        On the beach. With some girl wearing a bandana. I was the girl, I think. We were swimming. Matt and I, with the Jacks. Shawn was standing behind us, and he was mad. Then Elizabeth came, and Nash pushed her into the water. Shawn was yelling at me . It was all happening too fast and I had no idea what it meant. Why was only Matt with me? What was so wrong with Elizabeth? What was going on?

        "-such an idiot gosh you suck at getting girls. Why do you always end up pushing them down." The voice sounded familiar. But I didn't know where it was. Suddenly I popped my eyes open to seeing two guys leaning over me. I was in a small room. It had brooms and buckets and mops. There was a single light bulb lit, which was hanging from the ceiling. The room reeked of bleach.

        "Well good thing you didn't kill her. The goal was to force her to listen. Not blackout." The voice said again. Who was it. There was two faces. I could barely make them out. But I still didn't know who had spoken. I suddenly felt my back go cold. I was freezing. I shuddered and felt a hand on my knee. Now I was sitting against a wall with my knees tucked under my chin. In a rush I felt, remembered, and saw everything. I looked up to see Matt sitting on a folding chair, and he was the one with his hand on my knee.

           Next to him sitting on the floor was Aaron. Ah, that was who was speaking earlier. He had such a smooth voice. He was pretty hot too. His hair was pushed to the side perfectly. His lips were full, and looked smooth as ice. I licked my lips and turned away looking at Matt.

        "Jesus Mykenna. You're so clumsy. Good thing you're so pretty, because brains, you're lacking in a little." Matt chuckled and sat down on the cold floor next to me. "I'm sorry if I startled you. I just needed you to listen to me." He said rubbing his hand back and forth on my knee. What? Was he like apologizing? Wow. Wait. Aaron. What was he doing in here?

        "What the hell do you have to do with this Aaron?" I shot at him pointing my finger.

        "Oh, me? Well, Matt looked pretty upset when I walked in the room. He wouldn't tell me but I knew it was you. So we ran down here, and well tried to get the opportunity to explain, er, for him to explain himself. That's my purpose in this darling. It's called Matt doesn't have a backbone." He gently said giving me full eye contact.

        "Mykenna, I'm sorry for how I acted. Yeah, I was a jerk to you. But you know me, I would never say such a thing. It wasn't what I meant to say at all. I would never be embarrassed by you, and you know it." Matt spoke clearly and slowly, lifting my chin towards him gently.

        "Yeah, you're totally hot girl!" Aaron shouted winking at me.

         "Oh shut up Aaron, just leave already. Thanks for knocking out the girl I like." Matt quickly stood up and pushed him out the door, and closed it. I leaped up and grabbed for the door, planning on leaving this whole mess behind and just go home already. Matt jumped up with me and laced his arms around me from behind, and lifted me so that my feet did not touch the ground.

        "No, please Mykenna! Please I'm sorry! What can I do to prove it was an accident? I don't ever act like that! I would never treat you like that. I just got caught up in the moment, I apologize." Matt finished as he gently set me down, but kept a firm grip on my arm while turning me to face him. He looked deep in my eyes and I could see the pain in them. He really was sorry. Maybe he just freaked out. I would of too if I was famous like him. There was no need for me to burst out of there. He started rambling something off but I quickly shut him up with a peck on the cheek.

        He looked down at me and smiled a devious smile. He put his hand on the small of my back and pushed me into him. I laughed at the impact and looked up into his gorgeous, dark eyes. I laced my arms around his neck and he moved his hands onto my sides, as he brought me even closer. Matt wasn't very tall, but he was still at least three inches taller than me.

        "Matthew don't be stupid. Just kiss me." I blurted out, and in that exact second I felt his lips crash against mine. Okay, so this was amazing. Way better than the few times I had kissed Cam. It was tied to when I kissed Shawn. No, no Mykenna stop thinking about them right now. I brought my eyes to a close and leaned deeper into the kiss. I felt Matt's ice cold lips slowly lift off and on again to my lips. This couldn't get any better. It felt like there was a soft humming in my throat and I liked it. Matt pulled away too soon. He looked at me and winked.

        "We better go, everyone will definitely think I'm getting some in this storage closet!" He joked as I opened the door, pulling his hand after me. I looked both ways before dragging him out. We ran towards the lobby, giggling like we were in elementary school. We rounded the corner to find the boys waiting there. They must of known something was going down.

        All of the sudden I heard a small "Go Matt!" From the back of the tiny crowd and soon everyone was winking at us and giving Matt high fives. This was mortifying but hey, these boys made anything fun. We all laughed, some of us turning our own ways. We all had to get ready for the event today. I glanced at a hallway clock and saw we had only an hour before we had to leave. I released Matt's hand and ran for my room. Today, I would fix my life.
