Don't you like Halloween?
Misunderstanding (Jack POV)
I yanked the steering wheel to the left, attempting to swerve around the person, but it was too late. Before I knew it, the windshield was broken and I blacked out only seconds after.
I woke up in a room that was almost completely white. I could not move properly and my vision was blurred. I heard someone squeal and then stroke my cheek. My vision started clearing up and I was able to recognize Matt. He was pale, had dark circles under his eyes and he looked like he had lost some weight.
Anxiety hit me. For how long had I been out? Judging from how Matt looked, it must have been at least a week.
I made grabby hands at the other person in the room, I was not yet ready to act like the scene between Ella and Matt had never happened. The other person happened to be Rian and he complied immediately, coming close to me so he could hear my sandpaper-like voice. I asked for some water and he quickly brought it to me. I chugged it down and felt the relief instantly. I croaked a thank you to Rian and continued to ignore Matt.
He was very obviously desperate for my attention but I didn’t give a fuck. He had made out with Ella, I had seen them. I awkwardly stared on the ceiling until Rian cleared his throat and whispered in my ear.
“Don’t you want to give Matt at least a chance to explain himself? I think there has been a huge misunderstanding.”
I was tempted to stubbornly shake my head, but I hesitated. What if it really had only been a misunderstanding? I still loved him, he was like my second half. I couldn’t imagine a life without him, but simultaneously I felt so hurt about the whole thing that I just wanted to kick him.
“Matt, speak now or be silent forever. And it better be a hella good explanation for what I’ve seen,” I sighed after thinking some more about it.
Matt breathed out audibly and got up to look me in the eye. “Jack, it was a misunderstanding. I am so terribly sorry, it was not my fault, Ella just attacked me. She pressed me down just seconds after you left and she wouldn’t let go. I didn’t want all of this. Look at me, I lost weight from worrying endlessly for the past week, the circles under my eyes are from sleepless nights watching over you and I can’t feel joy without you in my life. I love you. Please take me back…” His voice started shaking during the last sentence and his eyes welled up, I could feel that he meant it. But I was still not ready to take him back, there was something I needed to know.
“Do you still hold contact to her?” I croaked, a bit anxious about the answer.
“No of course not!” he replied. He became even paler and I couldn’t stand the sight of him so sad anymore.
I made grabby hands again, at him this time, and before I could blink he was already hugging me. Very carefully, as my ribs were bruised, but he soon planted a feathery, little kiss on my lips. We stayed in our hug for a long time, until it got too uncomfortable for him.
I was so glad this all was over and done with, that it had all been a misunderstanding. I loved this man so much, I didn’t think I was able to live without him.
