Escape
Chapter 51
***Matt's POV***
I went into the kitchen to begin making breakfast. Morgan made herself comfortable on the couch.
"Do you want some toast, or pancakes?" I asked, as she walked though the door way.
"Nope" I said popping the p. She had this look on her face, she looked mad but why? I tried not to show my expressions as she took a seat across the table from me. She didn't talk to me all of breakfast, I didn't really make an attempt to talk to her either. She just sat there with this blank look on her face.
After we finished eating, I decided to give Morgan some space. I didn't know what was best but more often than not when women get like this they want to be alone. Maybe is was that time of month, of something. I spent the day in the basement attempting to write lyrics for our new album. I got no where, the whole day had almost gone by and I had 1 line to a song and the floor around me was covered in crumpled up paper.
I started to walk up the stairs, as I pushed the door open I heard a familiar voice; Val. It can't be I thought. I was half way down the hallway when I heard her, I started to back up.
"MATTY!" She yelled as she ran up to me, jumped on me practically knocking me over. She crashed her lips onto mine, forcing her tongue into my mouth. What the fuck was she doing. What am I doing. I tired to push her off of me, but she was relentless. I kissed her back slightly hoping she would stop. It worked, out of the corner of my eye I saw a fuming Morgan, her eyes narrow, arms folded across her chest.
As I pulled away from the kiss I stared at Val, "What are you doing here?"
"You know what i'm doing here" Val replied in that flirty-girly voice she always had.
I looked over at Morgan, her face filled with sorrow, "Morgan it's not what it looks like" I pleaded, walking towards her
"Really" She snapped, "because it looks like you have another girlfriend."
"No I-" I began, but was cut off by Val.
"Matt you've been cheating on me?!" Val lied putting her hands to her mouth. How the hell was I going to get out of this now. I wasn't dating Val, I had broken up with her months ago.
"Fuck you" Morgan flipped me off Matt off as she ran out the door, slamming it hard behind her, causing some pictures to fall of the walls and crash to the ground. I started running towards the door when Val's hand caught my shoulder, "Let her run, she's nothing"
Her voice, was soft yet devilish. It sent shivers down my spine.
"Get the fuck away from me" I growled, shrugging her off before bolting out the door. Morgan was only at the end of the driveway
"Wait" I called after her, grabbing her arm lightly with my hand, "I don't know what Val's doing here I swe-"
"Save it Matt, I saw what I saw." She snarled, a few tears had begun to fall down her face.
"No, you didn't" I raised my voice.
"I saw you fucking make out with that girl" She smirked, staring into my eyes. For such a small girl she looked powerful as hell.
"She kissed me-" I yelled back in attempts to defend myself. I was furious, at Val but of course it seemed as though I was letting out my anger on Morgan.
"And you kissed her" She spoke softly.
"Morgan, I'm not cheating you I swear!" I yelled back.
"Stop fucking yelling at me" She raised her voice, the tears now streaming down her face. I couldn't control my anger.
"Why are you being so difficult!?" I growled, now I was mad at Morgan. I was so confused.
"Why are you fucking dating someone else!? Is our whole relationship a lie!? How long have you been dating her? Huh? Answer me that" She snapped.
"No!" I shouted.
I noticed a tear running down her face, so not thinking before I made the action, I brought my hand to her face and wiped it off. She then slapped me. Hard. It stung, badly. Her slap sent me backwards, I had to catch myself so I wouldn't fall over.
"Don't fucking touch me, jerk" She yelled.
"Morgan, please" I pleaded.
"No, and take back your fucking ring" She said as she threw the ring at my chest, "Some promise." She sighed sarcastically, "Give it to your precious little Val, I'm sure she's a lot better than I ever was"
This can't be happening. This must be a dream. The tears were streaming down my face now. Morgan was everything to meant, she meant everything to me. Why was this happening.
Morgan began to walk away as I chased after her, not wanting to let go. I grabbed her arm and she harshly yanked it away.
"Morgan, please ju-" I began.
She cut me off, which she probably had the right to do, "No, Matt the damage is done, have a nice life"
The words broke my heart. No, they shattered my heart into countless pieces. I stood there watching Morgan run down the road. The tears were running down my face one after another. I somberly walked back into the house. Val had already made herself comfortable on my couch, and was watching TV.
