Falling Apart

Chapter 5

-Ryland's P.O.V-

"I'll get the drinks"

Moment's later I left Chase and Mia's townhouse and went to go grab the drinks. I spent the whole car ride to the store thinking about Mia. Damn she was hot. I know she is Chase's but she deserves better. I know I'm supposed to be a good friend and be loyal but she makes that very hard. I bought the drinks and walked out a the store with a jump in my step. I drove back to Mia's house with an insane amount of energy.

~at the party~

Saying that everyone was drunk would be a complete understatement. I looked over at chase who didn't know what he was doing at all. He was making out with some random girl and that made me so mad that he thought it was ok to do that to Mia. I walked over to her while she was dancing and whispered in her ear;

"sup shawty"

"ry what are you doing?"

"what's it matter? Your boyfriends busy"

"he's what?"

She sounded super angry and I knew at that point I messed up. I watched as she turned to face chase's direction and I couldn't let her see that. So I leaned in and quickly kissed her. Even though it was for two seconds, that was the best kiss I have ever had.

"what was that for"

"well, it was mostly a distraction but I've also wanted to do that since I have met you"

"all I know is that I am extremely drunk but I liked that"

She said that and it made my heart melt. She stood back on her tippy toes and kissed me again. This time more passionate then the last and I kissed her back matching her level of passion. She grabbed my hand and we walked up stairs. She started walking into a room and I kissed her while shutting the door behind me.

-Chase's P.O.V-

I hadn't been to a party since the first time I met Mia. But I got super drunk. I was kissing a girl and I thought she was Mia until I pulled away. I quickly moved myself away from the girl and looked around for Mia. I didn't see her so I decided to go upstairs and look to see if she went to bed. I open the door to see my best friend cuddled up against my girlfriend. I pull Ryland up and drag him downstairs. I push him out the front door before I started yelling.

"YOU SLEPT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND"

"NOT LIKE YOU WERE PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO HER. YOU WERE TO BUSY MAKING OUT WITH CYNTHIA"

"You were making out with Cynthia"

I heard Mia say before she fell onto the ground crying.

"Mia, I didn't mean it. I was super drunk."

"Well, so were me and Ryland. It was an accident but that doesn't make it ok."

"I get it Mia, maybe its best if we take a break then"

-Mia's P.O.V-

That was what broke me. I ran to Nick cause he was the only person I could stand right now and cried in his arms.

-Nick's P.O.V-

I was drinking a glass a water when all of the sudden, Mia ran up to me and wrapped her arms around me. I embraced her in a hug and even though she didn't say anything I could tell what happened. We stay in that position for a little bit until I carry her upstairs to her room.

I was getting ready to leave when she whispered to me;

"please stay"

I listened to her and started setting up a bed on the floor when she patted the spot next to her on the bed and insisted I stayed with her there.

-the next morning-

I wake up with Mia curled up against me. I know if Chase saw me doing this I knew he would kill me but Mia shouldn't be alone right now.

"You never asked me what happened."

"It was your story to tell, I would never pressure you to tell me that."

"I slept with Ryland and apparently Chase was making out with Cynthia and to him that was somehow ok."

When she said that it felt like someone stabbed me in the gut. I didn't say anything back yet, I just hugged her and made her feel ok. I pulled away slightly from the hug and grabbed a tissue and wiped the tears off her face.

"Lay down and get some rest. I'll go get you some food"

I opened the door and quietly shut it behind me. As I was walking down the stairs I saw Chase walk out of the living room, looking like he had cried all night long.

"Where's Mia?"

He asked me sounded as if he was so upset that he was angry.

"She's up in my room."

'Wow. So it wasn't bad enough that she was with Ry but she was with you too."

"Dude. You broke her heart and she came to me crying and I carried her upstairs and she was a mess so I couldn't just leave her. "

"I'm sorry man. I messed up."

"We all do at some point in life. But Chase, you have to understand that when you told her about you and Cynthia, you implied that you guys kissing was ok but that what Mia and Ryland did was completely terrible and unheard of."

"I understand now. I was just pissed cause I thought Ryland was my friend."

"Your problem is with Ry then and not Mia. Which you need to make clear to her."

"I know Nick, I messed up big time."

"Tell her dude, not me
