Awkward. Fanfiction

Moving On: Jenna's POV

It had been at least 2 hours since the formal ended. Jake had gone home and I have discovered that my mom wrote the "A Friend" letter. I was still shocked that my own mother would write something like this. Of course it's not that much of a surprise, but my mother? Was this how she saw me before? I admit, that letter kind of changed everything, but it caused a lot of pain and stress. I just want to know why she would do this to me. Maybe I should thank her but also tell her how much pain the letter cost. Either way, I cannot fathom this revelation.

I'm at my desk staring at the box full of the blank stationary papers used to write the letter and the crumpled up letter. My mom wrote it. Does my dad even know? Of course not, if he knew, he'd tell her it was a bad idea. I was slowly recovering from the shock but now I feel angry. Angry that she didn't have the nerve to tell me in person.

I couldn't take it, I grabbed my phone and texted Tamara, but then deleted the message before I sent it. What should I tell her?

There was a sudden knock on my door. I get up from my desk and see Matty standing outside through the blinds like always. Except this time is different. I wasn't gonna let him get the best of me. I have Jake now and I was no longer under Matty McKibben's spell anymore, maybe a little but that's not the point.

I sigh as I open the door. "Hey," I greet awkwardly.

Matty looks at me with that longing look. I can see he still has his tux on and the corsage in his hand. "Hi, Jenna," he says after a long silence.

"What are you doing here?" I ask a little angry he's here.

He sighs and smells his armpit nervously. "I just wanted to give you the corsage I bought for you. I-I thought it would be best with you," he explains.

I give him a small smile. "Thanks, it's beautiful." I take it, I had to take it. I may be with Jake but Matty was also a part of me. He was my heart.

"Um, I better be going," he begins to turn around when he looks at me one last time and says, "You looked really beautiful tonight. I was an idiot for not fighting for you. I was too late. I took you for granted and I know I hurt you. Jake," he takes a deep breath and walks towards me, "Jake is a lucky guy. He'd probably treat you better than I have ever treated you. I'm sorry I kept you hidden for so long. You deserved more than that. I'm sorry, Jenna." He steps closer to me and kisses me on the forehead before walking out into the night.

He didn't wait for my response. I guess he just wanted to get that off his chest. I couldn't blame the guy. I close the door and look at the corsage. It was beautiful. I put it next to Jake's on my night stand. Those two boys had fallen for me. One was scared to fight for me, the other was willing to put himself out there for me. Matty had apologized sincerely, I guess he really did care about me, but he was just scared. Jake wasn't. Jake asked me in a small way but he asked me in a very cute way. He was just so himself tonight and he was happy to have had me on his arm. It felt incredible to be wanted. It felt incredible to not be kept a secret.

Now I had to deal with my mother and the bitch of a letter.
