Matt's POV:
"I'd like to apologize for this... Again", I said, continuing picking up plastic cups off the floor.
"It's okay, someone's gotta clean it up", Jessie said.
It was the morning after Spencer's party, and he never cleaned up after himself. I personally didn't like having the house a mess all the time. I was always the one who had to do everything for him. Like I was the older brother, even though he's 5 years older than me.
I hated him.
Everybody else went home late last night, except Jessie. She knew I didn't want to be left here with Spencer alone, so she stayed.
Our cleaning was interrupted by slow footsteps coming down the stairs. I rolled my eyes.
"Well, last night was fun", Spencer yawned. His hair was messy and his shirt was half unbuttoned.
"Are you gonna help us clean up this shit?" I said avoiding eye contact.
He grinned. "Nah."
"Spencer why don't you take some fucking responsibility around here?" Jessie said, throwing down her trash bag.
"Woah, take it easy Jessie. I didn't know you spent the night. Did Matty get some?" He smirked, and I walked over and punched him.
"If your not gonna help us than get the fuck out."
Right then, the doorbell rang. I walked over to the door and opened it.
"Hi uh.. Am I interrupting?" Ashton said looking at Spencer and Jessie.
"Oh, uh no. Come in"
I closed the door behind him.
"I think I uh, left my phone here last night. Have you seen it?"
I looked around.
"No.. But you can look if you want", I said walking into the kitchen. Ashton followed.
"Aha", I said, picking up an iPhone off the floor. "Is this it?"
"Yeah, thanks man", He said taking the phone. "But uh, can I talk to you about something?"
"Uh, okay", I said confused.
We sat down at the table, and Ashton spoke.
"It's Vanessa, it just... With her most recent attempt and all, I'm just worrie-"
"Most recent attempt... What most recent attempt?" I questioned.
"You don't know..? Oh shit, um yeah she's gonna kill me for saying this but last week she jumped off the docks... I saved her."
I put my head in my hands and took a deep breath.
"Why wouldn't she tell us? She tells us everything... Is she okay now?"
Ashton grabbed a banana from the fruit bowl and started eating it.
"I don't know."
-
We talked for awhile, and I told him a lot about Vanessa's life and the mental hospital, and decided to leave out the fact that she killed somebody... I didn't want to scare him off, and it wouldn't be fair to Vanessa. Our conversation was going okay until we were rudely interrupted by Spencer.
"Baby bro, are you gonna help Jess clean up or what?"
"Why can't you Spencer", I said without making eye contact.
"She hates me, and I don't like cleaning. Come on Matt, catch up", he said, looking in the fridge.
"In a minute", I said, turning back to Ashton.
"Why in a minute, why not right now", Spencer said, grabbing a water from the fridge and drinking it.
"Because I'm trying to have a conversation with somebody, stop being so fucking annoying and leave me alone."
"Calm down, jeez", he mumbled as he walked out of the kitchen.
I turned to Ashton, who looked confused.
"I'm sorry about him. Sometimes I wonder how we're even related."
"Yeah, I can tell", he said. "You guys don't get along very well?"
"Nope"
