Chapter 3: "Laura! You okay?" Sally runs over to me, "What?s wrong? Why are you crying?" "I seen Matt with another girl...and...I think he may be cheating on me" "That's crazy! Where's he at!?" I bring Sally over to the window where we can see Matt and his "little friends". There still talking and laughing. I guess there laughing at one of Matt's jokes. It looks like there having a good time. Lucky for them. Then, out of no where, I see Matt lean in on the blonde girl just like he did to me the night before. There lips locked and formed something that would look like a scene in a movie. My heart sank at that moment. Everything around me was a blur. I could not believe what I was seeing. I didn't believe what I was seeing, that was not Matt. It can't be. "Laura, I'm so sorry." Sally said putting her arms around me. "Don't be. Let's just forget about it." I said making my way down to the kitchen. Sally followed me there and kept asking me if I was okay. Why wouldn't I be? That wasn't Matt. It was just someone that looks like him. Sally and I talked for a while about school and the upcoming dance. We are not going to the dance, just the after parties. So, we talked about who is having a party. We plan on going to our friend Greg's party. He always has fun parties. His parents always end up buying our beer, so if we get in trouble we can blame it on them. Who gets in trouble for drinking anyways? Parents in this neighborhood could careless about there children. I know my mom doesn't care. Well, maybe she does but she can't because she's always messed up. I don?t know. "Well, I'd better get home before my mom has a big fit." I said making my way to the front door. I hurried over to my house before it started raining again. I'm not going to stay at my house long, just going to run in and give Matt a call. Maybe I can go over to his house later on. "Everything will be great. He's not cheating on me. He loves me." I keep telling myself. The phone starts to ring. "Umm.. Hello?" It?s him. This is great! "Hey baby, I thought I should give you a call to see if we can get together tonight." "Umm.. I'm kind of busy right now. You can come over later if you want.. I will pick you up in an hour. Is that okay?" "Sure.. Bye. I love you." Whoa. Did those words just leave my mouth? "I love you too, bae." He said back in a sort of cheerful voice and then hung up. Wow, he loves me too. He does feel the same way. I knew it! Yesterday was full proof that he loved me, and today was just a big misunderstanding. Wait, what is he busy with right now? I wonder if it.....really.. Was..... Nah couldn't have been him. He must be busy working on something at his house. That?s all. I need to get myself ready for him to come pick me up. I need to look good for tonight. We love each other so I wonder what's going to happen now. An hour later.... I hear the honking of Matt's car outside so I rush to see him. When I stepped outside, I could see his gorgeous face looking out the window and smiling at me. I walked over to the car and made my self look appealing while opening up the passenger door. When I sat down, he leaned in and kissed me. This is more like it. All the attention is on me right now. We drove around for a while, and talked about what we did today. I told him I went over to Sally's house. I didn?t tell him I seen someone that looked like him make out with this girl. He refused to tell me what he was doing earlier when I called though. Something seems wrong with this picture. When I finally wake up from my thoughts, we were parked under a tree in the local park. I looked over to him, expecting to see the Matt I know and love, and he was gulping down strait vodka. Was he drinking the whole time he was driving!? "What are you doing!? Were you drinking the whole time?" I asked and I'm really worried now. "No bae, its okay I'm not drunk. Don't worry." He leans over and kisses me again. I shouldn't worry about him being drunk. It's not the first time. Why is it so different now? Is it because I'm alone with him in the car? He is capable of so much... he may... we may.. Should I? He leans in closer and rubs his hand up and down my leg. He then puts his hand in my shirt. What do I do? I don't want this. I want it to be special and not when he's drunk. "No! Get off of me!" I yell as I slap him. "What was that for? Don't you love me!? " I thought I did, but apparently all you care about is sex. I don't want to have sex when you?re drunk. I want it to mean something!" "Shut up! You love me and you?re going to do what I tell you! Got that!?" His face is turning read. He grabs a hold of my shoulders and throws me down into the seat. I push him off as fast as I could. This can not happen to me! "Oh Matt! By the way! Who was that girl you were making out with earlier!? You didn't mention her yet!" I yelled at him while pushing him off. "You don't know what you?re talking about. Shut up." I stormed out the door and decided to walk home. It?s not far of a walk. I didn?t get more than a yard away when I felt a tug on my shirt. I turned around to find Matt as crazy as ever. I barely have time to think and I feel this harsh pain on my cheek. The throbbing felt like a thousand knives forcing there way into my skin. Blood flowed down to the ground from the cut on my face. Next thing I know, my face is buried in the ground. Matt is on top of me. Stripping me of everything I have on. All I have to do now is, wait. Wait for my misery to be over with. I then feel the pain run up my back. My screams are not herd from anyone except Matt who is one top of me. My screams are bringing him pleasure. There is nothing I can do now, but pray it ends soon.
