the search for paradise

Matt's point of view

"Penny!" I kept calling after her.
I stopped my her locker, where Stephanie posed.
"What did you do?" I demanded.
"Me? Oh, well, I didn't do anything," she acted all innocent.
"Don't lie to me," I spat, "What did you say to her?"
She smiled grimly.
"Get out of my way." I stepped forward. Instincively, she stepped back.
I stared into her fake colored eyes that were surrounded by layers of makup.
"Oh, Matt," she said softly. She lifted a finger and started to trace it around on my chest.
Without looking away, I grabbed her finger and twisted it, hearing a snap.
She yelped in pain, cradling her finger. She peeked at it.
"You broke my nail you *sshole!" She screeched.
"If you don't get out of my way, you're going to have to get another nose job," I warned.
She gawked at me. I pressed my forearm against her, shoving her away from me before running to find Penny.

Penny's point of view
I woke up to my phone ringing at almost six o'clock. It was Matt. I hit ignore and tossed my phone onto my jacket on my floor. I sighed and got up and walked into the bathroom. I almost fell over because of the unbearable pounding in my head.
I gazed into the mirror at the mess that looked back at me. Red, puffy eyes, red splotched all over my face, black streaks of mascara stained the girl's cheeks.
 I turned the water on and splashed some cold water on my face. I wiped off all the makeup and breathed deeply, trying to think.
How can I just give up Matt?
We love each other, and without him, I wouldn't know what I would do. He's my everything.
I pictured him and Stephanie together and almost started bawling again.
I stopped myself by pushing the thought out of my head. I slowly went back into my room, changed into some sweats and a tee, tossed my hair up into a messy bun, all the while pondering. I grabbed the huge monkey that was on my bed and hugged it tighter than ever.
I plopped myself down onto my huge bean bag at the end of my bed. I layed there for what seemed like an eternity.
A few times, my phone kept ringing Matt's ringtone, but I didn't move.
I just layed there, thinking, and thinking. I thought about our little adventures. Our first kiss on top of the brightly lit ferris wheel at that cute little fair.
Our first night together on the beach, me just laying there in his arms under the stars, gazing at his perfection as he slept soundlessly.
When he would come up behind me and whisper: "I love you baby," in my ear, making me giggle.
The way he kissed me as we watched the sunset on the edge of the docks at the pier the same day his sister was engaged.
When we ran away to Las Vegas for a weekend. When he tossed me over his shoulder and carried me through Circus Circus.

Then it hit me..
I'm in love with Matthew. And there is nothing that's ever going to destroy what we have.
I jumped up and grabbed my phone, butterflies tickling my stomach. I punched in Matt's number and waited.
One ring....two rings.....three rings....voicemail. My heart sank.
It's okay, he'll call back in just a minute, Maybe he's driving. I thought.
After about five minutes, I called again. Voicemail.
"Matt, please listen to me. I really need to talk to you as soon as you get this. Call me back. Or just come over, I really need to hear your voice and we need to talk. Please. I'm sorry." My voice cracked on the last word . I ended by hitting the end button. I forced myself to stop before I could go on until the tears that are welling up in my eyes begin to spill. I breathed in deeply and out, holding back more tears. I slowly walked back into my bathroom to take a hot shower and think some more..
