Chapter Eight:
~Friday Night~
"Hey!" Matt said as Jessi opened the front door revealing Matt.
"Hey yourself." Jessi replied back as they shared an embrace. I stood back unnoticed, watching. I had been doing a lot of that lately.
"You look beautiful, as always." Matt said as he pulled away from the hug and gingerly looked her over.
"Thank you. You look nice yourself also." Jessi replied as she turned around, looking for me. She quickly spotted me and waved me over.
"Lisha, look who just arrived." Jessi said as I walked over to the two.
"Hi Matt. It's just you right?" I asked cautiously as I tried to look over his shoulder. I didn't want any hidden surprises.
"Just me I swear!" Matt said as he held up his hands af if to wad me off. I could only chuckle as this. I gave a reasurring nod of my head and ggave him a hug of my own.
~Later That Night~
"Where did Lisha disappear to?" Matt asked from his place on the couch next to Jessi. They had been sitting there talking for what seemed like eternity.
"My god! We've been so wrapped up in our conversation I haven't the slightest clue. Here let me go find her." Jessi said as she started to get up, but Matt pulled her back down. She looked at him kind of stunned.
"You just stay put. I'll go, besides I want to have a private chat with her myself. I need to see how badly my brother screwed up this time." Matt said with a chuckle as he got up and left the room in search of me.
I was seated out on the back porch once again, I seemed to always be out there. I sat on the steps looking up at the moon, feeling sorry for myself once again. Why I let people get close to me so fast is far beyond me.
"How could I be so stupid?" I questioned aloud to the moon.
"Your not stupid." Came a reply from behind me. I turned to see Matt standing there, leaning against the door frame with his hands in his pockets.
"Yes I am. If only you knew..." I started, but stopped. 'I can't tell him.' I thought to myself. Matt walked over and sat down next to me and put a friendly arm around my shoulders.
"So tell me. I want to be someone you can trust." Matt said in a gentle tone.
"Matt, there is something about me that I want to tell you but it's not going to be easy. You see when I tell people this about me, I feel as if I'm letting them down, and I want you to know that I'm so happy to have met you." I said as I hung my head low so he wouldn't see my tears. Matt genlty lifted my head and looked into my watering eyes.
"Sweetie, whatever it is can't be that bad." Matt said.
"You see, that is where your wrong..." I started. Jessi soon came out to join us and she helped me tell Matt what I needed to tell him. I need to say this for my own sanity and to help him get the whole picture.
"Oh my god. Lisha." Matt said as he enveloped me in his arms in a tight embrace.
"Does Jeff know? I mean, did you tell Jeff this?" Matt asked as he pulled away from the embrace.
"I didn't get a chance to." I said as I shifted my gaze to the sandy ground.
~Two Days Later~
"Thanks for coming Matty." I said as we shared one last embrace of the weekend. I broke the embrace and walked back into the house to give Matt and Jessi some time alone.
"Will you call when you have time?" Jessi questioned. Matt smiled brightly and took her into his arms. They had gone out on a few dates over the weekend and they were quickly becoming a hot item and I loved it. Matt was becoming a very good friend, and Jessi was already a great friend of mine, so it's great that they can betogether like they are. I watched them unnoticed once again and I couldn't help but be jealous. 'God they are so lucky to have what they have together.' I thought to myself as I watched.
"Of coarse baby." Matt said into Jessi shoulder. He pulled away and brought his lips down to hers in a breath-taking kiss. It brought a smile to my face. Soon after the kiss broke, Matt was in his rentle car and on his way back to the air port to get the next city for the show that night. Jessi turned and walked back into the house once his car was out of sight. She shut the door behind her and turned around and was shocked at what she saw.
~At The Show~
"So, how is she? Matt! Talk to me man! I need to know." Jeff said as he followed his brother around the backstage area like a lost puppy.
"She seemed good, but better after I had some time with her. I must have a gift or something, I swear." Matt said getting off track.
"Argh! Matthew!" Jeff exclaimed frustrated.
"Ok. She seemed good, but you really screwed up. I think I helped her kind of get over the fact that you slet with her, took her virginity, and then after all that told her you had a girlfriend. I still can't believe you did that, cause that is very low, and specially for you." Matt said as they entered thier dressing room. When they entered they heard Matt's phone ringing. Matt pulled the ringing phone from his duffle bag and answered it.
"Hello." Matt said into the phone.
"Matt! I need you here! You need to com back and quickly." Jessi anciously stated into the phone.
"Why? What's wrong? Are you Ok?" Matt asked worriedly and Jeff cuaught onto this. 'Must be Jessi' he thought to himself as he continued to listen to Matt's side of the conversation.
"I'm fine. It's..it's Lisha. You need to come back, please, I'm scared." Jessi said as the tears rushed forward from her eyes.
"Are you at the house? Where are you guys?" Matt asked.
"County Hospital." Jessi said back.
"I'm on my way sweetie, don't worry." Matt said as he quickly hung up his phone and turned to Jeff.
"I've got to go, and now!" Matt said as he hurridly gathered all his things together.
"What is it? What's going on? Is it Jessi? Alisha?" Jeff asked nervously. Matt stopped what he was doing, contemplating wether he should tell Jeff what was going on or not.
"You better come too. I just hope Lisha doesn't get mad at me now." Matt said. jeff quickly gather his stuff together and then the brother were off to talk to the bosses.
