Chapter 4
"Matt?"
"Perri Lawe, will you marry me?"
"Matt are you being serious?"
"Yes"
"Yes Matt. A million times yes!" said Perri excitedly, sweeping Matt into a kiss.
The pair stood their kissing for a few minutes, until they pulled apart and settled into a hug. A tear slid down Perri's face as she said,
"How come I can be so happy, and Bec's lying there in a coma?"
"Because of chance Perri. You have got to stop feeling responsible and start living a little"
"Ok. What do you suggest?"
"How about I take you somewhere. Somewhere that no one ever goes to. Somewhere I call paradise, and you'd call paradise too if you went there"
"Right. When do we go?"
"I was thinking in the next hour"
"What?! Matt we can't just ditch the others!"
"Don't worry, I told Edge and he wants you to have some time off. He is so thankful to you Perri, without you Bec would have died"
"Ok then. I'll go and pack. I love you Matt"
"I love you Perri" said Matt, as he walked into the kitchen to write the note to tell the others where going
Hey guys,
Sorry that we couldn't stay, but Perri needs to take a break from all this, and we just wanted to make everyone's life less stressful. We're getting married, so think of this as a pre-wedding honeymoon.
Hold tight, Matt
He sighed. This was going to be though on the others, but it had to be done. He loved Perri with all his heart, and hated her being so vulnerable.
Four hours later, when the others return from the hospital
Fly was the one to find the note.
"Guys, look at this"
"What does it say?" asked Heath, walking over
"Matt and Perri are getting married, and they're ditching us to go take a break somewhere. Just great" she replied
"I thought Perri and Bec were best friends! How could she just go away like this?" said Anna with a raised voice
"I don't know, but there's nothing we can do about it. Let's just focus on the problem at hand" said Edge, who had appeared from the stairs
And it was at that moment when the phone rang.
"Hello?" said Edge
"Yes, I am"
"Are you serious? I'll be there right away!"
"Bec's awake! They said only one person can go so..."
"Of course you can mate. Now hurry! Don't want to keep the beauty waiting" said Heath
"Shut up!" replied Edge sarcastically
Everyone smiled as he practically sprinted out the door.
Just after he left, the phone rang again
"Hello?" said Fly
"Yes she does at the moment"
"Oh my goodness will she be ok?"
"Ok, I'll tell the others. Thank you" she finished, her voice barely registering as a whisper
"What was that about?" asked Heath
Fly turned around to face Heath, tears streaming down her face.
Oh no. This can't be good, thought Heath
