ValleyVille

Bachelor Party

Zephyrs POV
I walked up to Patch as his mom walked away. I hugged him tightly. "Woah. Are you ok baby?" He asks hugging back. I looked up at him. "I love you so much" I say. "I love you too" he says with a laugh. I stared into his eyes for a moment. "Baby, is something up?" He asks. "Ill talk to you later at home" I say. He nods.

We're getting ready for bed. He laid down next to me and rolled over to face me. "You wanna talk now?" He asks. I nod. "Marshall told me about what happened to you after I threw you out" I say. His eyes widened. "He did?" He asks. I nod. "Im sorry honey" I say. "No, dont be. You had every right. Your life was falling apart just as much as mine was. You were just grasping for some control and you deserved to have some" he says. "But not at the cost of what I did to you" I say putting my hand on the side of his face. He smiled. "Its alright baby. Misty and mom helped me a lot with the things I didnt understand. My dad helped me become a good father and Marshall helped me both physically with babysitting, and mentally with my breakdowns" he says. I scooted a little closer to him. "You didnt deserve to feel that way." I say. "Neither did you" he says. I smiled. "Im honestly blown away with how well you did. Wyatt is an amazing person. You did good. I wish I wasnt such a bitch so I could have been there" I say. He kissed me lightly. "You came back. Thats enough. Besides, we can always try again" he says. My eyes widened and he chuckled. "Only if you want to" he says. I smiled, bit my lip, and looked down. "Id like that" I say looking back up at him. He smiled. "How would you react if I shaved?" He asks. I was taken back. "Uh... I dont know" I say. "Ive been considering" he says. "Well I can tell you, if it gets any longer, Im gonna make fun of you. I like it shorter" I say. He nods. "I know. Are you ready for your bachelorette party?" He asks. "I dont know. I let Misty do it" I say. "Bad choice. Good luck with that. Im sure Marshall will find some pub for us guys tomorrow night" he says. "No girls. You have a bad track record. I know from experience" I say poking him. He laughed. "No girls, I promise. Unless Misty brings you there" he says. I smiled and kissed him. "Goodnight Patch. I love you" I say. "Goodnight Zephyr. I love you too" he says.

Patchs POV
"Just dont kill me" I say. "I cant do that. Then I cant trip you down the isle" Marshall says. "Excuse me?" I ask. "Come on, we gotta get the boys" he says. "Who is that?" I ask. "Your friends" he says. "What friends? I dont have any friends" I say. "Sure you do, or you did. They still consider you a friend so we're going out with them" he says. "Still dont know who 'them' is" I say. "Cole, Connor, and Zane" he says. My eyes widened and I looked down. I havent talked to them in forever. At least, not long enough to call it a conversation. The conversation we had was when I asked them to be my best men. "Are you sure about this?" I ask getting in the car. "Definitely" Marshall says.

Zephyrs POV
"Your friend is concerning" Steel says. "Shes my sister in law" I say. "Thats worse" Steel says. I smiled. "Shes cool. Come on, we gotta pick up your bitch from the train station" I say. "Dont call her that" Steel says.

"So, whats her name?" I ask. "Jaclyn" Steel says. "Howd you get your name? Its really cool" Misty says. "My parents each got to name one of us. My dad named me and then my mom hated it so I was already on her shit list since birth" Steel says. "You know thats not true" I say. "The name part is" Steel says. The train pulled up and a few people got off. I dont know why we have a train station. No one ever comes and stays in ValleyVille. I guess saying that, even in my mind, makes me a hypocrite though. Misty smacked the back of my neck. "Ow!" I say. "Sorry! You weren't moving. You cant die the day before your wedding" Misty says. "Thanks for the concern" I say rubbing my neck. "Jack!" Steel called. A woman walked up to us. "Hey babe" she says. Steel hugged her. "Jack, this is Zephyr, and thats her friend Misty" Steel says. "Nice to meet you" Jaclyn says. "Yeah, you too" Zephyr says. "Can we go now?" Misty asks. "You're impatient" I laughed. "I dont get many days off and when I do, I have to clean the house. This has given me more time to have fun, so lets go" Misty says. I laughed and we walked to the car.

We got in the car. Misty is driving, Im in the passenger seat, Steel and Jaclyn are in the back. "Ok Misty, where are we going?" I ask. "We, are going to the outskirts of town to do the one thing every person not involved hates" Misty says. "Excuse me?" I ask. "We're going bar hoping. You ready to get white girl wasted!?" Misty asks. I looked back at my sister. We shrugged at each other. "Yeah!!" We yelled.

Patchs POV
"Why am I dressed like this?" I ask. "Because we, are going to the strip club" Marshall says. "What?!" I say. "Yep, now lets go. The boys are waiting" Marshall says.

The only one of them Ive actually talked to in the last eighteen years is Cole and thats because his daughter is dating my son. "So uh, how have you guys been?" I ask. "Good, I guess" Zane says. I turned to Marshall, who is driving. "Whyd you pick all the single people?" I ask. "Its not my fault all your old friends have terrible love lives" Marshall says. We all glared at him. "See. Something you all have in common. You all get mad at people who are right" Marshall says. I looked back at the boys who rolled their eyes. "I have a girlfriend. Actually. I just dont like the idea of marriage" Connor says. "Yeah, arent you with Jane?" Cole asks. Connor nods. "Shes nice. I dont think her son really likes me much" Connor says. "I dont think Spade likes anyone" I say. "Hows the orphanage running?" Cole asks looking at Zane. He shrugged. "Its running. Not much more to say. Im actually very happy without a girlfriend. I adopted my son and I havent had any issues raising him. We dont need girlfriends" Zane says. "Preach. My life got SO much better after I left my wife" Cole says. "You guys make me feel weird getting married" I say. "Think of it this way, you're doing better than we are" Zane says. "Thats true" Marshall says. I slapped his shoulder. "Hey! What? Its true!" He says. I sighed and turned back to the front. "So like... is she hot?" Zane asks. "Yeah, how far do you get?" Connor asks. "Wow, you guys haven't changed at all" I say. "Nope!" They said. We laughed. "Why are we having a bachelor party for one night? Isnt it usually more than one day. I know thats how it is for girls at least" Cole says. "Yeah well, we're broke and we live in ValleyVille of all places. We cant really do anything that fun" I say. "Thats true." Cole says. "We're here" Marshall says. "Im gonna get my ass beat later" I saygetting out of the car.

Later
"You went to a what?" Zephyr asks. "A strip club" I say falling face forward on the bed. "Im sorry baby. Please forgive me" I say. "Get up. You look stupid. I dont care. You're marrying me tomorrow. It wont happen again so Im glad you had fun" Zephyr says. "You dont seem very drunk" I say with a yawn. "Yeah thats because I actually hate vodka and I was busy talking with Jaclyn" She says. "But... thats how we met" I say. "I bought you a tequila shot babe. Thats how we met" she says. "Oh" I say. "Go to bed baby. Ill see you tomorrow" she says. "Not when you wake up though. Cant see the bride on the wedding day" I say. She smiled. "I love you" she says. "I love you too" I say.
