Save me
I'm trapped in a vile world
Where the ending's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
Save me
I'm losing my only dream
I could use some guiding light
Some place to go
If you hear me let me know
Save Me ~ Avenged Sevenfold
"There." Rosie said, handing me my purse. "You look gorgeous."
"I don't think so."
"Well I do, you look beautiful."
I looked down at the dress I had on. "I don't want to look beautiful."
"Of course you do." She said.
I shook my head.
"Matt will swoon when he sees you." She smirked.
"Matt is not my date, besides I don't care what he thinks." I snapped.
"Yes okay Peyton, whatever you say."
"Brian is my date and I don't want him thinking I went to all this trouble for him."
"When in fact you did it for Matt." Rosie added.
"Yes....what....no....stop it."
She smiled and sat on the couch. "I'm staying here. Blakes at the studio so home is boring."
I opened my mouth to answer when a car horn interrupted us.
"Ugh, I don't want to go." I groaned.
"Go." She said jumping up and opening the door. "It was nice of them to come to the door." She added sarcastically.
"See you." I grumbled, walking down the path to the car.
I looked as I walked. Matt was driving, Tess was in the front with him and Brian was in the back.
I opened the door and climbed in the back, behind Matt.
"Sorry I didn't come to the door." Matt said. "We're running late."
"Oh it's fine." I mumbled, glancing at Brian, who grinned at me.
"Piper, you look so cute." Tess said.
"Peyton." Matt told her.
Piper, Peyton, whatever.
"Gee, okay Matthew, calm down." She said reaching over and squeezing his leg.
God, that made me so angry, she'd touched him.
Stop, I told myself, no more, I was done with Matt, forever.
Everybody made small talk on the drive to the restaurant, well actually Tess waffled on with shit and occasionally someone would say "Yeah."
I couldn't get out of the car fast enough once we arrived, but I quickly changed my mind once I found myself sitting next to Brian, but directly across from Matt.
Damn, now I had to sit here and look at him. I hated my life.
I didn't enjoy myself, not one bit. I sat there, while Brian draped his arm across the back of my chair, listening to them talk. I didn't contribute, I had nothing to say.
A few times I felt Matt's leg brush mine and each time I moved my legs quickly away from his. God, I just wanted to go home.
"Dessert?" Matt was asking me, waving his hand in front of my face.
"Huh, sorry no thanks." I mumbled, avoiding his gaze.
"Gosh." Tess added. "Are you okay Piper?"
"For christ sake it's Peyton." Matt snapped at her.
Tess looked shocked. "Calm down Matthew, maybe we should just go straight to the movies."
"Good idea." He grumbled, pushing his chair back and standing up.
No no no, I wanted to go home, not to the movies.
We all made our way back to the car, climbing back in and as I did up my seat belt I glanced at the rear view mirror to see Matt looking back at me.
I couldn't help myself, I pulled a face at him, I don't know what I was thinking.
His eyes widened and the he smiled.
Great, I wasn't doing it to be funny, I was doing it because I hated being here and I hated him. Stupid Matt, dumb Matt who kissed me then dragged me on a date with his new girlfriend, Matt the king of assholes.
Christ I hoped this movie was short.
