( 📍 ) ANGELINA & JENNIFERS APARTMENT

THE TWO GIRLS SAT AT THE ISLAND, LISTNEING TO THE SAMPLE for probably the hundredth time "i feel like i want the guitar on the bridge to be louder" angelina sighed

she spent the last two weeks since the party in the studio writing and recording. every thought she had bubbled up from her and matt's whatever it was poured into it.

and now she was working on the final song.

it was the last song of her album, finally completed and in her drafts for testing. "no, i don't think so.. i like it being in the background more" jennifer explained

jennifer, had the complete opposite upbringing than angelina.

where angelina stayed home being forced to practice the piano. jennifer was out on private jets with her famous father, being whisked away to meet celebrities and be in the studio when history was happening.

"anyways, screw the sample." jennifer began, raising an eyebrow at her best friend "you and matt? what the hell happened two weeks ago? you both just-" "stormed off?" angelina answered for her

"yeah! i mean, i know you brought up how much you had been seeing of each other and it scared you, but.. you know its okay to tell me what you really feel about it" that was the other thing about jennifer.

angelina, although both of her parents worked with the human brain and emotions, she didnt ever have their time to really talk about her own, every inch of her soul was poured into her music.

jennifer spent so much time with her dad that she couldn't keep a situation un-talked about. she had to work it out and hear how she messed up or how the other person felt.

they were soulmates, two pieces of the same cloth. one rough and one smooth.

an exhausted sigh left angelinas lips as she turned to her friend "i hate matt."

it was three words that shocked her best friend to her core, because the three words were a lie.

(📍) ANGELINA'S POV

AS SOON AS THE WORDS LEFT MY MOUTH i knew jennifer wouldn't believe me. she further confirmed that as a smirk spread across her face. a cocky smirk that she used to give her boyfriend before they broken up

"you hate him? your so stupid sometimes" she laughed out, shaking her head "i do hate him!" i attempted to protest. yet again the stupid smile was on her face.

i hated that she knew me so well, like the back of her hand or like her favorite movie that she could recite word for word.

"no you don't lina, you're just saying that because.." she paused and looked at me, wanting me to help her finish the sentence "oh come on! im not the one with doctors for parents"

"im not just saying it, jen. he got scared how is that my fault? and then he blamed me for simply pointing it out?" i scoffed out.

maybe it was simple anger that made he say the three words, maybe it was the fact that in a way we were both helping each other.

"was he sleeping with anyone else regularly? texting them? smoking with them?" jennifer asked, a now sorrowful look covered her face, as if she was now feeling sorry for me

"i don't know, and honestly i don't really care. its all stupid to me. if im gonna be casual with you, at least say its casual. put some sort of label on it so im not left in the dark wondering what we are." i began

"its whenever boundaries aren't set that lines start to get blurred and then thats when the yelling happens, when a boundary you didnt even know was in place gets crossed, someone gets hurt."

jennifer placaed her hand on top of mine, giving it a small squeeze "matt isn't.. him, he isn't the man you wrote casual about. but i do agree, he should have at least set a boundary, he shouldn't expect you to read his mind."

her hand removed itself from mind as i played the sample again "yeah, it definitely needs at least something... maybe an adlib?" she joked

"yeah, for sure" jennifer agreed

(📍) MATTHEW'S POV

NICK, AND CHRIS HAD BEEN SILENT since i demanded we leave the party two weeks ago. they hadn't asked one question. it was their silence that suddenly bothered me.

not the fact that they were actually quiet for once, i was enjoying it more than ever. but the thing about the silence was that i knew that behind it were so many questions and wonders that they just assumed they wouldn't get the answers to.

i was happy they assumed that, it meant for once their assumptions were right.

but i guess my peace and quiet was soon over, chris looked up at me from his phone. his eyes glancing at nick before he opened his mouth to speak

"so.. larrys party was fun, right?" he asked, a stupid grin spreading across his face. he found it assuming that i was slightly upset about it.

i made it clear from the beginning with angelina, i didnt do casual. i didnt want to do that shit and yet she still found someway to turn simple multiple hookups into exactly that.

casual.

the word and the tune of her song rang wild in my head as if it was stuck on a loop that i wished would shut up.

i scowled a bit, looking at chris who hadn't lost the idiotic grin off of his face "yeah, it was cool i guess" i shrugged

"yeah, before or after you ran away from your partner and made us loose the game as well, clover is pissed." chris explained

"you could've stayed? you stay at her place all the time why not just stay again?" i asked

"uhh because aspen was gonna stay the night, duh" he responded.

aspen was a girl i slept with for a small while after destiny. redheaded and confident, she was nice. however, like angelina, she wanted to be more than that.

"so youre just gonna skip over the part where you threw a tantrum and stormed out of the party?" nick finally spoke up

"i didnt throw a tantrum. i just told yall we are leaving and we left." i explained trying to not sound as upset as i felt

"right, it was so a tantrum." nick rolled his eyes, a laugh escaping his mouth "no, nick. it wasnt. i told you guys to just fuck off about it, so do that okay? fuck off."

i hate to admit it but i did let my anger get the best of me often after destiny and i broke up.

nick and chris sighed, the silence filling the house once again and a slight guilt filled my throat. it wasnt their fault i was mad. they'd done nothing but respect my wishes after the breakup

"she made a joke.. that we had.. hooked up 9 times in the past two weeks. i got pissed off and we started arguing. i blamed her" i said softly

it sounded so much worse now that i said it out loud. i was the one that wanted to hookup each time, maybe it was her once.

and i blamed her for it.

"i knew she would get attached, and she did. how is that my fault?" i asked, my hands going up defensively

"uhh, wow.. okay. so you got mad at a joke?" chris asked slowly.

nick burst out laughing, harder than id probably seen him laugh since we were kids "what?" i asked

after a while of his uncontrollable laughter he sat up straight, siping a tear from the corner of his eye

"matt, its time you come face to face with reality because this whole moping around, no casual relationships, boo, destiny is gonna come back to you bs that you spit? its exactly that, bullshit." he began, and now it was my turn to be silent

"aspen was a nice girl, but she was needy, or at least, thats what you said. so you broke it off with her. and now angelina, she seems cool. matches your weird no casual relationship energy and you got mad at her over a joke?"

"to me matt, you're so scared of moving on but you need to. because destiny is not coming back. not anytime soon at least. she broke up with you for a reason we don't even know and you get mad at everyone else for it." he finally stopped and looked at me

"so you better get over yourself and this fucking stupid fear that you have soon, because.. angelina and her friends are throwing a party in a week and we're going, whether you like it or not. "
