Is it A Dream?

25

Simmy's POV.

Waking up the sounds of zombies I realized I had fell asleep.

Groaning I grabbed the remote and shut the TV off. Glancing at the time I realized it was already 4. As I get up I hear a knock on the door.

Getting up I made my way to the door.

As the door opened I looked up as my eyes widened.

"Matt?"

"Uh yeah. Can I come in? It's starting to pour down and I'm really cold." He asked.

Nodding he made his way in.

Guiding him to the living room he sat down on the couch.

"Did I uh. Did I interrupt something?" He asked, looking around that food was everywhere and tissues.

I shook my head looking down. "No." I say weakly.

He nodded his head slightly.

"So uh. As soon as you left I noticed you left your phone. I just wanted you to get it." He says, handing me my phone. 

I smiled weakly grabbing the phone. "Thanks." I say, sniffling.

"Look Simmy." He starts.

I shook my head. "Don't even bother. I told you, I'm used to people hating me for no reason."

He shook his head quickly in response. "You don't get it!"

I tensed up. "I don't get it?! Matt don't you tell me that I don't get it. You have a fucking perfect life! You're making money by doing what you love to do! You're living your dreams! We don't all have luxuries lives like you! You have people that care about you! And you tell me I don't get it?! No Matt. YOU don't get it! You don't get it how easy everything is for you! You have everything handed to you. People like me and Ella, we have to work for what we want."

He looked down.

"Don't start with me." I state.

He looked at me. "You think I have it easy?? No Simmy! I don't! I get judged for every little thing! Everything I do gets put everywhere! And half the time they twist stories and photoshop pictures and make it look like something completely different! I'm only 17! People around my age have crushes. Have girlfriends. Have some kind of girl in their life! Me? Every time I try that girl gets hated on by fans while I lose my chance of finding happiness. The reason why I was a dick to you was, I didn't want you to get the hate! You don't deserve hate! You've been through way too much to just have people that don't even know you judge you, hate you, say bad things about you. I wanted to keep you safe from my world. You see this?" He exclaims, handing me his phone.

"Look at what's trending on Twitter! 3 trends about HATE about YOU. I don't want this for you Simmy! I don't!"

I could tell he was going to cry. That's when I got up and sat next to him.

"Hey Matt. Shh, it's okay. Let's put your phone away and just breathe for a second. Thank you for trying to protect me. But Matt, I'm 17, I can take care of myself. Sure I'm not a proper adult, but I'm old enough to know what's wrong and right. You can't just decide things like that." I say, with my hand on top of his.

He smiled weakly and looked at me. "I'm sorry for being a dick." He said, looking down at his thumbs.

I smirked. "Don't worry about it. Thanks for bringing my phone." I say, kissing his cheek.

He smiled.

"No problem."

I nodded. "Friends?"

He twiddled his thumbs. "Friends."

I smiled putting my head on his shoulder.

"Boys are crazy. You make girls eat a lot of food and cry." I smirk.

He chuckled. "Need help cleaning up?"

I giggled. "Yes please!"

He smiled as we both got up.

"I'll get a trash bag from the kitchen?" Matt asked, walking towards the kitchen.

I nodded. "Second cabinet, upper left by the fridge!" I say, picking off the chip bag off the ground.

Hearing the doorknob wiggle I made my way to the front door.

"WE BROUGHT CAFFEINE!" Ella yells walking in.

I giggled. "STARBUCKS! You are my savior Ella Morgan!"

Ella smiled. "I know!"

"Hey Lou!" I say smiling.

He smiled back. "Hey love!"

Hearing noise from the kitchen Ella looked up. "Is someone here?"

I nodded. "Matt! Come out and say hi to Ella and Lou!"

Matt walked out of the kitchen and to the front door.

"Hey Ella!" He said, hugging her.

"Hey what's up mate!" Lou said, shaking his hand.

After everyone said their hello's we all went to the living room.

"Ella will you help me get hot chocolate for all of us?" I asked as they all sat down.

Ella nodded and made her way into the kitchen with me. As I put my starbucks in the fridge I hear the guys mumbling.

Matt's POV.

Watching the girls walk into the kitchen I turned to Louis.

"Hey Louis."

He looked at me. "Yeah lad?"

"I need advice man. Girl advice."

Louis chuckled. "Uhm well this isn't the best time for me to give girl advice but shoot."

I let out a weak chuckle.

"So. I really like Simmy.."

Louis smiled. "Spot on! I knew it!"

I chuckled. "The thing is. I think she likes my friend Carter. I was being a dick to her because I didn't want her getting sucked into the hating and people judging her. So with me being a dick, Carter came to the rescue. He was there for her when I wasn't. And I'm basically friend zoned. How the hell do I get out?"

Louis scratched his head. "Wow. Delicate situation."

I nodded. "Trust me I know."

"What I would do is, move slowly in. Make small gestures that'll make her notice that you like her and that you have more than an intention of staying friends. Show her you're better than this Carter guy."

I smiled and nodded. "Thanks man! And if anyone asks we didn't have this conversation!"

Louis and I chuckled as the girls walked in.

"I mean yeah! But the other team was better!" I blurt out.

"Uh yeah! Most definitely!" Louis added.

"Boys. All they do is  talk about is sports." Ella said, handing both Louis and Matt a cup of hot chocolate.

I chuckled. "Girls. All they do is gossip and complain that they didn't get enough likes on their instagram picture!"

Louis laughed.

Simmy and Ella gasped.

"What? Not even!" Ella exclaimed.

"Yeah! What she said! I don't care how many likes I get!" Simmy added.

Everyone laughed.

"So I was thinking. If the rain clears up by tonight, do you all want to go to the beach tomorrow? I can invite the guys too!" I suggested.

Louis took a sip. "Yeah that'll be cool. I'll bring the lads. That alright with you ladies?"

Simmy and Ella both nodded.

"Then it's settled! Tomorrow we're going to the beach!"
