"It's just acting...Or is it?"

Chapter 26

Rye's POV
"Oh come on Ryan. It's one last go before I leave the band please!" I look at all the begging faces around me.
"Ugh Fine we'll go to the stupid party." I sigh rubbing my fingers over my temples. All the boys cheer and horseplay out of the room.
"Ugh I'm gonna regret that decision." I say under my breath.
"Oh lighten up. It'll be fun." Andy says nudging my arm with his shoulder.
"Mm yeah fun." I say sarcastically.
"Ok well I'm gonna go get dressed and leave you here to be a fun sponge." He smirks walking towards the door.
"Hey I'm not a fun sponge." I protest. He just smiles and walks out the door.
Ugh I'm not a fun sponge. I just don't think this party is going to be a good idea. It was a friend of the band hosting it. I just hope Nicole's not there.

"Ok now guys please just make good decisions." Andy says before we got out of the car.
"Yes dad, we know." Brook laughs.
"Hey Andy's right, you don't want to do something then have to explain it to Blair." I say seriously
"Yes other dad, we get it can we go now." Brook whines.
"Yes we can. And brook were not your dads." Andy laughs.
"You act like it." Sonny says opening the car door followed by brook.
"Mm if he only knew. Right guys?" Jack jokes closing the door leaving me and Andy alone.
"You ready for this?" I ask towards him.
"Yeah come on rye it will be fun." Andy says getting out of the car and walking towards the giant house. I follow behind him wanting to hold his hand but remembering I couldn't.
The music is loud and people are everywhere. I have a few flashbacks from the last party I went to. I shake the thought from my head.
"I'm going to get a drink." I say in Andy's ear receiving a are u sure about that look. I smile and walk over the the bar.
"Oh hi handsome what can I get you" a girl with blonde hair and green eyes says. I glance at her name tag *Piper*
"Um yes.. piper, something really strong." I smile.
"Hmm trying to forget someone?" She turns around grabbing a few bottles.
"No actually trying to numb the fact that I can't be with someone." I hop up on the bar stool.
"Oh now I'm intrigued." She says mixing more things into the cup turning it orange. "If you don't mind me asking. Why can't you be together?"
"Um well do you know who I am by any chance?"
"Um no. I mean you look familiar." She says passing me my drink.
"Oh well I'm Ryan Beaumont..."
"Ohh aren't you part of that boyband my little sister loves? Oh gosh it's call reliable or render.."
"Roadtrip?" I say finishing the sentence for her.
"Yeah that's it!" She laughs. "Well Mr. superstar who's the lucky girl that your struggling with." She says leaning on the bar in front of me.
I move the straw around in my drink.
"Um well.." I take a glance at Andy talking to some girl that seems a little to friendly. "I never said it was a... girl..."
"Oh. Ok. So who's the guy?" She says even more interested now.
"One of my band mates." I say gulping down some of my drink, feeling it burn as it went down. I scrunch my face at the feeling.
"Oh please tell me it's Andy."
"What!" I look up choking on my drink. "How would you.."
"My sister ships you two or something like that and she's shown me videos of you like making out on stage. Mm you look at lot different in person." She chuckles.
"Ah yeah well.. it used to just be for show now. It's kind of real.." I glance in Andy's direction again. He's laughing at something the girl next to him said. She whispers something in his ear making him laugh even harder. I roll my eyes and look back to my drink.
"So what's the problem?" She asks making someone else a drink.
"It would not look good for the band." I frown.
"Why not everyone already ships you anyway."
"Eh I don't know it's complicated." I gulp down the rest of my drink feeling a little buzzed after that. I wonder what's in it.
"Doesn't sounds that complicated to me. If you love each other it will work out." She says handing me another drink.
"Well thanks. And can you please not say anything to anyone about this?"
"Ah only if you do something for me." She smirks.
"What?" I raise my eyebrows.
"Can I have a video to show to my sister so she'll be jealous later."
I smile "Of course. What's her name?"
"Hailey." She says handing me her phone.
"Hi Hailey I hope you are having an amazing day. Your sister here has been telling me about you ! Thank you for your support I love you. And randy is real." I laugh at my video.
"Will she like that?"
"Um she's gonna die. And haha randy that's cute."
"Ah yeah we have a ship name." I smile to myself.
"Hm I will work out I know it." She smiles. We talk a little longer and I end up following her on Instagram. Finishing my 4 th drink feeling full on drunk. I look at the crowd for Andy but have no luck finding him.
I shrug and make my way upstairs looking for the bathroom. I open a door and hear moans coming from it.
"hello". I say a into the room. I look into it further and stop.
"Jack! Brook?"
"Ryan get out!" They yell in unison.
I stumble my way out shutting the door.
"Well that happened." I say walking when someone grabbed me pulling me into another room.
"Andy ?" I question.
"Aww no sweetie. It's me." They say.
"Nicole." I frown.
