A/N: Short chapter is short, but I got a really nice review so I went onto my old laptop where i started this and emailed it to myself, and this is what happened to already be written. Sorry for the wait for the 2 people who followed it! haha well here you are. I might have another chapter by the end of the night, don't know. And at the end of this story I introduce May, and I promise it's relevant.
Watching Matt laugh was like going back to Whammy's where nothing was wrong, but of course that was short lived and it all came burning down when an unconscious Matt fell into my arms. I don't really remember much of what was happening but I do remember about a million things going through my mind all at once. I knew I was screaming and I don't think my mind fully comprehended why, but then there were doctors rushing into the bathroom.
I don't know if I was screaming more when Matt fell or when they were pulling me away from him. I know I threw some punches at a few nurses but I don't think I got them, but it was enough for them to call security to restrain me. They held my arms around my back until I had calmed down and was breathing regularly again. I pulled out of their grips and started walking away. They watched me closely as I made my way to the seat that was outside of Matt's room, making sure I wasn't going to barge in there and disrupt more things.
Matt. Matt. Matt. That was pretty much all that was going through my head. The memories we had together back at Whammy's. Trying to find each other again after I made the stupid mistake of leaving, thinking it would be the right thing. Living with Matt. What would happen if he got sicker, or if he died. What would I do, I don't think I'd be able to live knowing that what I live for is dead. And of course that led to the thoughts of how I feel about Matt in general.
I knew I loved him. I've known that since I was about five. 15 years of one-sided love. Most people would have given up, or went and found somebody else. But me? My love for Matt just got stronger and stronger. The more I was around him the deeper I fell into the hole called love.
Most people will say that I can't love somebody at five. Let alone realize sexuality. But growing up without any parents or guardians. With the only fatherly figure you have gone most of the time, you realize the love around you a lot quicker. Of course I didn't realize that it was love then, just deep, deep friendship. But when I turned eight, and all the boys were getting crushes on the girls, I was getting crushes on them. Well not them but Matt. Just Matt.
I must have looked like I was in really bad shape, because a little girl walked up to me. "Are you alright Mister?" I looked up, and I went wide eyed. She looked just like Matt, just in girl form. She had long red hair, not quite as abnormally red as Matt's, but red none the less. She had these deep emerald green eyes. She was beautiful. "Mister?" I was pulled back into reality. "I-I'm fine" Wow, I'm smooth. Stuttering to a six year old girl.
"I don't think you are" Guess she's smart, but then again it mustn't be that hard to tell the way I'm crying.
She reached up to my chin and pulled it up so I was looking her in the face. And the next moment she had her small arms locked around my neck and I was hugging back. "I'm May."
"Mello."
"Well, it's nice to meet you Mello"
I pulled away slightly leaning back into my seat, "It's nice to meet you too, May"
Next thing I knew, May was getting pulled violently out of my arms. "PERVERT!" I heard a woman yell, and start to drag May away, assuming it was her mother. "You don't go near to random people May!"
"But he isn't a random person Mommy, he's Mello!"
The woman turned to me. "So, Mello, what do you want with my daughter?!"
Guess I could have been nicer, but my defensive side took over, " I don't want anything from your daughter! She was just giving me a hug, what do you think I am a fucking rapist!?"
"For all I know you could be." With that, she stormed off harshly pulling May by the arm. At the end of the hall I saw her pull her around a corner and yelling started but to my honest disliking a slap was heard, and I could hear May crying. That was going to fucking stop.
