game of a player-c.d

21.

cameron
she's playing it like that. why does she go to matts house and not mine? why does it annoy me that she does?

she's mine, not matt's.

rosie
i get to matts house and knock on the front door. after a few seconds the door opens to mrs espinosa.

"hey rosie." he says with a friendly smile.
"hello. is matt he-"
"rosie! oh my god, please come help." he says pushing past his mom.

he grabbed my arm and pulled me into his house.
"i'll see you later laura!" i shout as i was being dragged up the stairs.

i laugh as he shuts the door.
"calm down."
"no! i have to sing?!" he shouts.
"come on matt, it's not that bad."
he stares at me,"come on matt, it's not the bad." he mimics,"it is fucking bad!"
"why don't you ask if you don't have to sing?" i ask.

he dropped his paper on the floor, moved closer and once again stared at me,"was that a joke?"
"no?"
"are you fucking with me?"
"no?"
"do you take me as a stupid person?"
"welll.."
"wait what did you say again?" he questions me
"why don't you ask if you don't have to si-"
he interrupted me,"you think i haven't done that? i almost threatened the guy!"
"you almost threatened mr hall?" i ask in shock.
"not the point, help me!" he sighs.
"show me your songs."

this is gonna be one long night.

*few hours later*
"see, in no time you're going to be a pro!" i say after clapping.

i was shook since matt was actually really good at singing, he seriously had nothing to worry about.

"why thank you."
"so can i go home now?" i ask after checking the time, it was 11:47.
"sure, want me to drive you?" he asks.
"yes please." i sigh before getting up and rubbing my eyes.
"whats the time?" he asks.
"11:57"
"oh shit, i'm sorry for making you stay for so long!" he apologises.
"no it's fine i'll do anything to help my best friend." i say wrapping my arm around his shoulder.
"same for you." he says as we walk out of his room.

there was a silence in the car as he drove me home.
"hey, can i ask you something?" i ask.
"sure."
"so cameron's been avoiding me recently, do you know why?" i ask in hesitation.
"no, i don't th- oh."
"what?" i ask getting out of my slump.
"i think i do know." he says pulling an oh fuck face.
"stop the car, pull over!" i say, eager to hear why he has been.
"but rosie its lat-"
"pull over."

he nods as he parks onto the curb.
"so?" i ask.
"do i have to tell you?" he says.
"matt just tell me!"
"ugh okay so.." he starts,"the other weekend cameron and i were hanging out when you texted him. and some words came out of my mouth and some other words came out of his mouth and he knows you have feelings for him and he didn't want that."

he lost me at 'some words came out of my mouth'
"what's that supposed to mean?" i ask.
"look i'm sorry but i kinda told cameron you had major feelings for him."

i stare at him dumbfounded and rub my forehead.
"matt you promised not to tell anyone, let alone cameron!" i sighed.
"i'm sorry, the words just came out! i didn't mean to!"
"i'll just walk home." i say taking my seatbelt off.
"no rosie, i'm sorry! please don't walk, it's scary out there." he says trying to pull me back in.
"night matt." i say before closing the door.

he puts the window down,"rosie get back in."
"no it's fine, i'll walk."
"it's cold, i don't want you to get sick." he says slowly driving along with me.
"i'm fine seriously plus your mom might get worried so you can go home." i sigh as i walk quicker.
"night, i love you." he shouts as i walk away.
"you too."

my eyes wander up to cameron's window, the light was off. he was asleep, probably worrying about how i'm gonna ruin his love life.

i sigh before walking into my driveway.
"where have you been?" i heard someone shout.

once again, that someone wasn't just anyone. it was cameron.

ah shit.
