The Rules My Brothers Made

Chapter 21

“You want to explain what just happened?”

Matt asked as I started to walk away from him and Kate.

“Not really.”

I said nonchalantly as I got in line for cotton candy.

“Should I get blue or pink?”

“Pink.”

Kate answered.

“But only if you tell us what just happened with Evan.

What did you guys talk about?”

“Come on, Meg.

There was some heat in that last exchange.”

Matt pried.

“Fine.”

I turned to face them.

“He claims he doesn’t think he slept with Alison, and wants me to forgive whatever he did do, and get back together with him.

But I know what I saw, and I don’t think that being naked in bed with your ex could possibly be an innocent situation.”

“So what was that last thing he said to you?”

Kate questioned.

“I mean, there was some major intensity in his eyes.”

I shrugged.

“He says he’s going to win me back, that he loves me too much to just give up.”

“Aww!

That’s adorable!”

Kate cooed.

“I bet he does something really romantic.

Don’t you think that’s something he would do, Matt?”

“I don’t know, Kate. “

“Well, you guys talk all the time, he must say something.”

Matt shot her a look and she instantly silenced herself.

“Um, what?”

I asked.

“You talk to him all the time?”

Matt kicked at the ground.

“No.”

“Matt.”

He sighed.

“Okay, fine.

We’ve been talking over the past few days.

I just felt bad for him cause he was so upset about what happened.”

“So was I!”

I yelled at him.

“I was the one who was hurt here, Matt!

How could you turn on me too?”

“I didn’t turn on you.

I’m trying to help you.

I really think he’s innocent, Meg.

He loves you so much it’s nauseating.”

“I agree with that.” Kate pointed out, but was quiet when I glared at her.

“Seriously, Meghan, I think Ali set him up.”

Matt continued.

“It just doesn’t make sense.

Think about it.
