Hey guys! So I'm absolutely in love with the Matched trilogy so here's my first fan fiction for it! Also, if you read my Mean Girls story, I'm going to be adding the next chapter soon I promise! Okay I love you all! Also my English teacher said Anomaly in class and I had like a spaz attack…
On the Hill, I felt alive. I felt like nobody could hurt me. That was because Ky was there to protect me. His presence alone meant more to me than every kind word ever said to me. When he taught me how to write, I felt special. I felt like I meant something more than what the Society thought of me as. I wasn't just a sorter. I was a girl. I was a beautiful girl. A beautiful girl who was loved by a mysterious guy.
I never felt that way with Xander. It was always so comfortable between us. And maybe we felt a little bit of pressure to love each other. Maybe we both knew that our families wanted us to be matched. And maybe that's why we were so happy. Maybe I fell in love with the idea of the perfect fairytale where the girl falls in love with her best friend and they live happily ever after.
I remember that time when Ky cried during the movie. I never understood why. He was such a mystery. Maybe I just love the mystery. That's what people would probably tell me. But I love more than that. I love every little thing about him. His kind eyes, that change color and his quietness. His smile and his love of poetry. His willingness to share his talent of creating things with me. I love everything. He understands me. He makes me feel alive.
And maybe one day, we will run away together. We could go to the Otherlands or join Hunter in the forest or we could go back to the Carving. But right now, they need us. The world is being rebuilt. Anna is now in charge and will be busy. We can't leave Eli or the rest of the people here. We can't leave our family or friends. They need us.
But sometimes I wonder if we should have just ran a long time ago. Maybe we should have just ran after that day on the Hill. We could have ran to the Outer Provinces or found the farmers. We could have lived alone, just the two of us. No Xander, no Indie to pull us apart. It would be just him and I together.
But its too late to change that. All I know is, I love Ky and Ky loves me. And as long as I'm with him, it doesn't matter where we are. All I need is him, Bram, my mother and my poetry. If I could just take them all away and bring them to somewhere safe, where it could be just us, I would. Its an idea Ky told me about. I like the idea of it. I like the idea of being safe. I like the idea of love.
