Nightmare

Days went by and I was very sad. I missed David... but it wasn't that easy... Matt always asked me what was going on, but I couldn't tell him, he didn't know anything…. For all purposes, David was dating Kim...

Matt was different too, but I didn't asked anything... If I couldn't answer, I didn't have the right to ask.
Dave and I went back to being just friends. At least we were playing to be...

David invited me to go to a Fox party, he said he would take Matt too, but I got a shooting for the same day and I couldn't make it on time to go to the party. Matt was bugging me.

"But you HAVE to go, Anne!"

"I can't Matt! I can't refuse a job like this, no way…".

And besides, Dave was taking Kim, it's better not to see this depressing scene...

And I even had to go with Matt looking for a tux, he couldn't even do this by himself…

When I came home from the shooting, they had already gone to the party.

I tried not to think about what was going on there. I watched a movie and went to bed. I woke up with the cell ringing, I checked the clock, 3 am… unknown number. Since Matt's accident, those midnight calls freaked me out…

"Anne Lewis?"

I sat on the bed, my heart was racing.

"Yes!"

"This is from the Police station. Your brother Matthew was arrested, he is here with us… could you come over here?"

I was already picking up some clothes.

"Of course, I'm going there right now!"

I gave it a second thought. What if it was a prank? Someone trying to have fun in the middle of the night? I called Matt and Dave's cells, nobody answered. I decided to go to the police station to check. Some bad luck, the one day my folks weren't home! I got Matt's car and drove there.

"Hi man, excuse me! I'm looking for my brother, Matthew Lewis… is he here? What happened to him?"

"He's over there. He is here for assault."

And he pointed without even looking at me.

Matt was sitting in the hall, looking down. Before I could get to him, the delegate spoke…

"There's another one with him, he's coming with the officer...his situation is more complicated, he was arrested for assault and drug possession.

I looked back and dropped my purse.

It was David.
