Stay;

“What was that?” He asked

“What?” I trailed off, looking into the background.

“You know what.”

I thought about everything I could say. About Macy about how much he means about everything. All I managed to say was

“It was nothing.” I ended the sentence with a smirk.

“OH don’t you give me that smile;” He giggled

“I know what that smile means Mattie!”

I laughed a bit and brushed the hair out of my eyes.

“Look I know somethings up okay, and I know you’re not gonna tell me here and now cause in your head you’re gonna think about this, and you’re thinking that whatever you have to tell me is going to cause a scene and you don’t want to do that. So lets make this clear, since you like to plan ahead, we will all spend the rest of the day together. You will sleepover at my house tonight, we will talk about this, touch up your highlights and watch a movie, okay babe?”

I dove into his arms and he hugged me tight, I could feel him breath in the smell of my hair,

“Yes, but I’m telling you, you’re not gonna like my answer.” I say

“Whatever it is you know I love you right, you’re my best friend and nothing is going to change that”

We walked back to the table and chatted the whole night. Somewhere around 9:30 Macy had to leave so Vic walked her out, to help her catch a cab. “Ugh she sickens me...” They all giggle, I stayed quite the whole time she was here. “You’re voice is so adorable!” Tony giggles. “Stop it you guys!” I try to calm them down but they don’t stop. I look out the window, a smile still plastered on my face. I see him and how he looks at her. How he holds her hand and kisses her goodbye a million times. My smile fades away, they can all see it too. The don’t hide the fact that they see it either. “Whats wrong Mattie?” Mike pipes up. “Nothing, n-nothing I just need some fresh air.” I lied, the last thing I need is fresh air, I need a drink, something to wash down the doubt and self loathing. “Why don’t you go outside, Vic’s still there with Macy.” I hesitate, before answering. “No, no, no, no, no, haha, nooo I’ll be fine!” Vic came back in and the conversation picked up again. I was thinking about what Vic wanted me to tell him. I wouldn’t say anything. I like to see him happy, I can’t be the one to ruin it.

At that moment my phone beeped. I got a text from some random person, and old stranger, ‘HEEEYYY MATTIIIIEEE, Theres a banging party over here you gotta be here!’

“Hey guys theres this party wanna go?”
