I couldn't believe it, he was standing here in front of me, telling me everything I'd always wanted to hear, the words I'd wanted him to say to me for so long. I was shocked. Matt loved me and I really didn't know how to feel about that. I just looked at him, listening to him tell me.
I heard a noise and looked to the door, Brian was standing there.
"Brian." I said, he turned and walked out.
"Em, listen to me." Matt said.
I looked at him and realised why I felt so conflicted about this, Brian.
I really didn't have any interest in Matt anymore, I wanted Brian.
"I have to go." I said, stepping away from him.
"What? Where?" He looked shocked.
"Argh Matt, Brian."
"What about him?" He looked confused.
"Oh god, think about it Matt, I've got to go."
I walked away from him, it was easier than I ever thought it would be.
I walked straight out the back but I couldn't see him anywhere.
"Have you seen Brian?" I asked Zack.
"No, he was going in to see you."
Oh god, he saw me alright and now he had the wrong idea, fuck.
"Fuck Zack."
"Please tell me you told Matt to go jump?" Zack asked.
"What? Of course I did, he must have gone home."
"Probably, go see him."
"Yes, I am." I turned, I needed to leave now.
"Em, wait." Zack called, he went inside and came back out with a key, handing it to me. "You know what he's like, he probably won't let you in if he's pissed off."
That was true.
"Thanks." I grabbed it and headed to the car.
I drove to his place, all the lights were out, was he even home?
I walked to the door and rang the bell, waiting. Nothing. I pulled out my phone and called his. No answer, it was turned off.
I really didn't want to use the key, it felt wrong just letting myself in, but I needed to see him.
I slipped the key in and went inside. He was here, his keys were on the side table.
Oh god, what if he told me to get lost? I couldn't live without Brian in my life, I just couldn't do it.
I walked quietly up the stairs, taking a deep breath before opening his bedroom door.
I could see him in the bed, laying on his side.
I stood there looking at him, unsure what to do, but it was Brian, I knew what I wanted to do.
I took off my shoes and tiptoed over to the side of the bed, I slipped under the covers.
I moved closer to him and slipped my arm across his waist.
"You can stop sneaking around, I'm awake." He suddenly said.
"Okay." I whispered.
"So what do you want Emily?"
What did he mean?
