Matthew heard the sound of the shower. He turned his head in that direction. She was in there. He probably hurt her bad. She was probably crying. What kind of monster was he that he hurt the one person who treated him right? What kind of person did that? He looked back in the direction he had been staring in. Waiting for her without barely breathing. What if she got mad at him for coming? What if she didn't want him here? He heard the door open up and turned his head. Seeing her he stood up. Flushing a bit as he saw her blushing. "Viola..." He said. Unsure what to say at first. Tears in his eyes. "Viola I'm sorry. I'm sorry for most likely hurting you. I'm sorry I ran off but I was scared." He said softly.<br/><br/>"I was scared and I panicked. I was sure you would hate me. You probably do but I wanted to let you know I'm really sorry for that. I was scared you would leave me and then I'd be all alone. That you would hate me when you were the only one who cared about me. They told me that. That people would hate me if they knew. If they knew and when you kept asking. When you saw the wounds bleeding I was certain once you figured it out you'd hate me. So...so I ran out of fear. Fear of being left. Yet when I was at the beach...I realized. I realized how much I trust you. That I trust you more than I have anyone since my grandmother. So I'm really sorry...please forgive me Viola. Forgive me for most likely hurting you because i was afraid." He spoke and stepped closer.<br/><br/>Then stopped as a tear trailed down his cheek. "I was afraid to lose you and wouldn't blame you if I did. If you hated me for running off. When I was at the beach I realized I'd dropped my knife. Thats when I knew you'd most likely know. I was even more afraid you'd hate me. They told me if anyone ever found out i did that that I'd be hated and left." He said softly. "Please forgive me Viola. It won't happen again. I realized I trust you. I trust you not to leave me but I was so afraid you would. Fear got the better of me." The blood dripping off his fingertips and onto her carpet. The bandaging blood soaked on the side touching the wounds.
