Worth it |Mattia Polibio

Part 27

Jordon pov

" he won't let you stay over night, so there's no point in asking him," I told mattia whilst sitting in my hospital bed.

" it wouldn't hurt to ask," he said shrugging. My dad walked in a few seconds later, " hey can I-"

" nope," dad cut him off straight away and when I saw Mattia frown I almost laughed.

" but you didn't even know what I was going to ask," mattia said standing up.

" it doesn't matter, the answer is still no," dad told him nonchalantly. He looked over at me, " here I bought you some clothes to change into before we leave," and he handed me a bag.

I looked at him confused, " Leave? Why,where am I going?"

" home," he answered.

I furrowed my eyebrows, " I can't leave yet, you know I go home on Mondays,"

They both looked at me funnily, " Jordon it is Monday today," mattia reminded me.

I thought about it for a little bit and I still couldn't believe that it was already Monday today, " are you sure?"

They both nodded and Mattia took his phone out of his pocket to show me the date.

" are you feeling alright?" Dad asked looking at me concerned.

I rubbed my head and stood up, " yeah, yeah. I just forgot," I said laughing it off,as if it were no big deal. I picked my clothes up and walked into the toilet connected to my room.

I started pacing around inside and I palmed my face. How could I forget it was Monday today? How did I not realise that?

I changed quickly and walked out of the toilet. Both Mattia and dad stopped talking abruptly which made me think they were talking about me.

" you ready?" He asked and I nodded. We all went downstairs and got into dads car. I noticed how he didn't drop off Mattia and we were heading straight home.

" are you not going home?" I asked him, and he shook his head.

" I wanted to stay with you for a little bit," he said to me and I smiled.

" are you sure? You've been spending a lot of time with me lately. Your parents don't mind do they?" I asked.

It obviously felt nice having Mattia around most of the time. But I felt as if maybe I was taking up too much of his time. He'd go school and he'd come to see me straight after. Except on the days he had practice, on those days we'd FaceTime. I felt like I was taking up a lot of his family time.

He shook his head and held my hand, " they understand Jordon, they don't have a problem with it," he said to me, whilst making small circles at the back of my hand with his thumb.

We got to the house and we all went inside, dad went upstairs and started getting ready for work.

" is he letting you stay over?" I asked mattia, because that was really shocking.

Mattia smiled and nodded, " yep,"

Dad came down a few minutes later, " ok I'll see you later," he said kissing my head, " I'm lifting the rule for a little while because Mattia kept insisting on wanting to stay over." He looked over at mattia, " you better behave yourself and not try anything you understand?"

Mattia pursed his lips and nodded. Dad still looked regretful of his decision but he shook it off. He put on his shoes and walked out of the house.

Mattia closed the door behind him and turned to me, smiling a little," so what'd you wanna do?"

I was really tired for some reason and I really couldn't be bothered doing anything, " could we just chill and watch a film or something?" I asked him.
