Disclaimer: I own nothing but…the plot of this story. And I might have 35 cents but….that belongs to the troll who lives in the couch. So…ya...I own nada

A/N: Ok…so this is my first fic so forgive me for any errors.

Ok…not really good with the whole summary thing here so I will give it a shot.

What if Matty had never told Gabby about his biological father and instead asked Jenna to go with him. What happens when Jenna finds out that he lied to her and what will happen with Jenna and Matty will their friendship survive this or will they finally realize that there is more to them than just friendship.

Here it was Friday night and here I am staring at my laptop. I had given Matty the information that he needed about his biological father. I knew that I didn't have to do this for him but…there were two things I knew for sure about Matty one was that finding his biological father meant a lot to him but…I also knew that he wasn't going to do this on his own and he sure as hell wasn't really to talk to Gabby about this. I already felt like crap for telling her about the hook up but to be honest I did tell Matty that secrets do have their way of coming out especially in this school. I hope he takes my advice and tells Gabby what was really going on. Gabby is a great girl and she deserved to know. I had thought about telling her myself but…I knew it wasn't my place this was something that Matty had to do on his own. My thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking on my door. I looked over at the clock and let out a sigh as I closed my laptop and got up to greet whoever was at my door at midnight.

"What do you want?" I say confirming my suspicion I mean really who the hell else would it be?

"Uh…sorry is this a bad time?" Matty asked with his hands in his pockets and a confused look on his face.

"No…I take it judging by the fact that you are standing here at midnight you have not told Gabby." I tell him as I sit down on my bed.

"You're right I haven't told her yet and to be honest I am not sure that I want to." He says taking a seat next to me on the bed while giving me a look. One that I knew all too well...

"Matty…What gives?" I ask getting up from the bed and standing in front of him. He gives me a confused look; I ignore it and continue with what I want to say. "You have told me numerous times of how much you like Gabby but…you come to my house in the middle of the night to tell me about your biological parents. We hooked up for like a split second…you get pissed off when I tell her the truth only because I had thought you had already told her. It's not that I don't mind you coming to me about your parents. After all we are friends and that is what friends are for. But…for a guy who claims to care about his current girlfriend sure does spend a lot of time with his ex-girlfriend." While I have a lot more to say I leave it at that and let him process what I have just said to him.

Matty lets out a sigh and rubs his hands on his jeans. He really wasn't sure of what to say. Jenna was right he should've told Gabby but every time he has tried to tell her he has chickened out. She was right he shouldn't be spending all of his time with her when he has a girlfriend.

"I guess I feel more comfortable around you than I do Gabby and like you said we are friends and friends come to each other when they have a problem. See…Jenna the thing is that you are the only person I have let in completely and well it's kind of hard to just not tell you things."

Okay…I can tell there is something else up that he isn't telling me. But…I let it go…. knowing that when he is ready he will tell me.

"Still doesn't explain why you are here." Matty gets up and pulls a piece of paper out of his back pocket and hands it to me. I look at the writing on the paper and then back at him.

"So…after checking him out on Facebook like you told me to with the help of google I got his address. I was wondering and I know that this is like a lot to ask from you considering everything that has happened. As you pointed out he lives around the same area as where we will be for spring break. And…well since you are the only one that knows and well…I don't think I can do this on my own. Would you go with me to see if this guy is actually my biological father?"

I hand him the piece of paper and shake my head and take a seat on my bed as I try to figure out what he is asking of me. Part of me is screaming hell yes…I will go but…the rational side of me knows that this is only going to end up being a complete disaster.

"Matty…I really don't think that…" I try to explain to him how this is a really bad idea but he cuts me off.

"Come on Jenna please I don't think I can do this on my own. I need you." He says sitting next to me and giving me his puppy dog eyes. I let out a sigh knowing that I am probably going to regret this but…he knows I can't resist his damned puppy dog eyes.

"Ok…fine I will go but…under one condition." I tell him.

"Sure…anything." He says nodding at me. I take a deep breath and begin to tell him.

"You have to tell Gabby the truth." And there it was. Matty looks at me in at first in shock and then there is this other look that I have never seen before it was one that was mixed with fear and something else that I couldn't quite figure out. Matty lets out the breath that he had been holding.

"Fine…" He says which throws me off. Here I was thinking that he was going to protest but nope he agrees.

"Are you sure?" I ask him part of me wondering if he was really going to do this or not.

"Yea…I mean you're right I have to tell Gabby what's going on." He simply says as he looks me in the eyes. I can feel the air suddenly get heavy as he moves closer.

"Matty…" I start to say but I am quickly cut off.

"Can I stay with you tonight?" He simply says his voice is thick with emotion and I am torn as to what to say. Part of me knows this is a really bad idea for him to stay here and the other is telling me to let him stay he needs a friend more than anything right now.

"I don't know…I mean is that really a good idea?" I have this gut feeling that something bad is going to happen if I let him stay.

"Jenna…it's one night I'll even sleep on the floor if it makes you feel better. All I want to do is forget about everything and spend one night with my best friend." Matty pauses for a minute. "So…what do you say?" he asked holding his hand out and giving me the cutest smile.

