"Jesus, you're lasagna is heaven, Marie." I moaned and stuffed my mouth with Matthew's mother's cooking. They both laughed at me.

"You're welcome, Jannalyn. You can come by anytime." She let me know, I nodded and smiled really big. She left Matt and I alone in the kitchen and went up to do the laundry.

"You are one lucky, butthole." I pointed a finger at him.

"Just cause she cooks good food?" Matthew said with an attitude.

Matty had been going through a lot that week. His parents just divorced a week before and he thought it was his mother's fault.

"No. Because she takes cares of you." I said when I finished my plate and a placed it in the sink.

"It's her job to take care of him, Jannalyn." He said and gave me the look when we always talk about this topic. I looked at him and sighed heavily.

"Don't be so hard on your mom, Matty. She's done everything for you to be happy and safe." I told him.

"Divorcing my dad didn't make me happy." His jaw clenched. He walked away and went up to his room. I stayed in the living room and just think.

Matty and I have been arguing a lot this past week. So I knew that going up to his room to comfort him is kind of a bad idea, so I just left his house and to my house. I opened the blinds and look at Matthew's window. He was sitting on the floor with his back against the door and cried. I took my phone out of my pocket and called him.

"Come over, Matty." I said. He looked up, his eyes meeting mine. He slowly nodded then left his room to my house. I sat on my bed and waited for him to come, he walked in then laid down and laid his head on my lap while he cried. "It'll be okay." I whispered in his ear as I combed his hair with my fingers soothingly.

"Are you sure?" He sobbed.

"Of course I'm sure, Matty. I'm here for you." I said. "Now don't be so pouty so we can go out and party with the squad." I smirked. Tonight we planned to go to a party of our friend's.

"Are you sneaking out?" He whispered.

"I have to." I shrugged my shoulders. "Are you?" I asked him.

"No. My mom's going on a business trip this weekend and she's bringing Leyla with her so." He sighed while he shrugged his shoulders.

The party starts at 11 p, and it was already 9 pm. So Matthew just stayed at my house and we played some video games and just hung out like what normal best friends do.


"Should I wear this?" I said and showed him my black tight dress.

"Yeah hell no." He said and took it from my hands then threw it to my bed. "Just wear jeans." He ordered.

"What? No!" I shook my head while I took the dress and checked it out.

"Why? Are you trying to impress someone? Hm?" He said before he raised his eyebrows at me and wiggled it.

"What? No?" I said. Okay, maybe I am trying to impress someone, not just someone but him. I just suddenly want to look good and take Matt's breathe away.

"Yes you do. Who is it?" He said then kept a straight face.

"It's no one. Why would you care anyways?" I said.

"Because I'm your best friend." He said with sass.

"It doesn't look that bad. Come on, your not my father." I told him.

"Fine but I swear if someone tries to lay a finger on you. Don't blame me for breaking their nose." I couldn't help but smiled. I somehow felt this weird thing in my stomach, I never felt this thing before.

"Okay." I laughed. I took the dress and changed in the bathroom before doing my make up and hair.

"Ready?" He asked, he grabbed my car keys. I nodded and grabbed my purse before we walked out of my house. While we were in the car, I couldn't help but look at him in the corner of my eye.

He was wearing a SnapBack, button up shirt that looks hot on him, and black jeans. He had this gold necklace around his neck that matced his outfit. His father gave him the necklace ever since he was a little boy, and he never took it off even if he goes to bed.

"Quit checking me out." He smirked while he fixed his shirt's collar and looked at the mirror.

"I am not." I rolled my eyes.

"And I'm a unicorn. No need to lie, babe." He winked at me. Then that feeling in my stomach came back. I placed my hand over my stomach and tried to make it stop, but it wouldn't. "Are you okay?" He looked at me worriedly.

"I'm fine." I said as we pulled up to the driveway. "Is Rachel going to be here?" I asked.

"Of course, she is." He locked the door and grabbed my hand before he led me to the doorstep before he knocked.

"Hey bro! You made it!" Johnson yelled over the loud blasting music. They bro hugged then he turned to me.

"Jannalyn." He jokingly bowed then hugged me.

"You are such a weirdo." I laughed, I slapped his arm playfully.

"You love it." He winked at me.

That's weird. Whenever Matthew would compliment me, wink at me, calls me cute nicknames. I would get a weird feeling in my stomach, good weird. But, when someone else does it, I don't feel anything. What the hell is going on?

"So who's ready to party!?"
