I woke up before Matt, so I slowly untangled my self from his arms to get dressed and shower. I changed into a pair of black shorts and my Black Flag shirt.

"Good morning, beautiful" Matt greeted me.

"Hey hey hey" I sang as I walked over to him. He pulled me onto his lap and into a deep kiss.

"What do you want to do today?" He asked me.

I just shrugged.

"Well i'm starving so I'm going to make some breakfast, want some?" He asked.

"Maybe a little, I don't have much of an appetite" I pursed my lips.

Matt got up to go down stairs, I followed behind him and plopped myself down on the couch in the living room. I could hear Matt frying and cooking in the kitchen. I noticed his phone on the coffee table, I picked it up. He had a new message that said,

I can't wait! :)

It was from Val. My mouth dropped open.

"What the fuck" I whispered to myself, as I looked at the conversation.

So I get to see you tomorrow ;) - Val

Yeah :) -Matt

;) - Val

;) - Matt

The conversation went on for about a page. I couldn't believe my eyes. How could I be so stupid. The tears hadn't come yet, but the anger had. I wanted to strangle Matt, how could he cheat on me? Maybe he wasn't…. but it was more than clear that he could be. I placed my face in my head and just sat there cursing to myself. How could I be so stupid thinking that someone as handsome as Matt would like me, someone has amazing and famous as him. I was a nobody.

I forced myself to walk into the kitchen.

"Do you want some toast, or pancakes?"

"Nope" I said popping the p.

I took a seat across from him, trying my best not to make eye contact with him. Part of me didn't want him to know I knew because I was probably just making a mountain out of a mole hill but the other part of me wanted to be as cold towards him as possible.

Matt spent the day, doing... I don't really know what. I didn't want to be around him so I spent the day in the living room watching TV. Hours past, I was startled when I heard a knock at the front door. I made my way towards the front and opened the door. A skinny woman, a little taller than me with short blonde hair was standing in front of me. Val, I thought to myself.

"Can I help you?" I asked.

She pushed past me and into the house, "Nice to see Matt has a cleaning lady"

I rolled my eyes "I'm not-"

"MATTY!" Val yelled as she ran up to him and pulled him into a hug and a deep kiss. When I say deep I mean deep, tongue and all. At first Matt wasn't kissing back but then of course he did. Just as I thought. I stood there with my arms folded across my chest. My eyes were narrow.

Matt pulled away from the kiss and stared at Val, "What are you doing here?"

He sounded surprised at least.

"You know what i'm doing here" She replied, flirtatiously.

Matt looked over at me, "Morgan it's not what it looks like"

"Really" I snapped, "because it looks like you have another girlfriend."

"No I-" Matt began.

"Matt you've been cheating on me?!" Val said putting her hands to her mouth.

"Fuck you" I flipped Matt off as I turned on my heels and walked out the door. A myriad of
thoughts were racing through my mind along with a flood of emotions. RIght now though, I just wanted to get the hell away from here. I didn't know where to go, but i'll find somewhere. I don't care anymore.

"Wait" I felt Matts hand grab my arm. I pulled my arm away, "I don't know what Val's doing here I swe-"

"Save it Matt, I saw what I saw."

"No, you didn't" He raised his voice.

"I saw you fucking make out with that girl" I said smugly.

"She kissed me-" Matt was yelling. I hated yelling.

"And you kissed her" I said calmly.

"Morgan, I'm not cheating you I swear!" He yelled at me.

"Stop fucking yelling at me" I raised my voice as a couple tears ran down my cheeks. Matt was honestly scaring me right now.

"Why are you being so difficult!?" Matt growled.

"Why are you fucking dating someone else!? Is our whole relationship a lie!? How long have you been dating her? Huh? Answer me that" I snapped back.

"No!" Matt yelled, yet again.

Matt saw a tear running down my face so he brought his hand up to wipe it off. I slapped him across the face hard. It sent him backwards.

"Don't fucking touch me, jerk" I snarled.

"Morgan, please" He pleaded.

