phases part 1 [reggie X reader]

1993 (may be some cursing)
I was at a party. I did not want to be at a party.
I was dragged to this party against my will by my twin brother luke.
Alex didnt come so I had no one to talk to. He was at some family thing a whole other state away while I was stuck with my stupid brother and his stupid dimwit friend.
Speak of the devil. Reggie was walking over to me. He was punch drunk and slurring all his words.
"Hey y/n commmee daance with meee." He was a happy crazy emotional drunk.
"I really dont wanna reggie." I say, annoyed with him already.
"Why not?" He pouts, the alchohol making his eyes droopy.
"Because I didnt wanna be here in the first place, you're sweaty and drunk, and I'm just waiting until luke is done doing whatever hes doing so I can drive us home and hide him from mom and dad until hes sober."
"Didntluke already leeave?" Reggie slurs.
"No he was just ove-" I look around to see that luke isnt anywhere near where he just was.
"No he-hes here somewhere he has to be." I say. I'm really starting to panic. "H-help me look for him please?"
Suddenly reggie seems sober and more aware than he would be even if he wasnt drunk.
We look everywhere but luke is no where to be found.
Reggie walks up to this girl, shes pretty but he doesnt start flirting with her like he usually would.
"Aly!" He calls.
"Hey reg whaddya need?"
"Well I was wondering if you've seen luke anywhere?"
"Oh yeah, he left with kelsea about 30 minutes ago."
"DAMMIT!" I yell banging my hand on the counter hard. Really hard.
Like so hard that when it made contact with the counter I heard a sickening,
crack
"Fuck!" I yell tears forming in my eyes.
"Hey,hey calm down." Reggie says gently, placing a hand on my back.
"My brother left me stranded here, I'm pretty sure I just broke my hand and that the line you come up with?" I say.
He laughs a little.
"Hey Aly how are you getting home?" He asks her.
"Umm... I brought my car but I'll probably stay here after the party with Lynn."
"Can we use tour car? I promise I'll bring it back."
"Sure."
He leads me outside to Alys car.
He starts driving, he grabs my unbroken hand and runs his thumb across the back of my hand.
"You shouldnt be driving."
"Why not?"
"Because you're drunk."
"I'm really not. I had half a beer say 2 hours ago and I'm already sober."
"Wait but you just walked up to me like less than half an hour ago and you were punch drunk."
"I was acting. Luke and alex made me stop drinking so much."
"Why would you act drunk?" I ask.
"I dont know. Just didnt want to make it seemed like I changed too much." He says shrugging.
Soon enough we're at the hospital and reggie is opening every door for me. Hes sweeter than I remember him being.
When we get inside and get checked in at the front desk reggie fills out the papers for me.
"Should I put your parents numbers on here?"
"Um... put the home phone number on there. They're visiting grandma. They have enough to deal with and they're probably asleep."
"Do you want me to go get luke?"
"When I get checked up and they give me whatever diagnosis they are gonna give me, then you can try to find him."
"Well we know where he is so that's great."
"Yeah but its what hes doing that worries me."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that when mom and dad arent here then he goes crazy. Does things that could get him in trouble. If our parents were here we wouldn't even had gone to the party and he most definitely wouldn't have drank or went home with kelsea."
"Well, I think he'll be okay."
"You really think so?" I ask him.
"Yeah. I mean if not me and alex will drag him out of whatever phase hes going through. And if we get you by our side then its sure to be affective."
"You guys are really close arent you."
"Very." Hes smiling, I like it when hes smiling, I dont know why I like it when hes smiling.
"God I wish him and I were still that close."
"Whaddya mean?"
"Well when we were younger we were inseparable. Then after a while he pursued music and was open about it. I've always hid it. I study and do everything right. I think he secretly hates me for it."
"Why would he hate you for it?"
"Moms always pestering him. 'Why cant you be more like your sister?'. I always hate when she says that. It makes me afraid hes gonna be mad at me. I hate it when hes mad at me."
"Well I know for a fact he doesn't hate you."
"How?"
"Well for one he talks about you constantly. He always says you have the voice of an angel but you play guitar and piano like you sold your soul to the devil."
I laugh. Only luke could come up with something like that.
"And hes always saying how he wishes you would come out of your shell more. He really wants you to pursue music but he doesnt want your mom and dad to be angry or dissapointed in you like they are on him."
