Kole's POV

“No Matt, I'm not going to some stupid family dinner you're having." I say while sitting next to him and putting the bowl of popcorn in his hands.

“Oh c'mon Kole. Think about it, you go. They'll be pissed, they'll never invite me to another dinner again, everyone wins?"

“Um, how do I win?"

“Less nights of you hanging out alone." He smiles.

“You do realize that Zack used to be my only friend. I can survive without you."

“Kole please!"

“Your brothers and sisters will be there." I tell him taking the iPad out his hands and clicking Netflix. “You'll be fine."

“If you go, I'll go to your next Support Group meeting." 

“No, I don't want you to go."

“Why not? And what do you go there fore anyway?"

“Exactly why I don't want you to go."

Although both Matt and I have developed a good bond and relationship, it isn't exactly the strongest or the closest. He doesn't know everything about me, I don't know everything about him.

“You can tell me." He says nudging me.

“But I choose not to."

“Fine. But I still want you to come."

“How bout, no."

“I'm sorry, I can't accept that offer. How about you go with me, then I'll take you out to eat the next day."

“To where?"

“Anywhere you want."

I smile while typing the name “American Horror Story" into the iPad. “Hmm, sounds tempting."

“You should just take it." He advises. “I don't take a lot of people out."

“Are you telling me this is a once in a life time chance for me."

“Maybe." He shrugs. “I wouldn't risk it."

“Deal."

I wake up and look around, it takes me a moment. I'm not in my bed. I remember falling asleep on Mathew's couch. Fuck!

I stand up really quickly, an  open up the door.

“Matthew!" I yell frantically.

He jumps up from the couch, and sleepily looks at me. “You alright?"

“I need you to take me home. Right now." I panic.

“You don't have to go anywhere today-"

“Please take me home Matt!" I panic.

“Well, okay." He slowly nods.

He slowly grabs his shoes.

“Matt I'm sorry, you're going to have to go faster than that."

“What are you freaking out for?"

“It doesn't matter, just please, get me home as fast as possible!"

“Kay thanks bye." I rush getting out the car.

“Woah wait. I'm not leavening yet." He says getting out the car. “I want to know what's wrong."

“Nothing, nothing, just go." I say trying to open the door.

“Kole, you're shaking so bad you can't even open the door." He says unlocking it for me.
