HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!

Chp 43

"And these eyes,
that for no other,
the day I see you in pain,
will cry a river."

MATTHEW'S POV

"Ohh fuck!" I muttered when I saw Kelly against the lockers

I quickly rushed to her and saw her crying and her face had a pained expression.

I think her period pain must have gotten really bad.

"Hey hey, precious. Are you okay?" I ask, concerned

"Do I look fucking okay?" she snaps

Wow that's like the first time I've ever heard her swear. The pain must be really bad.

"Come on, let's get you home." I say and help her stand up but she looses balance as soon as she's up on her legs

I sigh and pick her up in bridal style and take her to my car.

I make her sit on the passenger seat while I get onto the driver's.

"Ahh." Kelly screams in pain, clutching her stomach and the expression on her face broke my heart into pieces

I hold her hand and try to calm her and I know she's trying too, but it's not working.

I couldn't see her in so much pain and away from me so,

"Come here." I say and pull her onto my lap with her legs on the either side of my hips and her head buried in my chest

I know this is against the driving rules and it'll probably get me into shit load of trouble if the cops see me but I can't see her in so much pain.

"Relax, baby. Take deep breaths." I say rubbing her back with my one hand while the other one is on the steering wheel

She clutches my neck tight and buries her head in the crook of my neck while I hug her as tight as I can.

I could feel her tears down my neck and I felt so very helpless. She was in so much pain and I couldn't do anything to help her.

"I'm sorry, baby. I wish I could take away all your pain." I say as a few tears filled my eyes, shocking me

It's been 10 years since the last time I had tears in my eyes, but today, seeing precious in so much pain, I couldn't help it and I don't even know why and how.

"It's hurting, Matthew." Kelly manages to blurt out, making a lone tear fall down my cheeks

"I know, baby. I know." I say not knowing how I else I could to help her

She tightens her hold on me and I hold her tight against me.

I don't even know why I'm doing what I'm doing and I don't know if I would go the same if it was some other girl instead of Kelly. But it's all happening so naturally that I don't even stop myself.
The natural caring instinct comes out every time I see precious in any sort of problem or pain.

I was so furious when I found out that Jack had punched Kelly that I couldn't stop myself from going and beating the fuck outta that guy.

I wouldn't have stopped if it weren't for Kelly who calmed me down by just a small touch.

I don't know how but as soon as her hand touched my shoulder, I felt calm and realized the intensity of the situation.

I kept rubbing Kelly's back and trying to calm her until she finally fell asleep in my arms.

I still hold her tight against me, not wanting her to go away.

It was as if hugging her would transfer all her pain into me.

I wish that could happen.

I would take all her pain on me without a second thought and I don't even know why.

She's too precious to be going through this pain.

I pulled up at my parking lot and unbuckled my seat belt.

I picked up Kelly in bridal style and took her to my room.

I could've taken her to her apartment but my house was nearer to the school so I bought her here.

I lay her gently on my bed and tuck her in.

I wipe away her tears softy with my fingers and brush away her hair from the front of her eyes, gently.

She looked so at peace.

I hated that she had to go through all of the pain every month. I wish I could to something to stop it but I know there's nothing that I can do.

You can stay by her and help her go through the pain and relax her like you did today. My conscience butted in

I could do that.

You'd have to do it every month. My conscience pointed out.

Yeah I would have to but for some reason I'm willing to.
I want to be there to help her no matter what.

You guys aren't even friends. How on earth are you planning to be there with her every month? Conscience spoke, again

Right. I didn't think of that.

To be honest, I don't want to think about the future right now. All I want to do is be there for her now.

Why was Matt feeling those emotions?

Why was he in tears when Kelly was in pain?

What would happen when Kelly woke up and found herself in Matt's house?
