Looking back thinking about the time I had gone off on Matt was making me smile with humor; Jeff was not a happy camper with either of us. I remember him going off on both of us Matt for being a prick and me for not taking the high road. I hadn't talk to Matt in 3 months, I had ended up watching Lucas for him but he sent Beth to ask for him. I was never around him really I always dropped Lucas off with Jeff and Beth. Here I was now sitting in front of Matt's house, Jeff had been hurt during Wrestle Mania and was in the hospital after a non-serious surgery to help with a broken bone and torn muscle. In other words they were not home and Matt was.
To make matters worse my parents needed to go out of town and they didn't trust Sarah and myself to stay home alone, I was supposed to stay with Jeff and Beth for the two weeks, but since that couldn't for the first week Jeff had told her parents it would be alright for me to stay with Matt. Now hearing Matt over the phone when he found out was funny as hell, but I was still dreading it. Now here I was sitting in front of his house not really wanting to go in, I could see Shannon's hummer sitting outside. At least I would have one person that wouldn't want to take my head off, because I had gotten in the way of Matt's romantic weekend with some diva. Shannon was like the older big bother to Sarah and I because we tended to hang around Jeff and Beth some, so we had gotten to know the tattooed man known as Shannon.
I was wondering why in the world I couldn't have stayed with Shannon and Julie, I had before and it didn't seem to be a problem. I was not liking it even more when I seen Shannon and his big goofy smile come out the front door, I knew I had to get out and go in then. Sarah had gotten lucky in being able to stay with a friend of her. My parents didn't trust any of my friends so it was always Jeff and Beth, or Shannon and Julie I stayed with.
"It about time that you showed up, Matt was getting ready to leave and make you fend for yourself" Shannon told me.
"Yea right and take on the angry Jeff and Beth I don't think so" I told him. He just laughed at me because he knew I was right. Matt may hate me but he loved his brother and would do what it seemed
"Either way come on let's get you settled in and I need to make sure you two are not going to kill on another while everyone is away" Shannon told me.
"I wouldn't harm her Shannon, Jeff would have my head" I heard Matt say behind Shannon.
"To bad Matt you already done that" I told him. I could have sworn that I seen a flash of hurt pass across Matt face before he schooled it to be neutral.
"Look I know you don't like me but could be at least be try to be nice till the end of the week when Jeff and Beth get home. Then they can take over your she demon ways" Matt asked me.
"Such a nice way to make someone feel better about staying in the same house with a man whore" I really didn't know if he was or not it just seemed the right thing to say to get a rise out of Matt at the time.
"You should talk, with the guy you are running around town with everyone knows you are nothing but a whore now" Matt told me.
"What the hell is supposed to mean, unlike you I don't go around sleeping with anyone has a pussy and that will drop tracks" I told him. I could see that I was starting to piss Matt off.
"Tell me sweetheart have you spread them legs for Nathan yet? From what I can understand is his not only fucking you but a few other girls to. Hell the other night at the bar in town when a few of us stopped off he was all over some other girl; she sure as hell didn't have you dark hair. Hell sweetheart I think it was more blond then anything" Matt told me.
I knew that there was a good chance that Matt was right, I had been hearing that Nathan was doing me wrong. I had fallen for the guy and hard I didn't want to believe that he would cheat on me. I really didn't want Matt to see me cry, but I really didn't know what room I was staying unlike at Jeff's. When I looked up at Matt I seen the look of regret pass in his features, he knew he had gone to far.
"Come on little bit I'll take you to the room you're staying in" Shannon told me.
"Christy.." I heard Matt say.
"Save it Matt you done enough tonight," Shannon answered for me.
It wasn't that late in the night and the only thing I wanted to do was take a shower and call Nathan but first I had to get Shannon to leave. Talk about going into big brother mode, not even my own brother was this bad. Shannon was trying to get me to talk and I really didn't want to talk at the moment, all I really wanted was to talk to Nathan. Finally Shannon left for me to do my own thing.
I picked up my cell phone before getting in the shower to call Nathan, we both knew I couldn't see him while I was staying with Matt. When the person on the other line picked up it was not someone that I wanted to.
"Hello" giggled a female voice.
"Who is this?" I asked her.
"Nathan's girlfriend, who is this?" I just hung up and burst out in tears.
I couldn't stop the flow of tears when I heard someone knock on the door and come in. I looked up to see Matt looking at me sadness.
"You were right," I told him.
He didn't say anything as he came into the room and held me while I cried. I soon cried myself to sleep all the while Matt holding me. When I woke up the next morining I could feel something heavy over my waist. When I turned over to see who it was I was looking into the peaceful face of Matt. I felt something odd stir in my stomach and I didn't really know if I liked the feeling. I tried hard to move out from under Matt arm without waking him. The only thing I secced in doing was making his arm tighten it's self around me even more. Final I just gave up with a huff. I heard a low chuckle letting me know that Matt was awake. Without even moving or opening his eyes he started to talk to me.
"We need to talk Christy," he told.
