He Took Us In

Chapter 15: One Night Stand

I was driving home from my work when I was thinking about what was said.
"You can't do anything right around here, Matt! So obviously you're not trying your best. We have to get rid of you."

I was trying my best. I thought I was doing great! My boss is just an ass. Being a pharmacist isn't hard at all. To be honest, I don't even know why he fired me because the others told me I was the best. Maybe he just didn't like me?

*Amanda's POV*
It was the end of the school day, a Friday. Sabrina and I decided to walk to the library. We stayed there until 6:00. Once we got home, I headed for the steps.

Until Sabrina stopped me and pointed around.

"It's kinda messy around here. Where do you think Matt is?"

"I don't know." I reply.

After five minutes of cleaning, we looked around and finally went up to Matt's room. We both knocked.

We heard a muffled, "What." Then walked in.

Matt had the shades in his room down, under his thick covers, and had a few Jack Daniels bottles.

"What do you two want?" He finally looks at us.

"What's wrong?" I ask then look at Sabrina.

He grunted, "Nothing! Leave me alone."

Sabrina chimed in, "Matt, you're upset. We don't like seeing you like this."

It seemed like it took forever until he answered, "What did I say? Get out and go to your damn rooms."

Sabrina and I gasp, "No! Tell us what's wrong. Right now."

"You don't tell me what to do," Matt gets up and stumbled towards us, clearly severely buzzed, "I tell you what to do. So for now on, no more library. You get back too late. And start cleaning up around here. It looks like shit."

I look at him disgusted, "We've already cleaned up the mess you've made. And you never cared about the library or time before."

"Well now I do." He backs us into the wall slowly then keeps us there by resting his hands on the wall beside us, "Get back late again and just see what happens."

Matt gets really close to our faces then looks us up and down while biting his lip.

We pushed him away then quickly went to our rooms, we packed a bag each.

Sabrina pauses, "I know it's the alcohol, but I can't believe he said that."

"I know. I'll be back."
With that said, I quickly went down the stairs and went through the cupboards. Finding what I was looking for, I went back upstairs.

I hold the objects up.

Sabrina laughs, "Two Jack Daniels? I don't know why he has all these bottles, but good thinking, sis."

"Here, put one in your bag and I'll put one in mine."
I hand her one.

Before we leave, Sabrina stops me.
"Don't you think we should leave him a note? I mean, he's drunk and he won't remember anything by morning."

I look around, "I was kinda thinking the same, but I don't know where pen and paper is.. Just go tell him real quick."

She hesitates a moment then trudges up the stairs.

*Sabrina's POV*
I looked in his room and he was sitting on the foot of his bed.

"Matt, Amanda and I are going somewhere."

"The only place you should be going is here." He points at his bed.

He's too cute when he's drunk, but ugh, I could smell his alcohol breath from here.
