Chapter Nine
"I don't know who the hell you think you are, but I want to know why you're here, and what you said to her!"

Kyle hid his smile and offered a fake gasp. Why, dear Matt, whatever do you mean? Why would
I, being the sensitive and caring man that I am, want to come between the two of you?"

"Get off your high horse Kyle, and drop the act." Matt leaned forward, his face menacing, "Don't go near her. She doesn't want you."

"She doesn't want you either, loverboy. Apparently somebody wasn't doing their
job, eh Matt?" Kyle smiled ear to ear when Kyle reared back. "Oh, is it true? Why'd you break up with her Matt? Couldn't keep up?"

"You are the most rat-ass ugly, pig headed, sorry excuse for a human being to ever walk this planet Kyle. You disgust any life form you come across, don't you
get it? No one likes you Kyle. I never should've let you talk me into breaking up with her. She was the best thing that ever happened to me, and you lied to me. Why did I trust you? You told me that she cheated, that she cheated on me. I lost her because of you."

"Your loss is my gain, buddy. Word to the wise; never trust your girlfriend's ex. But now, you can't do jack about it! Because
Mandy won't believe the man who broke her heart for no reason."

"And you didn't? Gimme a break, Kyle. She'd rather die than take you back."

"Whatever you say, Matt. Just keep telling yourself that, over and over, really slow. I'm outta here. Nice doing business with ya,
buddy."

Matt stared at the door with a look of helplessness on his face. You can't have a hold on her again Kyle. Not unless you kill me first."

 
Some days are dry, some days are leaky
Some days come clean, other days are sneaky
Some days take less, but most days take more
Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor

Some days you're quick, but most days you're speedy
Some days you use more force than is necessary
Some days just drop in on us
Some days are better than others

Some days it all adds up
And what you got is not enough
Some days are better than others

"And me. Remind me to thank my mommy for the camcorder later." Nikki stepped forward and gave Matt a caring hug. "I'm sorry I didn't believe you Matt. I never meant to doubt you... but it just.... I'm really sorry."

"I know, and thank you. You have no idea how good it feels to have someone that is
with me. This isn't going to be easy. Proof or no proof."

Ooh, ooh
Do you ever think about me?
Do you ever cry yourself to sleep?
In the middle of the night when you're awake,
Are you calling out for me?
Do you ever reminisce?
I can't believe in nothing like this
I know it's crazy
How I still can feel your kiss

1 - It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away
I miss you so much and I don't know what to say
I should be over you
I should know better but it's just not the case
It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away
