Chapter 8: Talk to Me!!
//What if I just can't sleep at night.
I see your face in the starry skies so high above,
but girl I'm not in love.
So, if my heart just skips a beat, what if I
lose a little sleep...//
"I, I can't do this," Matt said quickly, withdrawing his fingers from her cheek. Matt jumped up off the sofa, "I should go, it's getting late," he finished lamely.
"Yes, maybe you should," Nora said quietly, watching as he made his hasty retreat.
Later that night:
Hands crossed behind his head, Matt stared up at the ceiling, "What's wrong with me, I spend the good part of an evening with a beautiful, wonderful gir- woman and I walk, okay run, away." Matt shook his head stubbornly, "I'm not, no, I can't be falling in love with her. I can deal with this, I just gotta walk, no run away." Troubled, he turned over on his side, *After all, I am in love with Amy-right?*
Later that night:
"Why does he keep doing this to me?!" Nora wailed to Cora, who rocked her distraught, older sister back and forth in her arms. "This is just a guess," Cora said quietly, "but I really think it has everything to do with Amy. And maybe, it would help if you told him how you feel," Cora reprimanded gently.
Gently, Nora extricated herself from Cora's grasp. Sitting up straight on the sofa, Nora squared her shoulders, "Well, he has to make up his mind, though I will be darned if I'm going to wait around for him to decide. I'm tired of being used as his personal yo-yo. From now on, I'm only heading in one direction: forward!" Nora exclaimed, the fierce light of determination in her eyes.
In the days and nights that followed, Matt desperately sought out Nora before and after his matches, but she was nowhere to be found. Finally, one night, Matt sat down in the locker room with Jeff and Shane and poured out his troubles to the duo: "I can't stop thinking about her," he confessed to the guys, "but now she won't even speak to me," Matt exhaled in frustration.
"I've tried calling her, but she never answers the phone. I've even left a few messages on her machine, but she never calls back." Matt swung his legs back and forth idly, staring at the concrete floor.
"Well, maybe it's because you keep stringing her along," Shane and Jeff responded simultaneously.
"Don't everyone speak at once," Matt shot back sarcastically.
"Well, you got yourself into this mess bro," Jeff responded, standing up to stretch. "She's been burned before and when you left that night, it was equal to plunging a knife into her heart and twisting it. The bottom line is: If you love Nora, just tell her-otherwise let her go."
"I do love Nora!" Matt blurted out, surprising even himself. "It's just that I, I guess I'm scared to let Amy go, but I don't want to lose Nora-like I did Amy," Matt finished quietly. Shane and Jeff looked at each other in wonderment, "I'm proud of you big brother, it takes a lot of guts to come to terms with your past," Jeff commended Matt.
"And then to admit it publicly," Shane added in admiration.
"You can do this though Matt, fear is the biggest obstacle in your way now," Jeff encouraged, "after all, fear is only a four-letter word," Jeff finished with a small smile.
The following evening:
"Nora, would you just listen to me?" Matt pleaded, grabbing her arm as she started to walk away.
"No, I'm not going to listen to you speak those wonderful, flowery words, only to throw them back in my face!" Wrenching her arm from his grasp, Nora stormed off into the night, towards the parking lot. Dejectedly, he turned to head back inside, but suddenly, a shrill scream pierced the air.
