I sat up as my room was bathed in a soft light.

"Hey Lexi" Wtf?

"Matty? Why are you in here? Val's in your room shouldn't you be in there with her?" I moved to lean against the wall as he sat down on my bed.

"Yeah I know, but I when tried waking her up to ply guitar hero she told me I had company to entertain and that she was too tired to play."

"So now you came to annoy me into playing with you."

"Yeah, can't sleep, too much on my mind."

"Ugg, whatever, I'll play but we're doing it my way. 12 shots or each of us and round winner takes another cause they obviously aren't drunk enough.

"You sure you can handle the first 12?"

"Matty, Matty, Matty, when will you learn. Just because I'm 7 years younger than you doesn't make me a lightweight. I'm sure that by now it's impossible for anyone in our family to be a lightweight."

"Whatever squirt, I'm going to kick your ass." I watched him stand up, leave my room and then come back a few minutes later when he noticed I hadn't followed him.

"You coming?"

"Carry me. Please?"

"You are so lucky I love you" He sat down so I could climb on his back.

"I know. Now mush boy, MUSH!

An hour later both Matt and I are lying on the front lawn beyond drenched because he got the bright idea to throw me in the pool. He forgot to let go and we both went in.
'Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time!'

Matt's POV

"Matt, dude what the fuck you were supposed to be here two hours ago. Where are you?"

"Shit, sorry Syn forgot about it."

"Just get your ass over here."

"Yeah fuck you too I'll see you in a bit."

Lexi's POV

I rolled over to look at Matt as he hung up the phone "Who was that?"

"Just a guy I work with, You still good enough to party or are to drunk?"

"Awe Matty, that's sweet but I'm good to go" I said mocking the ancient Taco Bell commercial "just let me change and I'll meet you at the vehicle in 20 minutes." I stood and ran up to my room.

'Okay so, I lied I'm trashed and I know it, but this is my chance to meet someone in my brothers' band. I haven't exactly been around for the last six years.
