*Damien's POV*

We rehearsed for a few hours yesterday before going to sleep around 2:00 am, and we were so tired we fell asleep in a heap on AB's couch in one of the studio rooms. I woke up to a phone call from Alex.

"Are you okay, are you alright? Where are you?" Alex's voice was in a mix of annoyance and panic, and I was quick to respond. I checked the time on my clock to see it was 8:00, the wedding was in six hours, and we still had to perfect a few things.

"We're at the studio, we were rehearsing for the wedding today." I slowly nudged Natalie and turned the phone on speaker.

"I'm coming over, open the door for me. We need to talk." I wiped away the drool on my face, and stood up to open the door. All of my arms and muscles screamed, I knew I'd be feeling that for days. I opened the door to see Alex storming through and into the other room. He instantly threw himself on the couch, threw down his phone with a yell and wrung his hands through his hair, making it an instant mess.

"Okay, spill." Natalie moved, an imprint of the couch cushion on her face.

"So...Kellan slept over last night." My eyebrow rose, Alex put out his hand, "We were talking and he was going to crash in your room but we were talking for so long that we fell asleep. Trust me, I was very surprised when AB threw a glass of water on both our faces just an hour ago. I tried multiple times, actually, to tell him nothing happened. But he was so mad, he stormed out and he hasn't replied to either of our calls or texts."

"Did he break up with you?" I asked, hoping that he said no.

"Honestly, in between him screaming at me and punching Kellan I'm not sure." He opened his eyes to reveal his tears, "I'm just so sorry that this happened."

"He punched Kellan?" Natalie roared, "Is he okay?"

I checked my phone to see a few missed calls from him. I pointed and motioned my way out of the room while they continued to talk.

I pushed his name to see him come up on the screen, part of his face was bruised, "Finally, ugh you wouldn't believe what just happened." He held up a bag of frozen cherries from the bar to his face.

"I'm so sorry I didn't call sooner, Alex is here with us. Will you be okay? Do you need me to beat AB up?"

"To lose access to the studio? Absolutely not. I think you guys should meet me for breakfast though, we need to talk about all of this, get everything out on the table. I want to be nothing but honest with you. The last thing I want is for this to go sour, I really care about you."

I nodded, "Okay, but the wedding is at 2:00, so they want us to be at the reception area by 3:00 for sound checks."

Natalie locked up, the rest of us loaded into her car and split before we saw AB drive up to the studio. When we came up to the breakfast place, Kellan was waiting on a bench outside. If he didn't look sexy then, ruthless, and not afraid of danger, my kinda guy.

I jumped out of the backseat and pulled him into a kiss, careful not to hurt his face. It was met with the same hunger, and he pushed me up against the brick wall and I could feel that part of him pressed against me.

"Calm down Captain, there are kiddies around." He grinned, and pulled his long coat further around himself.

We were all seated at the table, our breakfasts were demolished, and we were just getting into what we were going to do about AB.

Alex sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, "I tried to talk to him, but he's just convinced that I'm cheating on him. I don't want to break up with him, I really care about him. I don't understand why he's being this way to me."