"They arent dissapointed in him. They're just worried. They dont want him to be unsuccessful. And it's not that think he cant do it, I think that they're afraid he can."
"What does that mean?"
"Well they dont want him always traveling or having people following him. They want a more domestic life for him. Rockstars dont have the best track records when it comes to certain things. I know that he would do okay though. I mean he has you guys and me. If he gets into something stupid we can snap him out of it. The same for you and alex. I just think they're afraid of losing him."
"You know him so well." Reggie says dumbfounded,"your parents too."
"They dont tell me any of these things. I just kind of go off of what they act like, what sets them off. And with luke hes my twin so I've known what's going on in his head since we were born."
"He talks about you alot. It's always 'y/n got an amazing grade on her mid terms' or its 'y/n was singing last night when she thought No one was paying attention and I just wish she would actually show how talented she is."
"Gee,I had no idea he talked about me so much. I'm sorry."
"Why are you sorry?"
"If he talks about me as much as you say he does then you guys must be sick of me."
"No not really. We actually like it when he talks about you. He gets all giddy. It's like a toddler with a puppy." He laughs.
I'm about to say something when my name is called.
"Okay let's go."

"Well it appears you broke it. I'm gonna need to put you in a cast." The doctor says.
"Okay." I say.
"Do you want me to go ahead and find luke?" Reggie asks.
I nod. He kisses me on the forehead like I'm his niece or something and walks out. I wrinkle my nose at him and he just gives me a wink.
"You two are very cute you know." The doctor says as she gives me a look.
"Pardon?"
"You and your boyfriend dear."
"Oh hes not my boyfriend. Just one of my brothers friends."
"And where is your brother?"
"No idea. I think he went to a friends house."
"And your parents?"
"They're visiting my grandmother."
She nods and tends to my hand.
"I know you're lying." She says.
"Hmm?"
"About how you broke it." She says gesturing to my hand.
I had told her that I went on a walk with luke and reggie tagged along. I said that luke got tired headed home and then I fell and reggie took me here.
"I dont know what you mean."
"I have a daughter your age I know when you're lying now spill."
"Fine. I was dragged to a party by luke. I was waiting to leave when reggie told me he had already gone. I got so worked up that I slammed my hand down on the counter. Hard. And then reggie borrowed a car and took me here."
She nods. Satisfied that she was able to get an answer out of me.
After a while I have a cast on my arm and Luke's bursting through the door.
He was sweating, his hair was messy and his clothing was ruffled. He was still a bit drunk, and smelled it too along with cheap perfume.
"Well look who decided to show up." I retort. I'm annoyed and I have every right to be.
"Im so sorry, that I left you at the party and that this happened and that I decided to go drag you to a party instead of staying home watching Disney movies while eating junk food and seeing who could eat more sour candy without making a face. I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry, please forgive me, I'm begging for you to forgive me."
"Its fine luke. I just wanna get you home and cleaned up so that we can lay down on the couch and watch TV and fall asleep."
He tackles me in a hug. "I love you little sister."
"You are only like five minutes older than me." I laugh.
"Let's get you guys home." Reggie says.
"You need to return Alys car." I point out.
"Oh yeah. I forgot about that!" He says.
I laugh, "its understandable."
Me and luke head home. I fall asleep on the ride there and wake up to luke carrying me inside the house.
He sits me on the couch and I let out a big yawn.
"What are we gonna tell mom and dad?" He asks after he cleans himself up and we settle on the couch.
I'm laying down on his lap and hes braiding and braiding a section of my hair.
This is our resting position. When we're both tired and worn down we end up like this.
"We will tell them the same thing that I told the doctors."
"And what's that?" He asks moving from my hair to drawing on my f/c cast with his finger.
"That we went on a walk with reggie, you got tired went back home, I fell and reggie took me to the hospital then went to go get you."
"When did you become a good liar." He says sounding a little impressed.
"Do you really think I go to the library every afternoon?"
He kinda just slowly nods.
"Well I dont. I go on Thursdays Tuesdays and Saturdays and the other days I play guitar on the main streets of the city."
"Wow."
I nod smiling.
"You otta come and play with me and the guys sometime."
"Maybe." I say.
And at that thought I drift off to sleep.
