Fate Exposed
Chapter 3
We walked until we arrived at the hotel. I wanted to see what Brian had in store for me. Brian kept his arm around me as we walked through the grand lobby. It was fancy, I had stayed at this hotel once with my parents. Thinking of them made me feel a pang of sadness to my heart. I hated that. I could be perfectly happy then out of no where, they come to my mind and I'm sad. It sucks cause sometimes I would be remembering a good time I had with them, but then that moment of reminiscing would end in a few tears or of course sadness. Brian and I eventually made our way up to his room. He slid his room key in the door and let me in first, I walked to the other end of the room. No Matt. In a way I was happy but I still wanted to see him…
"This is for you" Brian said as he handed my my journal.
"Oh gosh, thank you! Where was it?" I asked him. This actually was a nice surprise, my journal was basically part of me. I wrote in it as much as I could and it was full of, well, me and with all the stress I've been under lately I've been craving to write in it.
"At Matt's house as you thought" Brian smirked, as he sat down on the bed.
"Oh, well thank you so-" I began to thank him when I noticed a piece of paper sticking out of the middle of the book, "What's this?" I asked, pulling it out. I never put papers in my journal. I looked at the paper folded into three pieces, on the front it said To Morgan, With much love from Matt. My skipped about 5 beats. What did he write me? I looked up at Brian who was sitting on the bed staring off into space. I opened the letter, and began to read it. Matt's thoughtful yet sad words brought tears to my eyes. The letter was basically him, pouring out his feelings to me and saying sorry. He was being so harsh on himself, saying he's a bad boyfriend and that he doesn't deserve me. In reality, he's an amazing boyfriend and we had 1 fight. I continued reading through the letter, absorbing all it had to say. The middle made me laugh, he told me how he had read my journal. I didn't mind as much as I thought I would though. I trusted him with the information and he knew most of it anyways. Out of all the people in the world who could have read that journal I'm glad that it was him. I eventually finished reading after what seemed like forever.
Brian looked up at me as he heard the sound of paper folding. I put the note into my folder and wiped the strangling tears from my eyes.
"So…" Brian said, "What's going to happen between you and Matt"
"I need to talk to him…" I sighed.
"Why don't you call him?" Brian suggested.
"I want to talk to him face to face… It's more… I don't know… real that way" I explained.
Brian nodded.
"I just don't know when I'm going to be able to go to Huntington, with school and all" I admitted. I had no time anymore, college had eaten up my life. Almost every second of my life was spent doing school work.
"Just come back with me when I go back" Brian suggested as he rubbed the back of his neck.
I stood awkwardly in front of him, shifting my weight, thinking about what I could do.
"I can't, not with school at least. When you go back will you tell him that I'm going out for thanksgiving."
"Of course" Brian smiled, "Now why don't we go take a stroll through Boston?"
I nodded my head, as he got up off the bed.
"Shall we?" He offered my his arm.
"We shall" I laughed.
Brian and I spent the day walking through the city of Boston. It was beautiful in the fall. I gave him a tour of my favorite parts of the city. The best part about Boston is that it's so small you can walk from one end of the city to the other in a matter of minutes. I brought him to Fenway Park, The North End, Faneuil Hall, The Boston Commons, basically all the places I would go with my parents when we came to Boston. And to top it all off, we ended the day at my favorite restaurant; The Hard Rock Cafe.
"Table for 2" Brian responded to the waitress who asked how many people were in our party. She brought us to a table and gave us menu's along with drinks. Brian ordered a beer and I ordered a pale ale, which made me think of Matt who loves pale ale.
"Hey you're Synyster Gates" The waitor observed.
"Hey, it is" Brian spoke rhetorically, causing me to laugh slightly.
"I love your band man, I'm really excited for the new album" This guy was obviously a fan. Brian listened to all he had to say before replying genuinely, "Thank you, that means a lot… It really does"
Brian took a picture with the waiter and signed a napkin for him before he took our orders. Before the waiter left he asked us, "So are you two dating?"
I was quick to reply with "no", Possibly a little to quick but I didn't want rumors to start.
"Yeah we're just friends" Brian added.
"Well you make a handsome couple" The waiter said as he walked away. I could feel my face reddening, and Brian's was turning five shades of pink as well.
"Well this is nice, I've been living off of Ramen Noodles for the past month" I laughed.
Brian laughed as well.
Once our food was eaten, Brian paid for the meal and we left. We began walking back to the Northeastern Campus. It was already dark out, and the moon was shining bright over the city. I hadn't seen it that bright since the day I was in the alleyway when Matt found me. Today all my thoughts seemed to be somehow connected to Matt and it was really starting to annoy me.
We arrived at my dorm room, I opened the door and let Brian in. I had forgotten one crucial piece of information though; My roommate was a die hard avenged sevenfold fan and she was sitting on her bed as she walked in.
