: Wassup?
You: Walking back from work ✌🏽
Mattia: How long will you be...
You: About 5 mins
Mattia: See you then❤️
SeenI play my music from my playlist and quicken my pace hoping to get back faster. I hadn't even thought about what I would have for dinner but thought it would probably be organised later; I missed homemade food and I was getting extremely bored of fast food, I would rather starve at this point than try and survive on microwave meals. I saw a few familiar faces of people I saw around school but just walked past them without making any contact. I walk up the few stairs that lead up to the double doors of the school, unlocking them and locking them behind me; walking towards my room. Elexa and I had both agreed that I would have the room since she basically lived at Ale's house anyway but she was always welcome to stay if she wanted. I unlock the door to my room where I'm met with Mattia setting up his phone to do a Tiktok; I decided to join, doing the dance which was eventually posted on his Tiktok.
Mattia: Did you make it back safe?
You: Yeah, what you been up to?
Mattia: I dropped Kairi off but since then I've just been chilling, was work good?
You: It was manageable. Mattia, is Diego straight?
Mattia: Yeah I'm pretty sure, why'd you ask?
You: When you two left, Diego and Austin were getting hella close, like, HELLA close
Mattia: Oh shit, fr?
You: Mhm!
I took my coat off, hanging it on the door and taking my shoes off to sit on my bed. We chatted for some time, talking about anything that crossed our minds. I decided to tell Mattia about Triggz and to no surprise he was pissed.
Mattia: They're actually disgusting
You: I mean, it is what it is I guess
Mattia: No it's not. They lucky they live in London.
I guess I still had some 'thinking' to do, it's not exactly my fault for thinking that being abused or being used as an object was ordinary. I hadn't always had this mindset but since my relationship with Jahvon, I was basically brainwashed into thinking that it was the new normal and completely when he did unexplainable things to me.
You: Imma get changed into my pyjamas
Mattia: Yeah I'll do the same. Are you washing your clothes today?
You: Yeah, do you have any dirty clothes?
Mattia: I have loads...
He handed me a pile of clothes, placing his t shirt and basketball shorts he wore today. The smell of cologne and weed filled my nostrils, causing my nose to twitch unintentionally. I walk out of room, grabbing my dirty clothes on the way out to the wash room. I placed mine and Mattia's clothes into the washing machine, pouring the detergent into the washer and turning it on. I skip back into my room in excitement after reminding myself that I was about to get dicked the fuck downnnn!
Mattia: What you tryna do then?
He said in his naturally seductive voice.
You: You're in control...

FanficI was Mattia's best friend for over a year, the only difference was that I lived in South London; home to drugs, gangs and stabbings. I decided to run away from London to New Jersey with my best friend who was coincidentally best friends with Alejan...
