Matt gives me a hoodie and sits next to me.
"Thank you for not letting me panic."
"I wasn't going to let you have a panic attack also."
I put my head on Matt's shoulder when Chris walks into the room.
"Oh Shelby.. your still here?"
"Oh uh yeah."
"Cool.."
Chris sat down next to me and I move closer to Matt. It felt wrong, but Chris had a weird hold on me.
———————
Matt had fallen asleep on the couch and I laid there next to him. I couldn't sleep. I covered Matt with a blanket and I walked into the kitchen to see Chris sitting there with a Pepsi.
"Couldn't sleep either?" Chris asked me.
"Nope, I haven't been able to sleep for a couple of days.."
I sit down next to Chris.
"Are you okay?"
"Shelby, you already know that I'm into you and I'm the reason Nick had a panic attack."
"What do you mean?"
"I told Nick not to say anything to Matt about me being into you because I didn't want to hurt Matt, but now that your here all the time my brain is falling apart!"
All of a sudden I move closer to Chris.
"I'm gonna regret this aren't I?"
"Maybe, but does it really matter?"
All of a sudden, Chris kisses me and I don't pull away. My hands wrap around his neck and I pull away with realization.
"Fuck. I can't do this."
I walk into Matt's room and sit there for a minute. I look down at myself knowing I'm wearing Matt's hoodie.
"God.. I feel terrible."
