"nick, open the door and get her inside."

nick crawled out of the back seat and walked out to me. putting his arm around me, he lead me to the car.

i sat down inside and he shut the door for me. he ran around to the other side and got in on his side.

i realized my arms were still wrapped around my torso as matt handed me the hoodie he was wearing

"are you ok?" he asked as i took it from his hands.

"hazel, what happened? why the hell were you walking by yourself in the rain?" nick questioned, he voice was loud and laced with concerned.

i couldn't answer as i squeezed into matt's hoodie.

"i don't wanna talk about it right now."
i mumbled, sniffing slightly, whether it was from the rain or the thin line of tears in my eyes, i couldn't tell.

"you wanna go to our house for the night?" matt asked, his tone was so gentle. i almost smiled if it wasn't for the situation at hand.

i only nodded at looked down at my lap.

the drive was silent. and not the good kind.

i felt nick's eyes on me the whole time. the look of concern that he gave me was enough to make me burst into tears.

i couldn't look at him. at any of them.

i was still in so much shock about everything that happened.

how? how could he say those things?

i was pulled from my thoughts to a hand on my shoulder.

"we're here, haze." nick said.

i got out of the car and matt led me up to his room.

"here's, uh, some clothes." he said handing me a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants.

"i'll go so you can change." he mumbled, turning around and closing the door after him.

i shrugged out of his hoodie and peeled the dress off of my body. pulling the t-shirt and sweatpants on, i stood in there comfort. they smelled like matt.

i sat my heels and purse in the corner of the room.

i pulled my phone out to find several missed calls and texts from aaliyah.

i almost cried reading her texts. i felt so bad.

she was worried about me and i left without saying anything.

i heard a knock on the door followed by a: "hazel, are you decent?"

"um, yea, i'm good."

the door cracked open before opening all the way.

matt walked in awkwardly.

"um, what should i do with this?" i asked, looked down at the wet dress in my hands.

"i can put it through the washer." he offered. i nodded, handing it to him with a small smile.

he walked out of the room again and i followed.
