I don't belong here.

Matts POV

I followed her outside...my Nora, she was here, but why here of all places? I reached out her, grabbing hold of her shoulder and turning her around, I needed her, I needed her back in my life and back in my life. Nora was my everything, and no matter how angry I was with her and her actions, I shouldn’t have hit her. She was right, I let my jealousy control our relationship, and I was foolish to push her away. I'd do anything to have her back; I’d get down on my knees and beg like a dog if I had to. She was my forever and always, and I had forgotten that when I laid a hand on her, I was ashamed of my actions and wouldn’t blame her if she never wanted to see me again, she was well in her right, I promised to protect her and keep her safe from Adam, and yet id done exactly what he did, struck terror in her. Her beautiful green eyes were full of fear, fear of me, and I hated it, I hated the way she looked at me afterwards.

Eventually I grew a pair and grabbed hold of her shoulder, turning her around “Nora?” Sadly I was being left surprised and disappointed, it wasn’t Nora...

“Im sorry I think you have the wrong person” she smiled, she was hot I had to admit however she wasn’t nothing compared to my Nora, for starters she was blonde and facially she was more similar to Alex than Nora.

“Oh yes im sorry, im Matt by the way, hey why you heading off so early?” I thought I might as well make a conversation out of this awkward mishap.

“Im leaving because I want to get home to put my little man to bed, I work most nights and I rarely get to see him “ she smiled again…a son eh? Hmm never would have guessed “Oh bless, how old?”

“My little Sammy, he turned two three weeks ago….do you have a family Matt?”
Since breaking up with Nora I hated that question considering I had envisioned spending the rest of my life with her “No I don’t, I hope to one day, I want a football team, but the situation with the Mrs is difficult at the moment”.

“Oh I wasn’t aware you were married...”

“Oh I wasn’t…I mean im not but I was with a woman for five amazing months, she was my everything but I let my own issues and jealousy of her relationship with my best friend get in the way, I have no idea where she is, or even how’s she’s doing, it’s like she vanished into thin air, its heart-breaking because the morning of us splitting, I was prepared to take the next step…” I pulled out a small blue box out of my shirt pocket, it contained an engagement ring I had bought for Nora that morning, I’ve kept it on me ever since.

“Oh shit, im so sorry…” I saw sympathy in her eyes.

“Don’t be it was all my fault”

“Matt” she put her hand on my arm “I know we don’t know each-other, but I think you should not stop looking for her, from the way your eyes sparkle when you talk about her, you love her and if she feels the same, then Matt please don’t stop show her how much she means to you” her words were calming and seemed to lift my spirits.
Thankyou…umm I never got your name”

“Taylor” she smiled.

“Nice, well then Thankyou Taylor, now go on, get out of here and go see your little boy” I helped into her taxi, and I said goodbye I saw jimmy standing behind through the reflection in the taxi window.

Jimmy’s P.O.V

I was imagining things when I thought I had seen Nora….and I was right in thinking Matt had seen her too. I followed him outside after chucking the bimbo off of my lap, I stood back a bit form him and Taylor and watched everything unfold, to hear his side of what happened and why, even though it was brief.

“How long you been standing there Rev?” you could hear his voice cracking up.

“Long enough to get a rough idea of how and why you split…but why was it so easy to tell a stranger but so difficult to speak to any of us lads?”

“Jim I never felt that I was capable of till now…it has put things in perspective” he sat down on the curb; I walked over and joined him.

“Don’t you ever feel like you can’t speak to me Matt…to any of us…we are your brothers remember, and don’t forget we lost Nora too, she was part of our family , we all lost her to, what about Alex huh? She was mortified when she came home to find out that she was gone….you aren’t the only one her missed her you know…hence why I followed you, and I can tell you now if Zacky or Johnny or even Brian had thought Taylor was Nora, they would have done the same” he grimaced the minute I mentioned Brian’s name, it was then everything came together, that was the last piece of the puzzle, because of Nora and Bri’s past and connection, it lead to Matt getting upset, therefore resulting in him becoming single. I don’t blame matt, I see the way Brian looks at Nora, his face lights up when she walks in the room, and I could always read him like a book. He had admitted to me a couple of weeks ago of his hidden feelings for her, stupid boy, I love him to bits but he has always had a thing for fallen for forbidden fruit, to want what is not his.

“I know Jim, im sorry I just miss her…she’s my everything, I need her back and I don’t think I can carry on much longer like this” and with that he burst into tears. After I calmed him down I took him inside and left him with Zacky and Alex. Now it was my turn to be in control, I needed to try and fix things, for everyone’s sake, so with that I took matters into my own hands and dialled a number as I stepped outside.

“Hello? Jimmy”

“Holy shit Red…u picked up!!”

“Yes Jim that’s kind of the whole point of a phone call, is everything ok, why you ringing me at this hour?” hearing her sarcastic tone on the other end made me smile, as if she was back home with us all.

“yes everything is ok, was just phoning to ask if you wanted to meet tomorrow, miss you and thought it would be nice to see each other” I heard her chuckle “Okay sure, well im sorry I can’t stay on the phone long I’ve got to get back to work, demanding customers ha, yeah sure coffee shop opposite Johnny’s?” didn’t realise sound pad was open at this time.

“Yeah sure, say eleven?”

“Awesome it’s a date, bye Jim, see you tomorrow, love you Jim!!”

“Love you too little one…” “WAIT!!”

“Nora?”

“Jim please don’t tell anyone else of our contact, I fucking mean dud, just the two of us ok?” her angry tone made me laugh, ahh bless her!

“I promise, see you tomorrow…bye!!”

“Bye Jim!”

And with that she was gone, never realize how much I had missed her till no, but it couldn’t wait to see her, even though I felt bad about keeping it from everyone else, it was the only way I guess.
