i woke up with matt still laying on me snoring lightly. i checked my phone to see what time it was, and it read 9:35am. i set it down and slowly started to get out of bed. "noo.." i heard matt mumble in his sleepy morning voice. he pulled me back down by my waist and snuggled his head into the crook of my neck. "5 more minutes.. please?" he says, his hot breath hitting my neck. "okay.." i managed to spit out, butterflies filling my stomach. i wrapped my arms around him and began to play with his hair again. i felt a smile form on his face, which triggered me to smile too. after 5 minutes i shook him awake. "matt.. it's been 5 minutes. you can still sleep but i gotta get up" i said, wiggling out of his grip. he groaned, but laid back down and cuddled up to his blanket. i giggled and kissed his forehead, and walked out of his room. i walked down into the empty kitchen, and made myself a bowl of cereal. i sat at the island and ate it, and a few minutes later i felt someone ruffle my hair from behind me, and i turned around to see a sleepy matt smiling at me. "morning sleepyhead" i said, smiling and turning back around. "morning anna" he said, sitting next to me and pulling out his phone. "have you talked to her? you know, emily?" i asked awkwardly. "yea, she texted me and apologized" he said, not looking up from his phone. "well that's good." i said, hiding that i was a little upset about it. "thank you for last night anna, you didn't have to" he said, smiling at me. "of course, you would have done the same for me." i said, smiling back at him and getting up to put my bowl in the sink. i walked towards the stairs. "where are you going?" he asked, turning around to look at me. "to take a shower" i said, walking up the stairs. ever since last night i made the decision to keep my clothes in chris' room to avoid any problems with emily. i walked into chris room quietly because he was sleeping, and grabbed my clothes. i went to the bathroom and got in the shower. i immediately felt at ease. showers are so peaceful, it reminds me of the rain. every stressful thought i had before i had gotten in the shower was now gone, and i was calm. after around 20 minutes, i got out of the shower and got dressed. i blow dried my hair and did my daily skincare, and then walked into matt's room. i usually chill in there when nick or chris are asleep. no one was in his room so i sat on his bed and scrolled mindlessly on tiktok. i was so distracted, that i didn't notice matt walk in the room. i looked up after a few seconds, and saw emily standing behind him giving me a dirty look. "o-oh, sorry. i was in here because i didn't wanna bother nick or chris, i'll go." i said, quickly getting up and walking past them.
matt pov:
"why was she in your room?" emily said, walking to sit on my bed. "nick and chris are asleep, she had no where else to go." i said, sitting next to her. "she could've went in the living room?" she said, putting her phone in her pocket. "emily can we please not do this right now" i said, sighing and grabbing my tv remote. she rolled her eyes and cuddled up next to me with her head on my chest. sure she was my girlfriend, but it didn't feel right. it didn't feel like me and anna's cuddles. it felt wrong, and uncomfortable. i pushed these thoughts away. emily is my girlfriend. i like emily. not anna.
right?
annabelle pov:
i walked down the stairs and into the living room. i hope i didn't cause problems with them again. i sat down on the couch and grabbed the tv remote, putting on some random show and getting on my phone. i scrolled through instagram, and came across emily's post.

i walked to nicks room to tell him about the party. he was sitting on his bed on his phone, and once he saw me he smiled and put it down. "hey belle, what's up?" he asked. "morning nicky, there's a party at alahnas tonight and i was wondering if you wanted to go shopping with me to buy a dress." i asked, smiling at him. "oh. my. god!! of course i do girl!" he said, squealing and getting up. "okay, do you mind asking matt for a ride to the store? he's with emily and i don't wanna go in there" i asked. "of course, give me a sec" he said, walking out of his room and up the stairs. i walked into chris' room and told him about the party, and he agreed to going shopping with us too. since my clothes were in his room i got ready in there and nick came in to tell us that matt agreed to taking us to the store. of course that meant that emily was going too, but i tried my best to ignore it. once we were all ready, we got in the van. i sat in between chris and nick in the back, and emily and matt sat in the front. we drove there to emily's bad music on the aux, and her loud annoying singing. even matt looked fed up. me and nick kept glancing at eachother and had to hold back our laughter. luckily, she didn't notice.
