Cherish Me
Doesn't Matter
Erin’s P.O.V
I walked home in complete and utter frustration and was just sooo far down in the dumps from Matt’s actions… how could he just fucking walk away from me and his own fucking idea! All the way home my phone was ringing off the hook and I was annoyed but when I arrived home I saw a familiar face sitting in the kitchen… Izzy… my sister for the most part. She saw me and bolted over to me and tripped over her own two feet and I just fell over laughing.
“I see that you haven’t gotten over falling over the place!” I said laughing and she punched me in the arm and we lied on the cool marble floor in the kitchen staring at the ceiling.
“So what brings you to Huntington my love?” I asked her and she leaned up and looked down at me.
“Well your father was talking to the fam and he said that this was a hard time and that you missed me and they all decided to send me here to live with you and just be here… for moral support and I think they thought I sucked at life in Texas without you!” She said and I tackled her and was just so happy.
“So that decorated room up there was always for you?” I asked and she just laughed and suddenly there was a knock on the door.
“COME IN!” I yelled and Jimmy walked through the door….. with Matt… dammit Jim… why. I got up and pulled up Izzy.
“Well hello there you two.. meet my sista from anotha mista Izzy Phillips… Izzy… meet Jimmy and… Matt” I said having to swallow my hatred for the time being. They both loved her already and I could tell but Jimmy… for once.. the man was speechless and it was weird.
“Talk for a min and I gotta call everyone else” I said walking outside and taking a humungous breath in.
“HANNAH, ZACK, BRIAN GET YOUR ASSES OVER DON’T PRETEND LIKE YOU CANT HEAR ME BECAUSE I KNOW YOU FUCKING CAN!!!” I screamed through the neighborhood and I saw everyone pop out and I waved for them to get over here.
“WELL DON’T WALK RUN LOSERS!” I yelled and they ran over and Hannah was wearing heels… so you can tell I was amused. She came in and slapped my arm and stopped in her tracks seeing Izzy.
“So to everyone this is Izzy, she hails from Texas and she was my bestie, Izzy you met Matt and Jimmy well this is Hannah my other bestie, her twin brother Zack and Brian… his father is the music teacher” I said laughing and Brian shot me a look.
“Awe come on Erin you know me more than that… say something better and I will… ummmm… buy you ice cream?” He said making me laugh and I nodded and cleared my throat.
“By order of the great and powerful Queen…that is me… I give you sir Brian Haner Jr. who hails down the street from me and is an amazing guitar player and a great friend” I said and he bowed and then he nodded and the picked me up carrying me over his head making me squeal.
“WHAT THE HELL HANER!” I yelled and he walked out of my house.
“You wanted ice cream Collins! I am taking you to get some! COME ALL!” He motioned his
head for everyone to follow. About halfway down the street I was getting upset and he handed me off to Matt.
“PUT ME DOWN YOU FUCKER!” I yelled and everyone looked at me like I was crazy.
Matt’s P.O.V
Erin was of course letting her anger getting the best of her no matter what and it was really starting to get her noticed by the neighborhood. I stopped and she wiggled trying to get down.
“Oh god you guys go ahead and go and we will meet up with you later at the party” I said to Brian since he was throwing the party tonight.
“But what about me?” Izzy the new girl asked and Jimmy extended his hand to her and smiled.
“M’lady I would be honored to show you more of Huntington and buy you some ice cream” He said to her and she just laughed and looked at E and she nodded from above me and they all walked off and I carried E back to my place and upstairs to my room and locked the door behind me. I threw her onto the bed and she just stared at me in shock.
“You better unlock that door right now you self-righteous asshole” She said… and I had no idea how one minute I could be so fucking pissed at her but then go right back to liking her… she was a confusing woman and I hated it.
“No” I said to her.
“Fuck off Matt now you are just gonna make me leave something and then hand out down to your girlfriend…” She said… I am seeing that she was still really bitter.
“Stop being such a bitch and get over it!” I said to her and she just got up and slapped me.
“You fucking left me alone in the park after giving Val my signed Three Days Grace shoes! THIS IS FUCKING STUPID! IM NOT DOING THIS ANYMORE” She screamed at me and I just stood there for a moment and then opened the door and motioned for her to leave… really I had no idea what she would do though.
“You wanna go then go… but realize I panicked… we all make mistakes… I am fucking sorry.. but fucking hell I don’t understand any of this” I said to her and she got up and walked towards the door and stopped right next to me.
“It’s more than just saying sorry Matthew Charles… you have to fully mean it… you can’t go into something so obscene and then expect that this is gonna make up for it and me just run back…” She said and rubbed my arm and walked out of the room… shit…
Zack’s P.O.V
Everyone was all over each other… it was odd seeing my sister with Haner… damn… I decided to walk away from this while everyone was busy and I am sure that nobody would notice. After strolling down the pier from the ice cream place I saw Erin walking towards me and she ran and hugged me and then kissed me.
“Well someone is happy to see me” I said to her and she just smiled and for some reason she looked frustrated and like she had been crying.
“What’s wrong?” I asked as a tear flowed from her left eye and I wiped it away with my thumb and she pulled back and moved her hair behind her ear.
“I just… I need to know there is one good guy in the world” She said trying to hold back stuff that I am sure I couldn’t ever understand and I hugged her again.
“You’re a good guy right?” She asked me and I just hugged her and rubbed her head a little. Somehow holding her and being kind to her… dodged the fact that I was totally just up for the action… play along… maybe the reward would come faster… just then.. I opened my mouth.
“I am a good guy… I swear it to you” I said… yeah so I lied a little… sue me..
I walked home in complete and utter frustration and was just sooo far down in the dumps from Matt’s actions… how could he just fucking walk away from me and his own fucking idea!
