Don't Go Through Life Without Field Goals

Coming Home

"Matt? Oh, Matt! I'm so glad you're home!" I rapped my arms around him and he whenced. I backed up, whiping a stray tear away from my cheek. "Sorry. I forgot. How did you get here?"

"The nurse. . . Dropped me off." He choaked.

"I thought mom was coming to the hospital." I sniffed.

"I didn't. . . See her." He sqwenched his eyes and I took his hand, pulling him inside and shutting the door behind him.

"Are you okay?" I panicked.

"Fine. . . Just. . . A cramp." He sighed.

"Matt?" Nicole's sad voice called from behind me. I turned to see Nicole's face all red and tears were streaming down her face, one by one. She ran right into Matt's arms, passing me in the prosses, and Matt sniffed. They pulled away and looked into eachothers eyes.

"Matt don't cry." Nicole chuckled, sadly, and rubbed his right cheek with her left thumb. Matt had the saddest look on his face. It was, acctually, a mix between sadness and anger. Like he was angry at himself, but upset that the crash had happened. Then, he planted a kiss right on her lips. I just froze.

Now, normaly, I would have slapped one of them on the back of the head, or gaged. But, at that time, I just tried to stay strong. In those short seconds of them kissing, I felt, oddly, normal. I didn't feel discusted or grossed out. I felt happy. I guess Nicole and Matt dating isn't that bad. I mean, they're both happy, so shouldn't I be the same way?

"I love you." Matt told her. My head snapped up and my eyes went wide. I think my mouth even flew opened. That was the first time I had ever heard Matt say he loved someone.

"I love you, too." Nicole smiled. I rapped my arms around both of them.

"Aw! It's so sweet!" I yelled. We all laughed together for a while.

"I didn't think you were the romantic type." My brother ruffled my hair.

"I know! I thought she was going to hit us or something!" Nicole laughed.

"I think I can let it pass. Just this once." I whinked at my brother. He just smiled and gave Nicole a kiss on the cheek.
