I reserve my right to feel uncomfortable
Reserve my right to be afraid
I make mistakes and I am humbled every step of the way
I want to be a better person
I want to know the master plan
Cast your stones Cast your judgement
You don't make me who I am
Sometimes You're The Hammer, Sometimes You're The Nail ~ A Day To Remember
I didn't know if this party was a good idea or not but Rosie and Blake had insisted I go. I didn't tell them it had taken me hours to get ready, everything I'd put on just didn't seem right. It was Matt's fault, all of it, he'd made me feel bad but I couldn't help but think about that kiss and how nice it had been, how I'd felt something when he kissed me, he'd just ruined it with his reaction. I didn't want this complication in my life, to have feelings for a man who was mourning his wife, so after tonight I'd decided that was it, no more seeing Matt.
Blake and Rosie had picked me up and as soon as we arrived Matt came over to me, offering to get me a drink. I hated him, he looked so nice and now everytime I looked at him I got a funny feeling in my stomach.
I stuck by Rosie, and I didn't plan on her leaving her side, even when Matt told me he wanted me to meet a few of his friends, he could bring his friends to me. I was about to tell him when a loud shrill voice interrupted me, well interrupted the whole party.
"WELL HEY BOYS."
Who the fuck is that, I thought looking over and what I saw made my heart stop.
It was her, she was standing ten feet away from me, very much alive.
I felt Rosie reach out and grab me. "It's okay." She whispered.
"Holy shit." Matt called, walking over to her. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm back for good."
"Come here." Rosie said tugging on my arm gently.
I looked at her, I opened my mouth but nothing came out. She led me to a seat and sat me down.
"Peyton." She said. "It's okay, that's Tess, Tiffanys twin."
"Twin?"
"Yes, so close your mouth."
I couldn't help it, for a moment I'd thought a dead woman was standing in front of me.
"She's been living in Europe, came home briefly when Tiffany died but then went back."
I looked at her, all the guy's were hugging her and Matt, Matt just looked so fucking happy.
"She looks exactly like her." I whispered.
"She does."
We sat there in silence, watching everyone greet her, apparently everyone but me knew she existed.
"I can't fucking stand her." Rosie whispered to me.
I looked at her. "Why?"
"She's a fucking bitch and I can assure you she's here for a reason, she didn't just decide to move back here." She told me, glaring at her. "She has some plan."
"What do you mean?"
"Please Peyton, she's not a nice person, she only does things that benefit her, ew fuck they're coming over."
I looked up and Matt was walking her towards us.
"Peyton, this is Tess." He said, introducing us.
I smiled. "Nice to meet you."
"Yeah you too." She said glancing around. "Matty I'd love a drink."
How fucking rude, she had barely acknowledged me.
I watched Matt lead her off to get a drink and he looked back and smiled at me. I didn't smile back.
"Ugh, the nights ruined." Rosie muttered. "As soon as we can we're leaving, I'm not sitting here watching her try to make herself the centre of attention."
"She can't be that bad." I said.
"Oh no she's not." Rosie said standing up. "She's worse than that."
I looked over to see Tess laughing up at Matt and Matt grinning at her like an idiot.
I was glad I never had to see him again.
