His Bestfriend.

chapter five

KATEYS POV:

When I woke up Matt was still sleeping. I smiled as he was lightly snoring. I was debating with myself on whether I should let him sleep, or wake him up. I felt very selfish making him stay with me. I don't know exactly why, but I was scared to be home alone. I didn't used to be, it just sort of happened all the sudden.

I stood up and walked downstairs, letting Matthew sleep. It was 6:00 in the morning, and I was still sleepy, but once I'm up... there is no way I'm going back to sleep. I walked into the kitchen and started up the coffee maker. I made myself a cup of coffee, and put a cup down on the countertop, so matt could have coffee when he wakes up. I sat there at the kitchen table sipping the steaming hot coffee and looking out the window. There was a blizzard going on, and it didn't look like it was gonna die down anytime soon. I stared out the window for about 15 minutes before I got bored and went into the family room.

I was freezing in my house, so I grabbed a knit blanket, cuddled up on the couch and turned on the television. The only good show on at the moment was 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air' so I quietly watched it for about an hour and a half.

At about 7:45 I decided to go take a shower so I wouldn't smell gross when Matt woke up. In the shower, I thought about how ridiculous I was being. How the hell was I gonna date Matt? We tried once and it didn't work. It's just weird. I like him. But do I like him in that way? I do. I most certainly do. I always have. Deep down, I always have. I turned off the shower and stepped out into the steamy bathroom. I put my hair up into a towel, and wrapped a towel around my body. I wiped off the mirror a bit, so I could see my reflection. I didn't have any makeup running down my face, because I never put any on yesterday, so I opened the bathroom door and walked out into the freezing hallway.

I quickly walked into my room, where Matt was sound asleep and tried to be as quiet as possible. I was opening my closet to pull out a shirt when Matt woke up.

"Katey..." He said, "What time is it?"

"Around 8:00," I replied. He sat up and saw me in my towel.

"Do you want me to leave so you can get dressed?" He asked.

"No, I'm fine... As long as you close your eyes, or turn around." I answered. He put his hands over his eyes add smiled. I wasn't planning on leaving today, so I pulled out an oversized t-shirt and put it on. Then I put on a clean pair of underwear, and took my hair out form the towel.

I quietly walked over to Matt and sat down in his lap. He uncovered his eyes and smiled.

"I should probably take a shower too," he told me.

"How about in five minutes," I replied as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and pulled him down onto the bed, so we were both lying down. I kissed him gently, and somehow it turned into a five minute make out session... I'll spare the details.

"I'll make you some coffee," I said as I sat up.

"Okay, thank you!" He replied. I stood up to leave and he grabbed my hand. I turned around and he was staring at my arm.

I forgot.

I forgot about my cuts.

"Matt-"

"Why didn't you tell me?" He interrupted.

"I completely forgot," I explained, " besides, I've been clean for 3 months! These are scars. They are old don't worry."

He pulled me closer and kissed my scars.

"Don't ever harm yourself again," he said to me, "I love you."

MATTS POV:

I've wanted to say that for the longest time. It finally came out! I felt like it was the right moment. But at the same time, I felt as if it was too early. Yikes. What did I do?
