Chapter 15
Matt, Jeff and Amy had spent the entire day together, starting with lunch then the gym. As they sat in the car on the way to the arena, Amy looked at Matt who was sitting on her left as he drove and could here Jeff sitting in the back belting out a horrible version of "A Long December" by the Counting Crows and she realized how much she had missed them. In the past few weeks she had been going to LA to be with Seth, and had not taken in the fact that she was barely spending anytime with Matt or Jeff. She was about to invite them both to go out with her that night when her cell phone rang. Matt stopped at the red light and looked at her pointedly as the phone continued to ring. Jeff immediately stopped singing, further heightening the burgeoning tension in front of the car. She reached for her phone, looked at the number and pressed the power button. The silence was so deafening in the car that Jeff reached over in between Matt and Amy and turned on the radio. When they reached the arena, Matt silently got out of the car and walked away.
"Do you think he knows that it was Seth?" Amy asked Jeff.
"Umm,it was kind of obvious don't you think, I mean you wouldn't pick it up."
"Yeah but do you think he's mad at me again?"
"Ames, there is no way Matt could ever be mad at you. He's loved you for too long and too much, and like I mean just as a person in his life, not like in the romantic sort of way, although he has obviously done that too. He's just still hurt from this whole deal with Seth, he'll get over it soon." Jeff said confidently, inside thinking about the expression on Matt's face when he was with Corinne.
"How do you know?"
"I just know, now let's go inside. Don't worry about it, watch I'm sure Matt will be perfectly fine when we get inside."
Meanwhile, Matt walked into the arena, angry with himself for feeling angry about Seth and Amy. He should have been over this by now, or at least his mind was telling him that but his heart couldn't accept it. He should have been used to Amy being the one to find someone new, he never seemed to be able to find anyone that could hold a candle to her during any of their break ups, or a person that he could connect with in any level that was in anyway close to what he and Amy had.
"You alright Matt?" Adam asked as he walked into the locker room.
Adam, Jay and Chris were sitting down each going over their dialogue for the night. Matt didn't say anything, just shrugged his shoulder and sat down on a bench. The three blondes all looked at each other, knowing that Matt was mad about something. He wasn't the type to show his anger but you could always tell when he was pissed since he just didn't talk.
"Hey guys," Jeff said, running into the locker room out of breath, he sat down next to his brother.
"Matt, you all right?" Jeff asked quietly.
"I'm fine Jeff," Matt said, then pulled out his disc-man and headphones and closed his eyes, trying to get over his anger. He didn't hear the knock on the door.
