TW: Sexual references and swearing 
Aleds POV 
I love that Elle and Tao are getting married and it's fine that they decided to do that but I guess it just hurts that little but more.
"Want a cookie?" Elle asks me.
"No thanks." I smile.
She walks away, her beautiful ring shimmering in the light, how lucky she is to be getting married. If only I could always feel that way for others, or have the right queues I guess?
I mean I love my friends a lot but I've never loved, loved anyone, other than Harry. He's gone now. I don't love him, right?
Well I don't remember actually loving him. I think. I mean he was always kind to me but I never felt like sexual attraction unless he forced it onto me. I think?
This is too much for me right now. I'll deal with this later.
"Aled, earth to Aled." Tao says waving a hand in my face. 
"Yeah, yes." I say snapping out of my thoughts.
"Are you having the cookies Elle made?" He asks. 
"I'm good but please tell me if it's good." I say forcing a smile.
"Ok, we'll leave some for you though."
Taos POV 
What's up with Aled? He has been weird ever since I proposed to Elle like three minutes ago. I know it's been hard for him ever since him and Harry broke up but that doesn't mean he should shut everyone out.
I walk towards the bench and start handing out the cookies to everyone. I don't know where a Elle went but I'm pretty sure she is getting ready for the night considering she just cried because I proposed. I don't know but she'll be out soon.
"Can I have a cookie?" Nick asks. 
My eyes fling towards Nick who's smiling at the tray waiting for me to give him a cookie. 
"Ugh fine." I laugh, handing him a cookie. 
Nick starts to eat the cookie and I give Charlie a looks asking if he wants some and he just shakes his head. I place the play of cookies onto the kitchen bench and walk towards the chairs and sit.
"So how's things been Charlie?" I say as I sit next to him. 
The commotion around the room makes it a little hard to talk to someone specifically but Charlie speaks loud enough for me to hear him.
"Yeah good I guess, my brothers living with us now but he's at either his boyfriends or my Mums house." He says. "Works been same old same old but everything been good how about you."
"Well amazing, I'm going to get married but before that everything has been flying past, buying the ring and all." I say.
We continue to chat until Tara calls a meeting in the lounge room.
"Guys emergency meeting NOW!" Tara exclaims. 
"Yes?" Everyone says confused.
"Ok!" She exclaims.
She claps her hands excitedly and turns the Television on like she's a five year old ready to watch Disney. 
"A group Holiday!" She smiles.
"But where would we go?" Charlie asks.
"I don't know maybe Paris again?" She says. "Relive all those memories."
I look over to Charlie who tenses up at the sound of Tara's words. I mean a lot happened last time we were at Paris when we were only teenagers but maybe it would be better if we didn't go.
"Maybe the Maldives?" I suggest. 
Charlie looks at me gratefully and smiles. I smile back to show him I have his back. 
"Ok let's check the Maldives." Tara says.
She searches the Maldives up on the tv through her phone. A beautiful place with houses on water.
"That looks amazing!" She says clapping her hands.
"Ok well we should move on but we should organise it!" She says.
Everyone agrees with Tara and we all go back into the kitchen.
Nicks POV
I'm really excited for this holiday. The only thing I'm worried about is tonight, Tao just proposed which is the highlight of the night, I'm so happy for them and that they will get to be married because they are literally soulmates. 
Although, Charlie has been extremely off and quiet tonight and so has Aled. Tara and Darcy are talking to everyone as usual and I'm trying to talk to everyone as well but I don't think everyone is wanting to talk to me.
I sit on the benches and Charlie excuses himself to the bathroom. He scurry's towards the bathroom and closes the door quickly.
I hope everything is going to go okay but to be honest our friend group is known for things to go bad. 
Aleds POV 
Everything is pissing me off at the moment! 
Everyone's happy but I don't want to be happy!
"Aled what's wrong?" Tao asks me.
"NOTHING OK!" I scream. "IM HAPPY FOR YOU AND ELLE BUT YOU DONT NEED TO RUB IT IN I GET IT BUT I AM SINGLE UNLIKE EVERYONE HERE!" 
Anger pours out of my body as I scream at all of my friends.
"YOU JUST DON'T GET IT!" 
Tears pour out of my face as I see the looks on my friends faces. I just screamed at them for nothing. Nothing. 
Charlie's POV
"I, I need to go." Aled mumbles as he runs out of the house.
I look over to Nick and he gives me a ten minute story with just his eyes and I know that Aled has just gone off at the whole group.
I run out of the door and catch up to Aled just as he is about to get inside of his car.
"ALED!" I scream.
Aled stops before he gets into the car and stares at me as I run towards him. 
"Please don't leave!" I say as I get to him. "Just because you let your anger out doesn't mean you have to leave we're all here for you."
"I." He stutters. "I'm sorry, it's just all been-."
I cut him off by hugging him tightly and holding him to show I'm here for him. After he calms down we come back inside. Aled apologises to everyone and specifically to Elle and Tao.
The night goes on pretty well and I actually can't wait for that group holiday if he ever have one.
