Alyssa grabbed her purse and kissed Jason goodbye.
"I'll see you in fifteen minutes" She said.
He laughed, "I'll try to survive till then"
Alyssa rolled her eyes but smiled at him.
Alyssa went over to their fireplace and threw some flew powder into the fire. She stepped in and said, "Jamie's house!"
Alyssa stepped out of the living room fire in Jamie's mansion. She heard voices coming from the kitchen, so she walked to the kitchen.
"Knock, knock" Alyssa said, making her presence know.
"Hey Alyssa!" Jamie yelled from the kitchen.
Alyssa finally made it to the kitchen, and saw Rebecca, Nick, and Luke sitting at the table.
"Hey everyone" Alyssa said, sitting down next to Rebecca.
"Hi Aly." Rebecca said.
"All right, Summer should be here in a few minutes and Matt right after her" Jamie said.
"Everyone knows the plan, right?" asked Luke, bouncing Hayley on his knee.
"Yep" replied Rebecca, Nick and Alyssa nodded.
"Hey Jamie! You here?" Summer's voice came from a room next door.
Everyone got up and went to their positions silently.
Jamie went to greet Summer.
"Hey Summer! I'm so glad you said you could spend the night!" Jamie said excitedly.
"A girl's never too old for a sleep-over, right?"
"Right!" Jamie agreed.
"Come on, I'll show you to the room you'll be staying in." Jamie said.
"Okay"
"This way" Jamie said, pointing to the left.
Summer went in front of Jamie, so this gave Jamie the opportunity to take Summer's wand that was sticking out of her back pocket. Jamie slipped it out and put it in her jacket pocket.
Jamie led Summer into the room and sat on the bed. Summer sat down next to her. The room was a light blue color, and had a white door on each side of the room. Jamie jumped up suddenly.
"Oh! I almost forgot! I have a surprised for you, stay right here!" She said, walking to the door.
"Okay, I won't go anywhere." Summer said, laughing.
Summer sat looking at the pictures on the wall. She didn't notice that Jamie had closed the door behind her.
Summer heard men's voice's coming from down the hall on the right. Jamie had gone out of the left door. Summer froze when she recognized the voice. She'd know that voice anywhere. Matt backed into the room, talking to Jason and walking backwards into the room. He turned around to drop his bag, and say Summer. He stared at her. He turned back to the door, but it was closed. He reached out and turned the handle. It didn't move.
Summer knew what was going on at once. She tried to disapperate out of the room, but nothing happened.
Summer let out a frustrated sigh. She stood up and searched her pockets for her wand, but couldn't find it.
Summer walked over to the door and banged on it.
"Dammit, Jamie! Let me out now!" She yelled through the door.
Jamie's voice came from the other side, "You can't come out come out until you two talk and figure out your problems"
"No faking either!" Rebecca's voice said.
"Yeah, we'll know if it's real or not!" Alyssa added.
Summer screamed in frustration.
She went to the bed and sat back down.
"I can't believe they'd do this to me!" She pouted.
"I can" Matt said, dropping his bag to the floor and sitting in the armchair next to him.
"What'd you mean?" She asked.
"In fifth year, when we first started dating, they threatened me" Matt said.
Summer frowned, "Threatened how?"
"They said if I broke your heart, they'd hurt me."
"Well that was obviously an empty threat" Summer said.
"Don't act like you're the only victim in this relationship! I've been hurt too you know!" Matt said.
Summer just looked away.
"Oh, yeah, this is a good one. Also in fifth year. That time you thought I'd been snogging that Jessica girl. They kidnapped me, made me take Verataserum and then asked me awkward questions."
Summer bite her lip to keep back her smile but said nothing.
Matt and Summer just sat there, staring at opposite walls. It's been thirty minutes and neither one has said anything.
Matt sighed, "So, should we get this over with?"
Summer finally looked at him, "I have nothing to say to you"
"Fine, I'll go first." Matt said.
Summer rolled her eyes, "Yeah, and you can go last too, 'cause I'm not telling you anything"
"Why do you have to be so stubborn?" Matt asked.
"I don't know. Why do you have to be such an annoying ass?"
Matt sighed again and ran his fingers through his hair, but otherwise ignored her.
"Look…I've been thinking a lot since our last….agreement" Matt said.
"Well that's a first" Summer said sarcastically.
Matt just ignored her and continued.
"I think I know what our problem is. We're both stubborn and we're both afraid of commitment."
"The only thing I'm afraid of is you not shutting up." Summer said.
"Stop avoiding the subject Summer! This is exactly what I'm talking about!" Matt said.
"That's not what our problem is, and how would you know what my reason is?!" Summer asked.
"Because Summer, I know you." Matt said, "And you're afraid of rejection"
Tears stung Summer's eyes.
"You're afraid I'll stop loving you. Just like your parents." Matt said.
"Shut up" Summer said through gritted teeth.
