Matt Vs Josh.

Chapter Seven - Finders Keepers.

Josh spoke first, grabbing my right hand and stroking my fringe to the side to reveal the gash on my head. He tried not to squeal in displeasure but i could tell it wasn't looking good, that's when i felt Matt's hand silently meet my left hand under the covers without josh seeing.

"I'm so sorry Ella, its all my fault." from the look in his eyes i knew he truly believed that. How could it be his fault? What could he have possibly done?

"No josh, it's my fault for ever trusting that  poisonous bitch." The last word rolling off my tongue with an anger i never knew existed. Matt's hand gripping mine ever tightly just letting me know he was still here without josh being the wiser. Why did he feel the need to show his affections to me privately? Was he scared what josh would think? What he would say if he knew we had kissed?

"No Ella, when i got home last night i was looking at the picture on twitter of us kissing and the first comment that was on it was from a user-name i recognised. One that all ways tweeted me. I thought nothing of the message or the girl because i assumed she was just mad i was seeing someone. The message said;

'I WILL KILL HER'

and it was from 'MrsJazmineFrancheschi' i mean, i had no idea! This crazy bitch always tweets me about her and her loser friend!" Just then josh stopped and realised that the loser friend was me. He leaned forward, wrapping his arms around me and closing his eyes. My hand never leaving Matt's nor my eyes ever leaving his gaze. I was so torn right now. Who did i want? I know its awful to regard them both as objects that i can pick and chose at, but i was running out of options. Then max popped his head around the door frame again.

"Matty! Can't find your fifa disc, it's not it in the box. Also.. do you have any chocolate spread?" Matt's hand left mine and he got up shaking his head at max. I watched him leave the room, leaving me in the arms of a distraught Josh. Just as Matt had got to the bottom of the stairs josh brought his face up to meet mine and began to plant tiny kisses along my injury's, several on each. 

"I promise Ella, i wont let you get hurt again, I promise." Not knowing the perfect words to say i leaned forward and his lips met mine in a quick passionate kiss. Josh pulled away, getting up and straightening his shirt.

"Coming down for a game of fifa?" the thought of the football based game didn't interest me right now.

"I think I'm going to stay up here for a while and rest, if you don't mind?" i managed to crack a small smile and josh bent down and planted a kiss on my forehead before leaving the room. I layed back down thinking about both of them. Typical, a boy kisses me and i cant stop thinking about the whole speech's even after almost being killed by a crazed psychopath. A small smile crept across my face as i began to fall asleep again.

My eyes slowly opened to meet his, staring back at me. How long had he be there like that? He lent in with his eyes closed and i met him with my lips, our tongues working back and fourth in synchronicity. The kiss ended me gasping for breath and him smiling into the darkness. 

"I could get used to this."

"What? Having a strange girl in bed next to you?"

"Nope having you next to me." 

"Mathew Bar-" his lips silenced me again with a quick kiss on the mouth. Where was josh ? Knowing what was on my mind Matt uttered;

"He just went home to grab some clothes for the party at max's tonight." i had completely forgotten about the party at Max's! And i bet i looked a mess. Then that's when it hit me. In my running from jazz i hadn't closed the doors or anything, i began to jump up in a blind panic.
