Series Of Falls

♔ L u c y ♔

As soon as I left Megan's car at her house - which is only seven houses away - I checked the garage for Rebecca's car, which thankfully wasn't there yet. Now I'm just changing out of my soaked clothes to take a shower.

Blow drying my hair after the shower, I pull my hair up in a messy bun - if it can even classify as a bun - and fall on my bed. The comfort of the bed takes me over, making me sigh in content. With the events of today tiring me, I close my eyes and eventually fall asleep.

"Lucy." Someone whispers-yells in my ear, annoying me.

"Ummffsh!" I mumble intelligently.

"Scott!" A deeper voice calls this time.

"I run the kitchen of this house. I will get knives lady dogs!" I threaten, waving my arms all over the place.

The next thing that takes over my ears is laughing. Unable to sleep, I slowly get up, drowsily opening my eyes and switching on the lights. All my sleep instantly vanishes when I see Jason and a still very wet Matt standing before me, clutching their sides as they continue their fit of guffaws.

I begin thinking of why he of all people is standing in my room. Did Nathan figure out who I was? Great. Just, amazing.

"L-l-lad-ady do-og?" Jason says between laughs. "Awh, Lu! You're so innocent!"

I twitch my nose. "Jay, I love you, but it's-" I pause to check the time on my phone. "Two in the morning. Unlike you people, I have to wake up bright and early in the morning because your witch of a mother - no offense, like I said, I love you - hates me. So, for the love of all the is good and holy, get lost and let me sleep."

Yeah, I'm very cranky when I don't get enough sleep. I feel my head getting heavy, my eyes beginning to droop.

"Why d-" Matt begins, but shakes his head as if to say never mind.

Suddenly, it occurs to me. If Matt found out already, he wouldn't be beating around the bush. He would get straight to the point. "If you're hungry, there's leftover fish pie in the microwave. I'm sure that you're not as stupid as your friend over here, that you can't even work the microwave. There, problem solved. Now buzz off."

"PMS, Little Nerd? That would explain the abusiveness and temper." Matt suddenly makes me regret jumping in that water.

"Am I talking to you?" I snap, arms crossed, eyebrows raised.

Jason steps in front of Matt, smiling pleadingly. "We just want a favor. Can you let Matt sleep here tonight? Please?"

I laugh out loud at that. "Sure Jay. What's next? You want me to give Barbara a hug and say I love her? Not happening."

"I'll give you two cookies if you let him sleep here. " He bribes.

I bite my lips. "Three, or I walk."

"Deal." He smiles, shaking my hand. I scowl at Matt, who's smiling in amusement.

"Take the bed, I'll take the couch." I instruct.

"That isn't necessary. We could always share." He smirks suggestively and I scoff.

"The day we share a bed is the day I pour my heart out to you, Matt. And I'm pretty sure that's never happening. So, unless you want to take the couch, wear the extra clothes Jason gave you and shut the heck up before going to sleep."
