I wake up on my bedroom floor. I don't even dare to look up at my bed, but I couldn't help but look.

Gross. Note to self: Make Matt clean my bed

Matt was still asleep , I knew he was going to have the worst hangover ever so being a good best friend I go downstairs and make him some eggs (a great way to get rid of hangovers may I add). I run to the grocery store and buy a blue PowerAid (also gets rid of hangovers may I add). When I finally get home Matt barely starts to wake up, at 11:37 am. Still earlier than my lazy ass.

"Woah what happened last night?" He asks

"Lots of things. Like we went to Macy's party, you got drunk, you threw up on me, you wanted Misty's, so we went to Misty's, did I mention you vomited on me? Oh and when we got home you wanted to watch Lion King, you finally fell asleep so I carried you to my room and put you in my bed. Just as I was getting in my bed you threw up in my bed so I slept on the floor. But guess who gets to do my laundry and wash my bed sheets?" I say

"I don't know it's probably someone that's NOT in your room" He says with emphasis on the not.

"Matthew, I don't play"

"I'll clean your whole room today. Please tell me my mom doesn't know I got drunk" He asks

"Oh. She does" I say with a straight face

"WHAT!?" He frantically says

"Kidding" I say and laugh "Get downstairs I made you eggs and bought you PowerAde

"You are the greatest bestest friend in the whole wide world you make everything a lot funner." He says

"Are you sure you're not still drunk because half of those words are actually words" I say while I go downstairs. He follows after

"I'm pretty sure. My head is pounding though"

"It's called a hangover Matt" I say sarcastically

"Well I don't want to be home all day 'sick' let's go somewhere"

"Well the eggs and PowerAde should help so once those kick in we can go somewhere" I say

"Let's have a You-Day" He says

"What the fuck is a You-Day" I ask

"A day all about you. My repayment for taking care of my drunken ass last night" He says

"Hell no. Anyways me taking care of your drunken ass was repayment for you buying Misty's" I say

" But no thanks. Buy me Misty's I'll be fine" I say

"How come you never let me repay you in anyway?"

"Because I don't need it" I say straightly

"What's the real reason?"

"That's the real reason"

"It can't be" I say

"WELL IT JUST IS MATTHEW GOD DAMN NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO HAVE A REAL FUCKING REASON CAN YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!?" I yell

He had a scared look on his face. I haven't yelled that loudly at him ever since I yelled at him about him taking my favorite book that I was rereading for the 7th time. But that was three years ago

Suddenly he had an angry look on his face.

"WHY EMMA!? EVERYTIME I TRY DO SOMETHING FOR YOU, YOU Y-YOU DON'T ACCEPT IT LIKE IT'S HORRIBLE TO CARE FOR YOU DO YOU NOT WANT PEOPLE TO CARE FOR YOU?! He yells back

Did he really just say that to me?

I start to walk back upstairs.

"Emma wait! I didn't mean it" He yells at me
