Thank you very much Leelan Jacobs for reviewing.

Rumour Has It by Adele

I knew I was in trouble, I didn't know if I should run the other way or turn and face the music. I guess I might as well turn and face the music, because if I was to run once I was found I'd be in a world of trouble. No only that but the only place I had to run was to I had to run was to Shan's or back to Matt's. I really didn't think that Matt's was the best place to go to.

When I turned around I noticed it was only Beth... maybe I could get out of this a little better since it wasn't Jeff. Jeff seemed to be able to see threw me.

"I went for a walk" I told her.

"At 5:30 in the morning?" Uh...oh... "not only that but you seemed to leave with Matt this'
morning."

"Well.." I said walking toward her.

"Was it your first time?" she asked.

"WHAT!" I hollered at her.

"So it was? Was he at least gentle with you?"

What was I going to say to that? The truth the little voice in my head told me.

"Yea"

"Good...are you sure.." she started. She seemed like she was trying hard to think about what she was going to say before she said it. I knew what was coming I just didn't know how to respond to it.

"I don't know Beth. I have a feeling I am just going to get hurt" I truthfully told her. She just gave me a sad smile.

"You know it seems the first time I met Matt, Jeff was trying to hook me up with him and now he seems so agains't it."

"I think he's thinking along the same lines as you. Matt's been hurt and I don't think he want's you to to be his rebound girl. He think's of you like a little sister now." She told me.

I just nodded at her before going back up stairs to get some more sleep before Jeff came to wake me up. I couldn't believe what had really happened between Matt and I. Was I just something to pass the time for him, or was it going to be something more between us. Beth had told me the other day that he seemed to like me, but he sure as hell seemed to have a funny way of showing it. First he would act like a prick and then be nice, then right back to being a prick toward me. So what if there was an age gape between us, there was age gape's between a lot of people.

It seemed I had fallen a sleep thinking about Matt. I looked over to see what time it was, it was 1:30 in the afternoon! Why had Jeff not came and woke me up. The party started at 5 and there was still stuff to do along with me getting ready. When I got up to walk downstairs I saw a note posted to me door.

Over at Matt's, bring a change of clothes for tonight we can get ready at Matt's

Beth

Well I guess I knew why now now I thought going to my closet to get the clothes Beth and I had already picked out; along with my my travling kit to take a shower and put make-up on.

When I finally got my work clothes on and got over to Matt's it had been a hour since I was trying my hardest to find a reason not to go over. I really didn't know how I was going to face Matt. Walking in the door it seemed that everything was already set up and ready for the night. When I walked into the living room I only seen Shan and Jeff.

"Beth and the girls are upstairs getting ready, told me to tell you to come up when you get here." Jeff told me.

"Ok.. where's Matt?" I asked.

"Went to town with a old friend to get some stuff." Shan told me giving a goofy grin.

"Oh.. Ok" I said walking up the stairs.

It didn't seem to take long to find the girls with the giggleing going on. When I walked in it seemed Beth and Julie and a girl I never seen before was in full swing. They all seemed to notice me all at once.

"Finally your here.. get in the shower and get dressed so that we can get you ready." Beth told me. "Also your wearing this corset, we got to make Matt forget all about that bitch."

"Bitch?" I asked.

"Yes Lita, she thinks she can just come back into Matt's life after what she done. I don't fucking think so, plus he already found another girl. We are also going to make sure that Matt knows that also."

I knew who Lita was and what she had done to Matt, but I also knew that I was fucked! I mean if Matt went to town with her then he was fine with her being back in his life.

By the time we all got ready I could hear the music playing and a lot of people downstairs. Jeff and Shan had already been up a few times to tell us to hurry up, but it seemed the girls only took longer each time they done this. I think they finally got the hint.

When was all walked down with me in the rear the party was in full swing, seemed that some people were already on their way to being drunk. Jeff seeing us walked up.

"Here only for tonight, don't tell your parent's. Do't look at me like that I know a party full of people drinking your going to do it too." he told me handing me a Miller Light.

I just took it while smiling at him. He grabbed Beth and my arm walking us to the kitchen. When I walked in I seen Matt with Lita standing as close as she could be with out the actually humping one another. It seemed Matt knew as soon as I walked in, because he locked eyes with me giving me a small smile. I don't know how long we stood there looking at one another before Beth grabbed my arm. I turned to look at her.

"We are going to do shots" she told me. " your doing them with us."

"What is it?" I asked.

"Blackhause and Red Bull" she told me. "Don't worry it taste like a blueberry muffin. Strong as vodka though." she said smiling at me.

I knew my eyes had gotten wide, vodka was some powerful stuff when doing it in shots. I seen it knock a few people off their feet.

I knocked back the shot and started talking to people around me while doing more of the Blackhause and Red Bull shots. The whole time I made sure I could lock eyes with Matt the whole time. He would smile at me everytime, it seemed his smiles were getting bigger. About the fifth shot I was better damn drunk when I seen Lita walk up and kiss Matt. It seemed that I was seening red at the edges of my sight. I walked up to her kncoking her away from Matt.
