**WEDNESDAY IN CAMERON**

/Normal POV/

I'm sitting here at Jeff's and my house waiting for Matt. I told him I needed to talk to him. Jeff went over to Mount Imag-I to ride his dirt bike so he could give me and Matt some space. I'm pretty nervous. Still have no idea what I'm gonna say when all of a sudden there's a knock on the door. It's Matt. "Hey, bro. Come on in." He walks in and sits on the couch.

"Hey, sis. What's going on? What'd you need to talk to me about?" I sit on the recliner in front of him. I'm twiddling my thumbs, like I always do when I'm nervous. "Ok, what's going on? You only twiddle your thumbs when you're freaked out about something. What's wrong? Is it Jeff?"

"Jeff's fine. It has nothing to do with him. I just needed to talk to you about something pretty important." I could barely get the words out. "Are you really unhappy?" Maybe those weren't the words I wanted to use.

"Where did that come from? Of course I'm happy. I'm doing what I love and with the people I love."

"Yeah, that's all great. But are you truly happy?"

"I don't get where you're going with this." He has a confused look on his face. I didn't know how to tell him straight out.

"Look, Jeff and I were talking last night and he told me something." Again, I just couldn't seem to get the words out. "He told me that, you've been wanting to get back with Amy. That you both have been wanting to give it another shot." It looked as if he didn't know what to say. It seemed like the silence lasted 30 minutes.

"I can't believe he told you that. I told him that in confidence."

"Please, don't be mad at him. He's only trying to make things better. He was trying to make me see the light. That everyone else had forgiven Amy. And the fact that if the one person who's forgiveness was most important could do it, then why couldn't I? Just like you said."

"So, what?! Because you think I'm unhappy, you're going to forgive and forget, just like that?!" He was right.

"I'm not saying that I completely forgive her."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have blown up at you like that. The truth is, yes, Amy and I do want to get back together. And that's part of the main reason she called."

"She didn't believe you."

"No. She thought I was exaggerating. That you couldn't possibly still be that mad. But of course, I was right so she said that we should both just give up."

"Look, Matt, I'm sorry. I never meant for you to be unhappy. You're practically my brother and it hurts me to hear this." Matt looked relieved to hear it all.

"I understand. That's why I never got back with Amy. I knew if I did you wouldn't approve and sneaking around isn't something I want to do to you…" I interrupted him.

"Because I'm family. And to you family comes first."

"How'd you know?" He paused for a second. "Wait, never mind" He let out a tiny chuckle.

"So, what now?"

"I don't know." I didn't know what to say either. I didn't want to make the decision for him.

"Look, I love you like a brother, Matt. And whatever decision you make…if you decide to get back with Amy or not, I support you, 100 percent."

"Thanks, sis, that means a whole lot coming from you." We get out of our chairs and give each other a big hug.
