Player: Chapter 23

**Beth's POV**
I woke up on the couch with a sticky shirt on. I sat up and looked around. I didn't see or hear Ray. I stood up and took my shirt off. I walked to my room to put on a new clean one and the dirty one in the hamper. I opened my door and saw Ray standing in front of door.

"Ray?" I said. He looked at me and held out his arms.

"I'm so sorry. I just panicked. I thought you died." He said.

"It's okay." I said.

"Where's Matt? I wanna talk to him." He asked. I looked down and felt tears rush down my face. I walked to Ray and gave him a long hug.

"Oh god. I'm so sorry." He said

"What happened?" He asked.

"I don't wanna talk about it." I cried harder. He rubbed my back making me feel relaxed.

"Where's mom and dad? I thought they'd be here?" I asked.

"No. They got stuck in New York. Snow was covering everything. 12 feet of snow." He said. I looked down. I really wanna see mom. It was quiet for a minute until my phone started ringing. Ray saw and picked it up.

"It's Cameron. He's been calling you." He said. I walked to him and answered my phone.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Beth! What the hell where have you been?" He asked.

"Sorry I got in a- I got caught in something with Ray." I said.

"When did you get home?" He asked.

"I got home a few hours ago." I said.

"You couldn't call once you were home?"

"Like I said, I was caught up with Ray Cameron." I said. He took a deep breath.

"At least your home and safe." He said.

"Yeah. I'm gonna go and hang out with Ray. I'll call you later." I said. I hung up and looked at Ray.

"Movie?" I asked. He nodded his head. We walked to the living and watched a movie.
