The Brothers

Four Heartbreaks

Tryin' to apologize
You're so ugly when you cry
Please
Just cut it out
Don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not

At the Party

        Nicholas slightly ran, he was still slightly drunk, out of the room after he was finally able to move from the shock. He stumbled down the stairs and was stopped by Jake grabbing him by the ear and dragging him, much to Nicholas' protests, to an empty room. Nicholas looked around and saw Bryce glaring at Justin too. Nicholas rubbed his ear,

        "What the heck was that for?"

        Jake glared at Nicholas,

        "What the hell did you both do to Ash and Ella?!"

        Nicholas looked down in shame...that was when he comprehended that Jake also mentioned his best friend, he looked at Justin and saw that he was also looking down in shame. Nicholas looked at his hand at the same time Justin looked at Nicholas' hand. Both saw the necklace and ring. That was when Jake and Bryce saw the two objects and were frozen in shock. A silence fell over the four guys. Nicholas looked at Bryce,

        "D-Did you see them?"

        Bryce glared but nodded,

        "Yeah...we sure as hell-"

        Jake put a hand on his boyfriend's shoulder,

        "We saw the tears streaming down slowly from their face."

        Nicholas and Justin frowned sadly, both subconsciously clenching the jewelry in their hand. Bryce grabbed Nicholas' arm,

        "What did you do."

        Nicholas looked up at him,

        "I-I thought that Ash came back earlier than she said she was gonna be back....the person talked and we kissed...I-I didn't realize-"

        Nicholas was shocked as he felt his nose hurting him. Jake pulled away his fist.

        "How dare you kiss another girl, Ash loves you and she saw you kissing someone else. Do you realize how much pain you just caused her? You two are supposed to get married in two weeks. Your big day, and you just fucked up big time,"

        Nicholas let a tear slip down from his bloodshot eyes.

        "I-I didn't know,"

        Bryce glared,

        "That makes it worse. No matter how drunk you could be, you still should be able to tell,"

        Bryce glanced at Justin who has been quiet, Jake stalked up to him and shoved him against the wall,

        "You shoulda seen Ella's face when we saw her, she was in SHOCK when they left, what the hell did you do to her?"

        Justin looked at him and Jake saw the pure sadness in his eyes,

        "I....I kissed another angel...I thought it was her...I...I can't believe it,"

        Bryce glared at both Belasco's,

        "You both should be ashamed. Too drunk to be able to know if you are kissing the wrong person,"

        Justin slid down the wall after Jake let him go, burying his head between his knees. Jake sighed and shared a look with Bryce. Bryce nodded. The gay couple helped the two brothers up and get into Jake's car. They drove to the house and got them out. Nicholas and Justin numbly fell onto their beds. Jake and Bryce sighed and left the house.

With the Girls

        Ashley pulled up to an air BnB. The two got out of the car and took out their bags. Bryce always had extra clothes for Michela in his trunk and had some of his own clothes too, along with Jake's clothes. After paying the front for a room, the girls went inside and sat down on the bed. Michela looked at Ashley and pulled her closer. That was when Ashley burst into tears again, Michela sighed and held her best friend close. Ashley calmed down slightly and looked at Michela,

        "I-I thought that....I thought that this time would be different...that we would be together forever,"

        Michela felt her heart break even more at what Ashley said,

        "Oh, Ash...I'm sure everything will make more sense in the future,"

        Ashley sighed,

        "How...how are you?"

        Michela's breath hitched at the sudden question. Michela sighed,

        "I-I don't know,"

        Ashley nodded and laid down,

        "Come here kid,"

        The two laid down together as Ashley wrapped an arm around Michela. Both girls fell asleep next to each other, both still broken about what happened.
