~There's a change in pressure, we're never gonna lie to you

My broken veins say that if my heart stops beating

"We'll bleed the same way", oh my broken veins say~

Mattys POV

I got back to my apartment about twenty minutes after Skylar had dropped me off at my car. I couldn't stop thinking about her, although I knew I should. She has a boyfriend, I kept telling myself, but I couldn't get my head around that. I felt like I was going insane, who thinks about someone they met ten hours ago, not even, nonstop? No one. No one does that, I needed a drink that's all.

I poured myself a glass of red wine so I could fall asleep, and be ready for tomorrow. I downed it and poured another, when my phone went off. It was one of my best mates, George.

George: Hey man we got a problem at Adam's place... crazy fan won't leave til she sees you? it's 11 o'clock man we need you

Oh great, I thought. Sometimes these girls got a little too obsessive. It would get a little creepy at times, they find where you're staying and won't leave til you sign something or hug them or take pictures. I've gotten told so many times that they won't leave until I kiss them. It's a little weird, but I'm used to it now, almost over it.

Matty: Yeah sure. be there in a few.

Adam had an apartment a couple blocks away from me, so it wasn't too far of a walk. I grabbed my jacket and keys and the bottle of red wine and took off for Adam's.

When I got there it was 11:13 and I could hear laughter from behind the door. I took a long drink then went it. George was standing in the foyer and Ross and Adam were sitting on the couch surrounding some teenage girl. She looked about sixteen or seventeen and she had blue eyes with dirty blonde hair.

She jumped out of her seat and ran to the door I thought she was going to plow me over. She hugged me so tight I felt my wine coming up out of my stomach. "Oh hello there," I said laughing and hugging her back.

She rambled on for a few minutes about the band and whatnot. Nothing I hadn't heard before. I took a picture with her signed a CD that the boys had already signed and she left. We all had a good laugh about it. Adam said he was pretty tired so he went to bed and told us we were welcome to stay over if we wanted. George hit the fridge, without finding much so he just sat down on the couch.

"So how'd you spend your first day off mate?" Ross asked me as I took yet another drink of wine. I could really feel it kicking in.

"It was pretty good. Met a girl that I'm gonna be spending time with tomorrow." I said with pushing my hair back out of my face. I glanced out the window and saw the stars lighting up the dark sky, which made me think of Skylar and her dark dark hair. Her blue eyes that resembled the moonlight on a still lake. I thought maybe she would be looking up at the stars too, and it was almost like she was with me. It was the one thing we would always have no matter what. The shining stars in the black sky.

"Oooooh" George said winking at me, and interrupting my thought. "What's she like?" he asked with a sly smile plastered on his face.

"She's gorgeous mate, and funny. She's got this deep side to her I can feel it, but she keeps it to herself. There is no flaw on her at all, except she has a boyfriend, who treats her like shit." I said remembering the way she started crying in the car and losing herself in thoughts of him.

"Oh man, that's not good Matty I'm sorry." Ross said and patted my shoulder as he went into the kitchen to get some water.

George looked at me and I could tell he could see how distraught I was about this. "It'll be alright Matty," he said smiling at me, "she'll come to her senses, you'll see." He got up and walked out the door, leaving me by myself. Ross I assumed had left since he still wasn't back yet, so I figured I shoud head home too.

On the way there I wanted to check my phone but remembered I left it at home so I just walked with the only noise being my own thinking in my head. What if she didn't want to actually see my tomorrow? Maybe she was doing this to make me feel welcome here and she didn't actually want to be my friend. After all she had been blinded by her relationship for at least six months, what if she stayed that way? I knew I was attracted to her but I could feel a little bit more than that. A little more feeling than what I had wanted. I didn't want to like someone here. I couldn't keep dating these girls who aren't what I need, I couldn't keep dating these girls who deserved someone who could stay in their lives. I knew Skylar deserved better, but was I any better than her boyfriend?

I was finally home and I threw my jacket onto the couch and went to check my phone. As soon as I saw a text from Skylar saying we could hang out tomorrow I was extatic. I couldn't wait.

Then there was another message, still from Skylar, that I received a little after I left. She didn't spell everything correctly, like she was drunk, or shaking.

Skylar: Hety Matty, i'm soeey to bothwr you byt Doug is yelking so loud I need a pkace to stay I'n so sorrt,

I started to panic. I could make out the message enough to know that Doug was yelling at her and she needed a place to stay. My heart dropped from my chest as I called her and she didnt answer. I didn't know where she lived so I couldn't just go and get her. I called again and after I thought she wasn't going to answer, she picked up.

"Matty?" she sounded tired.

"Sky, are you okay? Where are you? I'll come get you." I was grabbing my keys and jacket and wiping sleep from my eyes.

"Matty, I'm fine really, Doug left a while ago and I'm just at home." I hear her shaky voice, just barely. She sounded so scared. Anger rushed through me, though I wasn't sure why. I just met this girl. This was all happening so fast.

"No you're staying here text me your address okay?"

"Okay." She hung up and a couple minutes later she texted me her address.

I jumped in my car and gunned it almost all the way there.
