My eyes open, I don't even know how many hours later and when they do, they dart around the room looking for anyone but the only person here is Matt.
Great. Suddenly my anger is back.
He's sat in the chair right beside my bed, staring at the wall on the left side of me, his thumb running along his bottom lip while his leg is bouncing up and down at a rapid rate. That's what woke me up.
His eyes are red and honestly, he looks like he's just got stoned and that's what I believe until I see a single tear fall from his eye and my own eyes widen.
"Are you crying?" I ask incredulously, in complete shock causing his head to snap to mine, quickly wiping away the tear that fell and standing up.
"No." He grunts and I roll my eyes.
"You were definitely crying." I tell him with a scoff. "That's the first time in my whole life I've seen you do that."
"Yeah. Whatever Ev."
"Wait. You were? Why?" I ask, my brain thinking over the things that would cause him of all people to display any sort of emotion when my eyes widen.
"Where's Aida? Is she okay?" I ask in a panic for the second time today.
"She's with my mom. Do you really think I'm that bad of a father that everytime something happens you immediately think there's something wrong with her?" Matt replies as he rests his back against the wall he was staring at just less than a minute ago.
"I don't think your a bad dad. She has health issues and shit. Of course that's my first thought. What other person would make you feel like that?" I counter.
"Nobody." He mutters.
"Well someone did and if it's not because of Aida then who? Is it your mom?" I ask and he shakes his head. "Your dad? Tiana? Is she okay? Did she crash her car again I swear. I told her she's not a good driver and she sti-"
"It's you Ev." He announces quietly and that damn heart rate monitor is ratting me out right now because my pulse just went from seventy six to eighty nine real fucking fast.
"Me?" I ask in confusion, silently praying that stupid monitor would shut the fuck up for a second.
"Yes you, you idiot." He sighs.
"But you said you didn't ca-"
"I know what I said but we both know that's the furthest thing from the truth." He adds and now I'm confused because i didn't know it wasn't the truth, I genuinely thought it was.
"You can't do that shit again Ev. We can't do that shit again. We can't go into burning buildings while we're pissed at eachother." He huffs.
"We're always pissed at eachother." I counter and he rolls his eyes again.
