You sat on the kitchen counter, humming to yourself as you looked around the house. Rivers was hunched over his laptop, eyes flicking around the screen while Pat and Brian sat on the couch, boredly switching channels on the TV. You sighed, taking a sip of your coffee before setting it down next to you and bringing your knees to your chin.

Since Matt had left the house seemed a lot emptier. And quieter. Without all the jokey arguing between Matt and Brian, things had really quieted down.

You pushed yourself off the counter and made your way over to Rivers, leaning over and looking at his computer.

"Any luck?" You asked, standing up straight again 

Rivers shook his head slowly, not taking his eyes off the screen.

"Uh, no. Well not really. Maybe. Not sure." He responded.

"Oohhkay then. Good luck I guess" You hummed, turning around and sitting down at the end of the couch.

Brian stood up, making his way over to Rivers and leaning down over his screen.

"Chill out there, Rivs. You've been there quite a bit now." Brian chuckled, playfully hitting Rivers' back; making him jump.

"Leave me alone. I've almost got one. Just give me a minute." Rivers muttered, swishing his hand at Brian.

"Ok ok, good luck then." Brian muttered, going back over to the couch and plopping himself down.

Pat threw down the remote, sighing loudly.

"What, nothing good?" Brian snorted, laughing to himself

Pat glared at him.

"You left it on a cooking show. That's good enough" you hummed, leaning over to see the television.

"Y/n. Move over here." Brian said, seeing you lean to see the tv.

"Nah I'm good." You said quietly, eyes focused on the tv.

You turned your head to Rivers as you heard him shut his computer. 

"I feel like we don't see you a lot anymore. How have you been, Y/n?" Rivers asked, sitting down next to you on the couch

"What do you mean, you see me everyday" you muttered lightly, turning to him.

"I mean we don't talk a lot. You've been quiet since Matt left." 

You sighed quietly, leaning back.

"I'm okay. It's just weird" you murmured, turning back to the tv.

"I mean I understand you being upset about it, you two were pretty close." Pat added, looking at you slightly concerned.

You nodded and sunk into the couch. 

"I don't know. I miss him. The house feels to empty." You muttered, glancing at his old room

Rivers nodded

"It'll be alright. I think I got us someone now, and he said he may move in." Rivers said, smiling lightly. You nodded

"We'll leave you alone about it, Y/n. But you know. If you need to talk about it or something, we're all here" Brian added

"Thanks" was all you could muster out as you stayed sunk into the couch, aimlessly watching the television as you zoned out.
