Chapter Fifteen~ The Truth

When I wake up, Matt’s not there anymore. I look up and the door is slightly open, so I grab my phone and head down stairs. He’s making me breakfast, I walk over to the table but when he turns to me I see tears in his eyes. “What’s wrong?” I ask, feeling my heart sink a little bit. “Who is Mason, and why did he text me saying he was going to kill you?” he looks so concerned for me, and I know I have to tell him. “Sit down please.” I say, and I can already feel the tears fill my eyes. “Mason goes to our school, the day you got hit in the head, it was his fault.” It feels hard coming out, “You were protecting me, you had just gotten out of the hospital and come over to check on me.” tears are now running down my checks. “So he just hit me because I was worried about you?” he says with a questioned look on his face, “No, he was…” I can’t get the words out, that and I’m crying so hard it’s just that more difficult. He hold me, but it just makes me cry harder, “I’m here for you, and if you don’t want to tell me its okay.” he says, then kisses my forehead. Which reminds me I can’t believe what we did last night, but it was great, he put candles up everywhere.

When I finally stopped crying I noticed the time, “ugh, I have missed so much school lately I will never be able to catch up” I say with a sigh, it was 1:40 I had slept my school day away. I text mom:
Aurora: I didn’t make it to school.
Mom: I noticed, they called me
Aurora: sorry ☹ I blame Matt
Mom: I’ll let it go this time, your not going to graduate if you don’t stop skipping

I stop texting because its making me upset, I just kick back in my PJ’s with Matt. We watch some movie, eat some chocolate, caramel popcorn, and other non nutritional items. We waste the day away on the couch and by the time 9 Pm rolls around mom is texting me again:
Mom: don’t come home
Aurora: What? Why?
Mom: It’s to dark, I don’t want you to hit a deer. Just go to school tomorrow ok?
Aurora: Ok I promise I will, love you mom
Mom: Love you too, good night.

“Well I guess ill bunk with you tonight” I say looking at Matt, he smiles “Good, its dark outside anyway” he says, he firemen caries me up to his room and the night is ours.
