CHAPTER 11
As the cab slowly pulled up the Amy's driveway, she paid the driver and gathered her things before heading up the snowy steps. Dawn was with her, weeks ago they had planned on her staying there so all her stuff was already set up in Amy's house. Dawn had offered to stay at a hotel, but Amy took the high road and allowed Dawn to stay with her. Plus, deep down, in Amy's new forned black heart, she felt the need to have someone there tonight, just so long as she wasn't all alone.
As Amy stood on the front step, the cold frosty winds blew through her hair. It was March, but the snowstorms seemed to be more frequent. She hesitated turning the key in the lock and Dawn noticed her shaking.
"Amy you alright?" Dawn asked as she bounced from side to side trying to stay warm.
"Uh, y-yeah-" Amy studdered but dropped her keys. "Dammit!" She hissed as she bent down and dug through the snow to find her keys. Dawn looked at her worried, but kept tight-lipped. Finally, Amy found them and slowly opened the door.
Her heart raced as she turned on the lights in the entrance and saw bags galore. Some hers, some Dawn's, and some Matt's. Amy glued her eyes to the floor as she took off her winter stuff and Dawn could feel the awkwardness. Her place was filled with reminders of Matt, them being the last thing Amy needed. All the photos, and magazines, sunglasses, jackets, sweaters, and pants, they all were painful reminders.
Dawn slowly walked over to a pile on Amy's couch of a half packed bag of Matt's stuff, and started to put them away.
"Y-you don't have to do that..." She said not really knowing what she wanted.
"It's ok Amy, I'll just move it out of your way." Dawn said softly.
"Listen, I'm just going to go to bed. Make yourself at home, you know where everything is." Amy said tiredly as she held onto the banister for support up the stairs.
"Yeah, and thanks again Amy. I really appreciate you letting me stay here and all." She said gratefully as Amy nodded her head. Amy headed upstairs, and Dawn headed to the kitchen for a snack before she went to bed. The fridge door was filled with pictures of Matt, or Amy, or Matt and Amy. Little notes filled Amy's 'note box' by the phone. Dawn picked up some and smiled when she read them.
'I'm going to be home late, order for me k? love you.' -M
'Amy, where the hell are you? I've looked everywhere. Call me. love you.' -M
'Quit leaving. Everytime I come here, your off somewhere looking for me. call me. love ya xoxox' -A
Silly little notes made Dawn laugh a little. The notes were simple but sweet. She also noticed all the little notes made on things hanging on the fridge. As Dawn looked more closely, she realized Matt, like a kid with a crayon, had drawn on almost everything. 'Matt' or 'Mamy' [name matt and amy together] was drawn on everything, as if to mark his presence in her house. It was kiddish, but sweet nonetheless. Every where you looked, there had to have been a reminder or marking showing that Matt 'lives' there. Poor Amy... Dawn thought at how hard it would be on Amy. Omg Amy... Dawn realized as she slowly went upstairs and saw Amy leaning against the wall across from her bedroom.
"Sweetie you alright?" Dawn asked as she looked at Amy's sad eyes.
"I can't go in there." She said sadly. "Everywhere I look, there's something about Matt. I try to put him out of my head, but everywhere i look, I see a picture, note, clothes, everything. I can't even go to my own room to cry because I'll just see more things that'll make me cry even more." Amy sobbed and looked like a little girl, afraid as she leaned against a wall, her chin down on her chest as she fiddled with her fingers. "What am I going to do..." She mumbled as she looked up and saw Dawn looking at her. "What?"
"I can't even imagine how hard this is for you right now." She replied sighing.
"I can't stay here." Amy concluded as she removed herself from the wall. "I have to go somewhere, away from here."
"From your house?"
"North Carolina. This state ain't big enough for the both of us. I'll go to my mom's or something in Florida, just for a couple of days. This is insane..." Amy shook her head. "I just need some down time, without him being everywhere." She said as she braced herself and slowly walked into her room, Dawn following behind her. "Look, our bed, I can't sleep in that, I'd never sleep alone in that, Matt was always there. The bathroom, Matt would always surprise me in the shower, or take up the mirror while I tried to do my hair and makeup. The closet, all the extra clothes that are too small for him, like hoodies and sweaters I wear to keep me warm. It's just too much." She sounded disappointed but it was just overwhelming at all the unwanted memories. "I'll grab a few things, hope I can get a flight out of her ASAP." She said as she hurried like a busy bee gathering fresh clothes and such. Dawn just stood there not really knowing what to do.
"Don't leave..." Dawn said not really knowing why she said it, instinctive she guessed.
"Why not?"
"I-I don't know..."
"You can stay here for as long as you want. If you need anything, you know where to call me. It's not like I'm packing my bags and moving in with my mom. It's only for a few days." Amy said doubtfully.
"Are you sure? Only a few days? You're still coming back right?" Amy hesitated to answer. Dawn didn't know, neither did Amy. "Amy?"
