Let's Fake It Moonshine - Ace Merrill

I rest my case

Lexi, Connie and Jayme instantly tried to drag Luna away as she was unable to tear her eyes away from the girl currently kissing Ace.

*****

Ace quickly pushed the girl off as he shook his head at her.

"I'm sorry..." she whispered up at him.

Eyeball quickly appeared at his side as he pushed Ace backwards, so he could stand between the two.

"The fuck you go kiss him for?!" Eyeball snapped down at her.

Lola simply shook her head as she opened her mouth to talk but no words came out.

Ace ignored his best friend as he attempted to follow Luna and the other girls.

"Luna!" He attempted to shout out her name as he watched them get further away.

Until he saw Jayme coming storming back. Eagerly he attempted to stand straight as she came closer.

"Jayne help me that wasn't what it-"

His sentence was cut off as her hand collided with his face. Owing to the amount of alcohol he'd consumed Ace dropped to the floor from the slap as Jayme turned and walked back off to the girls.

Eyeball quickly gave him a hand up as he yanked Ace's arm around his shoulder.

"What the fuck happened?!" He snapped at his best friend.

Ace didn't respond as he watched the girls walking away.

"Guys?"

Eyeball spun himself and Ace as the other cobras all came outside.

"She fucking kissed him in front of Luna!" Eyeball snapped as he kept a firm hold on Ace and nodded at Lola.

"It was an accident!" Lola tried to defend herself as she saw the other guys crowd around her, all with the same harsh look on their faces.

"Leave her alone boys."

They all looked up as Betsy pushed her way through them.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me!" Eyeball exclaimed as he watched Betsy link her arm with Lola.

"I'm just helping out a fellow girl and showing Luna exactly what he is." Betsy spoke innocently as she looked over at Ace.

"A no good, lying cheat." She spat out.

Ace couldn't hold back. He half pushed himself away from Eyeball before throwing up in the middle of the streets.

"I rest my case." Betsy snapped as she walked off, dragging Lola with her.

Eyeball watched as Lola tried to turn and look at him but he focused his attention on Ace.

"We gotta get you home." He mumbled as Billy quickly came to his side and took Ace's other arm.

Together the group attempted to get Ace back home, even when he passed out in Billy and Eyeball's arms, they all attempted to carry him back.

*****

"I just don't think it what was it looked like." Connie mumbled as she sat with Jayme and Lexi on the sofa at Connie's house.

Luna was lying face down on the floor, her head pushed into a cushion as she groaned and grumbled.

"How was it not what it looked like?!" Jayme snapped at her. "Ace's mouth was on her mouth!"

"I meant in the way Ace had spent the entire night apologising to all the guys then us just to get five minutes to talk to her." Connie explained.

"Why would he do all that just to go kiss another girl?" Lexi asked.

"Because he's a dickhead that's why." Jayme snapped.

Luna grumbled into the cushion again.

"You really think he'd do it that quick?" Lexi asked Jayme.

"He did it though." Jayme scoffed out, crossing her arms.

"Did he?" Connie asked her. "Or was it her?"

"What's the difference?!" Jayme snapped.

"There's a big difference between him kissing her and her kissing him." Lexi spoke firmly.

"A kiss still happened and made that!" Jayme bit back as she gestured down to Luna, who groaned and grumbled into the pillow again.

*****

"Just get him in the shower." Eyeball snapped at Billy and Vince as they attempted to carry Ace up the stairs of his house.

"Charlie, Jack, go find the girls, they need this situation explained before Jayme starts seriously planning Merrill's death." Eyeball snapped.

"Fuzzy, food. Sober his ass up." He finished off as he sighed, before following Billy and Vince upstairs.

*****

"It's been done." Betsy spoke into the phone.

"You're a very clever girl aren't you?" Theodore's laugh came through the phone.

"Duh, now that money you promised me?"

"I'll have it sent to you when I see her for my own eyes." Theodore spoke firmly.

"She's as heartbroken as you asked for. She saw Ace and another girl with her own eyes."

"Well let's hope she's still as heartbroken when I swoop in and save the day aye."

"When do I get-"

Betsy's question was cut off as the phone went dead.

"You did all that for some money?" Lola asked her quietly.

Betsy shrugged it off. "A lot of money but who cares?"

"He really liked her though." Lola was feeling more guilt than before.

"He doesn't do feelings! Otherwise he wouldn't have left me in the lurch like a discarded tissue!" She snapped at her.

Lola shook her head. "So you and Ace didn't work out? That doesn't mean he can't be happy with someone else!"

"I made him happy!" Betsy shouted as she took a few steps closer to her angrily. "Just as Theodore will soon make her happy and the problems solved."

"You did it for her ex?"

Betsy scoffed. "I did it for the money."

Lola shook her head. "I can't believe I let you talk me into this..." she mumbled, growing more and more disgusted with Betsy by the second.

Betsy shrugged as she sat down. "Move on sweetheart, life's a bitch, you either bite back or get eaten."

"Guess I'll start calling you life then." Lola mumbled as she turned to walk out.

"The hell did you just say to me?!" Betsy snapped as she stood back up and walked over to Lola, who just shook her head at her.

"The guys were right. Ace did date a dragon bitch."

Betsy's hand collided with Lola's face.