"Ok…fine." I let out a sigh and take his hand. This was the worst thing I could've done because I can feel myself being pulled towards him. I close my eyes taking in his scent. My eyes shoot open when I feel his breath on my lips. "You need a pillow and blanket." I quickly say as I jump up off the bed leaving a very dumbfounded Matty sitting there. "I think there are some in the hall closet let me go check." I say as I leave the room. This was just all too weird this is now the second time that something has almost happened. I rummage through the linen closet in hopes of finding some blankets.

"Hey kiddo." My dad says as he walks past me.

"Hey…dad do we have any extra blankets or pillows?" I asked seeing as the linen closet was a bust.

"There might be some up in the attic I don't know." He says but pauses when something doesn't seem right. "If you're cold I can turn the heat up." He offers.

"No…no it's fine dad I will just check the attic." I tell him not really wanting to explain to him why Matty's here.

"Ok…well….tell Matty hi for me." He says giving me a knowing smile as he walks off. It was times like this that I was really thankful that my dad wasn't one of those intrusive parents.

When I get back to my room I find a sleeping Matty on my bed. I let out a small chuckle realizing just how cute he looks. I quietly walk over and pull the covers over him trying not to wake him. I grab my pillow and blanket and try to make myself as comfortable as possible on the floor. After a few minutes of tossing and turning I come to realize that my floor is nowhere near comfortable to sleep on so…I get up and move to the chair that is in the corner of my room. Which I probably should've gone with in the first place. I go to reach for my iPod when I realize that it is sitting on the nightstand next to Matty. So…I ever so quietly walk over and grab it.

"Don't go." I hear Matty say as he reaches for my arm.

"I have to." I simply tell him as I remove his hand from my arm.

"I love you Jenna." I am taken aback by what he said. I start to say something in protest when I am met with a snoring Matty. Ok…well we will just leave that alone for now. I take my fingers and place them to my lips before placing them on his forehead. "I love you too." I whisper as I forego the whole chair thing and just sleep on the couch.

When I wake up the next morning I am awakened by the smell of bacon and eggs. I rub the sleep out of my eyes as I try to figure out why I am on the couch and then it hits me Matty. I get up and make my way to where my mom is making breakfast.

"Morning honey." She says turning to me and handing me a cup of coffee as I take a seat at the island.

"Morning." I say looking around trying to figure out if Matty was here or not.

"He's in the shower." My mother points out.

"Who?" I ask in confusion but then it hits me she must be talking about Matty.

"Matty that's who." My mom says giving me one of her looks.

"Nothing happened I swear." Ok…not really sure why I am trying to rationalize with my mother. This is the woman that let Matty move in when we were dating. I mean why care now if something happened or not.

"Care to talk about it?" My mom asked handing me a plate of food.

"Not really." I say shaking my head. Honestly there was nothing to talk about.

"Okay." She says turning back to the stove. Okay I'm kind of impressed here. I mindlessly poke at the food on my plate. Trying to figure out what happened last night. Did he still have feelings for me? Well…obviously he did I mean come on you don't tell someone you love them without meaning it right? Whether or not he meant it I wasn't going to bring it up he had Gabby now and until that changed I'm just going to be the supportive friend and push my feelings and last night's events to the back of mind and not think of them again.

"What smells good?" Matty says as he takes a seat next to me.

"Bacon and eggs here I'm not hungry." I say pushing the plate towards him and walking away.

"I think you should talk to her." Lacy says motioning towards her room. Matty gives her a quick nod and goes after Jenna.

When I walked into my room I am assaulted with his scent I close my eyes and inhale his scent. I shake my head and grab some clothes hoping a nice warm shower will calm me down. When I open the door I am met face to face with Matty.

"Can we talk?" Matty says as I just stand there trying to figure out what he wants.

"I think we said enough last night." I tell him as I try to push my way out when he stops me.

"Jenna do not do this." He says looking me in the eye.

"Do what?" I ask as I am finding it very hard to breath.

"Don't run away. Look…did I say something wrong? I mean I thought everything was cool and now it's like you are trying to avoid me." Matty says with a genuine concern in his voice which makes it really hard to lie to him like I wanted to.

"Matty you told me that you loved me. This would've been fine and dandy if you were not with Gabby." I tell him throwing all caution to the wind. I carefully watch Matty's expression change and it is one that I have not seen before.

"You said it back." He simply states as he loosens his grip on me.

"You were awake?" I say in shock. Matty gives me a nod. As my hand instantly flies to my mouth in shock so…he is still in love with me well…this just makes things awkward. I take a deep breath trying to figure out how to respond to this. "You…know what I can't do this." I tell him as I walk out of the room.

Ok…so there you have it. I hope you all liked it.

Ok…so up next

Matty tells Gabby that he is adopted but…forgets to tell her that Jenna is going with him to talk to his biological father. Meanwhile Gabby offers an olive branch to Jenna and they work on rebuilding their friendship.
