Matt got home and dumped his bag on the floor. He, Jeff and Amy were having a well-deserved week off. He had been avoiding Amy ever since their 'little incident' a few days before. Although they had to go through their promo backstage, Vince gave them separate room at the hotel, after hearing what had happened. Sighing, Matt picked up the phone and rung Amy's house. When there was no answer after five minutes, he decided to cal round. So, he got in his car and drove to her house. Hesitantly, he knocked on the door and waited fir her to answer. As soon as she did, she was genuinely surprised to see him there.

"Matt, what are you doing here?" Amy asked, stepping to the side so he could enter. He walked straight into the living room and headed over to the sofa.

"I want to apologise for the other day," he replied, sitting down. "There is no justification for what I said. I guess I've been stressed out about everything lately. Please forgive me Ames. You're my best friend and I don't want to lose you."

"Matt, you know I'll always be here. I'd never leave her." He hugged her tightly, breathing in the scent of her thick red hair. They pulled apart and she put the TV on, offering him something to eat. He shook his head and lied down on the full length of the couch as Amy joined him, resting her head and against his chest. It was already late and the travelling had made them exceptionally tired so it didn't take long for them to doze off. When Matt woke up at 3am, he picked Amy up and carried her up stairs, into her room as he went into the spare room.

Next day, Matt woke up at midday and went into the kitchen. She still wasn't up yet so he decided to make her breakfast. He got all the food out and made her eggs on toast, a bowl of strawberries, a small bowl of cereal and some orange juice. Her put it all on a tray and got a fresh red rose from the back garden before taking it up to her. He woke Amy up and she was shocked that he had made her breakfast. She kissed him on the cheek then began eating it, complimenting on how delicious it was. Matt had to get home so said goodbye to Amy and drove back to his house. As soon as he got in, his phone was ringing.

"Hello?" he asked, shrugging his jacket off.

"Matt, it's me, Amy. I just called to say thanks for breakfast and Josh just phoned. He said that he has something to ask me when we go out soon. Can you take me?" she asked, hopefully. His heart crumbled at Josh's name but he agreed to give her a lift anyway. They said goodbye then hung up. Matt went to his room and put the radio on, listening to one of the songs that had just began. The radio presenter introduced the song as Backstreet Boys' 'How Did I Fall In Love With You'. Suddenly getting an idea, he drove to the local store and bought the CD then returned home and pulled out a notebook and pen.

'Dear Amy,

I want to start off by saying that I really am truly sorry for the upsetting things I said to you the other day. I said some regretful things and I fell so guilty about it all. I never meant to say that you were pathetic. The fact is, you are so amazing. You have played a huge part in my life the past few years and I am so glad that I can share it with you. I'm not just saying it in hope for your full forgiveness, I'm telling you this because it's true.

Can you remember the first day we met? I do, as if it were yesterday. I woke up that same morning, knowing something good was going to happen to me, something positive that would change my life. Jeff noticed that I seemed different but I couldn't explain what I as feeling. Then, at the independent promotion at my old high school, you entered and all my questions were answered. From the moment I first saw you, I knew that you were going to be a very important person to me and you did. Amy, you managed to fill a place in my heart that no one has ever filled before. Things became better when we began training together and I'm glad to see you succeed in life.

But right now, I have so many built up emotions inside of me. Ames, ever since I met you, I've thought of you as this strong willed, amazing person who is also beautiful, sexy, smart, strong and wont give up on anything. You follow your dreams and don't care what people think of you. I love and admire that about you.

Thing is, seeing you with Josh cuts me up inside. I get jealous seeing you together, wishing I was in his place, wishing I was with you. That' why I blew up the other day. I have always been a dreamer, and I often dream about you. I'm afraid that I've lost you though. As you can probably already guess, the purpose of this letter, to tell you I love you. I hope you fel the same but if the feeling isn't mutual, then don't worry. It won't matter and hopefully won't change anything between our friendship. I can't live without you in my life completely. I have always loved you, ever since I first laid eyes on you, and I always will, no matter what. Listen to the tape enclosed with this letter, as well.

Matt xxx.'

He put the letter and tape in an envelope before writing her address on it and walking to the nearest post box. He placed a kiss on the letter and felt his heart beat faster as he dropped it through the slot. That was it, she would soon find out how he really felt about her and all he could do was wait.
