matt's pov —

i walk into the room now seeing her sitting up clearly more awake

"hi" i say and she looks at me

"hey?" she responds

"can you tell me what happened please?" she asks

"well um, you slipped and hit your head on the floor earlier tonight and you wouldn't wake up so we brought you here, you're okay now though dont worry" i say now sitting on the seat next to her

"oh yeah, im sorry" she says

"why. for what?: i ask

""for ruining the night" she says with a sadness in her tone

"no kat you didnt ruin anything were just glad you're okay" i say wanting to take her hand but knowing i cant

"why are you being so nice" she asks

oh no. does she know?

"well you see im not completely heartless i thought you were in serious danger im just happy to see you're okay" i respond trying to not say anything wrong

"says the guy who pushed and down the stairs and i sprained my ankle, you didnt give a shit then" she says now smiling

"well things change, i care about you"

fuck. i shouldn't of said that

"so your done hating me now" she asks

"we'll see" i respond smiling

"shut up" she replies slightly smacking my arm

we sit in silence and im debating weather or not to bring up earlier

"hey kat"

"yea" she says turning her head to face me again

"uhm do you remeber earlier?" i. ask

"when?" she asks

"when um... chris? was in here" i say knowing it wasnt chris

"oh yeah i remeber" she says

"um that wasn't chris.... it was me"

her lips part a little

"oh... im sorry i thought it was him" she replies

"yeah and we um.... well you know what" i say

"we what" she asks

"you dont remeber when um we you know were talking and then.."

silence

"we hugged" i blurt out

"oh right yeah... sorry" she says

"you dont need to apologise" i say

"but can i ask you a question" i ask again

"mhm" she responds

"are you done hating me now?" i ask not really wanting to know the answer

"maybe" she says smiling

my heart flutters

"really" i ask with a bit to much hope in my voice

"could we uhm maybe be... friends?" i ask

"yeah, we can" she says now smiling

im so happy, but it was just friends.

"ok ill let chris and nick talk to you now" i say getting up

"matt?" she says i turn around

"yeah" i say

"im sorry for being mean to you, you're actually really sweet im glad were friends" she says

i could actually jump up and down from joy right now but i have to play it cool

"me too" i smile and walk away

"matty and katty are friendssss matty and katty are friendssss" nick says in a sing song voice

"nick their more than friends" chris says smirking at nick

"whats the supposed to mean chris?" i ask

"oh nothing" he says still smirking

"ok then..." i say

"well how do you feel?" nick asks

"my head still hurts a little but i feel better" i say

"ugh no not that i mean about you ad matt!" nick says

"woah sorry for thinking you care about me" i say

"i dont know i feel i dont know why but i feel a little relieved" i say

"oh relived?" nick says smirking

"god nick stop being dumb im not in love with matt, i just-" i cut myself off i dont know why i was happy but i was

"happy." i say

"well if i say so myself it sounds like you've got a little thing form matty boy" chris says

"shut up chris!" i say

"she didnt deny it" nick whispers to chris but loud enough for kat to hear

"i heard that nick!" she says

nick whispers something to chris again but this time i cant hear
