Laugh with me

A few days pass and I refuse to leave my room aside from using the bathroom, spending my days either sleeping, drawing or staring at the wall. Frank checks on me several times a day, bringing me breakfast in the morning and dinner at night and I pick at them but don't really eat much. Linda has taken a few personal days from work, worried about leaving me home alone and she comes into my room every day with lunch, sitting on the opposite end of my bed while we eat together, never pressuring for me to talk, just letting me know she's there. I haven't heard from Matt since that night and I don't expect to but late in the afternoon right after Frank gets home from school and comes in to see if I want a snack my phone buzzes on the table beside the bed and if pick it up to see a message from Matt. 'Hey babe, you busy tonight? I'd love to take you for dinner : )'
I start to shake, the same images playing in my mind over and over again when the phone buzzes again with another message from him. 'Theres something important I want to tell you when I see you. I'll pick you up at 7?'
I take a deep calming breath, feeling scared but my heart is racing with excitement, butterflies flapping in my stomach at the thought of Matt and I can't deny that I still love him. I send a message back letting him know I'll be ready before I drag myself off the bed, seeing that it's already 5. I grab some nice clean clothes before leaving my room and going into the bathroom, showering for the first time in days, making myself presentable before I go back to my room and sit by the window, watching until I see Matt pull up in his car and I rush out of the room and downstairs, brushing past Frank who stares at me confused before following me to the door and when he sees me rushing across the yard to Matt he calls out "Gee." I launch myself into Matts chest, my arms wrapping around his waist as I bury my face in his neck, clinging to him and needing to know he cares about me and Matt wraps his arms tight around my waist, nuzzling his face into my hair and I sigh in relief, the ache I've been feeling in my chest for days fading away to nothing. "Gee" Frank calls out again as he crosses the lawn to us and I pull my face out of Matts neck to look at him and he looks angry, sending a glare to Matt before he turns his attention back to me and says "Please come back inside, don't go with him." I shake my head, letting Matt take my hand and lead me to his car, leaving Frank standing on the front lawn watching us, looking upset and angry.

Matt takes me to a nice restaurant and the whole meal he makes small talk while I nod along, unable to form words but happy to be there with him and Matt understands something is up and doesn't push me to talk. After dinner Matt drives us to a nearby beach and we take our shoes off and walk along the edge of the water hand in hand in the moonlight, me slightly huddled into Matts side to keep warm until he drops my hand and wraps his arm around my waist, holding me to his side as we keep walking. After a few minutes we turn around and start walking back towards the car and on the way Matt stops me and gently grips my hips, turning me to face him and he leans down, staring into my eyes as one of his hands come up to gently stroke my hair back off my forehead as he softly says "Gee, I love you." My eyes widen, my heart fluttering in my chest as I had hoped to hear those words and now he's finally confirmed it. I feel the smile spread across my face right before Matt leans in and presses his lips to mine, his hands sliding around to rest on my lower back and he pulls me tight against him as I kiss back, my whole body tingling under his touch. When we break apart Matt smiles blindingly at me before he takes my hand in his and leads me back to the car, both of us getting in and as he starts it Matt asks "Will you spend the night?" I nod, reaching out to take his free hand as Matt starts driving us back towards his place.

After we get there Matt takes me inside and into his room, giving me a spare pair of his pyjama pants and I change in the bathroom, leaning my shirt on before going back to the bedroom where Matt is waiting for me in bed. A small flash of the bed from the other night plays in my mind and I clench my eyes shut, willing it away and when I reopen my eyes Matt is looking at me with concern written all over his face. "You alright babe?" He asks and I bite my bottom lip as I nod my head and climb into bed with him. We curl up together, sharing a few soft kisses before I roll over so my back is to Matt and he slides over and cuddles up to me, making me feel safe and happy. I let my eyes slip closed and a few minutes later Matt starts gently grinding his crotch into my ass, his dick obviously half hard and I tense up, trying to move away but Matt tightens his arm around me and keeps me where I am as he keeps thrusting against me. I whimper softly, not wanting this but Matt keeps going and he starts biting softly at the back of my neck, groaning softly as his hand slides down to tug at my pyjama pants. I slide my hand down to try and stop him, tugging his hand away but Matt shakes me off and moves his hand back down, slipping it inside my pants and he starts fondling my dick. "No" I scream out as I thrash around, trying to escape but Matt grabs me and flips me onto my back, climbing over me and pinning me down with his hand around my neck, making it hard to breathe. "Listen to me, I want this so just shut up" Matt spits at me and I nod as silent tears stream down my face. Matt removes his hand from my throat and slides it down to tug at my pants and I thrash around again, swinging my fist out and it connects with the side of his head, Matt falling off me onto the mattress as my fist strikes his temple and I scramble off the bed, running from the room and out of the house, leaving my jeans and shoes behind as I run down the street, ignoring the burning in my chest as I run the whole way home, letting myself in the unlocked back door when I get there. I run upstairs and into Franks room which is dark, Frank sleeping in his bed as I climb in next to him, shaking uncontrollably as I continue to cry, clinging to his side and Franks eyes snap open, focusing on me immediately as he wraps his arms around me and pulls me into his chest, holding me close. "Shhh Gee it's alright, I've got you" he whispers and his hand coming up to gently stroke my hair back is the last thing I register before my eyes slip closed and I pass out, my hands fisted tight in the front of Franks shirt.
