20- Wearing Our Vintage Misery

-Time skip a few weeks-

-Emerson's POV-

I woke up one morning, and it was just me and Destiny in the house. Sebastian was staying with Larisa, but us being alone meant that Kellin and Remington had left.

I slid out of bed and tapped Destiny, softly waking her up.

"Hey, is everything alright love?" She spoke and I smiled

"Did your bother tell you where he was going? They're gone" I spoke and she darted up, calling Kellin

-Destiny's POV-

I called Kellin, in fear of his safety

Destiny  Kellin

Hello my sweet sister that I most definitely accidentally forgot to tell I was leaving. What's up?

Where the fuck are you?

California

Why?

Promise not to tell anyone?

Not even Emerson?

You can tell Emerson, but you can't tell dad, sebastian, or the band

Okay, spit it out you fucker.

Remington and I are getting secretly married in Cali.

Oh my god!

What? Is that bad?

You didn't think to tell anyone? When did you get engaged?

Like a few weeks ago. It was subtle and sweet and the details are unnecesary for your innocence

Okay, ew. Moving on. When do you think you'll be back?

Sometime next week, don't stress about it too much okay?

Okay, I love you

I love you too kiddo, now go spend some time with Emerson

I hung up the phone and sighed.

"Is everything okay my love?" Emerson spoke and I sighed

"Yeah, peachy. Our brothers are just way too good at keeping secrets" I spoke and he laughed

"What are you implying?" He spoke and I giggled

"I'm not implying anything. I'm saying that our brothers got engaged three weeks ago and are currently in California getting married" I spoke and Emerson's jaw dropped to the floor

-Emerson's POV-

"No fucking way, my brother wouldn't do that. He can't even be quiet for five minutes let alone keep a secret that big" I spoke and she laughed

"Way, apparently the night that we got back from my moms funeral Remington proposed, and now they're in another state getting married" She spoke and I just laughed

I was happy for Remington and Kellin, but it started to make me think, if they're getting engaged this quickly, am I doing something wrong?

"Whatcha thinking about love?" She spoke and pulled me out of my thoughts

"Nothing important" I lied, hoping she'd believe it.

"You are a horrible liar, come here, tell me what's wrong" She spoke, sitting down on the bed.

I followed and sat down next to her

"I'm just worried I guess" I spoke as honestly as possible.

"Worried about what my love?" She spoke and I laid my head down on her lap.

"They got engaged three weeks ago, kinda makes me feel like I'm not doing enough" I spoke and she pulled me close.

"Emerson, baby. You know I wanna spend the rest of my life with you, no matter what. If you wanna get married that's cool, if not, that's cool too. I just wanna spend eternity with you, no matter the circumstances" She spoke and I felt myself blush

"You really mean that?" I spoke.

"Yes, of course. I love you" she spoke and I smiled

"I love you too. Forever and always"
