~Cause when the night falls my lonely heart calls,

Oh I wanna dance with somebody, I wanna feel the heat with somebody

Yeah I wanna dance with somebody, with somebody who loves me~

STILL MATTYS POV

After last night I had a wierd feeling in my stomach, it wasn't necassarliy fear nor an uneasy feeling. It was more a strange pleasent feeling.

Skylar was still sleeping when I woke up, which didn't surprise me since she had a rough night. I figured I should leave her a note and go grab some food since there was barely any here. I scribbled onto a sticky note 'Went to get food be back soon, Matty xx'.

As I bounded down the front steps towards my car I had this bubbling feeling, I just couldn't explain it. I was so happy just to know she was okay. The simple idea of knowing I made her happy, made me estatic. I loved her so much.

I thought a lot about this on the car ride to the store. It feels so good to be there for someone. To feek needed, in this hell of a world. It's like the small spark that can keep up a roaring fire. It seems impossible to some, but it happens. It's amazing. It's like whenever I'm around her, I get so nervous yet so excited. I just couldn't describe the way my mind just fell apart. I felt like I was jumping off a cliff heart first, and it was the best feeling in the world.

I ran in and grabbed some random food, I really wanted to get back to Skylar's. I don't like leaving her by herself. On the way back to her house I checked my phone to see if she called or texted me, but there was nothing there. The roads weren't very busy, the sun was shining hard onto the pavement. There was a corner up ahead that had two crosses placed into the ground. I'm an atheist, but there's still something about seeing this place of death almost everyday. I find it weird how people reminisce all the time yet believe in God. If you believe people are still living on in heaven or hell or wherever, then why are you so distraught over losing people on Earth? I just don't understand.

When I got back to Skylar's she was already awake. I smiled seeing her beautiful face. She made me so happy, I just hope I could make her feel the same way.

As soon as I walked in she came over and hugged me, really tightly. It was suprising and it made my day.

"Hello love, how'd you sleep?" I asked as she released and smiled at me. She was so gorgeous.

"Good, thank you for last night by the way. I really appreciate it." I nodded. I wasn't really sure what else to say.

"So I grabbed some food, and I figured after we could go see a movie or something like that?"

"Yeah, that sounds great." She gave me a smile, and we decided to make pancakes.

After we ate, Skylar went to get ready for the day.

When she came out of the bathroom she had on a mint green sun dress, with a gold necklace hanging low. Her hair was in a messy bun (her trademark) with her bangs swept to the side. She didn't have too much makeup which I liked best.

"You look stunning love." I smiled because this made her smile and look away.

"Thanks Matty." She gave me a kiss on the cheek and I could feel my face redden. How could he hurt her? She's so fragile and perfect. "Shall we?" Apparently while I was mesmerized she had already gotten her sandals on and her bag.

"Oh, yes." She giggled as she noticed me staring.

We took my car and picked out going to the movies. On the way there she pulled out her pack and lit a cigarette. She was still gorgeous, even while she was slowly destroying herself. It seems a bit ironic, if you ask me. Beautiful people can been seen doing the most awful things to themselves, but they're still beautiful. Then when people see them doing awful things to others we kind of wake up and realize that it's not beautiful anymore. I guess that's why we let people hurt us so much. We adore them, we're blinded by our love for people that we can't see how much they're breaking us down.

"What?" She laughed, I guess I was staring again.

"Nothing, just looking."

"Why? You've seen me for like three days straight. I'd get sick of myself by now." I laughed a bit at this. She was beautiful, funny, smart. Yet she's not mine. Keep that in mind Matt, but wait... She is single now right? Isn't it okay to flirt with her? No. I need to stay a good distance and just be a good friend for her.

"I don't know, I just... I don't know love. Somethin' about you."

From there the car ride was quiet for another 15 minutes until she put on the radio. Oh great, another one of my own songs, I thought as I heard the fimilar chords of Heart Out. The volume wasn't completly loud so I could hear a small voice to my right. It was Skylar singing along. I laughed a little too hard at this.

"What?" She laughed even harder than I did. "It's a good song!"

"Well I would hope so!" We both laughed the rest of the way there, it was a great start to the day.

When we got there we got our tickets and popcorn, and found our screen room. There was only a few other people in the theater which made us laugh too hard. You could tell we were the loudest couple there.

About halfway through the movie, which was so sappy love story, Skylar spilled her popcorn all down the seats in front of us. The manager came in and said we were being too disruptive and "he's afraid he has to ask us to leave." That just made us laugh louder.

We went home and sat in and ordered out. I know it didn't seem like much but it was a perfect day, with the perfect girl.

Then the day took a turn for the worst, when we heard a loud bang on the front door. Skylar got a worried look as I got up and walked over to the door slowly. I could feel the color drain from my face as I opened it to see Doug and a girl I did not recognize standing in front of me.
