Chapter 17

I woke up the next morning but it was surprisingly dark. I got up, my back aching like crazy, and turned on the light. I was in Nash's bathroom.

I remember what happened as I saw his band aids. I sat down next to him to wake him up. "Nash wake up, it's morning" I said, shaking him. He yawned, stretching.

"Erin it's too early, can I sleep a little mor-ouch!" He said, in pain from his cuts. "Ugh sure but at least be comfy on your bed" I said, picking up the pillows and blanket. He smiled up at me and walked to his bed, falling asleep in seconds.

I placed the pillows and blanket on his bed and walked back quietly. I opened the door and almost didn't hear his voice. "Erin come here please"

I closed the door and walked to him. He uncovered his face, "thanks for being there for me yesterday" he said, smiling. I smiled back. "Thanks for standing up for me"

He nodded and fell asleep again. I walked to my room and laid in bed on my phone. I had a good morning text from Tay. I texted him back and turned on the tv.

I put on Teen Wolf and let me tell you, Dylan o' Bryan is freaking sexy. My phone buzzed as I got a text back from Tay.

BabyTay: date later maybe?

Erin: maybe. Last night was rough.

BabyTay: okay well I gtg, love you bye.

I put my phone down and closed my eyes trying to remember last night. I'd never seen my brother in pain and it broke my heart. I thought of the text Matt had sent. I'd had it.

I put my shoes on and a hoodie and went to get my penny board. I got on my penny board and went to Matt's house. All the lights were off but I still went up to the front door.

Knock. No response. Knock. No response. Knock. "I'm coming!" a voice said from behind the door. It was Matt's brother Dylan. "Oh hey Erin" he said, letting me in.

"Hey Dylan, is matt home?" I asked. He nodded and pointed up to his room. I thanked him and walked upstairs. They had a long hallway filled with family and school pictures.

I got to Matt's door. I took a deep breathe and opened it. "WHAT THE FUCK MAN!" Matt said as he slammed his laptop shut and his hand out of his pants. We all know what he was doing.

He looked up at me, surprised. "Oh shit Erin don't tell me you just saw that" he said, blushing. "I did but I'm not here to socialize with you. You're a cunt Matt! You almost fucking killed my brother yesterday!" I said, pushing him onto his bed.

Matt got up quickly. "Oh Erin, your brother deserved it. No one wants him here, including you" he said, grabbing my cheek. I smacked his hand off.

"You stay away from my fucking family or else!" He laughed. "Or else what? You'll tell your mommy?" He burst into laughter as I began getting angrier.

I couldn't play his games anymore. Bam. I don't know how it happened but I remember my fist hitting his jaw, harder than I've ever hit a person. He looked at me, surprised.

"Wow" he said, brushing some blood off his lip, "you hit like your boyfriend, weak" . I couldn't take it anymore. Slam. Right in the balls. He fell to the floor, wincing.

"You bitch, you'll be sorry. This is the worst mistake you've ever done" he said, as I ran down the stairs, running into Dylan. "Yo is everything okay?" He said. "Ask your brother" I responded.

I walked out the door and rode back home, stopping at the gas station for some ice cream. I looked through the ice cream section for Nash and I's favorite ice cream favor.

I picked up 7 cookie dough and walked up to the counter. As the lady checked my items, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Casey.

"Hey stranger. Haven't seen you around." She said, smiling. I ignored her and began walking outside with my bag. I heard her running up behind me.

"Okay that was rude. Incase you've forgotten about me but I'm your best friend remember?" She said, pointing at herself. I laughed. "And incase you've forgotten about who I am, I don't make friendships with back stabbers" I said, riding off.

I knew that I was being rude but I couldn't look at her anymore without thinking of Matt. I got home right when I heard thunder roar.

"Nash I'm home & I brought ice cream" I yelled, putting my penny board against the wall. "I'm up here" he yelled from upstairs. I ran upstairs and looked in his room. He was sitting on his bed on his laptop.

I jumped on his bed and looked at what he was looking at. Party this Saturday! House of Espinosa! Starts at 9:30 and ends whenever you guys want ;). Everyone is welcomed! See you there! - Matthew .

I looked at Nash who looked at me. "What do you think sis?" he said, grabbing an ice cream cup and a spoon. I shrugged. After all that happened I don't think I wanted to go.

I started eating an ice cream cup as Nash started speaking. "Sis I think we should go, show that asshole that us Grier's are strong" he said, puffing out his chest.

I giggled. "We shall big brother" I said, puffing mine out as well. We both burst out laughing, taking a spoonful of ice cream. He got off his Twitter and onto YouTube.

He logged in and looked at me. "Sis we should start making videos" he said, scrolling through his feed & picked a "best vines of September 2014" video.

I nodded and laid back against his headboard.

"Oh Matthew Espinosa, you aren't ready for me" I thought.
