My Boy

Decline

I roll over in bed and continue scrolling through my phone

I swipe away the notifications of text messages from everybody and pull my blankets up to my shoulders

My phone starts ringing and Chris's name spreads over my screen

I sigh and decline it before receiving a call from Matt

I decline it and turn off my phone

I lay on my stomach and close my eyes

My phone rings a few more minutes before it goes silent

I feel myself start to fall asleep when my front door opens

I jump out of bed and grab a knife from my beside table drawer and slowly creep out of my room holding it in front of me

I walk around the corner and jump seeing Matt

"You scared the shit out of me" I say holding the knife at me side

"I scared you? You scared the shit out of us! Where have you been?"

"Here"

"Why haven't you answered anyone's messages?"

"Didn't feel like it"

"Really?"

I shrug and walk back to my room and toss the knife back in my drawer

"You can't just ghost everyone for a week expecting us to not worry" he says laying next to me

"Oops?"

"I'm serious Jules"

"K I'm sorry."

"It's fine" he says pulling me into him and holding me against him

I lay my head against his chest and close my eyes

"I love you"

I feel my stomach tightening and stay quiet not knowing how to respond

"I'm s- I love you too" I say quietly

"Can we go to sleep"

"Yeah" he responds

"Jules?" Matt's scratchy voice calls out as he walks down the stairs

"Hm?"

"Why did you get out of bed?" He asks coming into the kitchen

"I wasn't tired anymore and didn't want to wake you"

"You could've just woken me up"

"I didn't want to"

"Why"

"Because you get mad when we wake you up"

"Not true"

"It is true."

He shakes his head and grabs his phone from his pocket

"I should go back home" he says looking down at me

"Byebye"

"You should come with, they miss you"

"I shouldn't"

"You really should, and you are"

"No"

"Don't you wanna see them?"

"Of course but they'll just be mad I ignored them"

"They'll get over it, get in the car"

"I have to?"

"Yes just come on" he says grabbing my hand

I sigh and follow him outside and get in the car

He pulls out of the driveway and quickly we arrive at their house

I get out of the car and walk inside rushing over to Chris and jumping into his arms

"Juliee"

"Chrissyyy" I shout

Matt walks in closing the door behind him and gives us a weird look

"You're my second favorite" I whisper in Chris's ear and jump off of him and lay on the couch

"Haha loser" Chris says to Matt

"SHHH" I say putting a finger on my lips

"Oops"

"What are you talking about?" Matt asks sitting next to me and laying in my legs

"Nothing" I say running my fingers through his hair

"I'm tired" he says rubbing his eye

"Really?"

"Mhm"

"It's like..12"

"I don't care" he says moving up and holding his arms beside me laying between my legs

"Your suffocating me Matt" I choke

"Your so dramatic"

"Just go to sleep if your gonna be annoying"

"I'm not annoying you are"

"Am not."

"Are too"

"Am not."

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am- shut up!" Chris shouts making me and Matt quiet

"Get off me"

I push him off and move over by nick
