i walked downstairs
"i'm sorry guys," i said as i sat next to Molly and she hugged me
"what happened?" she asked and i showed her the message
her eyes went wide, she looked like she was trying not to smile
"okay i'm fine" i said clearing my throat
"yo it's raining so hard outside" Taylor said from the window
i shrugged, "i love rain"
"okay i didn't ask" Taylor said and i laughed and flipped him off
he always knows how to cheer me up, they all do
"do not flip me off" he said as he throws a couch pillow at me
i ducked and it hit Cameron
"what the hell" he said and i pointed at Taylor
Taylor shook his head and i laughed at his face
Cameron picked the pillow up and was about to throw it at Taylor when at the last minute he threw it at me
"DALLAS" I yelled, "you're on my team" and he laughed
i picked the pillow and threw it at him, well attempted to but i missed
"NASHY COME HELP ME" I yelled but Nash was too busy recording
Cameron came charging at me and i didn't have anywhere to run
"gotcha" he said and i squealed, "put me downn" i whined
"cameronnnn" i whined and slapped his butt
"scratch that, i like the view from up here" i said slapping his butt again, Nash was dying
"hey Sarah, someone's at the door for you" Taylor said not looking me in the eyes
Cameron put me down and i smoothed my shirt
I walked toward the door but stopped in my tracks
it was a soaking Matt, literally soaking
"what are you doing here?" i breathed
"i need to talk to you" he said and i shook my head scoffing
"what part of leave me alone do you not understand"
"i need to talk to you. you don't have to say anything just listen." he said, "i need to say this"
i crossed my arms and stared at him
he looked behind me at everyone and cleared his throat
"you have 2 minutes" i said and he just nodded
"i'm here now" he said and i stopped him
"what does that mean?" i asked
"It means you have a choice. You have a choice to make. And I don't want to rush you into making the decision before you're ready. i texted you to see your reaction and to make this situation a bit less awkward but there is no way i can make it less awkward. there is no way i can explain how i feel without making it awkward
i wanted to say so many things to you, before this moment right now but now all I can say is that... I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you forever. I'm a little late, I know I'm a little late in telling you that. I, I just, I just want you to take your time, you know. Take all the time you need, because you have a choice to make. And when I had a choice to make, I chose wrong." My heart was racing, i looked at him teary-eyed
"Goodnight" he said as he walked out the door into the rain
"wait" i called as i ran after him,
