Stupid Alfred! Stupid Arthur! Stupid Francis! Stupid...everyone! Why can't they see me?!I hate them all!

Well...it all be over soon. I made it to the cliff. I looked over the edge. The rock-filled waters looked incredibly inviting. So many things were running through my head. But one thing in particular. A girl. "I'm sorry! Here, let me help you with that." God, she was so beautiful. I was paralyzed instantly. She put my glasses back on for me. That's where our friendship started... .......... "Matthew has something to say! I'm sick and tired of you guys ignoring him! Go on, Mattie. Say what you wanted to say." The first time she ever stood up for me. "I...I-I-I th-think...you guys n-n-need to stop ar-arguing....we never get anything done and....a-and there's...there's a ton we need to talk about..." She helped me. There was no way I could have done this without her. This was the moment. This moment right here is when I realized it... .......... "I can't always fight your battles for you! You need to man up on your own, Matthew. What happens when we graduate? What if we go to different schools? I'm not going to be there! You have to learn to fend for yourself! Sure, this whole shy guy thing is cute, I will admit that. But sometimes, like now...it's ridiculous! I'm sorry, but we can't be friends if I have to keep calming you down every time someone says one mean thing about you. You don't even want to know the things I've heard about me! But I deal with it! Now it's your turn to learn to deal with it." She stormed off. It was my worst nightmare. My personality finally grated on her nerves so much, she hates me... That was the worst part of all this. Not only was I completely ignored, treated like I don't even exist, but the woman I loved now hated my guts. I couldn't take it. I closed my eyes, preparing myself for the fall. I took a deep breath. I took a step forward. One more and I would be merely seconds away from my escape. Suddenly, I heard a shout. "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Two small arms wrapped around me and pulled me back. Whoever it was pulled so hard, we tumbled backwards. I ended up falling right on top of them. I felt bad, but before I could even apologize, my savior pushed me off them and collapsed on me, wrapped their arms tightly around me and buried their face in my hoodie. It was then that I finally saw who it was. Brielle. The only person who ever remembered my name. The only one who even knew I existed. She was saying something, but I couldn't understand her because she was sobbing. I had never seen her cry in all the time I've known her. But here she was. Sobbing. "...Brielle? What's wrong?" "M-M-M-Mat-Maaaattiiiiieee!!!" "What? What is it? Why are you crying?" I wrapped my arms around her.

"D-d-d-don't...d-d-don't do iiiiiit!" "....Huh?" Her breath started to return to normal. "Don't do it, Mattie! Please don't do it..." She trailed off, hugging me tighter. "I...I don't want you to. I don't want to lose you!" This was so unlike her. She was always so brave, especially around me. But now she looked so broken. Would me being gone really affect her that much? "Brielle, I...I don't understand..." "I love you, you idiot! I know I haven't exactly been an expert at showing it, but I'm not good at that sort of thing! I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but you were always so shy and...I couldn't tell if it was just because that's your personality or if you felt the same. And I didn't want to tell you if you didn't feel the same way but now I've said it and--" I cut her off. I kissed her. I had to! I had been waiting to do that for months but...never got the courage to. At first, she was frozen. She probably wasn't expecting me to kiss her. But then she relaxed, kissing me back as if these were her last few moments of life. After some time I tried to pull away, but she moved her hands behind my neck, holding me in place so I couldn't. So I kissed her a few more times, but then we both needed air and pulled away, our foreheads still touching. Once I caught my breath, I just smiled at her. She was smiling back even though tears were still falling from her beautiful ice blue eyes. I reached up to wipe away one of her tears, then left my hand on her cheek. "Je t'aime, Brielle." I whispered. Her eyes widened. "I...you...really?" "Yes. Why do you think I just kissed you?" I said, blushing. She smiled, but then suddenly frowned. "Then why were you..." She looked over her shoulder at the cliff. I could see her start to cry again. I pulled her back to me, resting her head on my shoulder. "Shh....shh...I didn't. I'm here." I said, as I started to run my fingers through her hair. "But you were gonna! Why?" "I...I've been in a dark place this week. I got fed up with almost everyone ignoring me. Then we had that fight...I thought you hated me. I thought there was nothing left for me anymore." "Well don't ever think like that again, ok? I could never hate you, Matthew. No matter what. I may occasionally be annoyed with you, but never hate. You know you can always come to me about anything. Even if we're in the middle of a fight, I'll still be there for you. I...I know I said I wasn't always going to be there for you. But...I just let my anger get the best of me! Of course I'll always be there for you!"

"I know. And from now on, I'll always be there for you." "Is that a promise?" She said, looking up at me. I couldn't help but smile. "It's a promise." I kissed her again to seal it. Once she pulled away, she moved slightly so her back was against my chest. I rested my chin on top of her head. I loved sitting with her, especially like this. It made me feel...different. Made me feel important, like I actually mattered. And that's what I love about Brielle Adams. With her, I matter.
