Adventures of a Darkened Moon
 
Chapter 2: A boy named Matthew

“Happy 13th birthday Sam” I sat there glumly listening to Evanescence on my c.d. player. As my favorite song ‘Sweet Sacrifice’ ended, I got up and left. I went for a walk listening to ‘Bring Me to Life’.

“Ow!” I bumped into a tall 14 year old. “Hey! Watch…” I started to yell but stopped short.

“Watch what?” I looked at him. He was a little taller than I was with black hair, baby blue eyes, and freckles.

“Sorry I thought you were this jerk guy from the orphanage.” I said coldly

“If he’s from the orphanage than he must have a reason for being like that. Don’t judge him unless you know what he’s been through.”

I held back the tears. “DON’T TELL ME I DON’T KNOW WHAT HE’S BEEN THROUGH!” I turned around and ran off.

“Hey, Wait! Come Back!” He started to run after me. I fell on my knees as I finally let the tears out that I had been holding in for 9 years. 

Soon he had caught up. He grabbed my shoulder “Hey! Are you okay?”

I looked back at him with wide eyes “You… You came after me?”

He smiled and wiped away my tears. “Yeah. I was worried about you.”

I looked at him in shock. “Huh? You were worried?”

He laughed, “Of course I was. It’s not everyday I get to meet I girl who runs off crying after only a few sentences.”

I smiled “You know what?” I sat up and smiled

“What?”

“It’s kinda nice having somebody that actually cares about me.”

He looked at me and laughed. “My names Matthew. Matthew Allen”

“My names Samantha”
