Escape
Chapter 46
*** Matt's POV***
I walked out of the room and into the bustling hallway. I walked down the corridor until I came to a quite spot. I pulled out my phone and dialed Brian's number.
"Hello?" Brian answered.
"Hey Brian, uhm I just wanted to call and tell you that I'm at the hospital-"
"WHAT!? Is Morgan okay? Are you okay?"
"No, Yeah we're all fine. She pulled some stitches."
"What'd you do to her?" Brian replied smugly.
"Ha ha very funny, I didn't do anything to her"
The line was silent for a little before I finally said, 'Well I have to go but I just wanted you guys to know."
"Thanks man, we might swing over later… or I might at least." Brian said before he hung up.
I stood with my back against the wall for a little while, staring at the ceiling. There was an elevator next to me that seemed to open constantly. A myriad of people walked through, first some who were happy, some who were sad, some who were mad. It varied. I stood there in my thoughts until I heard a voice behind me, "Matt, exactly the person I want to see" Reynolds greeted me.
"Hi" I replied, no emotion in my voice.
"Would you mind joining me in my office for a moment?" He asked.
"Of course" I replied as we walked down the hallway to his vaguely familiar office.
"So, how do you think Morgan is recovering?" Reynolds asked me.
"Good I-i guess… I mean besides today she seemed a little.. more like herself…" I replied not sure what to say. Morgan seemed fine physically, I mean she had her problems but the real issue was mentally. She was so depressed, but she hid it so well, having dealt with a phase of depression myself I could tell. I can see right through her fake smile.
"Well that's good, have you been noticing any odd behaviors?" Reynolds continued.
"Uhm.. she seems tense at times… and anxious.. and nervous" I replied honestly, recalling earlier that day and the other night when she cried on my shoulder.
"Ah yes, all part of having gone through a traumatic situation." Reynolds nodded, "Does she seem, okay emotionally?"
"No" I stated blatantly.
"No?"
I just nodded my head, suddenly regretting what I had said.
"Why?" He persisted.
I sat there for a moment debating about what to say. I wanted Morgan to trust me, I was the only one who knew about her scars and suicide attempts. I didn't want Reynolds to march back into the room with anti-depressants. I also loved Morgan though and wanted to do what's best for her.
"Well she… I guess she just seems sad, and worried a lot.." I replied slowly trying to cover up.
"Oh, well if she goes into a state of depression call me immediately, because that's very serious." Reynolds replied.
"Right" I nodded, hiding my lying.
"Well thats all for now, good luck!" Reynolds, said as he got up and left the office. I got up shortly after him and walked back towards Morgans room.
"Hey, beautiful" I greeted her, walking quickly up to the bed side.
"Hey yourself" She smiled back at me.
She was flawless. Her hair fell perfectly around her face and down her shoulders. Her eyes were this beautiful grayish blue violet color. They were magnificent. She's magnificent. I bent down to her level and pulled his into a quick kiss, entangling my hands in her hair. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me closer. I slowly moved my tongue over her bottom lip, as she played with my lip ring. I moaned out in pleasure, I loved when she did that. I pulled away looking deeply into her eyes, she was smiling and let out a small laugh.
I climbed gently onto the bed with her, she brought her body close to mine and rested her head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arm around her and rested it on her waste. She played with my necklace, I just watched her.
***Morgan's POV***
Dr. Reynolds eventually left and I then it was me and the hospital room. I stared at the ceiling as minutes past. The sky was turning to dark, another day gone. I soon heard the door open as Matt walked through it, his smile growing as he saw me. I could feel a smile growing on my face as well.
"Hey beautiful" He sang.
"Hey yourself" I replied as he leaned over me, gazing at my face. He pulled me into a kiss, which sent shivers down my spine and all through out my body, I never wanted it so end.
He pulled away before climbing into the bed next to me. I rested my head on his shoulder and played with his necklace.
"So, did you call Brian?" I mumbled.
