Saturated, 5

"Matt?" Sarah curiously called down the hall when she didn't see him in her room.1

"Matt?" Sarah repeated while slowly going down the steps which led into the darkened living room of the now very lonely home.2

Peering into the living room and cautiously looking around in the darkness, she spotted a lump on the couch softly breathing up and down, the chest rhythmically rising and falling to a constant beat of it's own accord. 3

Surpassing the lump which she guessed to be matt, she went into the kitchen slowly and wearily, turning on the light and dimming it so as not to wake Matt, but provide enough light for making tea. 4

Pouring the hot watter into two cups with tea bags settled at the bottom and string hanging over the top, Matt came into the kitchen and with a look of effort sat down opposite Sarah. 5

"Hi" He said with a grimace taking a sip out of the tea Sarah had placed before him.6

"Hi, are you ok?" She asked with concern.7

"Yeah, I'm just tired...your couch isn't the comfiest to sleep" Matt said with a small smile.8

"Yeah, I know" Sarah replied returning the smile.9

"Did you sleep well?" 10

"Yeah I did...I feel refreshed, but still kind of out of it...but I think that's from the mid-afternoon nap"11

"I hate that feeling, the rest of the day goes in a blur" 12

"Yeah"13

"So what do you want to do now?" Matt said slowly and cautiously.14

"I don't know, but I think it would be best if you left" Sarah said with obvious aggrivation.15

"Can I ask why?" Matt said getting up from the table, surprised at Sarah's words.16

"I need to sort things out, and I can't do that with you here" Sarah said just as fiercly as before.17

"Fine, I'm leaving, thanks for the kind hospitality" Matt replied bitterly.18

"GET OUT!!" Sarah shouted at Matt with growing anger. 19

"I'M LEAVING, OK?" Matt answered with just as much volume.20

"THEN GET OUT!"21

Without responding Matt left with a mixture of emotions ranging from frustration, anger, surprise, and disbelief.22

Sarah on the opposite side of the door felt upset and hurt, and anger towards herself.23
