(SUMMERS POV)

When I started to walk towards the shirt, I saw Ty walking toward it too. So I started to speed walk toward it. Then I broke out into a complete sprint and grabbed the shirt and ran but then I felt someone tug on my hair I turn to look and its Ty. I slap her in the head and laugh and sprint to the dressing room.
As I shut the door and lock it I say,
"Ty you know we can share this right?"
"This isn't Ty, it's Matt, can I come in?"
"Nice try, but no."
"Why?" Matt whined
"Because I just met you"
"Well then why did you sleep in Jacks bed?"
"Because of stuff." I lied
I actually feel like I know Jack and that I trust him through it all. He seems nice, but I don't know if I like him or not. He's just too good. But at the same time I feel like I know him kind of like I've hung out with him before.
"Ok well can I at least see the shirt on you?"
The shirt was tight all over so it definitely showed of my curves and chest. I walked out to see Jack and Matt wide eyed and mouths on the floor. I laughed, "Too tight?"
"No not at all! It looks great!" Matt said with a smirk
"What Matt said." Jack said eyes locked on me.
"Uh Jack my eyes are up here." I say with sass. He turns red and looks up.
Matt bursts out laughing.
Then Tyler walks in,"How's the-woah not to be mean or anything but you look like a stripper. I'm glad I didn't get to it first."
"Really? It's that bad?" I ask looking at myself in the mirror.
"No! It looks great! Buy it!" Matt says.
"Well-
I get cut off by a chorus of, Holy shits and Damns as the rest of the guys walk in.
"Good lord Jesus, Summer you look smokin'." says Taylor as he looks up and down my body. But then Jack G quickly turns around and does the "stop or I'm gonna kill you" stare and Taylor quickly stops. Then from a distance we hear screaming of what sounds like thousands of girls running towards the shop so Matt, Hayes and Jack stuff inside of my dressing room and the others go into the handicap one at the end. I look through the crack on the door and see Sammy run into the shop rushed and battered up. I peek my head out of the door, "Sam!" I say in a loud whisper. He runs into the dressing room and sits on the floor and looks up at me, "Damn nice shirt. You should buy it."
"Ugh you should buy yourself a life." I say with a smirk.
"I like a girl with sass." He gets up and walk towards me. Then he pushes me out of the dressing room and drags me to the hotel which was about a minuet away. I scream and cry but know one was there.
"I'm sorry Summer, but know one can hear you." he says while he shoves me up against the wall and punches me in
the gut. He gets super close to me and then he puts his hand on my thigh. "S-Sam stop." I say pushing him away and then I hear the door unlock and Matt run inside. He then runs in front of me and when Sam starts to walk towards me again Matt punches him square in the face which makes him pass out. I break down on the floor crying. Matt sits next to me and runs his fingers down my back. Then I look up at him and he pulls me into a tight loving hug.
We release and he says, "Don't worry, I'm here for you. I always will be." I smile and I look down, "Oh my god, I stole the shirt."
Me and Matt both start to laugh.
"I'll come with you to bring it back."
"Ok." I smile and I then quickly change into a lacy white crop top and black high waisted shorts. Then I wait for Matt because he wanted to drag Sam into a bathroom down the hall. I knew Sam was a fag the minute I met him. Once Matt is done we head back to the
shop and secretly put the shirt back and run down to the beach where we spot all the guys in a nervous reck walking, some running, back to the hotel.
"HEY GUYS WE'RE OVER HERE!" Me and Matt yelled in unison.
All of them turned around and ran towards us. They all looked like they've been crying or worrying. Hayes runs up to me and hugs me, "We all thought you were dead or hurt."
"I probably would've been if it wasn't for Matt."
Jack walked over to me and hugged me tightly.
"Don't worry, I'm here for you. I'll always be." Matt said the same thing.
Then I felt someone grab my bad wrist. It took me back to the memory of the last time my brother ever abused me, I was 15 and it was after he took me for the "little" ride. He was about to leave and then he turned back and grabbed my wrist and yanked me towards him. He slapped me and punched me until I couldn't breathe then he took my wrist and dropped it and stepped on it. Then he left. So I flinched and turned around with rage. I didn't know or care who it was and I just jumped on him. Punched him and slapped him the same way Austin did to me. Then I got up and ran away crying. I knew I hurt someone but I didn't know who.

I ran as fast as I could to the hotel and went in my room and locked the door. About an hour later I heard a knock at the door, I opened it to see Nash.
"Hey Summer, can I come in?" He said softly.
"Yeah sure."
We both sat on my bed in silence for a couple of minutes until Nash said,
"What the hell got into you back there?"
So I told him about everything, my mom, dad, brother, and the group home. At the end of it I was sobbing,
"S-so who was it, the p-person that I h-hurt?"
"It was Matt Summer, it was Matt."
"Where is he! I need to talk to him!"
"He's back at his hotel room."
With that I got up thanked Nash and hugged him and ran to the elevator. Once I was there I knocked lightly,
"Who is it?" It was Matts voice.
"It's Summer, can we talk? Please."
Then I heard the door unlock and I walked in to a black and blue guy that I hurt, it was all my fault. I sat on his bed and told him everything I told Nash.
"I'm sorry Matt, I really am." I said with an apologetic smile.
"It's okay Sum."
I got up to leave but Matt stopped me in my tracks. He looked into my eyes and I looked into his swollen eyes.
"Uh, Nash is sleeping in your room with Tyler and a couple of the guys are in your room too. Do you wanna sleep in here?" I nodded and took a shower and put on one of Matts shirts. I walked out and Shawn patted my back and I smiled at him. Then I continued walking and got into Matts bed and Matt wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead and said,
"I'm glad I met you Summer."
"Why I almost beat you to death." I laughed.
"You made me realize that when your with the person that you care about most, you forget about their flaws and your own flaws and you just feel, free. Summer you aren't a mistake."
"Yes I am Matt."
"Well if you think that your a mistake, than to me you were the best mistake ever made."
I smile and drift off into a deep sleep.
