CHANGING MATT

Are you okay, Jenn?

Jenna

"Yeah. It's me" Matt replies, and I heave in relief. He's got company, but I can't see who it is. I can't even see anything.
"Please help me Matt. I need your help" I plead incredulously, almost getting on my knees. On any normal day I'd rather shit in my pants than ask for Matt's help this desperately. But today was far from normal. I had been stranded on the road for hours, partly because I had no one to call for help. I'd been so desperate that I'd almost called my step mom to come pick me up. And that is saying something. But then a gang of teenage thugs attacked me, stole my phone and destroyed my glasses. Good thing I had no money on me.
"We'd love to help, but we are quiet busy Jennifer. Matt and I are on a date"
"Oh" I mumble, recognizing Scarlet's voice almost immediately. She was never as mean as Flora, but she was a close call. A very close call.
"Don't be ridiculous Scar. She's stranded"
"You could give her some money to find her way to the dorms, Matt"
"It's almost midnight"
"So?"
I stood awkwardly in silence, watching them argue it out. If I hated Matt Miller before, I hated him even more now. I couldn't really point out why, though.
"Get in the car Jenna. You must be freezing out in the cold" he finally says, his gaze fixed on the pair of glasses beside me.
"Don't worry about it, Matt. I'll find my way" I say begrudgingly, hating that he'd had to get Scarlet's consent before letting me in.
"The bitch has spoken. Let's get going Matt"
"Shut up Scarlet"
They argued on and on, and my legs couldn't support me anymore. I was beyond stressed out by now, and I knew I was gonna be sick.
"Are you okay Jenn?" Matt asks, and that's the last thing I hear before being engulfed by the dark.
