Sadly, I do not own Matt.
This is just for fun...
Jasmine...
I shouldn't have come tonight. I really wasn't in the mood.
Me and my boyfriend had broken up last week.
Turned out he was cheating on me while I was on the road. I would have done anything for him, and the bastard cheated on me.
And not just that.
He cheated on me with my best friend.
I'm best-friendless, and boy-friendless, and I'm not enjoying it at all...
The only good thing I guess it that I have plenty of pain and emotions for songs for my next album. Pain and heartbreak make great songs... Some of my favourite songs were written at the lowest points of my life...
I climb out of the taxi after paying the driver and make my way up the driveway. There are people everywhere, music blasting. God I hope they don't put on any of mine tonight. It's so embarrassing when they do...
I walk into the house like I own it. But then, Matt's house is always open to anyone... The small cooler bag in my hand holds my bottle of Vodka and carton of OJ. In the pocket of my jeans are a packet of cigarettes and some change for a taxi home...
My night it set...
"Ah, there she is... Jazzy!' I turn around at the yell of my name and smile at Matt. His arms were held out to the side, awaiting a hug. I stepped into his arm and wrapped mine around him...
Matt has always had fantastic hugs...
"Jason not coming?" He asked me when we stepped back... I don't know what kind of look crossed my face, but Matt noticed... "Oh no... What happened?"
"We broke up." I whisper. I don't think Matt heard me over the music, but I think he understood what I said...
"What did he do?" His voice held anger.
"Cheated on me with Bel."
"Shit..."
"Yeah... You just can't trust anyone these days."
"It will get better. Trust me." I nodded and smile a little. I knew Matt had gone through something similar.
"Can I put these in the fridge?" I asked, trying to avoid the subject by holding up my bag.
"Sure, sure... you know where to go." I smiled and turned from him as I headed for the kitchen... I found a clean cup, mixed myself a drink that was 3parts vodka, 1 part orange juice, and headed out to mingle a little...
...
Matt...
I watched Jasmine as she danced in the middle of the lounge room. I was worried... She has drunken way too much. And not just that, but she's mixed her drinks. I've seen here with Vodka, Jack Daniels and red wine... This was not good...
Jazzy was a rockstar. And she embodied the lifestyle. And it's not the sex, drugs and rocknroll lifestyle I'm talking about. Jazzy lives for life, for everything. And she feels everything so deeply.
She was smiling, and laughing, and dancing, but I knew she was breaking inside... And as hard as she is trying, I can see through her act...
Jaz was dancing with some guy. I couldn't remember his name, but he was familiar.
I watched them dancing, and didn't particularly like the way his fingers gripped her waist. He was being too handsy with her. Gripping her waist like she was nothing but his play thing...
It was really starting to get to me...
I wanted to put a stop to it, but I hung back. This was none of my business... Jas was my friend, but she wasn't mine... She could dance with whoever she wanted...
"Great party." A slap to my shoulder made me look to my left. Jeff stood there with a beer in his hands. He was swaying a little. He was well on his way to being drunk. Jasmine was worst them him though...
"Aren't they always." I grinned at him. I look back at the makeshift dance floor and back to Jas. Or at least that's what I would have done if she was still there.
In those ten seconds that I looked away, Jasmine had disappeared.
The guy was gone too...
I felt a tinge of panic shoot through me. And if I admit it, a zap of jealously.
Jas might not be mine, but I want her to be. I've always had a thing for her; we were both just never single at the same time. And neither me or Jas would ever cheat.
We only seem to date people who do though...
A scream came from outside. And it wasn't one of those fun laughing screams. It was a scream!
I pushed my way through the crowd in time to see Jasmine falling into the ice frozen pool...
