Matts pov:

I cant think straight while im staring into her wild green eyes. " matt!" She giggles and pushes my arm. " yeah. Whats up?" I ask. " i asked you if you wanted to get dinner after the hockey game?" She asks.

My chest starts to beat and i shift on foot to foot. My stomach sinks and i start to feel sick.   " umm." I stutter. Shes staring back at me, her eyes wide and waiting. She picks up a peice  of her brown hair and she smiles.

" umm yeah maybe. Im not sure. Actually i cant." I say. Her smile drops and she just nods. " thats okay. Maybe another time." She says and walks off. I watch her leave and i swear i could punch a wall.

I wait for my brothers in the car and then drive us home. I head straight up to my room and flop on my bed. Why couldn't i just say i wanted to go out with her? Why did i chicken out?

After dinner i sit on the sofa and eat ice cream while watching tv. Chris walks past me and raises a brow. " whats up with you?" He asks me. I shake my head. " nothing just a shitty day." I say. He claps a hand on my Shoulder and heads upstairs.

Friday. The big hockey game. Its the last game of the season and i skate onto the ice to see y/n cheering on the bleachers with a black haired boy. His eyes are set on her but i lock eyes with her.

We win the match and i skate off to see my family. My mom hugs me tight and my dad smiles bright and kisses my forehead. " well done honey!" She cheers and then does the same when Chris walks over.

" go get dressed and we will get some food." My dad says and me and Chris walk off to the changing rooms and get showered and changed. I sling my backpack over my shoulder  and y/n is waiting against the wall.

" hey matt." She says. I smile and walk over to her. " i know you probably have celebrations of your own but were having a party at my house so if you want to come with your brothers then that would be great." She explains. She smiles and stands up from the wall. " yeah. Sounds good. I think were getting food but yeah later on." I say and she smiles. " cool. Dont let me down." She jokes and i smile. We walk together to my dads car. I get in and wave to y/n.

" who are you waving to?" Nick asks. " just y/n. Shes having a party." I murmur and we head to a nearby diner. I get bacon and pancakes and a soda. By 9:30 were done. I head home to change and Chris agrees to come. Nick just laughs in my face when i ask if he wants to come.

I put on jeans and a t shirt and Chris is in sweats. I laugh and grab my keys. We pull onto the street near the house. The house is overflowing and there are people dancing on the lawn.

We walk into the house and a couple people clap my shoulder and cheer. I head to get a soda and someone puts a beer in Chris' hand. He goes outside to talk to the team and i see
y/n dancing in the living room.

She smiles at me and then tries to wave me over. I shake my head and someone from the team walks up to me. I feel a hand on my shoulder and y/n is smiling behind me. My chest starts to beat and my stomach drops.

" hey." She says and pours herself a beer. She jumps on the counter and crosses her legs. " congrats on today." She says and i thank her. I wrap an arm around her waist and hug her.

Y/n's pov:

Ive been talking to him for an hour. People in the house are wasted and some people have filtered out. There is karaoke in the living room and i still keep my eyes on him. I cant keep my eyes off him.

" Can i tell you something, i like you." I say. He looks startled and i wait for his face to soften and it dosent. He flinches and puts his cup on the counter next to me.

" umm. Listen." He says. I shake my head and jump off the counter. " dont worry. I- forget i said anything." I smile and walk off. I head to my room and tears start to threaten my eyes.  I wait for him to burst in the room but he dosent. God how stupid?

Matts pov:

" i like you." She says. Im replaying the whole
Thing through my head while i roam the house for Chris. He's laughing outside and i motion for him to come here. He says goodbye and i tell him i want to go.

"Why? Are you okay?" He asks. I nod and drive us home. I run upstairs and slam my door. I flop on my bed, thinking about how i fucked everything up.

" Matt!" Nick exclaims. I hear him coming upstairs and he pushes my door open. " whats up?" He asks. " nothing. Just go." I say. He shakes his head and sits on my desk chair. " what happened." He asks again. I sit up and sigh.  " y/n told me she liked me and i got too anxious to tell her i like her." I sigh and he cocks an eyebrow.

" matt, tell her. I mean she likes you so what could go wrong? JUST GO TELL HER." He starts to yell. " NO." I shout. " YES. GO TELL HER." He says. I check the time and its 11:30. I drive over to her house and theres not many people here. Shes not downstairs so i start knocking on the doors.

Shes sat on her bed. Shes been crying. " y/n." I whisper. She jolts up and i smile. " im sorry. I like you but i acted like a jerk because i was scared. I was anxious." I explain. I see tears in her eyes and i cross the room, closing the door behind me.

" you like me." She asks. I nod my head. " im sorry i shot you down. My stomach just turned and i got anxious. But i really dont want to let you go again." I say. She jumps up and flings her arms around me and kisses me. Im startled at first but then i wrap an arm around her.

" im sorry." I repeat. " stop saying you sorry and just kiss me." She says. I grin and push my lips to hers. I run my fingers through her hair and she smiles against my lips.
