feet. "How do you know?" He asked him not facing him. "I overheard you and Annie

talking and I saw her hitting you" He said, Matt sat down on ground "Matt?" Michael

said as he said as he sat next to him. Matt buried his face in his arms. "I don't know what

I ever did to her to deserve this," he told him. "Matt, it's not your fault" Mike said. 'Well

it doesn't matter because I broke up with her but I am afraid that now she'll hurt me even

more now" Matt said. "Don't worry I'm here I won't let her hurt you I promise" He said

Matt lifted his head and wiped his tears away "Thanks" He said then he heard "Matt!" He
