Was it true? Was I breaking up Jacklyn?

Andy's POV
I left Rye's room to hear Brook and Jack talking in Brook's room. I needed to talk to someone, preferably Jack, but that was obviously not going to happen right now.

I walked into Sonny's room to see tears streaming down his face. I rushed over to sit beside him and wiped them away. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"I need to ask you a question," he said, "But you have to answer it honestly."

"Okay. I will."

"Am I breaking up Jacklyn?" he asked.

"No, definitely not. Why are you even asking?"

He turned his phone towards me and showed me one of the roadies' edits. It was of Jack and Brook, but before Sonny had come around. They were just being their close, cuddly selves. In the middle of the edit, Sonny came in and it showed more Bronny moments, which, to be fair, had been happening a lot more recently.

"That's why. I obviously am," Sonny said, once the edit was over.

"That's not true," I told him.

"It is, though," he cried into my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around him, rubbing small circles into his back.

"Sonny, listen to me. You're definitely not splitting them up. I mean, it's Jack and Brook for God's sakes. Did you see them at studio today?"

"That's true," he giggled a little, sniffling a little.

"You're totally fine. You're not hurting anyone, and no one hates you, or anything," I said.

"Thanks, And," he smiled. "Did you need something?"

"What?"

"Did you need something, or, why did you come in here in the first place?"

"Oh yeah. Well I was going to ask you if I could talk to you about Rye, but you don't have to if you don't want to."

"Yeah, sure. I heard you two fighting a second ago. What happened?" he asked.

"Oh, umm. I asked him what was up with him all day, and said that he should talk to me since he is my boyfriend. And then he said that I never talk to him and that I spend too much time talking to Jack. And basically I got mad because Rye's the first person I tell anything to. And Jack's allowed to be my friend," I said. Sonny was silent. "Right? Am I just being overdramatic about it? I mean, I might be. But I feel like I should be allowed to comfort Jack and he should be able to comfort me. As friends, you know?"

"No, you're right, Andy. You and Jack have every right to be friends," he told me.

"But? I feel like there's a but."

"But. Rye is obviously upset about it and I feel like you shouldn't have just left. You should talk it out with him."

"You're right, Sonny. Why do you always have to be right?" I asked.

"I'm just wiser, Andy," he said, pulling me back into a hug.

"It's late. And we start tour tomorrow. I think I'm going to head to bed, Sonny," I yawned.

"Okay. Night, And," he smiled.

"Night," I said, and left to Brook's room.

Jack's POV
Me and Brook we're talking a little more about our relationship when we heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!" I called, assuming it was Andy, since we'd just heard him and Rye fighting.

The door opened a little, and Rye walked in, slowly.

"It's my room, but yeah, come in, Rye," Brook said.

"Hey, guys," Rye mumbled. We could see tears in his eyes and running down his face.

"Hey, come here. What's wrong?" I asked softly.

"Andy," was all he got out before he fell into a fit of sobs.

"What happened with Andy?" Brook asked.

"He doesn't love me," Rye cried, his head on my lap, and legs draped across Brook's.

"What makes you say that?" I ran my hands through his hair in an attempt to calm him down a little.

"He... He didn't say it," he said.

"Did you, Rye?" I asked.

"No," he admitted, looking down.

"Well, how do you know, then?" Brook asked.

"I can just feel it, I guess. We were arguing and he just walked out. He didn't even try to talk about it."

"I think maybe he just didn't want to make it worse, Rye. I know for a fact he loves you," I told him.

"How can you know that?" he asked.

"The look in his eyes when he sees you. Or when he talks about you," Brook said.

"Exactly," I agreed.

"I'm sorry I was so rude to you earlier, Jack," Rye apologized.

"It's okay, Rye. It's fine," I said, continuing to run my hands through his hair. Eventually, he fell asleep on top of me and Brook.

I looked at my boyfriend and smiled, and he giggled, which made me giggle, too. We ended up in a fit of giggles, trying to stay quiet as to not wake Rye up.

Soon enough, we heard another knock at the door.

"Come in," Brook whisper-yelled to whoever it was. Andy walked in, but turned around as soon as he saw Rye.

"He's asleep, And," I told him. He turned back around to face us.

"Was he upset?" Andy asked shyly.

"Yeah. Very," Brook said.

"Ugh. I'm an idiot," Andy groaned.

"You both are," I agreed. "But that's why you're perfect."

"Clearly not," Andy huffed.

"This is you're first fight in your relationship, right?" Brook asked.

"Yeah," And said.

"So you've gone almost 9 months without a single fight?" Brook continued.

"We've had our little disagreements here and there, but we never fought."

"And that's a good thing, Andy. It's natural to fight with people you love. It means you care. But the fact that you've made it this far without a major fight, tells me that it's worth it to get through it. You both obviously love each other," Brook said.

"Okay," Andy breathed out.

"Go to bed, And. It's tired, you're late," I laughed.

"You're right, Jacky. But what about Rye?" he asked.

"We'll leave him in here, and Brooky can sleep in my room," I offered.

"Sounds good to me," Brook smiled.

"Like you guys weren't going to do that anyways," Andy laughed, leaving the room.

Me and Brook wiggled our way out from under Rye and to my room. I pulled my boyfriend into my chest and snuggled as far into him as possible.

"I love, you, Brooky."

"I love you, too, Jack." And with that, we both fell asleep.
