Chapter 12
"Jesus Christ Jeff, was that you making all that noise?" Amy said, squinting her eyes at the bright hotel hall lights.
"Amy! What the heck are you doing here?"
"Umm...this is my hotel room."
"Yeah, but you weren't supposed to be here until tomorrow."
"Oh...yeah Seth and I had a little fight so I decided to come up early. Where's Matt?" She said, looking down the hallway.
"He's umm...he's stretching his legs after that drive." Jeff said, unsure of what to say.
"Well I'm gonna go to bed now...Bye!"
"Wait a minute, Jeff why are you acting so weird. " Amy asked.
"Um, I should sleep. I just need sleep. You probably do too Aims. Night." Jeff said, and quickly went into his and Matt's room.
"He gets weirder and weirder every day." Amy mumbled to herself, then went back into her room.
As soon as he heard the door close, Jeff ran out of the bedroom and arrived at the elevator just in time to see it open and Matt who was carrying Corinne walk out.
"What are you doing here? You're supposed to be holding the door open."
"Umm, Amy's here."
"What?"
"Yeah, she decided to come early. Where are we gonna put her?"
"Well, I guess she can sleep on one of the beds. You and I will just have to share tonight." Matt whispered, and began walking towards the room.
"Oh man...I hate the way you sleep. You always take the blankets!" Then shut up quickly when Corinne stirred in Matt's arms.
"Shh...you're gonna wake her up." Matt whispered as he waited for Jeff to open the door and pulled back the comforter on one of the queen beds. Matt placed her carefully on the bed and pulled the covers on top of her.
"She asleep still?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah, hopefully she'll be okay for the rest of the night."
"Good," Jeff said, beginning to take off his clothes.
"Hey, hey, go to the bathroom man, we got a girl in the room."
"But she's sleeping. She won't see any..."
"I don't care, go to the bathroom and change."
"Alright, alright, I'm going. I doubt I have anything she's never...well then again...I am very" Jeff mumbled as he ambled towards the bathroom.
In the meantime, Matt turned away and began to unpack his clothes. Jeff came out of the bathroom wearing a shirt and boxers. "Is this decent enough for her?" He asked, not waiting for an answer as he walked to the other bed and pulled the covers on. Matt didn't answer him and walked to the bathroom himself to change, and soon the room was filled with Jeff's deep breathing.
"Damn, out like a light." Matt muttered to himself when he walked out of the bathroom to find Jeff dead asleep on the bed.
As he went over to his side of the bed, he noted how peaceful Corinne looked. As he closed his eyes, trying to ignore Jeff's snore, which is damn close to impossible, Matt thought of the days events. He felt the anger come over him again as he thought of Corinne and what that kid had done to her. As if on cue, she sighed softly in her sleep, reminding him that she was in the room. He opened his eyes and stared at her, the graceful curve of her neck illuminated by the moon. He fell asleep thinking about how she looked in the moonlight and how glad he was that she was near.