"No, and take back your fucking ring" I said as I threw the ring at his chest, "Some promise." I huffed sarcastically, "Give it to your precious little Val, I'm sure she's a lot better than I ever was"

The tears were pouring down my face now, I turned on my heels and began to walk away. Matt chased after me, just as I though he would. He grabbed my arm, I yanked it away from him.

"Morgan, please ju-"

I cut him off, not wanting to hear a word of what he said, "No, Matt the damage is done, have a nice life"

I ran down the street, the tears poured down my face. I made my way into town. It was dark out now, I had no idea where I was. There was a bar up ahead called Johnny's. I tried to go in but was immediately kicked out for being underaged. I somberly walked behind the building and called Brian.

"Hello?" He answered.

"B-Brian" I cried.

"Morgan! What's wrong?"

"M-Matt and I… Matt's cheating on me"

"Oh my god" Brian said sinisterly, "where are you?"

"Behind Johnny's" I managed to get out through the tears.

"I'll be right over" Brian said as he hung up the phone. I turned around so that my head was leaning against the brick wall. I clenched my hands into fists and slid them harshly on the bricks causing the sides of my hands to bleed. The tears continued to fall.

"That looks like it hurts" Brian said as he walked up to me.

"It does" I mumbled.

He took both of my hands and turned myself towards him before pulling me into a loving hug.

"I'm so sorry" He whispered.

I hugged him back. He pulled away and wiped the tears from my eyes.

"Let's go back to my place, and you can tell me what happened" Brian suggested.

I nodded my head. He lead me into his black BMW. The ride to his house was short. I tried to hide my crying, but I couldn't. How could Matt do this to me?

"Okay, let's get you inside" Brian said sweetly as he hopped out of the car and led me into his house. He brought me up to his room and sat me down on the bed, next to him.

The tears had subsided somewhat, but I was still crying.

"So tell me what happened" Brian said softly.

"Well this morning, Matt was making breakfast… and I was in the living room… and I decided to look at his phone." I said quietly.

Brian had this caring look on his face, he looked genuinely worried.

"There were… some texts from Val on his phone, he had replied to all of them" I rested my face in my hands as I began to cry hysterically again.

"It's okay" Brian cooed as he pulled me onto his lap and into a hug.

"Then I… well later that day Val came over and she barged into the house basically and… she kissed Matt, in front of me… and he… kissed her back" I sobbed into his chest.

"That fucking bastard" Brian whispered to himself, "I'm so sorry Morgan, you of all people do not deserve this." Brian sympathized in a more audible tone.

"Maybe I do.." I sighed.

"What? No, no one deserves this especially not someone as beautiful and amazing as you."
"I'm not that amazing, Val's probably a lot better than me.. Matt deserves better" I sighed, looking down at the floor.

Brian tilted my chin up towards his, "Val isn't better than you she's the bitchiest most arrogant and annoying cunt I've ever met. You are so much better than her, and half the girls I've met"

I laughed slightly at his comment, "I just don't understand why he did this to me"

"Neither do I" Brian sighed.

"Can I stay here tonight?" I asked.

"You can stay here as long as you need to" Brian smiled, "there are sweatpants and t-shirts in the bottom drawer if you need something to change into" Brian said as he started to get up and walk towards the door.

"Thanks Bri" I smiled, weakly.

He smiled back, "Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go give Matt a piece of my mind."

Oh god I thought to myself. I walked over to the drawer that Brian was talking about and pulled out a pair of sweat pants along with a random t-shirt that he had. It smelt exactly like him, intoxicating in the best way possible.


*** Brian's POV ***


I closed the door behind me so that Morgan could have her privacy. I was so mad at Matt, I didn't understand why he would do this to Morgan. On countless occasions Matt and I would talk and the subject about his love for Morgan always came up. he was absolutely infatuated with her, to the point where he would take a bullet for her. Something was wrong.

I frantically dialed Matt's number.

"Hello" He answered, his voice was quiet he sounded upset.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I yelled at him.

"Brian, you don't understand"

"I understand what Morgan told me, how the hell could you do this to her?! To HER of all people, you know how much she's been though Matt." I snapped furiously.

