Grief

I've been holding on to this one for so long, and I don't know why.
This short story was written for a Uni assignment last semester, and was generally well received.
It is based largely on my own emotions at the time of writing. Though I had never lost a love in the way Matthew has, I was still in grief over the lack of a love. Thankfully that situation resolved itself during the writing of this story, which led to the much lighter conclusion.
Read and enjoy.

'A blue scaled dragon was stood in the doorway.'
Spell checker wont catch this, but a perfectionist will
---
'even if some small and hidden part of him wasn't glad to see his friend'
Pretty minor error. "Wasn't" should be "was".
---
'with a forgiving and understanding smile on his face; for Matthew knew that’s what the smile meant'
Semicolons tend to link two related sentences, when they can not work as a single unit (at least as far as I know). This would work far better if you just used a comma.
---
'He didn’t want to understand him.'
The previous reference was to Matthew, so mentioning "him" seems to refer to Matthew, rather than (as I would put it instead) 'the dragon'.
Apart from all that, I quite enjoyed the story. I don't have enough life experience to call you on the ending, but I will say it seemed to me a little too abrupt the first time I read it.
And with that all said... Thanks for sharing
I've taken those corrections into account, thanks!
