Chapter 14:
Matty and Rebecca stood in the living room where Matty could see that Jenna and Collin were back to just talking. He was distracted and Rebecca noticed. She kept starting new topics trying to get Matty's attention. He noticed Collin was walking over to the drink table and decided to intercept him while Jenna was distracted talking to Tamara.
"I'll be straight back babe." Rebecca shrugged her shoulders and quickly kissed Matty on the cheek.
"I'm just going to the ladies room then okay!"
Matty walked past nudging Collin casually in the crowded room. Collin put his hand onto Matty's chest and stopped him in his tracks.
"Watch it mate." Matty had accomplished what he set out to do, provoke Collin.
"Maybe you should take it easy on the drinks Collin, you're looking a bit sloppy." Matty said as he patted down Collins shirt collar.
"McKibben, look at you. Just as cocky as usual."
"That's sweet coming from you, did your dad buy you that sense of humor or did you steal that too?" Collin smirked at Matty's insult.
"Well Matty, it's been great talking to you as usual, maybe we can continue this after I'm done."
"Done, what?" Matty said with a snarl.
"Done with the piece of ass by the stairs." Collin laughed and patted Matty on the chest trying to intimidate him. Matty looked over and saw Jenna talking with Tamara and he got enraged and shoved Collin.
"Don't touch her." Matty said firmly, while a few people in the crowd turned to face them.
"Or what?" Collin did an arrogant laugh, as he pushed Matty harshly in the chest, more people in the crowd were moving back and facing them.
"This." Matty swung a punch and Collin swung to the side from the impact and looked up with blood running out his nose. Everyone backed up and Jenna noticed the crowd of people and slowly walked over trying to get trough the crowd. Collin punched Matty in the mouth and blood ran out the corner of his lips. Collin shoved Matty into the crowd and Matty charged back at him and punched him square in the face, Collin tackled Matty as Jenna got to the front of the crowd.
"MATTY!" She yelled and ran into the circle the crowd had made. "STOP!"
Matty and Collin wrestled each other standing up, Matty heard Jenna's voice and shoved Collin off him as Jenna jumped between the two boys and put her hand on Matty's chest.
"Stop! Matty," He was panting and still staring at Collin with rage in his eyes while Collin wiped the blood from his nose. "Are you okay?" Jenna reached up and grabbed Matty's head making him look at her. Jenna and Matty stared in each other's eyes; between Matty's rage over Collin using Jenna like that and Jenna's jealousy of Rebecca they both were kind of happy to be protecting each other in their own ways. Jenna rubbed the back of Matty's neck and whispered 'oh god' as she gently rubbed the blood of his lip with her thumb. Everything seemed to stop as Matty looked down at Jenna tending to him and she stared up into his eyes with one hand still on his chest and feeling his heart racing. They were lost in each others eyes for what was a second to everyone else but felt like forever for both of them until Rebecca came running up.
"Matty! Babe!" Her voice was high-pitched; she waddled over in her high heels. Jenna broke their gaze and took a step back. Rebecca swung her arms around Matty and the crowd had cleared away and Collin was nowhere to be seen. Jenna got lost in the crowd but Matty followed her with his eyes while Rebecca embraced him.
