Closer☾(A Roadtrip Fanfiction)

Brooks POV~

The front door slammed and I saw an angry looking Gabby walking down the road. The kids were outside playing and I heard Rye sigh.

'What the hell' Jess said, we all went into the living room, Andy quickly came down the stairs and opened the front door, but she had gone.

'Okay what just happened' Jack asked, Andy turned around and rubbed his face

'She's gone, I fucked things up man' he looked at Rye

'I did tell you mate, I'm guessing she knows?' Rye asked and Andy nodded

'Right can someone explain what's happened please' Mikey stressfully asked

'In Glasgow, I um, got with someone, and she just found out and now we're here' Andy explained, Jack frowned

'Wait Glasgow? We were all together in Glasgow? Who was it' Jack said

'Samantha, I met her in the bar after you all left, I tried to leave but it got out of hand' Andy explained, Mikey gasped

'OH, oh wait. Samantha?' He said, we all frowned at him 'I started chatting with her and invited Andy over because her friends name sounded like Mindy' He explained, Ellie cut off his story

'You cheated on her? Seriously?' She looked at him in disgust

'Yes I know it's disgusting and I shouldn't have, but my priority right now is making sure she's okay, where can she have gone?' Everyone looked at each other shrugging

'I think I know' I said and Rye looked at me

'Right well I'll drive and see if we can find her, everyone else stay here' I grabbed my jacket and Rye got his keys. Andy went to leave but Jess held him back

'I think you're the last person she wants to see' she said and he looked down knowing she was right

'I'll text you when we find her' Rye said and we both left, we got in the car and pulled out the drive 'right where are we going?' Rye asked looking at me

'The flat'

It wasn't a long drive and when we got to the end of the road, I got Rye to stop

'I'll jump out here, if she not there I'll be back in 2 minutes' I got out the car and started walking to the familiar road, it was so weird walking down here, just like I always used to. I turned onto the close and I saw her sat in the same swing, I didn't know if the park would still be there but it was. She didn't see me coming until I was next to her

'Being stood here, it makes me feel like I'm 19 again, when we always used to come here if Andy pissed you off' I laughed and sat on the swing next to her 'are you alright?' I asked and she shook her head

'I just don't get it, we've been through so much and we've got through it, why has he done this cause now we're just back to the beginning, almost 20 years we've been together, maybe he's just bored of me now' I could see tears on her face

'I don't think he'll ever be bored of you Gabs, you've been through so much, that's true, why don't you let him talk about it, I mean I don't have a clue what happened but neither do you, it might not be as bad as you think' I said and she looked at me

'Well either way he cheated on me, he admitted that, that's all I need and want to know' I saw tears fall to the floor, I hated seeing her this upset, she was like my little sister and it broke my heart.

'Right well at least come back to the house and talk to him, you got angry and I get that, but please, if not for him, then for the girls?' She sighed and stood up, I linked her arm and we walked back down the road.

'I knew you wouldn't have walked here, you're too lazy for that' she joked

'Oh well that's rude' I looked away and stripped, before laughing, she hit my arm and we got into the car.

As soon as we pulled up I could see Andy in the window. We all got out the car and went inside. Gabby wasn't looking at Andy.

'Right what're the kids up to?' I asked, hinting to everyone we leave them alone, we all crowded into the garden, letting them try to sort things out.
