PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO ASK YOUR QUESTIONS FOR THE Q&A IN THE LAST CHAPTER. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

Matthew Gray

"You still haven't told me what happened?" Justin spoke up.

I wiped my fresh tears away and wanted to scream, scream for help. The burning desire in my throat made me feel nothing but angry, still I tried to push that to the side.

Justin didn't deserve me. I was just a little baby who was overreacting about everything. I shouldn't be sad about it even though all of it became too much for me to handle.

I deserved all the bad that came my way.

My eyes connected with his forest green ones and in that immediate moment, my heart skipped a beat for him.

He was so inhumanly beautiful.

The soft blonde hair was perfectly styled again and his orbs were brighter than ever. A wide smile was upon his red cherry lips.

I wanted to kiss them so bad.

"I walked into Ryan making out with my ex best friend Jack" I simply answered, not in the mood to explain the whole story with details.

"Huh? What is so wrong about that Matt?" Justin asked and frowned confused.

"What.. What do you mean?" I also frowned then and broke our warm embrace to sit up.

I already felt like an empty box without his warmth and love around me no more.

"Well.. I think I can understand that you feel betrayed, but Matty.. You don't choose who you fall in love with. What if he is a good boy? Maybe he has changed.. I also did that for you" Justin explained further and took my hand in his, intertwining our fingers together.

After that, everything fell into its place like some sort of puzzle that had to be solved.

He made his point clear. Jack could be a different person. Maybe he was so against Rain and I, because he was struggling with his own identity in that moment and I was so dumb not to see that.

Could that have been it?

God, I feel so stupid and selfish right now. I could've prevented all this if I looked further into Jack and his feelings.

But I was just being my selfish self, like I always did.

"You're right, but I don't think I can fix this with Ryan. He probably hates me right now, who wouldn't hate me?" I sighed and looked away in shame.

His warm hands cupped my cheek, almost making me blush from the psychical contact. Butterflies flew everywhere around us.

"Matthew, nobody hates you. Ryan loves you okay? And I care about you. Don't let yourself down like this, you are worth it. People make mistakes. It's what makes us human" He said as he looked deep into my eyes, letting me drown in his nature eyes.

A pair of soft lips was placed onto mine. The same sparks and fireworks that he gave me found its way in my stomach again. I hummed at how careful and delicate he was kissing me, as if he was afraid to break me. He brought me to cloud nine, away from this earth.
