"IS IT TO LATE NOW TO SAY SORRY " I sang.

"BECAUSE IM MISSING MORE THAN JUST YOUR BODY!" Someone else sang, walking in the kitchen. I turned around to see Taylor, staring at me while biting his lip "Nope, I think its only your body that I miss" I laughed and put the spoon down, walking to the fridge.

"Taylor, you never had her body so you can't miss it." Carter said, walking over with a smirk on his face.

"Only I can miss it" Matt winked, hugging me. I blushed, looking down at my glass of orange juice.

"I'm the only one that's actually seen her body" Nash laughed, grabbing an apple and sitting beside Carter. Matt scoffed and let go, sitting on the other side of Carter. I jumped up on the counter, and looked at the boys.

"You guys are perverts why do I hang out with you guys?" Taylor held his chest, making a pouty face, "My heart, it hurts" I rolled my eyes, and laughed. Jack J walked in with Jack G, talking about something. Once they saw me, they shut up and turned the other way. I frowned, and looked at Matt. He shrugged, taking Carter's beanie and putting it on. Cameron walked in, with no shirt and his hair a mess. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. I couldn't take my eyes off his chest. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Someone cleared their throat, and I blinked, once, twice. I looked over at Taylor who was smirking at me. I looked back at Cameron, who was rubbing his eyes.

"G-good morning" I stuttered, gripping my cup. He opened his eyes wide, and looked at everyone.

"Jesus Christ its 5 in the morning I didn't think anyone was awake"

"Yeah well we are, so put a shirt on." Matt snapped, rolling his eyes and walking out the side door. I opened my mouth to say something, but once again nothing came out.

"He's not a morning person" Carter muttered, and I ran out the side door after Matt.

"Matt! Matt!" I yelled, running over to him. "What is your problem?!"

"My problem?" He yelled, looking at me "that guy is a freak! He's probably only talking to the boys to get with you!" I stopped walking, and stood in my spot.

"He doesn't even like me like that, Matt! And why do you care? You don't get mad when Taylor walks around shirtless!"

"You don't gawk over Taylor like you just did Cameron!"

"Why do you care who I gawk over?!"

"Because I want you to gawk over me! I want you to want me the way I want you!" He yelled, kicking the dirt. He huffed, and walked over to me. I stood there frozen, looking at him with my mouth open. Wait, Matt likes me? I've waited forever to hear those words from him, but yet hearing them now, it makes me happy, but it doesn't give me the feeling I thought I would get. "Juliet I like you, a lot. I always have." He grabbed my hands, and looked at me.

"I-i like you too, Matt." I smiled, "oh my god! My crush likes me back!" I cheered, Matt laughed, and bit his lip.

"Would you maybe want to go to homecoming with me. Friday?" He asked, scratching the back of his neck. A wide smile spread across my face as I nodded eagerly.

"Yes! Yes of course!" I smiled, and huged him. He hugged me back, whispering ''thank god" in my ear. I looked over at the window, and my smile fell. Standing there, in a shirt, looking out the window at me and Matt, was Cameron. Suddenly, I knew why I didn't feel like I thought I would. I didn't like Matt as much as I like Cameron.

At that moment, I knew that nothing would be perfect again.
