Why'd I say that?

If only I had the guts to tell her right in that moment that I felt the same I would have. But I knew that she wouldn't remember the next day.

I drove back to my place because I knew that her parents would be livid if their 18 came home drunk.

We drove home in an uncomfortable silence. We were both too scared to say anything else.

"I'm turning on music is that ok with you?" I asked, looking over at her.

"Yeah." she quietly, not returning eye contact.

I connected my phone to the aux and hit shuffle and The Night We Met by Lord Huron came on.

Bella quietly hummed the words as we drove down my street.

As we pulled into my driveway Bella grabbed my hand.

"What's wrong?" I asked her, confused, why she was holding my hand?

"I just wanted to say that I love you. Like more than a friend."

"Bella, you're still drunk. Let's get you inside." I replied with a chuckle.

She sighed and unbuckled and went to get out of the car.

"Let me help you Ry." I told her, using the nickname I hadn't used in years.

"I like when you call me Ry."

"I know. Let's get you to bed."

Bella's POV

I wake up with a pounding headache and arms around my waist.

Did I hook up with someone last night?

I look around the room and realize I'm in Matt's room.

Oh shit.

"Matt," I gently shake him trying to wake him up, "Matt wake up!"

"What?" I asked, startled.

"Did we hook up last night?"

He bursted out laughing.

"Matt, it's not funny!" I whined.

"No, why would we hook up?" He laughed, "Did you want to hook up?"

"God no!"

Liar.

"I was worried about you so I slept in here with you."

I'm so whipped for this kid.

"Aww Matt. You're so sweet."

His face grew to be a bright red.

Chris ran into the room screaming.

"He's trying to kill me!" He screamed.

"Chris shut the fuck up I have a headache." I snapped.

"Oh yeah. My bad." He said throwing a bottle of Gatorade at me.

"Chris get out." Matt told him.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because he said so. Bye!" I said pushing him out of the room with my foot.

Matt and I laughed while I drank the Gatorade Chris had given to me.

"Can we talk about last night?" I asked him.

"Like what do you want to know?"

"How bad was I?"
