Chapter 12

*Emily's POV*

I woke up with another pair of arms around me. I immediately realized they were Matt's, and the events of last night came flooding back to me.

I sat up and tried to pull his arms off me without waking him up. Thankfully, I had given him lots of drugs last night that would knock him out, so he still slept like a baby.

I yawned and padded down the steps headed for the kitchen. Eva was sitting on a stool in her PJ's, her legs crossed under her indian style.

"Whatcha up to?" I asked and looked over her shoulder at the laptop she was working on.

"Research for work stuff. You wouldn't be interested." She said. I made my way over to the cabinet and pulled out the box of strawberry frosted pop tarts.

"What time did you guys get in last night?" I asked and popped one in the toaster.

"Hey, put one in for me. And like 11:30. You and Matt were already asleep. Also, I took lots of cute pics of you guys sleeping together if you want to put one on insta later," She said.

"Yeah... Him and Nick got in a huge fight last night so he stayed the night," I explained.

"A fight?! With punching?!" Eva asked. I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, Eva, there was lots of punching." I said and the pop tarts popped out of the toaster. I grabbed them and sat on the stool next to Eva and explained what happened, from Nick fucking another girl, to Matt and my date, to the fight. She just gave me a serious look.

"So I guess we won't be hearing from Nick anytime soon then," She said after I was done and went back to typing on her laptop.

"I'm not sure... Bailey can still be friends with him, I just don't really want to see him a lot."

"That's fine, I get it. Bailey probably won't want to be friends with him."

"True, true."

"Is Matt ok?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well you said Matt was pretty hurt, have you talked to him? Asked how he was feeling?"

"He was still asleep."

"Oh. Well bring him some juice and pop tarts and go check on him," Eva said. I obeyed and put 3 pop tarts in the toaster while I made 2 glasses of orange juice. I put them all on a little tray and headed back upstairs.

I put the tray on my night stand and climbed back into bed to wake Matt up. I gently shook him, and soon his eyes fluttered open.

"Good morning, beautiful," He said in a deep, groggy, morning voice.

"Morning. I brought you breakfast. Sorta." I said and giggled. His eyes widened at the food and he smiled. He immediately sat up and winced hard.

"What? What is it?" I asked when I saw him expression.

"Nothing, just my ribs. It's a bit hard to breath, but I'm fine." He said. I ignored him and ripped the covers off so I could see his bare chest.

"Oh my god, Matt!" I said and gasped. The entire left side of his chest was covered in purple, blue, and black bruises.

"We're going to the hospital." I said and got out of bed.

"What?! No!" He said and winced.

"You're not arguing with me. I'll be back, I'll grab you some of Bailey's clothes to wear." I said and left the room. I went into Eva's room, which contrary to mine is completely clean and organized. I went into her closet, and into the drawer where Bailey leaves his clothes for when he spends the night. I grabbed a Varsity Basketball tee shirt and a pair of black sweatpants with my old school logo on it. I walked back into my room and tossed the clothes to Matt.
