Chapter 21
Matt sighed. He really didn’t feel like doing anything, he was tired and he wanted to go to sleep. He looked at Jeff who was waiting for him to answer his question. Matt thought about it, he knew Jeff wasn’t going to take no for an answer.
“Matt are you gonna come or not?” Jeff asked standing up as he looked back at Matt.
p> Matt shrugged, “I might as well, you’ll just make me go anyways...”
“Great! Get dressed, I’ll call Jay and Adam and let them know so I can find out what time we should go! Yes, Matt dude we’ll have the best time I swear!” Jeff said laughing as he left for the kitchen.
Matt sighed as he stood. He went to his closet and grabbed some clean clothes so he cold get dressed. Then he went into the bathroom to get changed.
After a few minutes Matt came out to see Jeff lying across the couch, talking on the phone. Jeff waved as he continued talking to the person on the phone. Matt rolled his eyes. Jeff was most likely talking to Jay. Matt went over to his closet and took out his shoes.
He knew that Jeff had hung up when he heard him speak, “Matt buddy, dude, please tell me that’s not what your wearing to go clubbing is it?” Jeff asked staring at Matt like he wore a Halloween costume or something.
Matt looked down at the jeans and the wrinkled t-shirt he was wearing, “What is wrong with my outfit?”
Jeff chuckled, as he walked towards Matt and grabbed a section of his shirt, “First of all the only thing wrong with your outfit is that its your outfit, God Matt dude do I need to do everything for you? Let me help you figure out what to wear!”
Matt chuckled staring at Jeff, “Wait a minute, lemme get this straight! This is coming from the guy who wears tye die and has multi- colored hair.... Jeff what would the fashion designer like for me to wear?” Matt asked laughing.
Jeff narrowed his eyes to him, “vwell let me see what I have to vwork vwith!” Jeff said in a French like fashion designers voice, as he began rummaging through Matt’s closet.
Matt chuckled. “You’re a sicko Jeff!” Matt said laughing as he pulled his shirt off and threw it onto the floor near his closet.
After a few minutes Jeff had a killer outfit together for Matt to wear. Jeff handed Matt the clothes, “Now please, Matt I’m begging you go get changed! Quick!” Jeff said staring at Matt. Matt took the clothes and looked at Jeff. Matt chuckled and left once again for the bathroom.
About 10 minutes later Matt returned and stood in front of the fireplace, Jeff looked up from the paper he was reading and stared up at Matt.
“Is this any better?” Matt asked looking at Jeff for his approval.
Jeff stared at Matt and didn’t speak.
Matt groaned and started to spin and twirl like a model and then he looked back at Jeff, “Well?” Matt asked again impatiently.
Jeff shrugged, “Well its better then before! I guess it’ll have to do!” Jeff said standing.
Matt rolled his eyes as he started to sit. Jeff stood just then and glanced at him.
“Why you sitting?” Jeff asked looking at Matt.
“Why shouldn’t I?” Matt asked as he leaned back trying to get comfortable.
“Cause we’re going!” Jeff said as he started for the door.
“Now?” Matt asked as he stood and followed Jeff.
Jeff was in the hallway and was smoothing his hair in the mirror as he glanced at Matt, “Yeah now!”
“Its early! Its only 5:57pm,” Matt said staring down at his watch.
“Duh!” Jeff said looking at Matt.
“So how come were leaving now if its so early?” Matt asked staring a little confused at Jeff.
“Cause, Matt dude were going now so we can have dinner with Jay and Adam, and maybe get in a little gambling before we hit the clubs! Come on lets go!” Jeff said grabbing Matt’s arm and opening the door.
Matt groaned and let Jeff pull him out into the hallway. Jeff let go of Matt’s arm and they went down the hall to Jay and Adams room.
Adam answered the door slapping both of them five as he let them inside.
“Hey, Jeff, Matt!” Jay said buttoning his shirt and turning to smile at them
“Hi!” Jeff said as he sat on the edge of Jay’s bed.
“Hey.” Matt said smiling at Jay and shrugged as he went to sit next to Jeff.
Adam walked over to a dresser and put on some cologne.
“So are you guys pumped for an awesome night or what?” Adam asked as he turned to look at them giving them the thumbs up.
“Totally man!” Jeff said slapping him five once again.
Adam laughed and glanced at Matt, Matt sighed, “Yeah!” He lied.
Adam was really hyper and he probably hadn’t had a drink yet, great Matt thought so not looking forward to being around Adam knowing he was probably going to get drunk.
Matt sighed and looked up at Jay as he spoke to him. “Matt I see Jeff helped you pick out an outfit!” Jay said chuckling as Matt looked down at his outfit. He was dressed in a black pair of jeans and a dark blue tie dyed top with a long black jean jacket over it.
Matt groaned as he fell back on Jays bed.
They all laughed except for Jeff, and Matt felt more shitty now then he had before.
“I think he looks good in those clothes!” Jeff said looking from Adam to Jay and back again.
Jay stared at Jeff and then at Matt. “You would! He looks like you dude,” Jay said as he went to his own closet and started searching through it for something Matt could wear.
“And what is wrong with looking like me or wearing what I wear?” Jeff asked watching Jay.
Jay laughed and glanced back at Jeff. “Adam, Matt dude do you guys believe this?” Jay asked as Matt started to laugh.
Jeff elbowed him obviously not finding the conversation funny anymore. “I think Matt looks fine, and I will have you know I spent a lot of money for that outfit when I bought it and I was nice enough to let my friend, Matt here wear it!” Jeff said shaking his head trying to look more confident then he was.
“Don’t do him any favors again Jeff!” Adam said as he and Jay burst out into laugher. Even Matt couldn’t help it, seeing Jeff try to be all snotty about his clothes was hilarious to Matt and he had to laugh.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah lets all have a good laugh at Jeff!” Jeff said standing.
Adam came over and stood in Jeff’s way as Jeff started for the door.
“Jeff man, were just playin!” Jay said as he threw a shirt and some pants to Matt.
“Whatever!” Jeff said as went back to the edge of Jay’s bed and sat down.
Matt sighed and stood up holding the outfit in his hands. “I’ll be right back...” Matt said leaving for the bathroom.
Matt was beginning to feel like a puppet, he was pulling the shirt Jay had lent him over his head, when he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror and realized he suddenly missed Jessica a lot! He knew she was busy tonight and he knew he couldn’t see her tomorrow, but he suddenly longed to hold her. He closed his eyes and thought of her for a few moments.
