Thief 2 (m.e.)

Chapter 17

Kole's POV

I wake up to an empty bed as the sun shines in my face. “Matthew why would you open those curtains up?"

He doesn't respond.

“Matthew."

Same response.

“Matt!" I say with more force in my voice.

When he doesn't reply again. I whip the covers off my legs and go to the bathroom.

“Matthew, I'm talking to -" The bathroom is empty.

I sigh, now I feel stupid. I grab my phone and call Matt.

“What's up?" He ask after a couple rings.

“Where are you at?" I ask.

“Up in Carter's room, come over with us."

I hear a voice in the background but I can't make out the words.

“Shut up." Matt replies to them.

I don't really know if I want to be with Matt and Carter and just them, it will probably be all awkward with me not knowing Carter, but I also don't want to be alone.

“Um, well what room is his?"

“If you're walking out the room, he's three doors down on the left, baby."

“On our side?"

“Yep!"

“Okay, I haven't gotten dressed or anything yet, so I'm gonna get ready." I tell him.

“Take your time."

“Bye."

“Bye."

After I got out the shower, I put on a navy blue shirt, it had cuts in the float sleeves, and had a white print of a harp. I decided I wanted to do something with my hair, so I flipped my bands to where they would curl back.

I knock on the door and wait for an answer. I'm greeted by Shawn I believe it is.

“Hey." He smiles.

“Hey." I say awkwardly letting myself in.

I walk down the hall and find Carter and Matt leaning against the end of the bed, on the floor, playing video games. Nash sits on the bed watching the screen.

Matt glances at me, then back to the TV. “Hey babe." He says.

Nash quickly looks at me, then around me. “Who are you talking to?" He ask Matt.

“Kole." He says, never letting his eyes leave the screen, his fingers jump from button to button.

“Oh, yeah, I forgot that wasn't an actual name."

The four boys in the room seem to snicker.

“You're in Amsterdam, and you're playing video games?" I ask.

What since does that make?

“Why not?" Matt shrugs.

“Well, you can do that anytime you want, I thought we were going to go look around today-"

“Woo! I beat you! I win!" Matt yells standing up.

Carter shakes his head.

“My turn." Nash butts in.

Carter gives Nash the controller and switches places.

The game is started again.

“You say something, Kole?" Matt finally says after a while.
