A/N: I still own nothing. Story's getting pretty good huh?
Yep, he was reallyyy mad. Not just a you're stupid mad, but a you crossed the line mad. He got out of his own truck and walked over to mine. Eyes narrowed the whole walk and the yanked the door open just staring at me. "Scoot over." He said and I did as he said, sliding over to the passenger seat.
"You planning on taking me back to the station or are you going to hold me hostage?" I asked rubbing my temples and closing my eyes. It was around 7 in the afternoon so the sun had set making at dusk. I figured he would drive out here, tell me how stupid I was then drop me off so he got get back to Hallie. Looked like Matt was more unpredictable than I gave him credit for.
"Why?" He asked and I knew he wasn't asking about why I asked if he was taking me back to the station. He turned and I saw tears starting to form in his eyes and for the briefest of moments I almost felt sorry for him…almost. "Do you have any idea how worried I was about you? But that Rossi guy wouldn't tell me anything. Just kept staring me down."
"Yes because when I'm worried about you I go and screw Kelly." I barked and that caused him to flinch. So appearently Kelly hits a nerve. I need to tuck that away for future reference.
"She's my fiancée Hannah, I don't see why you're so upset about that." He said trying to figure it out. I sighed and shook my head.
"Just never mind Matthew, it's been a long day…I just wanna go to bed." He slammed his hands on the steering wheel startling me. I jumped and looked at him. His eyes were wide and his nostrils flaring. So now what, because I wanted to avoid an argument he was going to make an argument over that fact? Gee that made perfect sense, note the sarcasam.
"No, no never mind. We're sitting here until you tell me what's going on." He demanded and I had to admit I was a little scared by this side of him.
"Just me being a girl, no big deal. Can we go now?" He grasped my wrists forcing me to look at him.
"I may not have seen you for 6 years, and I may have said things I shouldn't have, but I can still tell when you're lying so spill." God way to freaking guilt trip me Matt. I sighed and covered my face with my hands.
"Yesterday Hallie told me to keep my paws off you, that you were hers." I said and risked a peek threw my hands and saw he had his deep thought face on. Uh-oh this was never good. "Matt-"
"Shush I'm thinking." He said waving his hands about him like a crazy person.
"What could you possibly have to think about right now besides getting me to a bed so I can sleep?"
"How to deal with this now shut up dammit." He growled and I raised my hands defensivly,
"Well sorry, what are you trying to deal with?" I said.
"Nothing Hannah, just sleep or something, we're going now." I grabbed the keys out of the ignition and stuck them down my shirt.
"We're not going anywhere, I told you, now you tell me." I said and he rolled his eyes.
"What are we four?" He said holding his hand out for the keys but I shook my head no. "Give me the keys Hannah." He said like an angry father talking to a child that had disobeyed.
"Then tell me what you're thinking about." I said with finality.
"You're so damn stubborn."
"And so are you." I said with a smug look on my face.
"Just…how things have changed…between Hallie and I." He said not looking at me.
"What changed, you both sounded perfectly fine 2 hours ago." I said a bit bitterly.
"It's just, I don't feel as crazy about her as I used to." I nodded, somewhat understanding of his situation. "That's enough heavy talking for now, let's get you to bed." He said and I handed him the keys.
"Hey Matt, thanks for coming and getting me." I muttered dozing off to sleep.
"Anytime love." He said squeezing my knee gently and it felt like he had set that area of skin on fire.
Too soon for my liking I was being shaken by Matt but I really didn't want to get up. He sighed and got out and scooped me up into his arms. "like I said, stubborn." He said closing the door behind him.
"I'm not stubborn, just tired." I muttered snuggling my face into the crook of his neck.
"She alright?" I heard the distant sound of J.J.'s voice asking someone worriedly.
"She's fine." Rossi said and I smiled knowing he had my back no matter what. Matt took my to his quarters and layed me down on the bed.
"You never answered the why part." He said laying down next to me. I mentally cursed him, I had hoped he had forgotten about that.
"…I don't like Hallie." I mumbled and hid my face in the pillow so I couldn't see his reaction. He burst out laughing and pulled me closer.
"And you couldn't just tell me that?" He said wrapping one arm around my waist as I snuggled my head on his chest.
"I'm a home wrecker remember." I said, it was my last attempt I had at an excuse for not just telling him.
"Hannah, I didn't mean to say that. I was just upset." He said ruffling my hair affectionately.
"Still Matt, do you have any idea how much that hurt? That you would say that to appease Hallie? He frowned and I knew I had said something wrong.
"I don't do anything to appease Hallie, I don't care if she gets mad at me or not."
