Arial

I turned to my side, the mattress slightly sinking under my weight. Slowly opening my eyes, I sat up and looked around, instantly annoyed with Matt's absence. I wanted him there so bad, I had to take deep breaths to keep myself from throwing a fit.

Just as my foot touched the carpet, Padge barged in smiling and yelling like a lunatic. It was damn near impossible to understand a single word he was saying.

"ARIAL, WHY ARE YOU NOT JUMPING AROUND?? HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU SO CALM???" He yelled. Instantly alarmed I sprinted to him and tried to shake some sense into him.

"Is something wrong??? What happened??" I asked about to break down. If there was something that instantly made me nervous and shaky, besides Matt, it was yelling.

Padge quickly noticed the nervous wreck I was becoming and lowered his voice.

"Sorry Ari, but it's just...look!" He shoved a small stack of papers in my face. I squinted, trying to get a better look at the small words printed on the front sheet.

"We got signed, Arial. The band got signed!"  He said sorta whisper-yelling.

My eyes became wide as I realized what this meant. I squealed and threw my arms around him, giggling excitedly.

"Oh my god Padge, seriously? That's amazing!"

"I know, I can't believe it yet!! I knew handing out our horrible demos to random people would do us good in the long run!" He said laughing and shaking me playfully.

"I'm so proud of you Padge...mom would be so proud..." I buried my face in his chest before he could see me cry.

"Hey....it's okay." He straightened my messy hair with his palm.

"Why don't you go tell Matt the news? I'll meet you both downstairs in a little bit okay? Oh and hurry, we're meeting the other lads for breakfast!" He said trotting out the room and towards the bathroom.

I silently walked across the hall to the guest room where Matt was sleeping, closing the door behind me once I was in.

I slid next to him under the covers, placing my chin on his chest and watched him sleep for a little while until his eyes fluttered open.

"Mornin'." He whispered kissing my forehead.

"So...I have some news..." I started, trying to sound serious so he would be surprised.

"Uh oh..." He said rubbing his eyes and sitting up.

"Okay..so Padge told me something this morning..."

"You're not leaving are you?!" His facial expression turned from sleepy to complete panic, which made me melt on the inside.

"Of course not babe.." I wrapped my arms around him and nuzzled his neck.

He ran his long fingers down my spine and back up repeatedly, and anything i was about to say escaped my mind.

After a while he gently pulled my arms from around his neck.

"What were you gonna say love?" He murmured.

"Oh yeah, Matt...you guys got signed."

"Who got signed for what?"
