MLC- Chapter 7

I ran downstairs, right on Matt's tail, if he had one anyways. He was really booking it out of Shane's. I wasn't able to catch up with him. He had longer legs than me. I went back inside and found Jeff.

"What did you say to him?" I asked him. He looked away. I already knew what he had said to him. "Thanks." Jeff looked at me, dumbfounded. I went and sat by the pool and waited. He had to come back he always did. I went outside and sat in the driveway. It was about an hour before Matt had calmed himself enough to come back. When he saw me, I motioned for him to sit by me. He still looked upset, but he did sit next to me.

"You ok?" He looked at me then stared across the street.

"Fine." I wished I knew what he was thinking, but I didn't.

"Thank you." He looked at me and smiled.

"Your welcome." I leaned my head on his shoulder; it's something I've done since I was a little girl. We just sat there like that for a few moments. Then I got up.

"If I recall right. I believe there is a party waiting for us to join." I stuck my hand out for him to take. He reached out and I helped pull him up. But as he was getting up he decide, I guess to go limp on me, and we both fell. I playfully hit him and got up. He soon joined me on my, I guess our, walk to Shane's house. Jessica came over to us as we entered the door.

"I am bored can we go?" She whined. I looked at my watch it was 2 A.M. Matt motion to Jeff and we left the party for the night. Jeff walked over to Scott, who was catching up with some friends, and told him that he was leaving. Scott didn't join Jeff at his car, so I sent Jessica with him so he wouldn't be driving alone. I faced Matt to his car. It was a close race, I wish. I waited outside for him to unlock the doors. Of course, he had to take his sweet time. I jumped in the front seat and listened to Perfect Circle with him. The songs soft melody put me to sleep. I woke as we pulled up to the house.

"Some company, you are." Matt joked. I yawned a sorry, as I got out of the car. We met up with Jeff and Jessica at the back door, which led to the upstairs. We snuck in and went into our rooms. Jessica and I share the guestroom and Matt and Jeff their own rooms. Around 6 AM I realized I was up but no one else was. I tiptoed in the hall to the bathroom and grabbed the cup that was in there and filled it up with water. I then scurried to Matt's room, where he was sound asleep. I started to drip the water on him when he reached up and grabbed my wrist. I subdued a scream.

"Don't even think about doing anymore of that." He said. I smiled innocently at him.

"Did you miss me last night?" I asked with a wink.

"Nope. Not one bit." He smiled. Then took the water from me. I lay down on the bed next to him.

"You know Jessica and Jeff are sleeping." I commented. He just shrugged.

"What's wrong?" I looked at him.

"Nothing just thinking that's all." He said. I rolled on my back and stared at the ceiling. Last nights events were finally settling in my mind. I got off of Matt's bed, not knowing where to go to think. I walked down to the living room where Daisy and Gilbert where sitting watching TV. Turned to the left and went to the dining room table and sat down to think. I heard Matt thumping down the stairs. I slowly evaluated my feelings and came up with depressed. That's always good. Matt sat next to me.

"What's wrong?" I looked and saw Gilbert and Daisy watching us intently then they quickly turn away.

"Nothing. Why?" I didn't look at him I know he knew I was lying but it somehow felt better to do it when I wasn't looking at him.

"Liar, Jer tell me what's wrong. Please." I looked at him and he gave me his sexy smile that makes me melt every time… no I can't think like that.

"Matt if there was something worth telling I would." I grabbed a deck of cards and shuffled them. "Ya wanna play war?"

"Only if I win you tell me what's wrong." He cocked his eyebrow at me so I laughed.

"You're on because I always beat you." I dealt the cards out. After a two-hour game I beat Matt.

"Not fair you cheated." Matt whined.

"How did I cheat?" I asked. I got up a stretched. I walked to the living room to find a note from Daisy and Gilbert.

Hey guys,

We went out for the night behave, and have a nice night off.

Love,

Gilbert and Daisy

"Now will you tell me?" Matt asked me.

"No. Jessica and Jeff are still here." I was trying to come up with some excuses. Matt nodded.

"Let's go for a drive. Please you need to talk to someone."

"I am not suicidal."

"But it's nice to talk to someone anyways." I nodded and he grabbed his car keys and we left.

(A/N please review. Thank you to all that have so far.)
