*Juliet's pov*
"Matt!" I gasped as I wrapped my arms around him, dropping the toy infant I was holding.
"Shit." I mumbled, letting go of Matt and comforting the baby.
"Why do you have a toy baby?" He asked, as he let himself in.
"It's for our family life class. The important question is what are you doing here?" I asked. Hayes and I joined him on the couch.
"I need your help." Matt sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I wanted you guys to go to New York with me. I was thinking of buying my old apartment again, and then when I get settled you guys can leave."
"Why are you even going to New York?" Hayes asked.
"Because of Lesley." Matt answered, "if she can't be in California, I'll be in New York. My schedule is more flexible than hers, anyways."
"And why should we come with you?" I asked.
"I need you guys there." Matt said.
"You know we can't just pack up our bags and leave. We have school on Monday." Hayes said.
"I can't believe you're using school as an excuse to not go somewhere else. You are Hayes Grier, right?" Matt said sarcastically. Hayes punched him playfully.
"Seriously man. How long do you think you need to settle in for? A day or two? A week? A month?"
"I don't know." Matt said, "but all I know is that I have to be there for Lesley."
"I'm not going to New York just because you need to save your relationship." Hayes said as he got up and went to the kitchen.
Matt looked at me pleadingly, pouting his lower lip. I rolled my eyes and whispered, "let me see what I can do."
I got up from the couch and walked over to Hayes. He was sitting on the counter, eating popcorn.
"If you're trying to talk to me about going to New York for Lesley, then I'm not going to do it." He said. I sat next to him.
"I'm not saying that." I said while I wrapped my arms around his neck, "but I'm going if you are or not."
"What?" Hayes said, looking at me.
"Hayes, you don't understand. Lesley's my friend, and Matt's my friend. I help my friends when they need me." I said.
"So? Matt's my friend, and Lesley's kind of my friend. And you're my girlfriend. I don't want you to go. Matt's perfectly capable of doing this on his own." Hayes huffed, obviously annoyed.
"And what if I go? You can't decide where I can go or not." I said, my voice was calm.
"You're right, I can't decide if you can go or not," he said, laying his head on my shoulder. "But I do care if you go."
"Please come with me?" I said. Hayes grabbed my hand and kissed it with his soft lips.
"I'm not doing this for Lesley, or Matt." Hayes said, lifting his head off my shoulder and kissed my cheek, "I'm doing it for you."
*Matt's pov*
While Juliet and Hayes talked in the kitchen, my hands were shaking with anxiety.
What if Lesley doesn't want me back? What if I was going to do this for nothing?
My phone rang, and I stared at the small screen. The caller I.D said it was Lesley.
I swiped to answer it, my hands still shaking from what answer Hayes and Juliet had.
"h-︎hello?" I said shakily, so I coughed. "Hello?"
"Matt?" Lesley said.
"Yeah, it's me."
"Look, I'm sorry about everything. I know I left without saying goodbye and I know that was a terrible thing to do. You deserve better than that. You deserve better than me-"
"Stop it Les." I sighed, "don't think that about yourself. You were everything to me."
"Matt, I'm sorry." She cried, which made my heart hurt. "I miss you."
My heart felt like it shattered. She doesn't know how long I've waited to hear those words.
"I miss you too." I said, as I felt something drop on my jeans.
I wiped my hand on my face, and they were damp with tears.
"Matt, I wish I can see you. But I can't be with you." She said.
It's like she ripped my heart right out of my chest.
"W-what? Why?"
"Because, Matt. I'm with another guy. It's complicated." She sighed, and I shook my head. I stopped when I realized she couldn't see me.
"Lesley. Please...tell me you don't love him as much as you loved me." I sobbed.
"I-I-I....I love you." She said, after what seemed to be a year later.
"I love you too." I smiled, the tears stopped falling.
"Lesley? Who are you talking to?" I heard a deep voice coming from the other line.
"I-uh...I'm-"
"Who's this?" The same voice asked.
"I'm Matt. Lesley's...uh, friend."
"What was this I heard about her saying I love you to you?" He asked.
"I...uh...well I love her so..."
"LESLEY, DON'T PULL THIS SHIT WITH ME." I heard the guy yell, followed by a slap, and a shriek of pain.
"LESLEY!" I yelled through the phone.
"Let's see if you still love her after she's dead." The deep voiced guy said, and hung up.
Hayes and Juliet came running in to the living room.
"Guys, we're going to New York." I announced, "Now."
