Save Me

*Matt's POV*

I really needed to talk to Sarah.

I didn't mean to say what I said to her. It just slipped out, she's not an attention whore, she never will be. She hasn't talked to me since and I'm getting worried. Leaving for basketball practice I wanted to check real quick to see if she was okay, but I didn't.

Val had taken the majority of my time to talk to Sarah away but I just thought, maybe she did need some space. I decided for about a week or so to just leave her be but I'm sure it's just getting worse now.

"Hey Matt!" Val cooed once I stepped in the high school gym.

I searched around, where the fuck was Brian? He's never late for practice, especially since Basketball was his favorite. I shrug my shoulders before heading over to the team who were currently stretching. Standing next to Jimmy he glanced at me more often than usual. I brush it off, he probably got into his moms special brownies again.

"I'm surprised you let him go." Jimmy mumbled.

"Excuse me?" I question.

"You now where Brian is, right?" He ask.

I furrow my eyebrows, no. So he's not coming tonight? The only reason he wouldn't was because he was getting a good lay, I figured Michelle and him had something going on. Jimmy's expression changes to surprised, what the fuck is going on with him?

"Brian said he was going over to your place, I guess not for you." Jimmy mutters.

"Wait, what?" I raise my voice.

"He's hanging with Sarah, God!" He exclaims.

"Oh fuck no!" I yell.

Anger pulses through my veins and I head for the door. Basketball could wait, I didn't need Brian shagging with my damn cousin, cousin! I slam the gym door behind me, whispering fierce profanity before heading outside to walk to my place, I'm going to kill Brian.

*Brian's POV*

I waited for Matt and his parents to leave, I didn't want them knowing I was hanging with Sarah, the only soul I told was Jimmy. I headed towards the door, using my own emergency key to open it. I heard something knock over upstairs and I cock an eyebrow, was that Sarah?

I joged up the stairs and opened the door, not bothering to knock. The scene in front of me scared me shitless. Sarah had a rope tied around her neck as her legs kicked out, trying to escape the strangulation.

"Sarah!" I scream, ripping the rope down from the ceiling.

She fell to the ground, unconscious. She wasn't dead, she couldn't be. I had a soft spot for her, that I wouldn't ever show, no one needed to know. Sure I've been letting it slip by but it wasn't going to be here forever, she just intimidated me a little. I didn't want her dead, I couldn't handle that I also couldn't handle how bitchy Matt was towards Sarah. I mean what I said was a cover up and she expected it, she's has been dealing with my shit for years, but Matt was a different story.

Carrying her to the guest bed, I lay her down gently. I grab her wrist and check her pulse. My body washes over with relief, she's alive. I lay in the bed next to her, wrapping my arms around her. Matt shouldn't be back for at least 3 hours, I had time.

I watched as her eyes fluttered open and stared at me weakly. Should I say something? She turns her body where she's facing mine, and loosely fuses her arms around me. She gives me a tiring smile, which makes my body warm up.

"Why did you stop me?" She asks, her voice cracking.

"I-i couldn't let you do it." I whisper, looking into her eyes.

I see her eyes well up with tears, was that the wrong thing to say?! She rests her head on my chest and sobs excessively. I pet her hair, whispering calming words, I can't promise everything will be alright, but I sure as hell can try making it that way.

*Sarah's POV*

I wanted to yell and scream at Brian, but my body thought otherwise. It felt calming in his arms which was odd, months ago I'd smack him in the face and tell him to get out, but not now. The way how his voice was so calm, telling me calming words and it only made me feel worse. If Matt found out, he'd probably laugh in my face or yell at me like he did last time.

After calming down, I curled up next to Brian's warm body. He didn't seem to mind. I yawned a little before placing my hand on his stomach and lay my head on his chest, everything was alright, for now.

"I love you." I heard Brian mutter.

"I love you too." I whisper back, not even thinking about what I was saying.

And with that, I drifted off to a peaceful rest.
