When Stars Collide

Chapter Thirteen

*Matt*

I regret it soon as it slipped out of my mouth. It came out so harshly. I sounded cold hearted. Maybe I shouldn't have blown up in her face. Maybe? No I shouldn't have. She's right I had no right to try tell her what to do, we did just meet and I wouldn't like it either if someone told me what to do. I can be an asshole... Sometimes. I should've told her what we seen. This is such a bad start to a friendship although I kind of wish it could be more. Who knows. I was out of line. I should apologize, she probably hates me right now. I should give her time to cool down.

"You okay bro?" Carter asks while placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Oh. Yeah I'm good just got a lot on my mind." I reply with a slight smile.

"I think we all do." He says while patting my back and standing up. He walks to go get a water from our mini fridge. "So what happened when you tried stopping her. It's been a few days and she hasn't text any of us."

"I may have told her to lose my number." I reply quietly. He looks at me with a look of dissaproval. "I know. I know. I was out of line but what was I supposed to do. I couldn't exactly tell her, her boyfriend was cheating.. Or at least I thought he was cheating."

"Mmhmm." He says while raising an eyebrow.

"I thought we agreed we were gonna tell her sister..." I say while putting my head in my hands. "I messed up. A lot."

"And?" He says waiting patiently for me to figure out his point.

"I should probably go tell her and apologize and explain why I said what I said." I say questioningly.

"Yes." Carter says after I had my moment of relization. "While your at it tell her we're all sorry about this. You should be the one to tell her after all you are closest to her."

The phones ringing. All I could focus on was the ringing.

"Hey." A unfamiliar voice picks up the phone.

"Hey. Is Galaxy there or do I have the wrong number?" I ask anxiously.

"Yeah she is...." I hear a response. There's a brief silence. "But who is this?"

"Matthew Espinosa." I reply. "Who's this?"

"Rayne. You know her Boyfriend." He says making sure to get the point that he's her 'boyfriend.'

"I know so where is she?" I ask.

"She's sleeping right now. Why are you calling her? I thought you weren't friends anymore I'm not sure she wants to talk to you anymore." He says bluntly. Jerk. Keep it together Matt. I take a deep breath.

"I was just calling to apologize." I simply reply. While rolling my eyes. Maybe she doesn't want to talk anymore.

"I'll tell her you called." He says sounding annoyed. I hear a faint voice in the background and they have a conversation. I decide to eavesdrop. They talk quietly.

"Rayne. Who is that?"

"Nobody."

"Who. Is. That?" The voice sounds more stern

"Matt."

"He's not nobody. Pass me the phone."

"I'm sorry babe. I thought you didn't want to talk to him." He says softly. I think I now hate Rayne with a passion.

"Uhh hey." The soft voice replies; Galaxy.

"Hey." I reply quietly. There's a long awkward silence. "Sooo?"

"Sooo?" She says awkwardly.

"I just called to say...." I say awkwardly.

"Look Matt. Let's not do this on the phone. Just come over and bring the boys. I'll make something to eat and we can talk then." She says. "Be here around 6."

"Okay." I answer.

"Okay bye." She says quickly before hanging up. That went better than I thought. I better tell the boys. What time is it? 5. I send a quick group text to tell them what's going on. I begin to get ready. It's not long until they reply that they'll make it.

*Rayne*

Why the hell is he calling her. I thought she was done with him. I don't like any of them. Especially this Matt Espinosa. As long as they know Lexy is mine I guess I can deal with them.

"They're coming over for something to eat in an hour." I hear Galaxy call from upstairs. Fuck. "Try to be nice?"

"Galaxy. I don't think you should trust these guys. There's something a little unusual about them." I shout back.

"Rayne. Not now. We can talk later. Please just get ready. They're find they are pretty cool people. If you give them a chance you might just like them." She comes from behind and hugs me. I smile.

"Alright. As long as it makes you happy." I say while turning around and pulling her close. "You're such a beautiful girl. How did I ever get so lucky? I just want you to know I only have eyes for you. You're so special. I could never hurt you. I got you."

"I love you." She says softly.

"I love you more." I whisper while holding her tight.