"I didn't cheat on her" Matt mumbled, "Val just showed up and kissed me, and I kissed back for like 2 seconds, I don't know what came over me" Matt groaned.

He sounded horrible.

"What about the texts then?"

"I- I don't know, I replied to them without even looking at the name, I thought it was Morgan which is stupid of me."

"Yeah" I laughed.

"I fucked up badly" Matt muttered.

I walked in circles around my kitchen as Matt and I talked.

"Are you sure you didn't cheat on Morgan?"

"Brian, I swear on my life I didn't I love Morgan more than anything, she's the best thing that's ever happened to me" Matt said sincerely.

I believed him, he sounded like he was crying and what Val did was typical Val. Sneaky. One of the many reasons as to why I hated her.

"I'm gonna go try and talk to Morgan" I said slowly.

"Thank you" Matt sighed.

In all my years of knowing him i'd never heard him sound so depressed.

I was going to tell Morgan what he said, I wanted to get them back together. Yes I did love Morgan, in that way. But I also loved her as a friend and after all she's been through, I wanted her to be happy. The least I could do is try. I walked up to my room and slowly opened the door. Morgan was laying down, I couldn't tell if she was awake or asleep, she looked so adorable.

"Morgan?" I whispered.

"Yeah?" She moaned.

"I just talked to Matt" I said softly as I sat next to her.

"Oh god" She sighed loudly.

"He told me what happened from his end of things…" I looked at Morgan who was listening closely, "He… uhm said that the texts to Val we a mistake and when he was texting her he thought it was you… and he said that he didn't know Val was coming over and he says she kissed him and he kissed her back, which he feels really bad about. But Morgan, he didn't cheat on you"

"Are you sure?" Morgan asked.

"I've never heard him sound so sad and upset" I said truthfully.

"Oh" Morgan sighed.

"He told me you were the best thing that ever happened to him" I smiled.

She sat up, slowly, "Really?"

"Yes"

Morgan just sat hunched over, her face in her hands.

"Can you at least go over and talk to him tomorrow?" I asked, carefully.

"Maybe" She sighed, before falling back onto her pillow and falling asleep. I climbed into bed with her and wrapped my arms around her, placing a gentle kiss on her head. I still felt awful about what happened.


*** Morgan's POV***


After I changed, I climbed into Brian's bed and just laid there. Every time I closed my eyes the events of that night replayed in my mind. I could hear Brian talking on the phone down stairs but I didn't care to listen.

I laid there thinking about what this year would be like, with college an all. I had honestly expected something like this to happen between Matt and I, good things can't last forever.
I saw the door swing open as Brian swiftly walked over to me.

"Morgan?" He whispered.

"Yeah?" I moaned slightly.

"I just talked to Matt" He said softly, sitting down on the bed, near me.

"Oh god" I spoke.

"He told me what happened from his end of things…" He looked down at me, I was curious as to what Matt would say. "He… uhm said that the texts to Val we a mistake and when he was texting her he thought it was you… and he said that he didn't know Val was coming over and he says she kissed him and he kissed her back, which he feels really bad about. But Morgan, he didn't cheat on you"

"Are you sure?" I asked. I didn't know what to believe. I wanted to believe Brian but reality was telling me not to.

"I've never heard him sound so sad and upset" He said sincerely.

"Oh" I sighed.

"He told me you were the best thing that ever happened to him" He smiled.

I was shocked, "Really?"

"Yes"

I sat there hunched over next to Brian with my face in my hands.

"Can you at least go over and talk to him tomorrow?" He asked.

"Maybe" I sighed, before laying back down and closing my eyes. I honestly didn't want to see Matt, the whole situation was sketchy. I didn't trust Matt, not after what happened. I'm so confused. I wanted to trust Matt but I felt like I couldn't. I wanted to believe that he didn't cheat on me but every time I do, It feel's wrong.

My thoughts drown my head, until I felt two strong arms wrap around me. Brian. He pulled me close to him before kissing my head gently. I felt a tear roll down my face, I just wish it was Matt.
