Just for a Moment

57 | Helpless

Forgot to put a little picture in the header last week. I added something there now if you want to see it; nothing special.

On another note, this is amazing:

They're faces in the thumbnail😂

Frankie really said move bitch in the beginning😂

I love that Matt did Gina's part and Larry did Ashlyn.

1:45 | Yes, Frankie!!

You can tell Frankie thoroughly enjoyed himself.

What genius decided to have four people sing a song about three? I love whoever they are.

Now we need A Billion Sorrys. I don't care that it's from season one.
(My request last season was that the four boys [since Joe wasn't considered a regular yet] should do an acoustic version of A Billion Sorrys since the girls did Wondering as well as A Billion Sorrys for the buspool karaoke. Now, I want those two things [now with Joe obviously] and a lip-sync video for A Billion Sorrys.)

After some excruciatingly long minutes, Larry comes back running down the hall. "I got the key," he pants.

"What took so long?"

"Tim couldn't find his set of key copies," he explains.

"Whatever, let's just get in there." They go out into the hallway to Matt's front door. After a few tries, the key works.

"Matt?!" they both yell. No answer.

They split up and sprint around the small apartment. There weren't that many rooms, so the search shouldn't be taking as long as it is.

"Oh my god!!" Sofia screeches. In seconds, Larry's at her side.

Hot tears were streaming down Matt's beet-red face. His knuckles were paperwhite as they dug into his thigh. His chest was rising and falling rapidly. It didn't seem like he even noticed that the bathroom door had flown open.

"Matt?!" they both scream, gently shaking his shoulders. His head doesn't move an inch; he's just staring forward at the shower curtain.

"Matt? Matt, look at us!" Larry says in a panic.

He bites his tongue and slowly shifts his eyes between his two friends. "Can... Can you hear us?" Sofia stutters, her own tears forming in her eyes.

*Earlier*
Matt sat on his couch, his brain feeling absolutely fried. EJ didn't have any dancing roles in episode five, but he could still practice his lines for it. His head felt like it just might explode if he tried to add anything else to it.

He goes to the bathroom to splash water on his face and relax for a moment. It's refreshing, the cold water doing much more than he thought. He continues to do it, feeling slightly calm.

Once considered done, he dries his face and takes a good long look in the mirror. His eyes had dark circles under them, and he just looked flat-out drained. Matt furiously rubs his hands over his face. What is up with you? Get a grip.

He continues to look in the mirror, glancing at the shower curtain. Maybe that would help. He starts the shower, listening to the running water and thinking over all that's happened. It's crazy to think that they've almost hit the halfway mark of the season with all that's happened already.
