I was glad when I saw Jimmy drive up.
I met him at the door, he looked pretty messed up.
I left as he went upstairs to see Lilah.
I was happy knowing that they would be fine.
I drove home and as soon as I walked in the door my dad pounced.
"Where have you been?" he demanded.
"I've been at Lilah's dad, where else would I be?"
"Well we're going out tonight and I expect you too look after your brother and sister. "
My sister was almost 15, I was pretty sure she could look after herself.
"Of course." I smiled at him "I wasn't doing anything anyway."
That seemed to placate him for the time being.
I went upstairs and had a shower and got changed.
Then I sat on my bed....and I worried....about Matt.
He and Brian had been friends for so long and I didn't want them to fight, but that worried me too, what if Matt decided I wasn't worth it? What if he didn't come over tonight? What was I going to do?
I layed on the bed worrying while listening to mom and dad get ready.
"Is Matt coming over?" Stacey asked quietly coming into my room.
I wanted to say yes, but what if he didn't show up!
"Maybe. " I shrugged.
"Awww I thought you two were in lurrrrve" she giggled and walked out.
Arghhh I needed to stop thinking.
"Are you going to put on your pyjamas? " Dad asked standing in the door.
Was he serious?
So I changed into my pyjamas just to keep him happy, I guess in his mind if I was in my pyjamas I wasn't going to sneak out.
I went downstairs to say goodbye and mom gave me a look that said I'm sorry.
Finally they left and I went to the kitchen to sort out something to eat.
But I was really thinking about Matt.
I now had convinced myself he wasn't coming, and as time ticked by I knew it was true.
Suddenly i heard Stacey running down the stairs.
"Lover boy is here." she laughed running into the kitchen "and your're in your pyjamas. "
She burst out laughing.
"Shutup." I told her.
There was a knock at the door and I tried not to rush to answer it.
I opened the door, and there he was, smiling.
The first thing I noticed was his eye.
"Oh god Matt." I said reaching up to touch his face.
"It's ok. " he smiled.
He took my hand and pulled me into his arm's.
"Nice pyjamas. " he whispered.
I felt myself blushing.
"Don't be embarrassed. " he said kissing me "I like them."
Just then Josh came running down the stairs.
"Matt hey Matt can you help get through a stage?" he asked.
"Sure." Matt said raising his eyebrows at me.
I watched them walk up the stairs and I went and layed on the lounge and watched some t. v.
At least he was here.
