~ Can't You Help Me As I'm Starting To Burn? ~

Part 31

I laid in bed that night, not really knowing what to say to Matt. 

It's not very often that I fight with Matt. 

Never actually. 

And I have no idea why him keeping lyrics from me was affecting me the way it was. 

"Baby?" Matt said softly. 

I stayed quiet for a moment and Matt laid his hand on my hip. 

I took in a deep breath and turned so I was facing him. 

"I'm up." I said softly. 

He moved closer and laid his face right next to mine. 

"What's wrong? You've been distant all day." He asked me. 

I didn't want to admit why I was reacting this way. 

It was stupid and it made me feel even worse to say it out loud. 

"It's stupid." I grumbled. 

"It's bothering you, so it's not stupid. Tell me please Bella." Matt said softly. 

"I was just upset, that you didn't want to show me your lyrics. We share everything together. I guess it just hurt my feelings a little bit." I told him. 

I was right. 

Saying it out loud did make me feel stupid. 

Matt pulled me tightly against his chest and I breathed in a sigh of relief. 

"I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." Matt murmured. 

"I'm sorry. I overreacted. I don't even know why it was bothering me so much." I admitted. 

"I understand where you're coming from. I would be upset if you kept something from me too. Even if it was something little." Matt said. 

We were quiet for a minute. 

"So, why didn't you want me to see it?" I asked Matt. 

Matt chuckled and pulled me on top of him. 

"It's a surprise." He told me, holding me tightly against his body. 

I laid my chin on his chest as I stared at him. 

"You know I hate surprises." I said softly. 

"I know. That's why I'm doing it." Matt laughed. 

"Thanks." I said sarcastically as I started to laugh too. 

Matt rolled over so that he was laying on top of me. 

He pinned my arms down and looked down at me. 

I grinned widely. 

"Why don't I apologize for how mean I've been to you." He suggested. 

I smiled and nodded my head quickly. 

"I like that plan." I said with a smirk. 

Matt's lips came down on mine roughly and our night went from there.

Next Day

I sat in my chair laughing and talking with Larry about wrapping up the album. 

All of the tracks are done and the guys just need to decide on the final song. 

I have been bugging them for the past few days to decide which one they want. 

They still need to record the song, fix anything they don't like. 

It seems like an easy process but the guys are so picky. 

They want everything to be perfect and I totally understand where they are coming from. 

This is their legacy as a band. 

And they want everything to be perfect. 

I saw Matt and all of the guys walk in with huge smiles on their faces. 

I instantly started to feel nervous. 

Whenever these guys have that look on their face, they're planning something. 

I turned to face all of them, my arms wrapped tightly across my chest. 

"What are you guys doing?" I asked them with a cocked eyebrow. 

"We have a surprise for you." Jimmy said, a grin on his face. 

My eyes widened and I felt my heart start to breathe like crazy. 

Oh crap. 

I could only imagine what kind of surprise they had in store for me. 

I looked over at Matt and the grin that was on his face calmed my heart a bit. 

I knew by the look on his face that it was probably something I was going to love. 

That didn't however, take away the jitters that were enveloping me. 

"Um, okay." Was all I could say. 

The guys came forward and surrounded me. 

Uh oh.
