ACE

1 month later

"Alright, alright. Kim K or Halle Berry?"

I sighed sliding back into my seat. I was sick of hearing them go back and forth with this stupid shit. But for some reason I could get them to leave me the hell alone.

Ethan was snacking on his nachos. "Oh fucking Kim K for sure! Her ass is out of this world."

"Yeah and filled with helium." Greyson said

"Y'all are all stupid as fuck." Cliff came in jumping on the couch beside me, making me push him back off.

Cliff shrugged. "Halyee Berry is a natural beauty. No matter the age nothing is made up on her. So I'd take that ass over Kim's any day."

Cliff and Greyson clapped hands and laughed like two idiots.

Now usually, I would be all for shit talking with them. But I'm just not in the mood to play like that.

"What about you Ace, who you got for this one?"

I glared at them a s shook my head. "Nobody."

"Damn man, how about you just chill and loosen up."

"How about you dumb idiots stop glamorizing the idea of judging women based off their appearance and pretending that you have a right or a say so on what they do with their own bodies." I snapped pointing at them.

All of sudden everyone got silent.

Good, cause they were really starting to piss me the hell off!

"Would you look at this. Chinatown trynna get all preachy on us shit." Cliff smiled as his hit my leg.

Ethan looked at me and got up to touch my forehead. "Dude what the hell, are you feeling ok?"

I smacked his hand away and stood up.

"Shut the fuck up, I'm fine. Just sick of y'all talking about the same shit!"

They looked around at each other and burst out laughing.

Greyson shook his head. "Nah he's just pissy cause Ari dumped his dog ass."

My head snapped at the mention of her name. "Aye, she ain't dump me, alright!"

We wasn't even together in the first place.

"Mmm sounds about right to me." Cliff sang with a smirk.

"Actually, you're wrong. Ariana and I weren't together, so I'm not pissed about anything."

"Ok, so you're telling me it doesn't bother you that she's not talking to you?"

I just shrugged and picked the basketball back up. "Look, I don't feel like talking about that. Y'all wanna play some ball or what? Cause that is what we're here for."

We've been in the gym shooting hoops for about an hour. Now this is all they wanna do, and I'm not for it.

Yeah I'm pissed at how Ariana is treating me all of a sudden. But what can I do about it?

Especially since I have my own shit to worry about. Dove is still on the tour, yeah I know. But after that party she explained everything to me.

Regardless of what happened or how it happened. It doesn't change the fact that she's pregnant with my baby. Things have been weird though, since Ariana obviously doesn't want shit to do with me. Every time I'm around with the group, it's like she's trying to exclude me.

I mean I know I'll always have my boys, but sometimes I don't know about them bitches either.

So for the most part when I'm not on stage, I'm with Dove.

"Let's do it then." Greyson said as he snatched the ball from my hands.

They all got up from the bench and passed me. But Cliff stopped in front of me and shook his head. "I still think you just need some pussy bro. Work that shit out with her if you want her that bad."

I shrugged and turned back walking on the court.

When we got back I had like 6 hours till show time. So right now everyone was sitting in the front playing a card game.

By everyone, I mean all the guys and even Ariana and Victoria. Dove and I sat on the couch watching them play.

"Hey, I'm gonna head to bed. I'm not feeling too good." She leaned over on my shoulder whispering in my ear.

"You alright?" I whispered back.

Dove nodded and placed her hand on her lower stomach. "Yeah, I'll be fine. My stomach is just feeling upset."

I stood up to help her up but she waved me off. "No Ace I'm ok, you stay here with them."

As she made her way into the back into the bedroom I watched to make sure she was really ok. When I turned back around I saw all eyes on me.

"What?" I shrugged sitting back down.

Cliff was the first to say something. "What's the matter with her?"

"Nothing, she's just tied."

"Mmm. Tired of being a damn liar."

I rolled my eyes and decided not to respond to that slick ass comment. It wasn't worth it, because I wasn't gonna win the argument anyway.

It's been a whole month and they still aren't over what happened at that stupid ass party between Ariana and Dove.

I sighed sitting back down in my spot.

My eyes flicked over to Ariana who was sitting across from me by Victoria. She had her legs pulled up to her chest.

She has made it her business not to even look at me once since we've been sitting here.

I could see Greyson and he was all up on Ariana. Way too fucking close and comfortable if you ask me. But I tried my best to pretend that I didn't or care. To bad I fucking did! The way they were touching and laughing, pissed me off.

"Greyson. What the fuck is your issue dude?"

He moved back and looked at me like he was shocked. "What man?"

"Don't pretend like you don't know."

"Ace bro chill." Ethan chuckled and I glared over at him.

"Was I fucking talking to you? No I don't think so!"

Now all of them were staring at me again. But I didn't care, he knew what he was doing and it had officially pissed me the hell off.

"Seriously, why don't you calm down." Victoria said as she rolled her eyes.

I huffed and shook my head. "You know what, fine. Do whatever you want, sit there and act like a bitch! I'm sick of trying anyway."

Ariana looked at me and I cleanched my jaw turning my head away as I got up walking off the bus.

I could hear the guys calling for me but I was so damn mad I didn't care. How could she sit there and flirt with one of my fucking friends in front of me like that! How the hell could Greyson do me like that, he knows what's up!

"Can't believe I actually thought she liked me."
