Broken

Chapter Five

I woke up facing Matt and his mouth was slightly agape. I smiled and slowly crept out of bed trying not to disturb Matt. I found my way to his bathroom and screamed into the mirror.

“OH MY GOD! WHO DID THIS!?” I looked at my painted reflection.

Somebody had the nerve to draw all over my face while I was asleep. I’m furious. I wanted to be home, this wasn’t even my choice. After 20 long minutes of scrubbing my face I got most of the marker off and found the laundry room which held my dry, clean clothes. I threw them on, and went back to Matt’s room. He was still asleep but I needed a ride home and I was scared to see what was in Carter’s room-knowing that he had been drinking.

“Pssst. Matt?” whisper, yelling I walked closer to his bed. I lightly tapped his shoulder. Nothing.

“Matthew?” I whispered a little louder and he just rolled over. That’s it, I gotta do it.

I sat next to Matt and began to tap his forehead non-stop for a bit and when that didn’t work I began to tickle his sides and within a few seconds he jolted up grabbing my hands.

“I’m up.” He grumbled pulling away and rubbing her eyes groggily. He looked at the clock above the door and his eyes widened.

“Are you insane?! Its 7:00am!”  He almost yelled and then he smiled when he saw that I had jumped.

“I know I’m sorry, I just want to get home.” I spoke softly breaking our eye contact and looked at the ground.

I felt bad for all that happened and I don’t plan on hanging out with all of them again. They all are very loud while I keep to myself. They are very funny-for the most part but, It’s just not my crowd of people. I looked back at Matt who was now throwing on a new shirt and shorts. I closed my eyes when I saw him changing and I could hear him chuckle, my cheeks shaded a light pink.

“Are you sure you don’t want to stay? We are going to the star walk!” He announced and I rolled my eyes.

I used to go there all the time with my dad well, before he left. I had a knot in my throat from the thought of him but I quickly shoved it to the back of my mind. Seeing that Matt was don’t I stood up and walked towards the door.

We pulled up to my house and I began to get out when Matt began to speak.

“I had a lot of fun with you, even if you were upset 99% of the time.” He teased and then he added.

“Well we all did!” He nervously laughed and handed me a laminated pass that had VIP written over all the guys faces.

“You should come to our show tomorrow, it’s our last show in California.” He blushed and I nodded in agreement.

“I don’t want to seem like a charity show or something. Plus I don’t think Taylor likes me very much.” I fumbled out the words and started to get out again when he placed his large and on my knee.

“I want you to come because we are friends, and I care about you.” He smiled a big warm smile, which made me smile. I pretended to think about an answer but I had already made up my mind.

“Fine.” I mumbled and smiled.

He laughed and took his hand off my knee blushing at his action.

“Good now get out of my car.” He winked and we both shared a laugh.

I climbed out and walked up to my house waving him goodbye and walking inside. My back against the door just smiling like an idiot.
