I only thought about the video after I'd finished writing up the chapter, I swear

Andy's P.O.V

I lifted my head off the pillows, a little confused as to where Rye had gone to.

"Rye?" I called out, with no answer. I watched the door open and Mikey peered his head around.

"Morning, Andy. You okay after last night?"

"Uh, yeah. Do you know where Rye is?"

"Yeah. He had to go to a meeting and said he was sorry for having to leave you. We haven't got to know each other at all. Would you like to hang out?"

"Of course," I replied. Mikey nodded, smiling.

"Great. I'll be downstairs. Oh, and I'm sorry for what I did before. It was stupid and selfish of me and you guys are great together."

"I forgive you, Mikey. Thank you for apologising."

He nodded again, closing the door behind him as he left.

I sighed, deciding to get up properly. After getting dressed and brushing my teeth, I made my way downstairs, where Brook was sat beside Mikey, and he was sat on a couch on the opposite side of the room.

"I'm sorry, Prince Andy," he mumbled.

"Don't apologise. Don't even talk to me," I replied sharply. He sighed, going into the kitchen. A couple of seconds later, he came back with a plate and set it down in front of me, receiving a dirty look from my brother-in-law.

"You can go now, Alex," Mikey said. The taller boy nodded, leaving the room.

"You think Rye will fire him?"

"I don't know. When Rye gets angry, he makes stupid decisions. Obviously, what he did last night was justified, but he could make an irrational decision later," Mikey replied.

Me, Brook and Mikey all hung out together until I heard the front door open, rushing towards it. Rye threw his shoes off and hung his coat up, walking past me.

"Rye?"

He ignored me, going to get a drink from the kitchen.

"Babe, what is it?"

"Just stop," he replied, his back to me.

"Tell me, Rye. What is it?"

"Nothing that involves you, Andrew! Shut the fuck up and leave me alone already," he shouted, pushing me away. Brook and Mikey ran out into the hallway, baffled.

"What's wrong with you, bro? Why are you angry at Andy?"

"He's a pathetic shit who gets in the way of everything and won't fucking leave me alone! Maybe what Jack did was for the best." I stared at my husband, unable to comprehend what I'd done wrong to him.My eyes were filling with tears, tears of anger and confusion and sadness.

"If this is because of your meeting, then you're fucking pathetic," Brook said bluntly.

"Fine. I'll leave you alone," I sobbed, running out of the house. I didn't stop running, not caring about where I went.

Brook's P.O.V

I watched as Andy left, glaring at my brother.

"Really?! After everything he's already going through? Look what you've fucking done to him, Ryan!"

Rye ignored me, storming up the stairs and slamming his door shut. I scoffed, grabbing my coat and keys.

"Make sure he doesn't do something stupid, Mike," I ordered, leaving.

***

I'd been searching everywhere. Andy barely knew the place; he wouldn't be able to go far from here.

I stopped at the top of the road going down our hill, panting. The sun reflected off the lake a little way off, near the bottom of the hill. I smiled, running down to the water. My heart almost stopped when I found Andy on the grass right near the water, knees pulled to his chest as he sobbed loudly. He hadn't realised I was there and looked out over the lake, his sobs receding to hiccups and sniffling.

"Andy?"

His head snapped up, and he started crying again as I sat next to him, pulling him into my arms.

"He h-hates me, Brook. What d-did I do wr-wrong? I d-didn't need h-him to remind me h-how pathetic I am," he gulped, kicking his foot in the water. The water splashed up, soaking us.

"You're not pathetic, love. He was stressed out from his meeting, that's all," I replied.

"Yeah, r-right. He told me he f-fucking loved me, Brooklyn! How do you go back from that?! H-he knows everything t-that happened! He b-brought up J-Jack."

I sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Look at me, Andy. It was a one time thing. I promise you, Rye loves you so much. He'd give the whole world to you. He's crazy in love with you."

The brunette looked up with his ocean eyes, filled with tears. He shook his head, crying into his hands.

"C-can you take me back?"

"Of course. Come on." I took his hand and we went back to the house, Andy shivering. Mikey took him upstairs to get changed and wrapped him in blankets when they came back down. I sat next to my brother's husband, and he rested his head on my chest. In a matter of minutes, he'd fallen asleep, hands curled up. I carried him upstairs, into Rye's room. It wasn't a wise decision, I know, but Rye was in the shower. He came back out, looking at Andy.

"Why did you bring him in here?"

"Shut the fuck up," I hissed. "When he wakes up, you're going to fucking apologise, okay?"

"Whatever."

I shook my head, closing the door behind me.

Rye's P.O.V (Sorry about all the changes)

I stared at Andy, instantly regretting what I'd done. Seeing the tears in those beautiful eyes of his made my stomach turn, made me angry with myself. It made me confused as to why I said what I did. I knew it was a painful subject for him, and completely neglected that.

I got changed into my clothes, taking a seat on the couch with my phone.

A few hours later

I heard a groan, and looked up. Andy was stirring, rubbing his eyes. It was adorable. He looked around the room, jumping back when he saw me. My heart broke when I registered the fear.

"I'm sorry, bub..."

"Fuck off," he said shakily. He got up and gave me one last unforgettable look before leaving the room.

The waterworks started. It wasn't very often I cried, but ever since the incident with the mall and everything, I'd just become more emotionally weak.

"Fuck!" I threw my phone at the wall, wincing when I heard the screen break. I huffed, leaving it as I left the room. Andy was in Brook's room, and I heard his quiet sobs. My brother was comforting him softly.

The next morning

Andy had fallen asleep in our bed by the time I'd decided to go to sleep, so it was no surprise to see him gone. I hadn't expected him to be all lovey with me after yesterday, but there was still a little hope he would be. I searched for him around the house. Nowhere. I checked our bathroom, unsure why I hadn't checked it before. But what I saw inside shook me more than anything.

A/N Cliffhanger, I know and I'm extremely sorry😁🙃 Some of you might be able to guess what Rye found lmao :p Love you all xx
