The same night Annie was getting ready for tonights celebration but had so much stress and was under pressure.

''Ugh!'', she groaned.

Johnny who was sitting on the couch looked at her and raised his eyebrow. ''You wanted such a big wedding! You have to go through it!'', he says.

''Johnny, don't annoy me!'', she says annoyed already. She saw Johnny grabbing something from beside him and widened her eyes. ''My bra!'' She snatched it out of his hands as he laughed.

He then looked at the already turned on TV. ''Hey, that's my show!'' a smile grew on his face.

''Wow.'' Annie looks at the TV too. ''How is Venice actually?, she asks.

''Disgusting. The whole city is just dirty.'', he says.

''Really? But we wanted to go there on our honeymoon.'', Annie says disappointed.

''Why?'', he asked confused.

''Asher likes to visit historical places.'', she says. ''Whatever, will certainly be fun.''

''That's bullshit. It's going to be deadly boring.'', Hayden says coming into her room.

''Shut it, Hayden.'', Annie said, then went into her dressing room while Johnny still watched his show.

''You still have two days! Just leave it now!'', Hayden says after her, sitting on the couch grabbing the remote and changing the channel.

Johnny looks at him. ''Hey, what was that? My show was on!'', he says.

''Sorry, didn't know that.'', Hayden says not bothering to look to him as he continued to watch something else.

''Hayden, come on, change the channel back.''

''It's your show, right? You already watched it.'', he answers with no expression.

''But I wanna show you.'', Johnny says.

''No interest.'', he says coldly. Johnny goes over to the TV and turns it off. ''What's your problem, buddy?'', Hayden asks.

''What's your problem, Hayden!?''

''You know exactly what my problem is.'', he says as he stands up to go pour himself some vodka.

''I wanna hear it from you.'', Johnny says following him.

''Don't make it a huge deal, Johnny. You visit us the first time after 8 years. You called maybe like 5 times, at most 10 times! And you ask what my problem is!?, Hayden exclaims.

''You also didn't call very often!'', Johnny tried to defend himself.

''Yeah, I tried it a lot of times but I never got you to pick up! You're an ass, Johnny!''

''Dude, try to understand! I'm very busy! New cities, new countries. I have to care about my life and my carrier! I want my dream to come true!'', Johnny explains.

''Yes, your dream, dude! Your life! Your problems! Your lame excuses! Everything's about you, you, you! What about me!? Do you know anything about me? Huh? About my life, my dreams, my situation!?'', Hayden yells.

''Calm down, Hayden! Look at Annie! We also didn't talk much but she isn't mad at me!'', Johnny says.

''Because Annie stopped expecting things from you a long time ago! She didn't even expect you to come to her wedding! And how could she, you didn't even go to the funeral of your own father!'', Hayden yells as he quickly stopped regretting the last sentence.

Johnny stared at him blankly. He couldn't believe he thought of him like that. Even Annie did.

''Okay, good. Annie's right, you shouldn't expect anything from me. I am how I am.'', Johnny could feel his eyes getting wet but he blinked it away as he tried to walk away.

''How!? Selfish? Ruthless? Your whole world traveling has gone to your head!'', Hayden screams holding him back.

''At least I'm not like you! A pitiful drinker and player.'', Johnny yells back.

Then Hayden slaps him. Johnny looks at him shock before he punches Hayden as they get into a fight.

When they both let go Hayden grabs a glass and throws at Johnny but misses him as he quickly grabbed another one. Johnny's eyes widened.

''Are you crazy!? Put it back!'', Johnny says as he looks around. ''Here, take the pillow.'', he grabs the pillow about to hand it to Hayden but instead hit him with it himself. Hayden tries to grab it causing them to fight more over the pillow until they rip it apart and fall to the ground.

Both of them lay on the ground tired to stand up as they look up to see someone standing in front of them.

Annie, already finished dressing, looks at them mad, sad and mostly disappointed. They quickly stand up looking at her up and down. She looked gorgeous in her dress and with her wavy hair.

''You look really beautiful, Annie.'', Hayden says trying to avoid what just happened.

''This is my wedding, guys! And my two best friends fight like kids!'', she says disappointed and mad. ''You stop it now and apologize to each other! Come on!''

''Sorry.'', Hayden mumbles.

''It's okay.'', Johnny says, then nothing.

''He has to apologize too!'', Hayden exclaims looking at Annie.

''Johnny.'', she says raising her eyebrows.

''Sorry.'', he says then too.

''John, Hayden, now hug.'', she says as they don't react. ''Come on!'', she screams.

They turn to each other and hug. Annie holds back her tears as she smiles.

''Wait, I want too!'', she says as she joins their hug as they all smiled.
