•Matt's POV•
•Wednesday Night - 6:00 p.m.•

Once Sam and I finished unpacking our stuff we hanged around the apartment for a bit. Sam got to get to know the guys and from what it looks like Cam seems to like her. Which I don't know how to feel about that because she just got out of a rough relationship she shouldn't rush things with anyone. Even if Cam is a nice guy.

"What's going down tonight?" Nash asked.

"Well there's this party," Cam added.

Sam looked at me, she hasn't gone to a party since she broke up with Chase and almost got beat by a jackass trying to get in her pants.

"Y'all want to go?" Cam asked.

"Uhh...I don't know," Sam said unsure.

"Come on! It will be fun!" Nash said.

"Matt.." Sam trailed off to me to see what I would say.

"I mean only if you want to Sam, you don't have to."

"Is Matt like your dad or something?" Cam asked.

"No," Sam laughed a bit, "just had a rough experience the last party I went to." She said looking down at her lap.

"Come on Sam! You have us to take care of you," Cam said.

"Are you going?" She asked me.

"Only if you go, if you don't want to then I'll stay with you."

"But do you want to go?"

"Yeah but-"

"Okay, I'll go."

"Sam, are you sure?" I asked.

"Yeah, just make sure that if I drink that I don't drink too much."

"Let's go get ready party is at 8," Cam said standing up along with Nash.

"It's barely 6:10," I said.

"With you here, you'll probably take hours," Cam said referring to Sam.

"Hey! I'm not your typical girl that takes 2 hours to get ready," she said crossing her arms.

"Sure you aren't," Nash laughed.

"Im just going to have to prove them wrong." Sam said as we walked to our room.

I decided to take a shower while Sam decided on what to wear. My shower wasn't all that long. So I got out and wrapped the towel around my waist.

I stepped out of the restroom to see Sam applying makeup.

"Wow, you already got your outfit picked out," I smirked.

"Yeah, I'm almost ready don't worry," she said continuing to apply makeup.

"Don't worry, the guys take long too."

She laughed a bit, "and they say I take long."

I grabbed some clothes and walked back into the restroom to change. I decided to just wear a gray hoodie with some black jeans with my black vans.

"I'm ready!" Sam & I said at the same time as I stepped out of the restroom.

We started laughing at the fact that we both finished at the same time.

"My lady," I said as I put my hand out for her to take.

"Kind sir," she curtsied and took my hand.

"I won't let anything happen to you, I promise," I said as I held her hand and we walked out the room.

"Good, I don't need anything to happen," she said as we walked into the living room.

"Woah, Matty boy finally going for what you want," Nash said walking out of his room.

"Huh?" I said confused.

He looked down at our hands and I didn't notice we were still hand in hand.

"Oh,"I said nervously and let go of her hand.

"Cameron thought I'd take a long time, and he's taking the longest." Sam said laughing.

"Cameron will always be the one to take longer than anyone." Nash said as he sat on the couch.

"Well we know who the girl in the house is now," I said sitting on the couch as Sam sat next to me.

"I'm ready bitches! Now where's-" Cam said but Sam interrupted him.

"Who? Sam? Oh I've been ready!" Sam said still looking down at her phone & laughed a bit.

"What the hell?" Cam said kind of shocked.

"We finished at the same time," I said laughing.

"So you're the girl in the house Cam," I laughed.

"Whatever, should we get going?" Cam asked.

"Considering that we're late now that it's 9:00," Nash said standing up.

"I have to make sure to look good for my girl, Sam." He smiled and placed his arm around Sam's shoulder.

'My girl'? Since when was Sam his girl? And why does he have his arm around her? And since when did I start getting jealous? I'm sure it's nothing, I'm just protective over her because I know what she's gone through. Well part of it, I know I don't know everything there is to know about her but I hope she can trust me enough to tell me at some point.
