Alex Gaskarth "Who Do You Think I Wrote Therapy For?" (ShortFic)

"INDIANA! MOTHER FUCKING JONES!!" rang down the halls over the vibrating drones of sound check. I peek around the door to find Alex and Jack being filmed. I keep hidden behind the door untill the camera turns away from them, and then step fully into the room. Jack and Alex were too engrossed in completing the next verse of their score that they didn't notice me, with Alex's back to me and Jack's eyes closed in concentration. I wait for a couple of seconds before a very strong pair of arms wrap around me from behind.
"NAOMI!" A deep voice bellows in my ear as I am lifted from the ground. I laugh as he spins me round.
"Zack! Put me down!" I feel my feet touch the ground for a few seconds before being tackled to the ground and feel the weight of a lanky (but still heavy) body being flung on top of me.
"Garden Gnome!!" Jack squeals his favourite pet name for me from above as he sits up to straddle me and glare at me while pouting, "Why didn't you call me? We're supposed to be Best Friends Forever..." His bottom lip wobbles as he pretends to wipe a fake tear away from his eye. I giggle and use all my strength to flip us so I sit on his stomach.
"I wanted it to be a surprise!" I said, turning to see Rian grinning down at me as he helps me up.
"That still doesn't give you an excuse not to call your older brother," he said with a cheeky smile as I give him a hug.
"So how was your three months holiday in the UK?" Rian asked, running his hands through my short bright orange hair.
"It was amazing, next time you tour there I'm DEFINITELY coming with you!" I exclaim. I peer over his shoulder to meet those chocolate brown eyes which give me shivers every time. He sends me a warm, genuine smile. Not those smiles I see him give in interviews and photo shoots, but his real smile, the one that spreads across his whole face and makes his eyes shine when he does something he loves, like playing music or messing around with the guys.
"Hi Naomi," he said softly.
"Hi yourself," I reply, fighting the blush that threatens to overwhelm my cheeks. He steps around Rian and opens his arms wide.
"What, no bear hug from the Nomester?" I shake my head and chuckle at his old name for me as I try not to run full pelt into his arms. I can't help the small shiver that runs through my body as he wraps his arms tightly around my waist, pulling me tight against him as I snake my arms around his neck and nuzzled his neck. Alex presses his nose and lips to my neck and sighs, once again giving me shivers as his breath tickles my shoulders. We stay like this for a moment or two, before Rian clears his throat.
"Dude, thats my little sister you're molesting there," he said with a stern tone. I turn to him and give him a look while Alex jumps away like he's been burned.
"What the fuck dude?" Jack pipes in, "I molest Naomi all the time, but you don't give me crap for it!" He says from his spot on the floor, where he stares longingly at a Burrito. Rian ignores him but gives Alex a pointed look. Alex meets his gaze and gives Rian a look of his own before walking calmly out of the room. Everyone turns to stare at Rian, who is now looking slightly embarrassed as he stares at the floor.
"Rian, what the hell?" Zack asks in a loud whisper. Rian looks up at him with an incredulous look.
"What? What did I do?"
"Dude, that was so uncool, even with the whole big brother thing..." Jack mutters, still sat on the floor. Rian grumbles something under his breath.
"What?" I say quite loudly. Everyone jumps; this is the first I've spoken since Alex left. Rian blushes slightly; a sign I know that means he's been caught.
"What Rian?!" I shout, getting frustrated easily. That was one of the rare differences between Rian and I: he was (normally) quite calm, where as I have a short temper.
"You're supposed to be friends! Nothing more! Do you know how weird it would be for me if I thought one of my best friends and my little sister were fucking behind my back?!" He yelled, his eyes going wider as I blushed.
"Rian, there is nothing going on between me and Alex!"
"Well how the hell am I supposed to know?! You always seem to be hanging out with him, it's always been like that since I introduced you to him! What else would you be doing?!" Rian boomed, his voice getting louder and deeper as we launched into full argument-mode. Zack came up behind Rian and put his hand on Rian's shoulder.
"Dude, chill. You know nothing's going on between them."
"And so what if there was? It's none of your business!" Jack butts in, standing behind me with a firm arm around my shoulder.
"None of you have a fucking clue, do you?" We all jump as Alex's voice enters the fray, low and serious. He walks in and stands in between us all.
"Alex..." I said as a warning.
"No, Naomi! They need to know, especially Rian!"
"Know what?" Rian asks, his voice deep and serious. I walk up to Alex who is now standing in the middle of the room, pleading with him through my eyes, but he doesn't meet them, instead he stares straight back at a fuming Rian.
"You really want to know why I spend so much time with her? What we're really doing?"
"Dude, keep this PG..." Jack whispers from behind me, but nobody laughs.
"Alex!" I yell at him, tears building up and threatening to burst through as I feel my stomach twist into a knot.
"I'm sorry," he whispers before grabbing my arm and pushing the sleeve up of my Cardigan. I flinch; both at the material catching on the scars that decorate my arm and the boys reaction. Jack takes a step away from me, raising his hands up as if he himself made the cuts. Zack rushes forward and gently takes my arm, staring at the raised and puckered lines.
But Rian... Rian is the worst. He just stands there. He doesn't look at Alex, or the scars. He stares straight at me. As if he's never even seen me before. Like I'm some sort of alien.
"Who do you think I wrote Therapy for?" Alex says gently from my side, and with the mention of that song, the dam breaks, and the tears come flooding. There's silence beside my ragged breathing as the tears get worse.
"Rian... Please say something," I quietly force out the words through my clogged throat. He stares at me for a few more moments.
Then he leaves. Pushes gently between Alex and I, and just... Leaves.
I break down. My knees buckle and I sob louder than I have before, even in my sessions with Alex. But, like before, when things got too dark, when things seemed to much to handle, when I felt like I was slipping. He caught me. He held me in his strong arms and whispered soothing sounds in my ears as my makeup stained his shirt. Zack takes a step back to stand by a now solemn looking Jack as they watch me fall apart.
