SummerTime

chapter sixteen

We were just chilling on the couch when I got a message.

Madison: I’m sorry about Darcy…. She shouldn’t have said that. I’m really sorry! Can I come back?

Me: Madison, you already chose to go with your ‘friend’ Darcy and I thought you never wanted to talk to me?

Madison: I was wrong! I’m sorry… If our friendship is ruined over this stupid thing then I don’t think we were close enough friends.

Me: Okay that’s not helping at all with coming back! Plus the house is already full. Matt has joined us for the rest of the summer.

Madison: Matt? Why him? I thought him and Shelby would break up after he tells her

Me: Tell her what?

Madison: What Darcy and Matt did..

Me: What did they do?

Madison: They did stuff. Sexual stuff.

After that I didn’t want to text her anymore. “What’s the matter?” Austin asked me. I just shrugged my shoulders. He came and put his arm around me. I showed him my phone and he read the messages. “So he cheated on her?!” Austin said in an angry voice. “Austin calm down. We don’t know for sure!” I said trying to calm him down. He stood up. “When he gets here, me and him are going to have a little talk.” He said starting to pace. All of a sudden the door opens and I hear Matt. I looked at Austin who stopped pacing and looked towards the door. He started walking around the couch. I jumped over the back of it and stood in front of him, one hand on his chest. “Austin, don’t” I said, looking at him with worry voice. Everyone had confusion on their face. “Please. Leave it be. Let me talk to him before you do anything stupid.” I said as Austin calmed down. He went and sat down in the chair across the room. “Matt can I talk to you?” I asked him. He nodded and we went outside. “Someone had told me that you and Darcy did some stuff.” I said flat out. I watched his reaction. I watched him go from confused, to mad, to sad. “Darcy and I didn’t do anything while Shelby and I were dating. We did stuff a couple of days before and that’s all!” he said.
