Black Rose

Chapter 15

Ariel's POV

I awoke the next morning alone making me feel empty. I picked up my cloths and headed for the shower. The hot water soothed my muscles as I washed. I went down stairs and Brian was in the kitchen. "Good morning Kitten" he greeted me with a kiss and a cup of coffee. He's always so sweet. I thanked him sitting down at the table. We talked and a little while later the guys came down to join us. Matt wouldn't make eye contact with me. That's weird. " So what does everyone want to do today?" I asked. " Jimmy spoke up " I thought we could hang out at the lake and maybe chill in the game room later" " I like that" I said. Just then the doorbell rung and Matt got up to answer it. I wonder who's here, looking around the table the guys all had the same questioning expressions. Matt came back in with the same Blonde he was with in front of the studio. WFT! " Hey guys you remember Brittany" Matt said still not looking at me. she waved at everyone and then her eyes landed on me. She looked me up and down like I was an insect that needed to be squashed. " Who are you?" She asked. " Thats Ariel she's writing a piece on the band for Rock magazine" Matt said. Snorting she said " Hi, I'm Brittany Matt's girlfriend" I stopped breathing. Girlfriend? I looked at Matt his eyes were on the floor. My chest hurt, my stomach dropped, and my bottom lip trembled. Forcing a smile I shook her hand and said " Its a pleasure to meet you." I excused myself from kitchen making an excuse about needing to call home before we went to the lake. I locked myself in my room sitting on the floor and cried. Why does it hurt so much? I thought he didn't do relationships or was that just what he said to me? Did he have a girlfriend the whole time? I'm so stupid thats what I get for messing around with a Rock star. I heard a knock on my door. whipping my tears I answered and Matt pushed inside. "Matt what do you want?" I turned around I didn't want him to see my tears.

" I wanted to talk to you" he said. I couldn't hold it in. I whirled around to face him " Talk? Talk about what? How you used me? Lied to me? How you have a girlfriend? Or how about the fact that you invited her here to stay here hours after you slept with me?"

" I'm sorry, and she's not my girlfriend" he tried to defend himself. I scoffed

" Really? does she know that? You didn't correct her, and how did she know you were here if you didn't invite her? You know what it doesn't matter its my fault really I should have expected this kind of behavior from you. Just for one second I thought you were more than a f**k boy rockstar. My bad, it won't happen again. I didn't think we were serious or anything but I thought you had a little more respect for me than this. I will never be someone's side piece ever. I need you to leave me alone now. Stay away from me! Go back to your girlfriend we have nothing else to talk about." I was yelling now I didn't care who heard me. He stared at me for a minute and then walked out closing the door behind him. I sat on the bed and cried. I'm an i***t!
