Bad Enough For You (Alex Gaskarth Fan Fiction)

Do you still love me? I'm dying to know.

~~~~Riley’s Point Of View~~~~

 

               “Wake up,” A voice commanded. I roll over, careful not to wake Alex, and squint my eyes at Tony. The sunlight from the windows crash into my eyes and I quickly blink it away. “We’re going to have a talk. Get up, now.” He says again. I groan and roll off the bed after giving Alex a quick kiss on the cheek. If I wasn’t so tired right now, I’d probably protest. I’ve never seen Tony so dead set and serious so part of me doesn’t feel the need to really protest.

               I throw on a pair of leggings and one of Alex’s flannels with a tank top under it. I’m too exhausted for jeans, tell me we’ve all had those days. Quickly, I brush my freshly dyed purple hair and brush my teeth. I head out to the kitchen area and begin to pour myself a cup of coffee.

               “Good morning, Riley.” Zack says. He’s always the first one awake and dressed. Right now, the only people up are Rian, Jaime, Zack, and surprisingly, Jack.

               “Morning,” I half groan.

               “What are you doing up? Usually you’re still asleep.” Jack adds in his groggy voice as he cuddles up on the arm of the couch, clearly not wanting to be awake right now.

               “Tony is taking me somewhere, I guess. I don’t know.” I answer and Vic walks into the room, looking tired as hell.

               “Me too,” He adds as he walks over to me and steals the coffee jug from me. I carry my mug over and sit next to Zack to avoid Vic. I steal a look at him and his messy, long hair and I smirk. Why is Tony taking Vic and I out to talk – oh, never mind.

               Confusion carries through their faces. “Tony,” Zack says. “Where are you going?” He doesn’t sound irritated or knowing, just plain curious.

               “Just out.” Tony says simply, closing off that question. Jaime gives him a look as Tony looks to me and Vic, ignoring him. “Let’s get going,” He says and we follow him without a word.

               Tony drives around aimlessly until we find a very small café in the middle of nowhere. There are no other buildings surrounding it. Walking in, we see there’s only two other couples sitting at the small clothed tables. A quiet music plays in the background as we sit down. Tony forces Vic and I to sit together while he sits across from us, a serious look on his face.

               After we all order something very small, Tony clears his throat. “Vic, I want you to know that I know what you did to Riley.”

               “What are you talking about?” Vic says with a chuckle, tugging at my stomach.

               “You kissed her.” Tony says, avoiding Vic’s games. Vic looks over at me with sorry eyes, his large eyebrows furrowing.

               “She didn’t push me away and, Ton, I didn’t think about it.” He says. “I couldn’t help myself,” His eyes are still searching mine. The dark brown orbs start to suck me in until I break his gaze, looking back to Tony. “She and I, we talked about it already.”

               “I know,” Tony says calmly at Vic’s frantic voice. “Alex is going to find out, you know.” My stomach starts to feel queasy and I wrap one arm around it to hold myself together.

               Vic shakes his head. “No. I won’t let him.”

               “Vic, be real. All three of us know and for Christ’s sake, what if he hears us talking about it? What if we blurt it out when we’re drunk, you know how you are when you’re shitfaced, man. Now we’re all in the same bus and it’s bound to happen.” Tony says. Vic’s face starts to fall and he slouches.
