Bound to the moonlight Part 3

Amy

My eyes snapped open as I felt the presence of another person a second before I heard the sharp intake of breath that was followed by a shout of:

"Matthew Alan Fletcher what the hell do you think you are doing?" this voice turned from a shout to a scream by the end. I squinted slightly as I lifted by head to see a tall red haired women looming over me and Matt who had cuddled up on the floor together and clearly fallen asleep.

"Matt." I whispered shaking his shoulder gently, desperate to not have to face this very angry woman alone. he groaned and shifted and I realised I had my leg slung across his waist and slowly removed it but not discreetly enough as I saw the woman's eyes focus on my slowly moving leg with her eyes narrowed. I very slowly shuffled back from him trying to discreetly rearrange the shirt that had become bunched up under my boobs. Matt opened his eyes and hearing a loud growl he turned his eyes to look at the woman, seeing the horrified look dawning on his features I identified her as his mother. I pushed myself up to sitting.

"Hi." I said quietly raising my hand in a vague sort of flick that she could consider a wave if she wanted to.

"Hi Mom this is Amy." he said pushing himself up to sitting and gesturing at me with a vaguely flick of his hand. "A friend from school." He said clearly deciding to behave as if this sort of discovery happened every day "Amy my Mom, Alice." He said clearly deciding that was the correct sort of protocol for this situation. Alice folded her arms her eyes getting even narrower, "This isn't what it looks like." He said weakly.

"Your school called me again, it seems your still ditching." She said her voice like ice, "Now I see why."

"This is completely innocent mom, were just friends." A smile widened on Alice's face.

"Of course so what your telling me is that you cut school to spend the day sleeping in our deserted house draped around the body of a pretty young girl, in a completely innocent way.

"Mom." Matt said awkwardly his cheeks starting to burn in an adorable way.

"Although I do have a slight issue with the fact that your fifteen and it has been a while since I was fifteen but believe me I remember what all those hormones flying around your body feels like."Alice turned her razor sharp eyes onto me and I reached for my shoes and began pulling them on staring at them intently as if I found them an intricate challenge. "But you need to go to school we have discussed this and you said you would be going to school not cutting to spend time with girls."

"Can we talk about this later?" matt asked wearily,

"No we are talking about it now because this is important what would have happened if your sister would have got home first?"

"Well she probably would have crushed me trying to get to the TV."

"This is not funny Matthew." She snarled.

"I'm not trying to make it funny." He said wearily rubbing his forehead as if it was causing him great pain, "but what are you so angry about?" Alice gaped for several minutes as if lost for words and then simply snapped out,

"Are you joking?"

"No." Matthew said gently "I'm not I am actually honestly curious what's upset you so much?" Alice continued to gape at her son, "Lucy didn't see anything not that there was anything to see we both dressed and just" he hesitated and unable to verbalise what we were exactly doing he let the sentence die and just sat looking thoroughly awkward as well as terrified that I would contradict him. But I wouldn't after all what was it I was going to say we had been doing. Matthew sighed heavily as he pushed himself to his feet and grabbed his shirt. "Look I'm going to walk Amy home to give you time to figure out what it is your pissed about." Alice clearly bristled her hair seeming to crackle with electricity.
