005 - the way you appear

Matt and I were standing against a wall at yet another Tarayummy party while Nick and Chris were off doing their own thing

  "I'm ready to leave" I groan which Matt nods his head agreeing. We stare an each other for a bit. Maybe he's warming up to me "you don't act aloud the way you appear" he says breaking the silence "what you mean?" I ask. He sighs "I thought you'd be some party animal like Tara or a drunk or idk crazy like" he clears his throat "Nessa" I stared for a second before responding "I guess I'm a fake alt girl" he looked back at me and we laughed a little. My phone buzzed

   "Lola Tung? She's an actor right?" He scoots closer to me looking over at my phone "yeah she's a friend of me but she's trying to get me to audition for a role" he nods and puts his head near my shoulder "you wanna"
 
"Heyy pretty" Carrington yells across the room signaling me to go over to him. Matt groans and whispers close to my ear "your 'boyfriend' is here" he says sarcastically. I roll my eyes playfully "I'll be back" and give him a small smile

  Carrington aggressively throws his arm over my shoulder "what are you even doing with that guy?" He scoffs "just a friend" he pulls my to a wall and tries leaning himself over me "well your friend now has a friend" he tilts his head back to were Matt was

  I look over to see him talking to Sab. "Oh shit" I whisper about to walk over there "Ellie" Carrington says grabbing my arm "common you don't even like that guy, and besides he hates you right?" He says moving me closer to the wall "yeah but" I was cut off with Carringtons lips against mine

  I tried gently pushing him off of me before he was aggressively shoved to the side "let's go" Nick says holding on to my hand speed walking away "Ellie" Carrington yells after me "nope no" I hear Chris shushing him

  "First of he's totally fucking quen and second he's a dick just stick to your whole acting shit" Matt says driving us back to my house "Matt" Chris smacks his arm "Hey!" Matt yells and smack him back "hey I'd like to not crash!" I yell jokingly trying to change the subject "uh you can just drop me off here" Matt nods and parks "well thank you for the ride and um. Bye!" I run off "I looove youuu" Nick yells jokingly "bye bye sweetie" Chris chimes in

-MATTS POV-

  "She lives here?" I ask them "yeah" Chris says like it's nothing. I give him a face of concern "that's why she stayed with us, she had an internet troll calming to stalk her and it's sketchy here" I nod and drive off

—

  "Do you think Carrington wants me?" Quen asks larray "ughh" I groan "bye pretty" Carrington says to quen on the phone. "Well jeez isn't the stab to the gut" I talk to myself. Kitty jumps onto my bed purring on to my arm "hi Kitty" I pet his little head "let's go outside"

  I was carrying Kitty in a cat bag the I wear while holding him. For a cat I got just to cover up a lie I really am starting to love. Shit I shouldn't had walked around so late

  "What your cats name" I jump back and point my taser at the random guy..Matt? "Matt!!" I yell at him "he moves the taser away from him "jeezus stop doing that" I yell again putting my taser back in my pocket "doing what?" He shrugs "why are you here?" I ask "I was gonna ask you to come stay with us again" he says looking down at his feet "what?" I ask toning my voice down "it's just sketchy here "not safe for" he stops himself and looks at Kitty "for your cat"

  I laugh a little "why are you out here so late?" "How'd you find me?" He huffs "I asked first" "I looked up the whole carrington and Quen thing" I sniff a little "no way you actually like that creep?" He slightly raises his voice "no no I just, I don't know thought I could fit in with them" I admit to him "well you don't" he says bluntly. I furrow my eyebrows and open my mouth a bit giving him a confused angry face

"what you don't" he laughs "it's like what I said at the party" you never act aloud the way you appear "oh yeah, fake alt girl" I nod "you're not loud not a drunk, don't smoke, your not a sell out" my face softens "your a good person, you just try to fit in with the wrong people" that was the nicest thing he's ever said to me.

  Then i started crying.

  "Why are you crying!" He yells "I miss Ellie" I sob more hugging onto kitty "oh my god" he smacks his face into his hands "i love being around your brothers more then anything, it's just hard not having a girl best friend here in LA" it was quiet until i hear him snort "its not funny" i smack his arm still crying

    "common I'll walk you back home" "how'd you find me?" I asked sniffing up my tears "I parked at your apartment and then saw you waddling around with a cat, what is your cats name?" He stops and asks me again "Kitty" I say quietly "no" "what?" "No, no way kitty?" He asks "yes" he stops walking and looks at me crazy "that is the worse name" I scoff "you name him" "Finn" I look back him "that was fast" he shrugs "I really want a cat" "wanna hold him while I open the apartment door. He quickly grabs Kitty. Well Finn ig from my bag and starts petting him
