Military Daughter

chapter 19

When I wake up it's dark and I feel something- or someone- underneath me. I then remember falling asleep on Matthew. Once my eyes adjust to the darkness I realize we are the only two in the room. We must have been asleep for awhile, because it seems like everyone has gone to bed because it's night time.

I shift a little and I hear Matthew start to wake up. I freeze. Is he going to get mad at me? I pretend to be asleep once I see his eyes start to open. I hope he didn't see that I was awake. I hear him whisper, "What are you doing to me, Bradley?"

My heart starts beating really fast. What does he mean by that? I think I know what he means, but this is Matthew we are talking about. The guy who has a new girl every other day. Maybe I heard him wrong? Or I just imagined him saying it.. I decide just to go back to sleep.

When I wake up I am alone on the couch. I check my phone and it's 8 in the morning. Matthew must have woken up and gone back to his room. No one seems to be awake yet.

I get up and poor me a bowl of cereal and scroll through my phone to keep me busy. I haven't checked social media in awhile and I see that not only have all the boys on tour followed me,  but thousands of other girls who seem to be a fan of them. I see that lots of girls are commenting on my previous posts. Most of them are nice but some of them are rude like 'you don't deserve to be on magcon' and 'you're not even that pretty and I bet you can't even dance.' I'm not even offended because I think it's funny how jealous they are. I respond back to the nice comments and ignore the mean ones. They just want a reaction out of me anyway, and I don't want to give them what they want.

I hear someone walking in the kitchen and I see it's Brennan. I haven't spoken to him in forever it feels like. "Hey bitch!" He says excitedly. "Let's go to the mall today. We need to get some cute clothes for meet and greets coming up."

"That sound like so much fun! Let me get dressed then we can go." I say. I head up to my room and take a quick shower, letting my hair dry in its natural curls. I put on some jean shorts and an oversized champion hoodie and black vans.

When I get back downstairs Brennan is there, and so is Matt and Nash. Just having Matthew look at me makes me flush. I wonder how he feels about us falling asleep together. He probably doesn't think anything of it. I'm just going to pretend it didn't happen. "They wanna join us because they have some shopping to do." Brennan tells me. Oh no. I always embarrass myself in front of Matthew.

"That's cool," I say nonchalantly. Even though I'm kinda freaking out. But at the same time I'm kind of glad he's coming.

We head out and take an uber. I'm not sure how but we all squeeze into one. I'm sitting in between Brennan and Matthew. His hand brushes my thigh and I immediately get goose bumps. I swear I see him smirk. This is going to be a long day...
