life
"My father's the biggest pain in the ass in the universe but he follows through for me. He's constantly getting me out of trouble so I'm grateful for him. His name is Jerry Collins. Yeah, yeah. I can see in your eyes that you recognize his name. Everyone does. He's, like, the second biggest name in TV hosts after Ryan Seacrest. As for my mom, well, you know, she's there. Used to be a model back in the golden days. Stella Kane, now Stella Collins. I'd rather not talk about her.

Then there's my little sister, Izzy. I really don't know where I'd be without her. I love that little obnoxious piece of pep. I'm very protective of her. Both of us got a puppy as an early christmas present. She named him Eminem, don't ask.

So I was born in Georgia, as you can probably tell from my southern drawl. We lived there until I turned 6 years old, and then my dad's career began taking off. They didn't want to raise us in New York so they picked Maryland. For some reason they think that New York is a scary place to raise kids, they don't even realize what it's really like here. Anyway, my dad got pretty busy landing reality tv shows and stuff so he's almost never home. That made my mom get pretty depressed 'cause of him and also she's too old to model now.

But whatever, I don't want to talk about her. Let's get back to me, I was popular upon arrival here. I just fit in right away, I got into the whole soccer thing, everything just kind of fit into place. Now I'm the captain of the varsity team, surrounded by pretty girls. Life is pretty good.

Well, it was except that this summer I was working for my dad as his assistant or something and I realized what a douche he is so I came back early. I made enough money to get an apartment and I'm eighteen now, so that's what I'm going to do. Meanwhile, I'm stuck being out of the loop at my house since nobody knows I'm home yet and I'm not sure if I'm ready to tell people."

”Well, normally people like me don’t have time for ruffians like yourself," Matt smiled with his eyes. He knew he wasn't a ruffian. (What even was a ruffian?) She wanted him. Right? He hated not knowing but he pretended he didn't. He couldn't think about it. Thinking about it would mean that he was a bad friend and although he was many things, one thing he prided himself on was his friendship with Oliver and Charlie. They would pick on each other and get annoyed from time to time, but at the end of the day they were really all he had. Well, them and Izzy. ”But for you I will generously make an exception.” A chuckle escaped Matt's lips. "How kind of you." He looked at her as she blinked, her eyes wide and playful. She fixed her hair and then put a hat over it. Did she do these things on purpose? Did she know how much they made him want her? Wait, what? No. He didn't want her. He didn't.

His eyes were still settled on her features when she gasped and glowered at him. All because he'd said a bad word. Did she ever do anything bad? Sometimes he wondered whether the whole innocent virgin thing was just an act but then again, she would have to be an amazing actress. ”First of all mister, I am not your honey.” He laughed. Mister? ”And second of all, if you expect to continue associating with me, you will have to be less crude! My virgin ears simply cannot take this abuse.” She pouted and Matt tried not to think about how cute she looked. "So even your ears are virgins?" He inquired out loud before leaning over, right next to her ears, dropping his voice to a mild whisper. "You've never even heard anything dirty?"

The girl leaned until her head was on his shoulder. It felt like it belonged there. ”Yeah, yeah…” Her voice was soft. ”I don’t think you’re an idiot Matt. I think you just are a little self centered sometimes… but we all are I guess.” Normally Matt would have tried to argue. Prove that he wasn't self-centered. But what was the point? He wasn't trying to sleep with her anymore and it was the truth. The words that left her mouth next made him more than a little uncomfortable. ”Do you like Anya? She seems so… crass. I think you could do better." Matt thought about it for a couple of seconds. Did he like Anya? Of course he did, but not in the way Lo was thinking. But what did she care? Did she care? There was only one way to find out. "Yeah, well. I really like her so back off." He growled, liking how protective his voice sounded.

When Lo closed her eyes he thought she was falling asleep. For some reason the thought of her drifting into dreams in his arms made him smile. But then she spoke again, he voice still as sweet as ever but sad. ”I miss being little. When no one had to worry about drugs or sex or who was dating who or any of that. When your biggest concern was getting in trouble for eating too many cookies, or fighting over toys. I miss being able to just be friends with everyone without all the… tension. I feel like I make new enemies every day.”

He remembered being little, watching his mother go through bottles, her eyes becoming empty shells, losing emotions. He remembered how he felt so confused when his father left for months and when his mother told him he wasn't coming back. He always did, though. Even when Matt no longer wanted him to. He remembered meeting Oliver, staying at his house all the time so he wouldn't have to be home cleaning up the messes his parents always left behind. He didn't say any of this, his arm simply went over her shoulder. "It'll get better. You'll see."
