Our day has come
It's drawn in the sky
So don't shed a tear now
Be thankful for the time
Acid Rain ~ Avenged Sevenfold
"Let's go." Matt said finishing his beer and standing up.
"Do you mind?" Brian asked, holding up his half finished drink.
"Drink it. I want to get home and a have a few."
Matt had a point, he couldn't exactly drink while he was the one driving.
I stood up too and followed him out while the other two finished their drinks.
"I'm only trying you know." He said as we both climbed in the car. "Trying to get it right."
I looked at him. "The album?"
"I just want it to be perfect."
"I'm sure it will be, from what I've seen and heard it's going to be great."
He opened his mouth to reply but my phone interrupted him.
I looked at it.
"Uh-oh." I mumbled answering it. "Hello."
"PEYTON WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" Blake screamed down the phone at me.
"Blake I....."
"DON'T BLAKE ME."
Matt reached over and grabbed the phone of me. "Blake it's me....yeah....sorry I needed Peyton so I borrowed her.....yeah.....the rest of the afternoon......no you might as well go home.......okay bye."
He smiled handing me back the phone. "That's settled." He said as Sam and Brian got in.
"Let's go." Sam said.
I sat in silence as those three chatted on the drive, I was a little shocked at Matt, how he stood up for me, how he was being open, explaining his behavior.
I was even more shocked when we arrived at his house, he had a code to open the gate and as we drove in I couldn't believe it, it certainly was a beautiful house.
We all got out and Matt opened the door, I followed him in, glancing around.
"Should we go out the back?" Brian asked.
"Yeah you go, I'm gonna organise a drink."
Matt headed off oneway and Sam, who'd obviously been here before, headed off the opposite way.
I followed Sam but some pictures caught my eye and I stopped. They were Matt's wife. I'd never seen her before.
"Oh that's Tiff." Brian said quietly.
"Tiff?"
"Her name was Tiffany, we all miss her."
"I'm sorry." I said quietly, looking at her. She'd been a beautiful woman.
"Yeah, it was hard, but especially for Matt. We were on tour and we were doing a show in Vegas and she suddenly decided she'd drive out to see us, they think she fell asleep because she just ran off the road and hit a tree."
"Oh god."
"Yeah." He said quietly.
I felt so bad for them all but especially Matt, god what he must be going through.
I followed Brian out the back, astounded at the entertainment area and the swimming pool.
"Nice right?" Sam said, grinning at me.
I was glad Sam was here, otherwise I would have felt so out of place, this kind of fabulousness just wasn't me.
"Yes." I whispered, sitting next to him.
"Here we go." Matt said walking outside.
He had beer that he placed in the fridge outside then he proceeded to pull out a bottle of Jack Daniels and hand us each a glass.
"To relaxing." He said raising his glass.
We all clinked glasses and I watched as the three of them threw their drink down.
"Come on Peyton." Matt said smirking at me. "Drink up."
I looked at him, then down at my drink.
Oh well, here goes.
I lifted it to my lips and drank it down, it burnt the whole way.
They all laughed at me, but I didn't think it was that funny.
"You know Peyton." Matt said, sitting next to me. "If you're going to hang out with me, your JD skills need to improve."
Hang out with him? I wasn't sure what he meant by that, we still barely knew eachother, but honestly I was happy to hang out with Matt at anytime, he really was a nice guy and I'd decided that I liked him.