As my eyes met her's I suddenly realized the mistake I might of just made. She sat there, not screaming, just silently, her eyes wide, and her mouth open in a perfect 'O'
"Brian, this is Josephine, but you can call her Josie" I introduced him to her, "And Josie you already know who this is." They shook hands and I stood on my tiptoes to whisper in Brian's ear, "She's a really big fan"
Brian just laughed, "I can see that"
Josie eventually snapped out of her daze and Brian signed numerous posters as I sat on my bed and did my homework. Brian and I talked about various things, Josie watched when she thought we weren't looking.
It got to be around 9pm when Brian finally said he had to leave. He gave me a huge hug and waved at Josie as he left.
I went to sleep a couple hours later. The thoughts of Matt wouldn't leave my mind. I give up, I'm surrendering, I have to talk to him. I pulled out my phone and sent him a text,
I love your letter and I love you and this is an even wimpier way to talk you :)
I stared at my phone as the time ticked away.
9:30
9:40
10:00
Then finally at 10:00 I got a reply, it said
I'm glad :) I love you too. I guess it's better that we're wimps together, how about we save the whole making up thing for when we see each other in person?
My heart was racing and my hands were shaking. I replied quickly
:) I guess. That sounds like a good plan… how about we just talk for now?
I hit reply and eagerly waited for a response, I felt like I was in high school all over again and I was texting my crush.
I would love that, how about I call you? ;)
I texted back quickly,
Sounds good :)
I went out into the barren hall way and paced up and down waiting for Matt to call. I leaned against my wall in my black and red plaid pajamas and an old Red Sox sweatshirt. Finally, after what seemed like forever my phone vibrated and Matt's picture showed up on the screen.
"Hi" I answered nervously.
"Morgan, oh god I missed your voice" Matt gushed.
I felt a tear running down my face, then another, and another.
"I missed your voice too" I said, trying to hide the fact that I was crying.
"Morgan, please don't cry, why are you crying?" Matt asked nervously.
"Who said I was crying" I attempted to hide it.
"Don't play that game with me, I know when you're crying" Matt teased.
It was true though, I had cried around him A LOT.
"Okay fine…" I mumbled as I found a place to sit at the top of a staircase.
"So why are you crying, my love?" Matt said in his charming voice.
"I don't know, I just… missed your voice.." I spoke to him, "I missed you" I whispered.
"I miss you more than you can ever imagine" Matt said sincerely, "So how have you been?" He asked.
Matt and I began a normal conversation. I told him how college was, explaining almost every detail of it. I talked about how my roommate it a die hard avenged sevenfold fan. I talked about how I loved being in the city but it made me think of my parents. Then it was Matt's turn to talk, he told me about the album and how it was going. He talked about how lonely he was without me and how things in his life were. Our conversation lasted long into the night and eventually the early morning. We said our goodbyes and I promised Matt that I would see him at thanksgiving.
It was relieving to talk to Matt, it felt like a ton of stress had been lifted off his shoulders. Hearing his sweet voice made me feel like everything was going to be alright. I loved that feeling. I also loved the feeling of being on almost good terms with him. I just had to wait 3 weeks until Thanksgiving.
I sat at the top of the staircase in my thoughts for another half hour before finally making my way back to my room. As turned the corner in the hallway I ran walked straight into Josie. What the heck was she doing up?
"Does Brian know your cheating on him?" She whispered in a concerned tone.
"What.. what?" I asked her.
"Does Brian know you're cheating on him with Matt?" Josie said sternly to me.
"You were eavesdropping" I snapped.
"Well no but yes.. but Morgan this is serious you're cheating on your boyfriend" She said as she took my arm and held it in her hand. I jerked it away. I couldn't believe how misinformed she was.
"I'm not dating Brian" I reassured her and began to walk away. I didn't even want to explain to her how misunderstood she was because I wasn't in any mood for it.
"Morgan you can just walk away" She snapped.
"Get out of my life" I spoke loudly as I entered our dorm room.
I pulled out my phone and noticed some notifications on it. All of them were referring to how I was either A.) Cheating on Matt B.) Cheating on Brian or C.) I was in a threesome.
What the fuck was happening. I didn't even know what too do, and I had no idea how these rumors got started, but I quickly texted Matt before things got even more complicated between us.
Okay, I don't know how to say this but there's a rumor going around that I'm dating Brian and that's not true. I don't know how the rumor got started… I think my roommate started it.. :/
I began to fall asleep when I felt my phone vibrate from underneath my pillow, it was Matt.
It's okay, I trust you, I know you and Brian are just friends. No need to worry xx :) Goodnight, sleep tight. Love you so so so much.
It felt nice falling asleep to a text like that, aside from the other notifications regarding my "scandalous actions"
"This is for you" Brian said as he handed my my journal.
"Oh gosh, thank you! Where was it?" I asked him. This actually was a nice surprise, my journal was basically part of me. I wrote in it as much as I could and it was full of, well, me and with all the stress I've been under lately I've been craving to write in it.