"Yeah, he was worried at first" Matt replied.
"Oh, anything else happen?" I asked, trying to keep the conversation alive.
"Dr. Reynolds talked to me.."
"About what?"
"You"
"Why?"
"He wanted my opinion on how you were doing" Matt sighed.
"What'd you say?"
"That you were doing better… but-"
"But what?" I asked curiously, sitting up slightly.
"But he also asked me how you were doing emotionally… like in terms of if you were depressed or not…" Matt explained carefully.
"and, what did you say?" I whispered nervously.
"Nothing, I just said you seemed nervous a lot… when he brought up depression I didn't say anything"
"Oh my god thank you so much" I said throwing my arms around him and kissing the side of his face by his ear quickly.
"Am I the only one who knows?" Matt asked referring to my self harm and suicide attempts.
"No" I sighed, lowering myself back onto his shoulder, "You're the only one… I don't really want anyone knowing either"
"Then no one has to know, it's our secret, just between you and me." Matt smiled.
"Thank you" I sighed.
The night dwindled away. I soon fell asleep in Matt's arms and later woke up to the nurse taking out my IV.
"Dr.Reynolds said you can go" Matt smiled as he grabbed my hand.
He helped me get out of the bed and into the bathroom, guiding me the entire way. I was in barley any pain but his company was nice. He helped me out of the gowns and into my normal clothes.
We left as fast as we could and headed home to my beach house.
Matt opened my door and helped me out of the car, he guided me up to the front door as I walked in.
"Welcome home!" Brian greeted me as he pulled me into a gentle hug.
"Hey, I missed you" I squeaked, his hugs were nice, they made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
I walked into the kitchen to where the rest of the guys were sitting,
"Hey Morgan, how was the hospital?" Zacky greeted me.
"It was magical, just my favorite place in the world" I teased sarcastically.
"Well, we're glad you're home, we wouldn't want you having too much fun" Jimmy said sincerely.
"God forbid" Zacky laughed.
I grabbed myself some water and sat down at the table with them. We talked for what seemed forever while Brian and Matt did god knows what.
***Matt's POV***
Brian started following behind Morgan when I pulled his arm back.
"Brian" I yelled in a whisper.
"What?" He asked.
I brought him into a room next to the stairs that was far enough away from the kitchen.
"Morgan's birthday is a week from today" I said anxiously, trying to keep my voice down.
"So?"
"So I want to do something special for her.." I sighed.
"When's her birthday?"
"July 31st"
"You have the same birthday?" Brian laughed.
"Yeah... coincidence." I chuckled, "But seriously what should I do for her?"
"You're coming to me for ideas?" Brian said sounding shocked.
"Yeah, I mean you hang out with her a lot..." I admitted.
Brian nodded his head, as he looked down at the floor.
"I just... I don't know she deserves so much more than I can give her..." I sighed, racking my brain for ideas.
"How about you take her out to a restaurant or something.. do something romantic with her, girls like that shit" Brian smirked.
I laughed slightly at his comment, as I thought of different places I could bring her and things I could do with her.
"I think I have an idea..." I mused.
"Good, now lets get in the kitchen before they get suspicious" Brian snickered, swiftly walking out of the room.
I stood there thinking of places I could bring Morgan, when it finally hit me. I knew exactly where to go, I just hoped she would like it. Morgan deserved the whole fucking world, she deserved everything but I clearly couldn't give her that, so hopefully my idea of a special date will be good enough.
***Morgan's POV***
I continued talking to Johnny, Jimmy and Zacky about various things when Brian walked through the door.
"Where the fuck were you?" Johnny laughed.
"Talking to Matt" Brian sighed, as he pulled up a chair next to me.
"About what?" I questioned nervously.
"Nothing for you to worry about" Brian said as he tapped the top of my nose with his callused finger.
What were they talking about though?
Matt soon walked in, he sat down next to me and grabbed my hand. We all sat around the table, talking, laughing, enjoying each others presence. It was truly awesome.
