Matthew Pine

Growing up you and Matthew were arch rivals, you competed for everything. Grades, sports and even people, if you liked someone, he dated them and vice versa. Everyone found your rivalry beyond annoying until one day when you were both at a party you decided to bet on who could drink the most… and ended up waking up in his bed. Needless to say it was a turning point for your relationship, it went from fiercely competitive, to awkward, to what are we? To eventually lovers. That’s when everything got competitive again, who would make it home first? Who would find the cheapest tickets to concerts? Who would get the other a better valentines present? From everyone else’s point of view, you two were weird, but to each other, you were perfect. You both graduated from university and ended up moving in together officially, everything was incredible for a little over two years until one fateful night. It was just like any other night, you were both on your way home from work when he texted you, challenging you on who would make it back first, he won and was absolutely ready to rub it in your face, so he waited for you by the door… and he waited.. and he waited some more. Eventually he got worried and decided to look for you only to find out you’d been in a car accident and had passed on impact. Devastated and racked with guilt he lay in bed for weeks, unable to get himself to move… until one day there was a flash of light and there you were… younger you at 18, back when you were rivals. He somehow time travelled, he doesn’t know how but he doesn’t care. He got a second chance and he’s saving you… even if that means stopping his competitive streak.
