You know i make you wanna scream..

I was crying so hard, I didn't even notice that there was silence in the house, when Matt came up.
'I thought you were gone home.' he frowned as he sat down on the bed beside me.
'I'll go home now. Sorry, I just didn't want to face anyone.'
'No, stay if you want. I think it's best if we're together, we're both feeling kinda vulnerable at the moment, I think.' he said.
I looked up at him, my eyes rimmed black with mascara from crying. 'Are you sure?'
He rolled his eyes. 'Of course I'm sure.'
I sat up, rubbing my eyes. 'What did Zacky say?'
'Not very fucking much, thankfully. I just told everyone the neighbours were complaining and they all fled pretty quick.'
I frowned. 'How come you're so angry at him?'

Matt sighed. 'I suppose part of the reason is cos I was so happy he finally got with a girl who wasn't just after his money, and really did care about him, and classic Zacky, fucks it up. I think it's also cos I'm really angry over Val too, and my anger is being directed at Zacky, I'm not really sure. I know I should probably be on his side, but what he did was so wrong. Just like what Val did.'
'Where is Val?' I said.
'Not in this house, thankfully. I've locked all the doors and left the keys in so she can't get in. I'm done with her. For good. I fucking knew she was cheating.'
I hugged Matt tightly. He chuckled lightly. 'What's that for?'
'Thank you, and I'm sorry.'
'What for?' he said, as he hugged me back.
I felt butterflies as he hugged me. I dismissed them immediately. 'For being here for me, for not hating me, and I'm sorry that Val did that. I wish I could say something to make it better, but honestly, all I can think of is 'it's fine, my boyfriend was cheating too.''
He laughed loudly. 'Same here. I wonder if there's a hallmark card that says 'Sorry you thought your significant other went missing, when really they were just cheating on you.''
I laughed, which made me feel better. 'If there was, we would so have to get eachother one.'

It was 4am, and Matt and I were still up, talking, crying, laughing and drinking the leftover alcohol. I had almost forgotten what had happened thanks to the alcohol. Everything was warm and fuzzy. I started to cry again, for no reason. Matt moved from the other side of the couch to beside me, and put his arms around me. I cuddled into him, still crying. 'It's okay, El. We'll be heartbroken together.'

I looked up at him, laughing, but as I looked into his eyes, in his arms, I felt butterflies. The same butterflies I had when Zacky winked at me from the stage that first night. We stared into eachother's eyes, neither of us talking, just looking at eachother, until my phone buzzing broke the moment. I looked away and took out my phone, pushing away the butterflies mentally.
I read the text. 'Eleanor, you're the best thing that has ever happened to me, and what I did was wrong, I fucked up big time. I'm sorry. Please talk to me so I can tell you what happened and explain it properly.'
I threw my phone down on the couch. 'Fucking prick.' I slurred.
'I think it's time we both went to sleep. You can sleep in the guest room. I'll show you where it is.' Matt said, standing up and holding his hand out to me. I took his hand, but as I stood up, I stumbled and just as I fell, he caught me in his arms. 'Definitely bed time.' he laughed, as he carried me out of the sitting room and up the stairs.

Matt put me down in the guest room. I smiled at him. 'I'm drunk, but thank you.' I slurred, and he hugged me tightly. 'For nothing, El.' he whispered.
As I pulled out of the hug, I looked into his gorgeous eyes again, our arms still around each other, and suddenly, his soft lips were on mine. We kissed, gently, my hands on his chest, his hands on my lower back. The kiss then deepened, and before I knew it, Matt was on top of me on the bed, kissing me hard, his tongue and mine moving in time. I ran my hands through his long hair, feeling the butterflies everywhere this time. He pulled away when I pulled his shirt off, but began to kiss me again, his soft lips on mine.
I was about to take off my top, when my phone again buzzed. He pulled away, as if the buzzing was a reminder of tonight's events, and got off me, lying on the bed beside me, quickly.
'I better go to bed.' Matt said, and I blushed violently. 'Same. Night.' I said, not knowing what to think of what just happened.
'Goodnight.' Matt said, as he walked out of the room, still shirtless, closing the door behind him.
I lay in the huge bed, too drunk to even think about everything, and drifted off to sleep quickly.
