Down By The River, By The Woods

Chapter 14

Hey guys!

So there are around 5 chapters left as I don't really have much more inspiration for this story.

So what's remaining will mostly be in Alex's P.O.V.

So yeah... Here's chapter 14.

(not edited!)

__________________________

Alex's P.O.V

Jay left yesterday morning when I got a text from Andrew asking me to get ready.

I met Liz,Aubrey and Andrew at a nearby mall and we lounged around the entire day. From what I can tell there's something going on between Marcus and Liz, but she refused to tell us and said that she will when the time is right. I mean really. What does that even mean.

I honestly don't get what Ash and Diana are doing. No one does apparently. Then we laughed about how much I cried during The Fault In Our Stars. Diana and I had watched the movie and She was so annoyed because of the million times I burst into tears.

She and I are very different. I cry for almost everything. I also think she's a bit stronger than I am, mentally.

Sure she has insecurities but then again, who doesn't?

I bought a dress for the brunch and forced her to buy one as well.

Which brings me back to how I'm curling Diana's hair while she sits in front of my mirror wearing a gorgeous baby pink sheath dress.

I myself was in a turquoise dress with a sweetheart neckline. I had just brushed out my boring brown-black hair. It had natural waves and curls.

Frankly I was nervous as hell. I highly doubt that our parents would have any issues with Jay dating me. They know him that well. Come on he practically grew up at my house and since mum and Isabel were best friends at school even our parents were very close,which is probably why we're neighbors.

Finally satisfied with how Andrew's hair turned out I handed her a pair of flats because she refused to wear those death traps again.

We walked into the garden arm in arm. Isabel and mum were at the table setting the plates and the dishes. Dad and Tom were talking by the table.

My eyes automatically began to search for Jay. I saw him smirking as he leant back on the fence.

He mouthed 'Missed me? '

I just rolled my eyes and beckoned him over. I really wanted to get over with this.

I guess my luck wasn't all that good because my mum called us over to the table to eat

'Alex honey we have some exciting news to tell you! ' Mum squealed.

'So do I mum... ' I said smiling.

We sat down and devoured the amazing food.My mum then cleared her throat and said

'Alex honey, yesterday we met Tanya and Drew. They had the most wonderful idea!  We're planning on merging our companies. '

Okay. So well Tanya and Drew were Chris's parents. Wonderful. Now I'll have to see more of him.

'That's nice I guess? '

I said unsure as to how I was supposed to be responding.

'Well here comes the exciting part,You and Chris are going get married! ' my wonderfully clueless mother squealed and said.

'WHAT?' Jay, Diana and I asked together.

'Are'nt you happy kids? ' Isabel asked the three of us looking at our panicked expressions.

'Yes mom. I'm ecstatic. My girlfriend is getting married to someone else. It's the appropriate emotion under the circumstance I see. ' Jay said clenching his fists.

There was a round of collective gasps before my mum said

'Oh honey, I didn't know... I would try to back out, but it seems Chris is intent on the idea, and we can't have Tanya and Drew backing out of the deal. I'm so sorry Alex,Jay. '

Deal? Really?  how is the marriage a part of the freaking deal?  I felt so mad. Before I could say anything, Jay began to laugh humourlessly.

'Well Then It's too bad darling Chris is in the hospital isn't it? '

Jay said barely restraining his anger. There were more gasps before dad looked at me and said

' I'm sorry honey, we can't back out of the wedding unless Chris decides he doesn't want to marry you. We didn't even know why you broke up with that young man, he said you had a little tiff. '

'a little tiff?  Why that *beeeeeeeep* *something * *something * douchebag! ' Diana yelled.

'Diana Christine Drew, will you kindly refrain from swearing! ' Isabel scolded with a murderous look.

Tom gave a pitiful look.I didn't respond. There was no point anyway. I knew I was being weak again. I knew full well. But yet I couldn't bring myself to do anything. But I'm knew one thing, I was not going to marry that lying cheating douche.

If I had to run away to avoid that,Then so be it.

My face displayed a variety of emotions. Anger probably consumed most of it. I knew that if I said anything now, words would just spew out and I'd be fuming and giving away things that I didn't want to.

So I did the next best thing I turned to Jay and kissed him before I ran back into the house.

--------------------------------

Diana's P.O.V

'What the hell?'

How can Alex be forced to marry that idiot?  Shit. This is so messed up! 

My mother is lecturing me about how I shouldn't be swearing when my twin is itching to punch a certain douche and my best friend wants to yell the roof off and cry at the same time.

Suddenly she turned to Jay and kissed him before running into the house.

Jay glared at everyone on the table before storming off. Probably to Alex.

I awkwardly looked around the table. Leah looked upset and held my mother's hand. Hunter looked pissed to say the least. Funnily enough so did dad.

Mum sighed and said 'Well this is awkward.. Diana honey? Go inside. We have some things to discuss.

I rolled my eyes before stomping in only to find Alex crying her heart out on the sofa.

'Alex?  What happened? ' I asked worriedly.

Between breaths and tears she managed to say 'H-he said it's

ov-ver Diana. Ov-ver. ' Before bursting into more tears.

I was completely confused now. Who said it was over?

I asked the same. 'J-Jay. 'Jay doesn't want me anymore. I'm starting to wonder if this was all a joke to him.

I groaned. Trust my brother to mess things up even further.

I hugged her 'Alex, he loves you okay?  You know how he is when he's mad. It will all be okay tomorrow okay?'

I spent the rest of the day watching romantic (ew) movies with Her.

I only had one thought running through my head.

I WAS GOING TO KILL JASON GABRIEL DREW.
