Ryan's P.O.V

I knew right well that shit was bound to go down when the boys arrived. Whether they had told their girlfriends or not, I didn't know, but I found out when they got to my house. They brought Jaime, thankfully, and we all sat around together. They hadn't said anything to her and I knew it was down to me to tell her.

Charlie washed Tegan when I was out of the shower, and dressed her in a cute pair of leggings, and a Marilyn Manson shirt that Chris got her. (God knows where he got it.)

Everyone let themselves in, as per usual and the minute I seen Jaime, I went over to her. "Hey, Jay, can we talk outside for a second?" I asked. Jaime nodded and we went outside the front door. I shut it behind us.

"Okay so, I got a message in the group chat the members of Motionless are in and when I was feeding Tegan her bottle this morning, I got a very unpleasant message in it. That concerns you." I said. Jaime looked at me, almost scared. "What's up?" She asked. "I'd rather you not sugarcoat it, Ry."

I looked away and took a deep breath, then looked back at her. "Riley left Angelo, and dumped him over a letter.. the letter revealed that Ricky cheated on you with her, and that's why they kept looking at each other twenty four-secen. I'm really sorry, Jaime." I told her.

Jaime's face fell.

I felt so bad having to be the one to tell her that the guy that was supposed to be the love of her life had cheated on her with one of her best friends. But, if I didn't do it, I know that the others may have tried to keep it a secret from her.. and if she found out later rather than sooner, then it would have hurt her even more.

I watched as her eyes watered and she wrapped the black cardigan she was wearing around herself.

I wrapped an arm around her and she rested her head on my shoulder, a tear sliding down her cheek. "Want me to go get the girls?" I asked, and she nodded and stood up, wiping away her tears with her sleeve. "Th-Thank you for telling me, Ryan. I appreciate it." She said and hugged me. I hugged her back gently and patted her back. "No problem, Jay. I'll send the girls out to you." I said and walked back inside, to everyone else.

"Girls, it's your time to shine. She knows." I said.

Gaia, Kylie, Jesse, Harley and Charlie all got up and ran outside to Jaime, and shut the door behind themselves.

"How did it go?" Ghost asked. I just looked at him and shrugged. "It went well. She's obviously upset but if we had of waited to tell her she would be even more hurt than she already is, and she doesn't need that." I said. "How are you holding up, Ange?"

Angelo looked at me and gave a small smiled. "Well, my head is sore from crying, but, I'm over it right now. Kuza pep talked me and I'm over everything." Angelo admitted and Kuza giggled.

"Man, where did you get the lil' Manson shirt? It's so adorable!!" He laughed as he held Tegan. "Her uncle Chris." I said with a laugh.

"I am clearly her favourite uncle." Chris said and flipped his hair out of his face. "Fuck right off, I'm her godfather!" Vinny replied with a huff.

"Hold your horses, children, I'm her favourite god father, I'm giving her her first tattoos." Angelo added.

"Nah, I'm showing her how to do makeup mother fuckers I am the favourite uncle." Ghost said with a smirk. "I'm getting her her first piercings, bitch, it's obviously gonna be me." Balz argued.

"All of you shut the fuck up, it's Kuza at the minute." I said and nodded towards Kuza.

Tegan was resting her head on his shoulder, fast asleep.

Everyone glared at Kuza, and he raised an arm in surrender, keeping the other one down because it was supporting Tegan.

Just then, the girls all came back in, laughing. "sHHHH TEGAN IS ASLEEP!" All the guys whisper shouted at them.

All the girls turned and looked at each other.

"Are we sure that we're the mother and aunts?" Kylie whispered to Charlie who began laughing. "I honestly do not know anymore." She said and sat beside me..

End Of P.O.V

When the Manson concert began, Charlie and Ryan were sat together on the couch, with Tegan laying up against Ryan, in his lap. Angelo and Kuza were sat either side of the couple with Kylie and Gaia. Chris and Ghost were on the armchairs and Balz, Vinny, Jesse and Harley were all sat on the floor.

Everyone watched as Marilyn Manson sang and danced around the stage in weird and provocative ways.

He's Marilyn Manson, what do you expect?

Charlie watched especially him, John 5 and Twiggy Ramirez closely, not really watching the rest of the band closely.

She was dead quiet.

"This one, is one of our first songs that we released.. about the mother fuckers that are gonna get my metal." Manson yelled down the microphone, and the band began playing the intro to Lunchbox.

Charlie gasped and smiled.

"I wanna grow up. I wanna be.. a big rock and roll star. I wanna grow up, I want to be.. so no one fucks with me, yeah." She sang along quietly to the chorus.

Everyone by now was singing along.

Charlie looked down at Tegan. She was looking around at everyone giggling and singing along to Marilyn Manson. Charlie giggled and held her hands out to Tegan. Tegan looked up at her.

"Ry, can I take Tegan for a bit?" Charlie asked. Ryan smiled and nodded and handed Tegan to Charlie. Charlie giggled and took Tegan off Ryan. "Hi baby!" She giggled and kissed Tegans forehead.

Tegan giggled and Ryan couldn't help but laugh at her giggle. Charlie began giggling. "Daddy's laughing at your giggle, tell him to stop." Charlie said.

"Charles, you said 'daddy' a bit too fluently, almost as if you said it before Tegan was born.. or conceived." Chris said with a giggle.

"If you are implying what I think you are implying, Cerulli, I will kick you so hard, you're gonna have to cancel upcoming Motionless In White shows because you won't be able to hold a note to save your scrote." Charlie threatened, causing anyone to laugh.
