Capter 2 ~ The Aftermath and a New Roommate ~
You looked up when the blows that should have rained down never came. The boy was standing between you and your father (yes the man is your abusive father) and is holding the man's fist with his own hand, protecting you. Your father's other fist connected with the boy's gut however. "dad, NO! STOP IT!!!!!!" you screamed as the boy coughed up a little blood. It must have been a really hard hit. And he took the blow in my place….how sexy is that? you thought not really being able to help the last bit. But as he continued to fight with your father you felt worse and worse. Sure the boy seemed to be winning punching your father and dodging the blows that followed, only being hit several times. Each time he was hit though, you screamed and felt awful.
Finally, you mustered up the strength to help your savior. Jumping on your father's back, you started beating him over the head but he flung you off and kicked you in the head, knocking you out.

When you came to again, you were in a bed in a room you didn't recognize. There were posters all over the walls of some of your favorite video games like Call of Duty, Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, and Final Fantasy. These posters were joined by one giant one of a chocolate bar across the room and several of female swimsuit models. It was only then that you heard whispered voices and looked over to the other bed in the room. Sitting on it were two boys, one was the readhead who had saved you, playing a videogame and the other had long blonde hair and was eating a chocolate bar. When they saw that you were awake, the two shut up and the readhead shut off his videogame, stood up, and walked over to your bed. You were happy to see he did not seem injured at all. "Finally awake I see," he stated but teasingly, "I thought that blow to the head might have finished you off," he continued, but now you could hear the real worry and compassion in his voice.
The blonde stood up, apparently noticing your hero's tone as well, and walked out the bedroom door, slamming it behind him, but not without having the final words, "I cant stand to stay in a room that's full of such prissy, emotional, babies! The girl was bad enough, but now you too? UGGGHHH!!!" With this happy thought he left.
"You mi lady, just met Mello. Ripe little ball of sunshine ain't he?" the boy said, laughing. "O and like I was saying yesterday, before I was o so rudely interrupted, I'm Matt. You are in Whammy's house right now, an orphanage famously known for the geniuses it produces. Currently, you are in the bedroom Mello and I are forced to share. Not that we aren't best friends, don't get me wrong, we are like brothers, but we tend to get on each others nerves. Can't you tell?" you giggled a bit at this. I mean COME ON, an insanely hot guy (now that you've gotten a better look, you notice he's not merely cute, he's HAWT) is being extremely friendly and turns out to be just your kind of guy, funny, gamer, and he CARES. When he says something funny, you laugh, you're not a TOTAL loser when it comes to flirting.
"O by the way, my name is Becca," you say quickly, blushing at how rude you must have seemed to have forgotten to introduce yourself to a boy who most likely saved your life, and took you in. "By the way, I'm 13" you add as an afterthought
"Well Becca, welcome to Whammy's House. I have already made the arrangements with Roger, the man who runs the place, and he says you are welcome to stay as long as you like. Well, of course until you're 17, then you have to leave. But we'll get into all the rules and requirements later. By the way, I'm 13 too. So…would you like to stay?" he finished somewhat eagerly.
"Well, you know, my dad is going to want me home and he can, and will, press charges if I stay here without his consent. So as much as I really am dying to stay, it would cause more trouble than I am worth."
"O that's right I forgot to mention. Because your dad hurt you, got into that fight with me, and admitted to having been trying to kill you yesterday, along with some other crimes Roger wouldn't tell me about, he's been put away for life. So…technically speaking, you're an orphan and more than eligible to become part of Whammy's House," he added cheerfully.
"That's FANTASTIC!!!!!!" you exclaim. "Do I really get to stay here with you?" you continue in a state of incomparable euphoria at the thought of being rid of your alcoholic and abusive father.
"Well yes, and no" Matt told you chuckling. "You get to stay at Whammy's, but not in my room, as much as we both know you want that. I'll bring you to your new room. O and I'll tell you before we get there, you will have a roommate, but don't worry, if she gets on your nerves, I'll be right down the hall, you can come talk to me…come to think about it, stop in anytime you would like, no matter what the hour. Just try not to wake Mello if it's late, cuz he is a whiny little prissy bitch if he doesn't get enough sleep," Matt added laughing. With that, the two of you were off down the hall so you could meet your new roommate.
Turns out, your new roommate's name is Erin, and the two of you clicked right away. As soon as Matt got you two in the same room and talking, you wouldn't shut up about clothes you liked, your favorite tv shows and all the anime and manga you two were into (both loving bleach, avatar, vampire knight, FAKE, naruto and OHSHC). Eventually, Matt turned on his DS and started playing god knows what videogame. He started getting really into the game, and was silent, so you and Erin paid him no mind, assuming he was too absorbed in his game to care what you two talked about. You were mistaken however.
Matt's mind was only half in the game (and he was still kicking ass cuz he's godly like that) but the other half of him was paying close attention to the seemingly never ending conversation between the two teenage girls in front of him. Matt secretly wanted to know as much about you as possible because he was curious about your likes and dislikes but wouldn't know how to keep a conversation like that going if it were one on one. You and Erin only stopped talking when the dinner bell rang and you were too immersed in your food to talk. You had a new home and already had two really good friends. Life was good, and you couldn't have been happier.
AWWWW this chapter ended on a much happier note than the last! And like I promised, most everything confusing was cleared up this chapter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and OHSHC is Ouran High School Host Club for those who didn't know.
Is Matt falling for our little Becca?????? FIND OUT SOON