"So she's finally gone?" Val smirked.
I had nothing to say.
"We finally get some time alone" She grinned, walking up to me, placing her hands on my chest and gazing up into my eyes. I pushed her away immediately.
"Get out of my house, Val" I growled.
"Why? I just want to see you" She twirled a piece of hair in her finger.
"I already had one restraining order against you, don't think I won't get another. Get the fuck out of my house." I yelled. I had no mercy for her, not after what she just did to Morgan. Morgan doesn't deserve to think I cheated on her, she doesn't need that after all she's been through this summer.
"Matty, why are you being so mean?" Val fake frowned.
"Don't call me that and get out of my house." I said as I pushed her towards the front door. Once I got her on the front step, I slammed the door in her face. She banged on the door for what seemed like a half hour, before finally leaving. I went up to my room and began to cry hysterically. I hadn't cried like this in years. I wanted Morgan back. I loved her more than anything. I noticed my phone light up in my pocket, I had a text from... Val? Since when did I text her? And when did she have my number?
I opened up the conversation. My heart sank. I've been texting her for the past 2 weeks!? I thought I was texting Morgan. What the fuck. How was I going to explain this. I laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling, regret flooded my body, and had it not been for someone calling me I probably would have let my self drown.
It was Brian.
"Hello" I answered quietly, in a barley audible tone.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" He yelled at me. He knows about what happened obviously.
"Brian, you don't understand" I began.
"I understand what Morgan told me, how the hell could you do this to her?! To HER of all people, you know how much she's been though Matt." He was furious. He was right though, Morgan didn't deserve this.
"I didn't cheat on her" I mumbled, "Val just showed up and kissed me, and I kissed back for like 2 seconds, I don't know what came over me" I groaned at the last part, utterly regretting my decisions of that moment.
"What about the texts then?" Brian questioned. Morgan knew about those too, no wonder why she was giving me the cold shoulder this morning.
"I- I don't know, I replied to them without even looking at the name, I thought it was Morgan which is stupid of me."
"Yeah" He laughed.
"I fucked up badly" I sighed.
"Are you sure you didn't cheat on Morgan?" Brian asked again. No. 1 million times no.
"Brian, I swear on my life I didn't, I love Morgan more than anything, she's the best thing that's ever happened to me" I said sincerely, with more confidence in my voice.
"I'm gonna go try and talk to Morgan" He said slowly.
"Thank you" I said, hanging up the phone and laying back down on my bed. I fell asleep there in my clothes. I was too upset to do anything, I hadn't been this depressed in forever. It was horrible.
***Morgans POV***
I woke up the next morning, with Brian's arms still around me. As I shifted my position, to leave his grasp he moaned loudly before opening his eyes.
I just stayed quiet.
"Oh Morgan! I forgot you were here" Brian laughed groggily.
I laughed slightly, before getting up to change into my few clothes. Suddenly, the events of last night came back to me. Hitting me like a wall of bricks. I tried to stay strong and not let them effect me. Everything happens for a reason right?
"So are you going to talk to Matt today?" Brian asked as I walked back into the room.
"I guess so, I mean it can't hurt." I sighed.
"Good, I really want you guys to work things out" Brian smiled.
I smiled back. So did I.
I had a glass of water for breakfast. I was nervous, I didn't understand why. I guess I was just nervous about seeing Matt... Who know's what will happen.
Brian drove me over to Matt's house as soon as I was ready, he dropped me off so that I could have my time with Matt. I walked up to the door, taking as long as possible. Procrastination at its finest. I honestly wanted to run in the other direction but I had to do this, I was leaving in two days and I wanted to clear the air. I lightly knocked on the door, which opened momentarily.
I stood face to face with Matt.
I went into the kitchen to begin making breakfast. Morgan made herself comfortable on the couch.
"Do you want some toast, or pancakes?" I asked, as she walked though the door way.
"Nope" I said popping the p. She had this look on her face, she looked mad but why? I tried not to show my expressions as she took a seat across the table from me.
