Jamie’s P.O.V
Jamie awoke with a start, feeling constricted by two sets of arms that were smothering her in heat. She looked to her left and saw Matt’s face stained with tear tracks that reached down his neck, her heart broke at the site unknowing that she was the cause of his tears.
She shakily reach a hand out to his face and slowly traced the trails that had been left on his face, feeling her own heart clench. She softly trailed her fingers over his face as she felt his eyelids flutter underneath her finger and she looked up to see his blood shot eyes looking down at her. She smiled shyly at him before removing her hand from his face and tucking it into her chest.
“W-What happened last night Matty?” she asked shakily looking out from the bed to see her room was a mess, there were pillows thrown everywhere and blankets, her books seemed to have also made their way half way across the room.
Seeing the sight of her room scared her a little bit, she had no re-collection of what had happened after they had gotten home from practice. All she knew was that she’d ended up in her bed with pyjamas on, hair out and Matt and Peyton on either side of her. The only two people in the world that could ever calm her down whenever she used to have panic attacks...
“Jamie... Jamie” Matt said shaking her out of her thoughts, she looked at him with wide eye’s looking at him questioningly. “Y-You really scared us last night Jay, you started to scream after I put you to bed, and I couldn’t console you so Pey had to come and help.
It took you a-a while but you finally settled down... You scared me so much Jay, please just tell me what’s wrong Jay please” he looked up at her with begging eyes and she felt the tears start to pool again as she wrapped her petite arms around Matt’s waist trying to hold in her tears.
Peyton’s P.O.V
Peyton was woken by the sound of crying. She could only guess that it was Jamie. She allowed her eyes to flutter open after taking a deep breath and trying to prepare herself for whatever sight she saw. She met Matt’s gaze and moved closer to the two and enveloped them both in a tight, firm hug. She softly kissed the top of Jamie’s head before trying to calm her sister down.
“What happened?” she silently mouthed to Matt who had a strained appearance on his face. “She asked what happened last night” Matt mouthed back before blinking back a couple of tears that were trying to escape from his eyes.
She reached a hand out to grasp Matt’s and gave it a comforting squeeze as she tried her hardest to be strong for all three of them. She heard Jamie’s breathing start to pick up again and she slowly untangled her arms from the two of them and ran to get a bath ready. Sometimes they were the best thing for stress, especially in Jamie’s case.
Once she had the bath running she walked back in the room to see Matt trying to reach Jamie who had pushed herself against her wall. “Jay..” she started “Come have a bath okay..You can relax for a little bit okay?” Jamie looked at her before nodding slowly as Peyton reached out to her and bought her to the bathroom.
She left Jamie in there by herself not wanting to intrude on her privacy and went to were Matt had sunk to the floor with his head in between his knees. She walked over to him and bought the broken boy into her arms. “Matty ...shh. It’s all going to be okay. Jamie will be fine”
Matts P.O.V
As soon as he felt Peyton’s arms around him, he felt himself break. His sob’s racked through is body and each breath he took hurt. He didn’t know what to do, he didn’t know how to help Jamie and he didn’t know how to stay strong. He didn’t know how Peyton could do it, how she could be strong for all three of them. He just didn’t know what to do.
“W-What do we do Peyton.. She had no idea what had happened last night? I don’t know what to say to her and what to say her Dad.... What do we tell her Dad Pey” Matt asked sinking into the girl’s chest feeling more comfort than he had before.
“S-She wants to go home Pey.... How do we tell her she is home, and what does she even mean by that?” Matt let out another angry breath as he tried to calm himself down for the benefit of Peyton. “Matt, let’s go have something to eat while we wait for Jamie to be done?” Matt could of married Peyton when she suggested that.
He picked himself up and blinked back the last of the tears as he felt Peyton’s hand softly wiping his tear’s away, before watching her lean up and kiss him on the forehead. “It’ll all be okay Matt, you’ll see” and he did see, whenever Peyton said something it always seemed to happen. The two made their way to the kitchen were sure the rest of the gang was eating breakfast.