"So you do think I'm a home wrecker." I sad raising an eyebrow at him.
"What? Hannah I just said-"
"You don't say that unless you think that Matthew." I said and got up grabbing my jacket.
"Hannah where're you going now?" He said getting up and shutting the door back closed, blocking my exit.
"Anywhere you're not, just go back to Hallie's or something." I said and shoved him out of the way.
"Is this why you're so emotional? Because of Hallie?" He said turning to me.
"I just wanted to be able to catch up. Appearently that's not gonna happen if she has anything to say about it.' I said a little louder than was really nessicary.
"Hallie doesn't control who my friends are."
"So you say." I mumbled.
"What does that mean?"
"If Hallie were to call you right now and tell you to go home…would you?" by the look on his face he knew he was defeated. "Exactly, now move so I can leave Matthew."
"And let you get yourself drunk again, I don't think so.' He said and picked me up and threw my on the bed.
"Matthew let me go!" I yelled struggling against him but he held me longer.
"There's so much more going on then you're telling me. But you're too upset to tell me, so if I let you go will you run/" I shook my head no and he released me Iran to the door but he was too quick. "Thought you said you weren't going to run?" He said pinning me against the door. His face so close to mine like earlier. Then his face was getting closer and he was only staring at me. Our lips touched for the briefest second when his phone started to ring. I closed my eyes so I wouldn't have to see his reaction.
"What Hallie?" Well he was a little agitated. "I'm sorry love, what is it?" Love, he loves her not me. And I needed to get that through my mind. I sighed and went about fixing myself. He snapped his fingers and I looked in his direction. 'What're you doing?' He mouthed.
"Leaving." I whispered and tried to leave but he stood against the door and held a finger up signaling for me to give him a minute.
"Listen Hallie, I'm a little busy right now." I could hear her yelling and he didn't say anything else just hung up. "You're not going anywhere Hannah." He said putting his arms around my waist and holding me close.
"Shouldn't you be on the phone with Hallie/' I mumbled into his chest.
"I'm doing exactly what I want right now." He said into my hair.
"Preventing me from leaving?" I said looking into his eyes and I swear my heart stopped for a second. Sadly he didn't get to say anything because Rossi knocked the door open pinning me and Matt to the wall.
"Kid Whatcha doing behind the door?" He said peering his head around.
"I was talking to Matt before you knocked the door open." I said from around his shoulder. Rossi shrugged.
"It wouldn't open, so I kicked." I rolled my eyes and pushed lightly on Matt's chest signaling for him to move so I was no longer pinned against the wall.
"What was so urgent Rossi?" I asked crossing my arms.
"We got a lead, you're gonna want to see this." He looked between me and Matt one more time before walking out.
"We'll talk later, you need to go." I nodded and he kissed my forehead.
'I'll see you later Matt." I said and closed the door behind me.
"You and Casey?" Morgan said showing up behind me and giving me a heart attack.
"Shut up Morgan?" I said elbowing him in the chest.
"Oh Hannah, have you seen Matt?" Turning I saw Hallie in…well to put it simply she looked like a whore.
"Uhh, he's in his quarters I think." I said and she smirked a little.
"Great, thanks Hannah." With that she turned on her heel and walked off to his quarters. I felt tears pricking my eyes.
"You alright baby girl?" Morgan asked rubbing my shoulder comfortingly. I wiped my eyes and nodded.
'Yeah, let's go see what Garcia had to say yeah?" I said and he nodded leading me to the garage. The whole time I was trying to ignore the image of Hallie in my mind. As we were leaving the garage Matt showed up and he looked dishevled, Hallie walked out soon after and she did as well. Doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out what happened?
"Hannah you staying with me tonight?" Morgan asked and Matt's head popped up.
"Yeah, if you don't mind." I said and hugged him. I didn't want to see Matt, I thought he loved me back…guess I was wrong. I walked past him and he tried to catch my arm.
"Hannah wait a minute." Morgan came up though and stepped inbetween us.
"Quit messing with her Casey, you have a fiancée.' He said his voice deadly as ice.
"Hannah…please." He said and I turned my head, I really didn't want him to see the tears flowing from my eyes. Didn't want Hallie to know she affected me this much.
"No." I said and ran out of the garage not caring where I was anymore, not caring that there was a crazy serial killer loose. I stood in the middle of the road and screamed angrily and threw myself on the road crying. I felt arms encircle me and left me. I was too exhausted mentally and physically to care who it was.
"I gotcha Hannah, everything's alright." Kelly. Damn he was so sweet and nice, why couldn't he be the one I was in love with?
