When they were in the car, Matt brought up the subject of Jesse and Laura. "So why did you decide to date one of your brother's best friends?" Matt laughed.
Laura laughed along with him. "Hey! Don't be blaming me! He came onto ME!"
Matt was still laughing. "Sounds like Jesse!"
The two sat in silence for a moment. Then Laura with her big mouth had to blurt out, "You like her, don't you?"
Matt put on a "confused" face. "What? Who are you talking about?" He asked, pretending to be confused.
"You know who I'm talking about. I know when guys like my sister. She's my sister." Laura explained.
"Your sister is just..well, she's like my sister. I couldn't like her like that. Plus Frankie would get mad." Matt replied.
"No he wouldn't, I'm going out with Jesse and he's not mad." Laura said.
"Yeah, I don't know if you've noticed, but Frankie is VERY protective of Stacey. They're either in a really big fight, or they're really really close. Right now they happen to be in a really really big fight." Matt said.
"He's not THAT protective of her..and if he's protective of her, why isn't he protective of me?" she asked, half joking.
"Well you're older than he is. Stacey's his only younger sister, and I guess he's taking the opportunity while he can. He wouldn't like it if Stacey had a boyfriend," Matt said. "Or if a guy liked her," he added.
They pulled into the parking lot and got out. Jesse came outside to see Laura and Matt went inside, not wanting to be in their way.
Laura gave Jesse a kiss but he could tell something was wrong.
"What's up, Laura?" he asked.
"Nothing..it's just that..I know Stacey and Matt like each other, even though they won't admit it..and Matt's afraid Frankie will get mad if he tells him..and I think that's what Stacey's afraid of too. I just wish there was some way we could help them, and make sure Frankie wouldn't get mad." Laura explained.
"I'm sure it'll work out..come on, I have to get to practice," Jesse said. Laura took his hand and they walked inside.
Laura laughed along with him. "Hey! Don't be blaming me! He came onto ME!"
Matt was still laughing. "Sounds like Jesse!"
