"So now on with the real story...." Zacky says looking at me.
I beacon him on to continue.
"Well, when you first came here with Matt, honestly, none of us really liked you." Zacky says.
I raise an eyebrow & cross my arms giving him a screw face.
"But we do know!" Johnny says trying to cover up.
"No, we don't." Brian rudely says.
"So, the real story is you guys don't like me & never did?" I ask bluntly.
"Well, when you put it like that...." Jimmy trails off as I glare at him.
"So, if you guys never liked me, then why did you tell me you loved me & invite my band & I on tour with you guys?" I ask looking directly at Matt who's trying to avoid my stare. He finally looks at me.
"Because we were desperate & in need of help." Brian says.
Andy hugs me tighter into his chest as he sees my pained facial expression.
"But, that doesn't explain for you Matt, why did you tell me you loved me & why did you take me under your wing? Can you fucking answer that?!" I ask/exclaim loudly.
"Whoah! No need to yell." Jimmy says.
"Shut the fuck up Jimmy!" I exclaim.
Jimmy nods & looks away quickly.
"Now Matt are you going to answer me or not? Becuase I don't have all day to sit in a house with people who don't like me!" I say.
"I don't know." Matt mumbles.
"Great fucking answer." I say sarcastically rolling my eyes.
***Silence***
"So, um, if everyone is just going to sit here like fucking idiots, i'll leave, & never come back." I say staanding up walking towards the door, only to get spun around & meet familiar looking hazel-green tint eyes.
"Patrice, you didn't give us a chance to explain!" Matt says.
"What is there to explain Matt?! You guys have fucking made your point already!" I say.
"We don't like you, Patrice. We love you. Most importantly, I love you, with all of my heart. And if you don't love me back, I don't care. The reason everything happened the way it did is because I was trying to protect A7X, Kill Love Die, & you personally from Asher. & if you hate me for the rest of our lives for that, then okay, that's your decision. I'm just glad that you now know what really is going on," Matt says with a sophisticated look in his eyes.
"Wasn't expecting that were you?" Brian asks.
I shake my head no & slightly blush.
"Awwe! She's blushing!" Jimmy says making me blush even more.
I try to make the blush fade away & face Matt again. He looks at me with expectancy. I cup his face with my hands & look him directly in the eyes.
"I love you too." I say. And that was all Matt needed to hear.
