Why No Answer? *ᴬˡᵉˣ ᵀᵘʳⁿᵉʳ*

Part 7

After Jamie finding out, you're definitely more open to the idea of telling Matt everything that's going on. Thankfully Jamie has been being quite respectful of the whole thing and actually keeping your secret.

He didn't make things awkward for the two of you either, if anything he helped you both out a lot. Sometimes when you were out with them, Jamie would keep the others entertained so you could escape with Alex for a little bit on a 'fag break' which would consist of stolen kisses.

Other times when you were all out, Jamie would lowkey 'guilt trip' Alex into going back with you early so no one asked questions which you loved him for even more.

During this month past month that Jamie has known for, you've been trying to come up with a way to tell Matt. Because you aren't stupid, you know this can't go on for much longer.

Each time you try to tell him though, something happens which means that you don't actually get it out. Once you froze, unable to tell him because you just genuinely didn't know how to.

It wasn't exactly something that you could drop on him and expect him to be fine with. Your nerves probably didn't help but other times when you worked up the courage to do it, other things would go wrong.

Matt was in a foul mood one of the times, so that was a no go. Miles and Nick came in and interrupted another time before you got the words out and it was like a never ending series of unfortunate events that stopped you.

Alex had politely offered to do it after a few failed attempts but you said that you'd be more comfortable doing it. Partly because you know that you should be the one to tell your brother and partly because you know Matt won't hit you.

But there had been multiple failed attempts since then so you think that you may actually make it to the end of the summer festivals at this rate.

It's nearing the end of August now and you're all staying in a hotel again tonight as you'd got to the city they're performing in the day before the show. You're pleased about it though because it means another night in with Alex.

 After you all had your dinner downstairs, you'd gave your boyfriend the spare key card for your room so he could sneak in whenever he liked.

Alex tells you that he's looking forward to using it and that he's excited to spend another night with you. It warms your heart hearing that and when Alex calls you at 9:30pm saying he's just running to the shop to grab the both of you some snacks, he tells you he'll use your key card in 20 minutes time when get gets back.

And that is why you're a little surprised when there's knocking on the door about 10 minutes later. Initially, all that runs thought your mind is 'that was fast' but your mood quickly turns because you don't want to get up to answer the door.

"Come in!" You shout across the room, hoping he'll hear you.

It seems that he does but his muffled response is, "It's locked." when the handle doesn't budge.

You roll your eyes and mumble, "That's why I gave you a key." under your breath as you get up off your bed and head to the door.

When you open the door, you're about to scorn him, but you don't find your boyfriend. You find your brother.

"Hey." Matt smiles, stepping into your room after the door opens.

You're shocked by his presence but try to act as calm as possible as you say, "Hey, you alright?"

Thank fuck you're still dressed. And thank fuck Alex isn't already here because you definitely didn't want Matt to find out like that.

But then you realise Alex'll be here in 10 minutes or so. And that makes you want to get Matt out as quickly as possible.
