Escape

Chapter 36

***Matt's POV***

I sat in the driveway with my hands on the steering wheel. Out of the corner of my eye I could see one I the cops walkin over to me. I rolled down the window.

"Well we found him, he was hiding in one of the spare rooms" The officer explained.

"Oh okay" I said trying to sound optimistic. Morgan was on my mind though. I was worried. I was scared. I just wanted to hold her in my arms and kiss her head. I wanted to smell the fresh smell of her perfume. I wanted to run my fingers through her hand. Thoughts of want flooded my mind. Then the worst thought came, what if that was the last time I would ever see Morgan. No. No. No. I told myself.

"Yeah, well anyways I hope everything works out between you and your girlfriend. No one deserved this" the officer said as he placed a hand on my shoulder before walking away.

I sat in the driveway for a couple minutes longer. Morgans jeep smelt like her perfume. It was soothing. I looked around and in the console she had a number of mix tapes along with different sticky notes. Most of which were reminders to do homework assignments. One was a reminder to send in her application for college, which suddenly made me remember, she was going to Northeastern in the fall. Who know's what will happen in the time between then.

I picked up one of the CD cases, on the front there was a abstract design with a quote in the middle;

"The future is unwritten"

Below it was the name Joe Strummer. On the bottom right corner it was signed by her.

"Wow" I whispered to myself with a smile on my face, she's an amazing artist.

I picked up another CD case, which had the same design with a different quote that read;

"It's not really my problem if they think I'm weird" -Sid Vicious.

Both of the CD's consisted of songs from bands like, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Rancid, Bad Religion, Ramones, The Misfits, Sham 69, Social Distortion, The Exploited, some other punk bands and of course, Avenged Sevenfold.

After I finished lookin at the CD's I put one in the player and drove off while listening to the Sex Pistols:

I've seen you in the mirror when the story began

And I fell in love with you I love your mortal sin

Your brains are locked away but I love your company

I only ever leave you when you got no money

I got no emotions for anybody else

You better understand I'm in love with myself,

Myself, my beautiful self

no feelings

I drove through the pouring rain back towards Morgans beach house which was the next town over.

I pushed through the front door, the guys were where I had left them.

The guys eyes widened as they looked at me. I was still stained in blood from Morgan's wounds.

"What the hell happened?" Brian asked, his face turning a pale shade.

I sat down in a chair and explained the story to them, beginning to end. They all had the same reactions: they were shocked and wanted to beat the shit out of Andrew. They were quite pleased when I told them that he was taken away in handcuffs.

"Well should we go see Morgan?" Jimmy asked.

"I'd love to but they might not let us in" I sighed.
