Until Dawn Fanfiction: Matt X Female Reader

Chapter Three

Chris's POV

Sam and I meet up with Josh and reach the others at the lodge. Ashley and Y/N are sitting on the steps talking and Matt is sulking next to them. I catch Y/N throwing worried glances in Matt's direction. 

"Hey, guys," Josh greets. "Get up here okay?"

Ashley and Y/N pause in their conversation. 

"Yeah... Well, more or less. But it's so good to see you!" Ashley says. 

"'Sup with him?" Josh questions, noticing Matt. 

Matt walks off, Y/N hurrying after him as Ashley stays on the steps, shivering. I walk up the stairs with Josh to open the door. 

"Yo yo yo! Are we gonna get things moving up here or what?" I ask Josh. 

"Yeah, man!" Josh responds enthusiastically. 

I cock my head curiously. "Hey... you doin' alright? I know it must be really tough without your sis-"

"Stop," Josh interjects. 

In an effort to recover, I try, "I just meant that-" 

Josh interrupts me again. "No, I know what you meant. You know, seriously, I'm over it, and I just want us to have a good time, you know? Like we always used to."

I nod in understanding and Josh turns to the door, trying to open it. "Dammit... This freaking thing..."

"Is it iced?" I ask. 

"What else?"

"Maybe there's another way in."

Josh examines the lock. "There are a million ways in. They're just all locked."

"There's gotta be, like, a window 'round the corner we can get, like, 'get open' or something."

Josh turns to face me. "Wait a second. Are you saying we should break in?"

I chuckle. "I don't think it's technically breaking in if you own the place, right?"

"Hey. Not if I don't report you."

"Umm..."

"Lead the way, Cochise," Josh tells me, gesturing with his arm towards the corner. 

I turn around and head back down the stairs, Josh at my heels. I reach Ashley on the stairs and she waves to me. 

"Hey, Ash," I greet with a smile. 

"Hi, Chris!" she returns. 

"So... how're you doing?"

"Mm... good!  But... a little cold... I think I could use some time curled up by the fire..."

 "Yeah... that does sound pretty nice," I agree, trying to keep it from being obvious what I actually mean. 

I then turn around and follow Josh down the path to find a window to get open. 

"Ashley was looking pretty hot today, right?" Josh pauses in his walking. 

Oh please, Josh, don't try something. 

"She's like a 'sleeper hit' kinda gal, you know?" he continues. "Now I just want to rip that parka right off her... make some snow angels. Right?"

"Hey, cut it out, man," I plead, shaking my head. 

"I mean if you're not gonna bang her... maybe Mike'll take up the case."

"W-Will you back off already?"

"Re-laaax... I'm just checkin' to see if there's some blood flowin' down there."
