when hayden opens her eyes, she's at peace for a moment, feeling the rise and fall of chris' chest under her head.

that is- until she realizes that she can feel the rise and fall of his chest under her head.

she cant keep doing this to herself- that's why she ended the whole fake relationship!

she cant let herself get comfy and become close with him, when ultimately all the two have ever done to each other is hurt the other.

zola slinks out of his arms, checking her phone to open the snaps from matt.

whoops.

wrapping her arms around the hoodie, she pulls it over her head and leaves it on chris's chair, before heading down the hallway to matt's room.

she knocks quietly, before opening the door to see him sitting up slightly, on his phone.

"oh, hey." his voice is still raspy from awaking, rubbing a hand down his face

"hiiii" hayden grins, letting herself flop down onto her stomach beside him

she looks up at him, his eyes on his phone. shit, he looks mad. was her missing coming up to watch a movie really that bad??

"um, sorry i didn't come up last night. i was talking to chris about something."

unexpectedly, matt rolls his eyes, "yeah, of course."

she chews at her bottom lip, "i told him i didn't want to do that fake dating thing anymore."

"really?" matt puts his phone down, his attention now fully on her, "that's over?"

"yeah," hayden brushes it off, looking up at her best friend, "your not mad are you? i'm really sorry."

he shakes his head, "'course not."

she lets out a breathe she didn't know she was keeping in, wrapping her arms around him in a hug, before letting herself lean next to him, "okay, 'love you."

matt knows his heart shouldn't hurt from this, but it does. but now that chris and her aren't pretending to date- maybe this could finally be his chance?

"hayden! please come downstairs!" her mother shouts, interrupting her work on her homework

zola pops out her airpods, making her way down the stairs, freezing when she sees who's in her family room

elena sits on the chair beside her parents, with the solove's sitting across from them.

"ah zola! it's been too long!" elena's mom exclaims

she pastes a fake smile on not correcting the name, "yeah, what's going on?"

"don't be rude." her mom scolds, "we decided to invite the ramsdens over, it's been to long since we've seen elena anyways."
