Who Are You? - A Matthew Espinosa Fanfiction

Chapter 4

ALLISON'S POV

        "Do you want the bed or the couch?" I asked, growing more impatient with Matthew each second I had to be around him.

        "What?" he asks, not looking up from his phone.

      "What do you mean what? It's a simple question with two possible answers. But I'll ask it one more time and I'll even slow it down a little so that hopefully it'll get through that thick skull of yours. Do. You. Want. The. Bed. Or. The. Couch."

        I knew I sounded like a bitch, but he pissed me off first. I was nice to him at the meet and greet, but he was a total jerk. He wasn't even paying attention when I was attempting to talk to him and figure out our sleeping arrangements. I had half a mind to pack up all of my belongings and fly back to Iowa. I knew the Jacks were confused and a little shocked at my change in attitude, but I decided to just explain it to them later. Matthew finally looked up from his phone and glared at me.

        "I was about to beat my high score on Flappy Bird, but because YOU can't shut your mouth for 10 seconds, I lost. What do mean do I want the couch or the bed. Ever heard of sharing?"

        I couldn't believe him. He honestly thought I was going to share a bed with him? I could hardly stand being in the same ROOM as him!

        "There is no way I'm sharing a bed with you. So since you aren't making a decision and obviously don't want to talk to me, I'll take the couch and you and your enormous ego can try to fit on the same bed. But I don't even think that there's a bed big enough for just your ego."

        I walked over to where the couch was and threw my luggage down next to it. I pulled out my phone and texted CK (My nickname for Claire)

        Als: OMFG! I'M GOING TO DIE ON THIS TOUR! OR END UP KILLING MATTHEW!

        CK: Are you two seriously fighting already?

        Als: I swear it wasn't my fault! Wanna go get some food somewhere and chill?

        CK: Sure. It's not like my room is that much better.

        Als: Can I invite the Jacks? I feel like they think I'm crazy so I kinda need to explain the whole situation to them...

        CK: As long as I can invite the guys in my room because they're currently seeing the shy side of me and I need you to break me out of my shell!

        Als: kk. Meet me in the lobby in 10.

        I walked back over to where the beds were and found the Jacks laying around trying to find something to watch on tv.

        JaJo looked up at me. "What up, Als? I'm boreddddddd!"

        Jack G looked up at me too. "We're bored and there's nothing to do!"

        "Well...CK and I were going to go get some food and we were wondering if you two wanted to come with."

        "CK?" Gilinsky questioned.

        "Sorry, CK is my nickname for Claire."

        Soon the boys shot off the bed and ran out the door. I stood there, shocked and confused. Suddenly, JaJo popped his head back in the doorway.

        "Well are we going or what?" he said with a smile.

CLAIRE'S POV

        I asked Nash, Cameron, and Shawn if they wanted to come get food and surprisingly they said yes and actually seemed excited for it. The four of us were waiting in the lobby for Als and Jack and Jack. They came down and Als ran and gave me a huge hug.

        "Oh. My. God. I missed you so much." Allison said as she pulled away, smiling.

        "It's been two hours! You couldn't have missed me that much!" I giggled.

        JJ looked at me. "Oh no. She missed you. She's been absolutely pissed for the last two hours and suddenly she sees you and she's all happy."

        I glanced down at Allison. "Seriously? What happened now? Are you PMSing?"

        "I swear, it wasn't my fault! And no I'm not PMSing! Why the heck would you even ask that?! I just didn't want to have to share a bed with stupid Espinosa so I asked him if he wanted the bed or the couch and he ignored me! So I asked him again and then he like bit my head off because he said my talking caused him to not beat his high score in Flappy Bird! So guess who chose to be the bigger person and is now stuck sleeping on the couch? ME! Ugh!"

        I laughed. This was typical Allison. She got mad and knew that she was right, but then she'd end up worse off because she just wanted a solution to the problem. Even if the solution involved her sleeping on a couch. All the boys were staring at us waiting for an explanation about what Als was all upset about, so I explained what happened at the meet greet.

        Cameron and Nash looked surprised and tried to tell us that Matthew isn't like that.

        Als was sassy by nature and so of course she had a retort to their excuses. "He isn't like that? Really? Then what happened at the meet and greet, huh? Did his evil twin decide to make an appearance?" she said with a smirk to let them know she was kidding.

        Jack and Jack looked at each other and said "That makes so much more sense now" at the exact same time. After standing around talking with Als and the boys for about 10 minutes, I began feeling more like the normal CK again. Maybe this tour won't be so bad...at least for me.
