Rennee's Note: Hallo, mein peeps, since ya'll didn't review we decided to do two. Have fun reading!


Matthew first headed over to the bar to get a drink. Scotch perhaps? He sat there for a minute drinking it. OK, this was getting a little boring. No one was at the bar and the bartender was talking to some guy over at the other end. He could go to the other room? The one with the strippers... Yeah, that's right. Matthew was at a strip club. He didn't come here often, only when he felt like he had no where else to go because everyone just forgets him eventually. He could drink, or watch, until he forgot that fact. He got off his stool and headed over to the stage area where the girls were. It was very sparkly and there was a lot of... Skin. There must have been a shift change or something because the music changed and a new set of girls came out. Get Some by Chevelle was playing very loudly, cool guitar intro though. The entire song was pretty good actually.

He just stood there and watched until the song was over. That was when he noticed something about one of the girls on the stage. She looked very familiar, but it was hard to see in this place... Oh god, is that...

"MADDIE! YOU GET YOUR ASS BACK HOME AND PUT SOME FREAKIN' CLOTHES ON!" The girl Matthew was staring at looked at the second girl, who was now climbing on stage, in horror. Wait, he knew that woman! That was Alfred's girlfriend, Amelia. Which must mean...

"MADDIE!?" He yelled. Surprisingly, Amelia and Maddie heard him because they looked at him. Everyone else was to focused on the pretty american pulling the stripper off stage.

"MATTHEW!?" They both yelled. Maddie was freaking out even more and Amelia pulled her sister behind her back.

"CLOSE YOUR GODDAMN EYES! I WILL NOT LET YOU SEE MY SISTER LIKE THIS!"

Matthew saw Maddie whisper something to Amelia.

Even though Amelia used a normal voice, she was still heard. "Oh sorry, I'll stop yelling. But you still need to GET HOME BEFORE I BEAT YOUR ASS HERE IN FRONT OF EVERYONE! I'm sure they'd like that." She winked at the audience. The men hollered and catcalled.

With that, Maddie left the stage and Matthew quickly pushed through the crowd to meet up with her.

Maddie saw Matthew coming towards her and smiled nervously. She was still in her... Costume. A small Canadian flag bikini top and a pair of booty shorts that left very little, and I mean VERY LITTLE, to the imagination.

Matthew was trying to find something to say to her. They both stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do. He tried not to look at her besides her face but her body was so-

"I'm going to get dressed." Maddie interrupted his thoughts and then left.

Next, Amelia came up to him. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"I... Uh..."

"I'm not letting Maddie date a guy who goes to strip clubs. Even if she is a stripper..."

"Wait, what? Date? Nobody's dating anybody. Maddie and I are just... Friends." He kinda wished they were more.

"Haha, yeah right! You two obviously are head over heals for each other. I've noticed it ever since you met at the concert."

"What're you talking about?"

"Y'all were flirting up a storm!"

He didn't say anything and just walked away. It was time to get out of here.

"BYE, MATTHEW!" Amelia yelled after him. He just waved then walked faster out of the place.

He caught Maddie walking to her car out in the parking lot. Thank goodness she had clothes on this time.

"Hey, Maddie!"

She turned around. "Oh hey, Matthew. So umm..."

"So... Why are you here?" That was the only he could come up with and he didn't like it.

"It's... Uh... It's hard to explain."

"Tell me. Unless of course you don't want to..."

"No no, it's fine, I'll try my best. I come here when I feel lonely and forgotten. I know it's not the best thing I should be doing, but when I'm up there I get so much attention and I forget why I was feeling bad before hand."

"That makes perfect sense, Maddie. It's actually the reason why I'm here too."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I don't come here often, but the drinking helps. What I don't understand is I've never seen you here before..."

"Well, I haven't been here in a while either. You probably have seen me before it was just before we actually met."

"Yeah, possibly." But something told him he really had never seen her here before...

"Well, I need to get going." She said.

"Yes of course, I'll see you around then."

"Yeah." Maddie hopped into her car and Matthew headed over to his. He got in and sat there quietly for a few minutes.

He heard a tapping at his window and looked over to see it was Maddie, so he rolled down his window.

"My car won't start." She said nervously.

"Oh... I don't really know much about cars... I'm sorry."

"Oh..." She frowned not knowing how she would get home now.

"Um... Maddie, can I take you home?"

She smiled a little. "Can you, please?"

"Of course! Hop in."

And so she did.

(Time skip brought to you by Alfred)

Maddie and Amelia's house was very close to the club, so it didn't take long to get there at all. Matthew walked Maddie up to her front door.

"Thanks again so much, Matthew!"

"Anytime, Maddie. Just... Uh, call me up when you need a ride or something." They both laughed a little nervous.

Slowly, Maddie leaned in and gave Matthew a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight." She whispered.

"Goodnight."

Then she walked into her house and closed the door.

As he was walking back to his car, he saw Maddie's car, the one she claimed couldn't start, pull up into the driveway. Amelia stepped out of the driver's seat.

"Hey Amelia, you got her car to start?"

Amelia stared at him. "Why are you here?"

"I had to take Maddie home because her car wouldn't start."

A second later Amelia laughed. "That was a lie, her car works just fine. She said that just so you would take her home." She winked at him and then Matthew realized what she meant.

"But what about your car?" Matthew asked.

"I didn't take it. I walked over there." She then muttered to herself. "I could use a little exercise..."

Amelia still doesn't know how to be quiet, and he just knew why she was being self conscious. "Amelia you look fine. You're all Alfred talks about and he loves that extra cushion around your bones. He said it was nice because it didn't hurt him so much when... Actually I really don't want to repeat that conversation. I'm going to go now. Goodnight!"

Amelia barely heard his last sentence because she was in a daze. It was nice to know that that was what Alfred thought of her. "Goodnight." She replied.

Matthew hopped in his car and drove off. Perhaps he should Maddie how much he really feels... Tomorrow. It was almost midnight and he had to get some sleep.
