Escape

Chapter 46

The day faded away, we all stayed down at the beach for a while. It was nice just spending time with them, they were all so funny and fun to be around. Considering, I had no one before this I would probably grateful for anyone who talked to me.

Eventually we all went to bed. I slept with Matt as usual. He held me close to him and I fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.

I woke up before him, quickly changed before going downstairs. I was debating about whether or not I was going to sit inside or outside today, but then I realized I have to go back to my house in Andover. It's probably a mess. I have to bite the bullet and go back as much as I don't want to because I've never stayed at the beach house in the winter and honestly I miss my own bed.

"Well look who's up!" Matt announced as he walked down the staircase.

"Hey" I half smiled.

"So.." His voice trailed off.

"Soho?" I joked.

"Ruby?" I laughed.

"Ruby soho?" He repeated.

"Destination Unknown: Ruby Soho" I laughed, quoting the lyrics by Rancid.

"Oh you" he shook his head, "so seriously what are we doing today?"

"Going back to my house" I stated quickly.

"What...why?" Matt asked sounding confused.

"I have to go back there sooner or later and besides I want to see how the police and stuff left it" I sighed.

"You don't have to do this" Matt said as he grabbed both of my hands.

"Yes, I do so I might as well get it done now" I said unenthusiasticly, "besides I want to see... If Andrew did anything"

"Okay" Matt whispered.

"W-will you go there with me?" I stuttered. I wanted to go but I couldn't go alone. I was scared just thinking about it.

"I'll be with you every step of the way" Matt reassured me.

"Thanks.." I said shyly as I looked down at my hands.

Matt quickly wrappe his arms around me before placing a loving kiss on my lips.

"I love you" He whispered sweetly.

I sat there while he made himself breakfast. None of the guys had even come down yet, I guess it was still too early.

"So when should we go?" Matt asked as he shoved the last bite of ceral into his mouth.

"When your done, I guess" I bit my bottom lip, something I had always done when I was nervous.

"Well then lets go, who's driving?"

"I will"

We hopped into my car and I drove off towards Andover. My hands were tense on the steering wheel it was making my knuckles turn white. I'm so anxious. Matt must of noticed as he placed a hand on my thigh and gently rubbed it. He didn't say anything, his touch was more comforting than any words could ever be.

I pulled into my long drive way and in front of the unfortunately familiar house. Matt got out first and opened my side of the car for me. I cautiously hopped out, he wrapped his arm around my waste and held me close to him.

I walked up the stairs when suddenly my legs wouldn't let me go any farther. I was telling my self to move but I physically couldn't. I didn't realize how traumatized I was.

"M-Matt, I don't know if I can go any farther" I whispered, concern all over my voice.

"It's okay" he cooed.
