Lexis POV

I woke up and looked at the time it was 1 in the afternoon

I picked up Matts hand cause it was around me and I went to the door. Right as I grabbed the door nob I heard "Where are you going?"

It was Matt

"I'm going back to my room"

"Can I come?"

I thought about it, I smiled and nodded my head yes.

We walked out to the hall and to my room.

He sat on my bed and I went to the bathroom

Once I came out I see Matt looking at a picture. I walked up behind him and saw the picture was of me and my mom. I smiled.

"Is this your mom?" He asked

"Yeah" I was crying a little.

"Oh ah sorry I didn't mean to make you cry." He said now looking at me

"Oh no it's not your fault it's just hard to think about her you know?"

"Can I ask what happened?" He said

"5 years ago she past away from cancer."

Matt sat me on the bed and sat next to me.

He put his arms around me. "Sorry about bringing it up Lexi"

"No you didn't know it's fine"

We were sitting there for a little bit until all the boys came bursting into the door.

Matt let me go quick I think he was hiding it from Cam.

"Hey Lexi sorry about the prank it was Taylors idea" Nash said

I just smiled and looked at Matt

"Hey what we're you two doing in here?" Cam asked "and why does it look like you've been crying? And why are you wearing Matts shirt?"

"Oh ah Matt asked about my mom cause he saw the picture, he didn't know I was going to tear up, so it's fine he didnt know, and im wearing his shirt cause you dummies stole my cloths"

"Okay but Matt stay away from my sister" Cam said

"Cameron it's fine"

"No Lexi they may be me friend but they could hurt you" he said

"Cam just stop" I was kinda mad

"Lexi I don't want you to get hurt" Cam seemed mad to

"Why do you even care? We only met 2 days ago."

"Because I'm your brother" he yelled

"No your not your just my dad's girlfriends son, your not my brother so stop acting like it" We were yelling at eachother now.

I ran out of the room and outside.
