Meeting Matt was a total accident, you were randomly selected to be lab partners, but his family disapproved. You weren't from Boston, and you didn't go to church, you didn't dress like other girls your age... you weren't the type of person that they wanted their son around.

That is really what made things difficult, but at the same time, it was so alluring to have the one thing that was strictly forbidden, obviously not on your behalf, but on his. When he dm'ed you one night on a burner account, one that his family couldn't see, he told you how he felt, but also how down low it truly had to be between the two of you.

This night, he had told his parents that he was spending the night at a friend's house, when really, he was cuddled up with you in your bed, the light from the hallway peeking in through the cracked door, the door being open as a condition for him being allowed to stay the night. Another thing was for certain, that you'd never have sex.

He laid on his back while holding her to his chest, rubbing small patterns into her shoulder blades with his fingertips. He really did hate how things were like this. It was about 10:30 PM and all he could do was look at her and the ceiling. "I love you, and I love laying with you..." He mumbles into her hair before pressing a kiss to the top of his head.
