"Come over." Rory pleaded. "Please, I'm so bored."

"I can't, I'm making videos. Later, okay?" Seth replied. She rolled her eyes and hung up on him. Whatever, if he wasn't gonna come over then she'd invite someone else.

She pressed the phone button and held the phone up to her ear, looking aimlessly at the ceiling. "Hello?"

"Hey, Matt. I was wondering if you wanted to come over and just like watch movies or something." Aurora asked, hoping he would say yes and cure her boredom.

"When?"

"Now. Or whenever is free for you, I guess." She sat up and was biting her acrylic nails, tapping them against her teeth waiting for his response.

"Yeah, I'll come. Let me take a shower first and then I'll be there. See ya." He hung up the phone.

She sighed in relief. Matt was the next best thing to Seth.

"Dude, where the hell are you going?" Seth questioned Matt, stopping his work to talk to him.

"Your girlfriend's house."

"What the hell?" Seth stood up. "Don't go over. Matt, if you go over.."

"Well sorry I have to hang out with her because you don't put off your work to hang out with her. And don't even make me bring up the cheating."

"What cheating? I never cheated on her, dumbass."

"Yes you did. Nick and Davis told me. Kissing some bitch at the club on your birthday."

"I did, but Rory doesn't know about it." Seth ran fingers through his ginger hair. He needed a haircut.

"You really think so, Seth?"

"Yeah, how would she find out anyways, last time I did was at Burbank when she left with Hector and Ian and Davis."

Matt looked taken aback, like Seth hit him. "I don't know, maybe the DMs she saw between you and Lorah in Burbank. Or was it your drunk tweet at four in the morning?" Matt pretended to look deep in thought. "She didn't tell you because she loves you and she doesn't want to leave you but I guess you give her no choice. Can't wait to tell her when I go over."

"Matt!" Seth called after him as he walked across the room, going to the stairs. "Don't fucking tell her."

Matt stopped and looked at Seth. "Too late to plead, I think."

"Hey!" Aurora welcomed Matt into her house. "What did you have to tell me?"

"I think we should go up to your room for this, okay?" Matt said, and she nodded in confusion. She led him up the steps and he shut the door behind him when they both stopped in her room. "Sit."

"What is it?" She looked at him, and his facial expression told of bad news. "It's not about Seth, is it?"

"Rory, I don't want to be the one to tell you, but  he cheated on you again." He sighed, before continuing. "In Burbank. After you left."

"How'd you find out?" She sat in disbelief, looking at his hands resting on his lap.

"We got in a fight before I came here. I'm sorry,  Rory, you deserve so much better, love." She tried to stop the tears but they flew out anyways and she buried her head into Matt's neck, moving closer to hug him. He petted her hair and kissed her head, whispering things in her ear to calm her down.

He would get Seth back for hurting her. He would get him back bad.
