Laughing with his friends was good medicine. As they rolled out of the movie theater, he looked down to Makenna, and smiled. “Wanna just go back to my place for the night?” Fingers crossed his dad would be out of the house, again. “I’m pretty sure my dad was going to stay at that hotel for another night.” He held her for a moment, leaned down and pecked her. “I wanna get away from these goons, and sleep.” Chuckling, they waved at their friends who were all going off on their own. Kingston and Ashlyn were running off hitting each other, but talking about some party on the other end of town. Colin had decided he was going to go with them, seeing as he would be the one to make sure they got home safe.

Locking hands with Makenna, they started towards his house. To their better luck his father wasn’t home. Going straight up to his room, so she wouldn’t have to see the mess that his father allowed him to live in, he shut the door and collapsed onto his bed. “Tonight wasn’t as bad as it could have been.” He sat up, and lit up a cigarette. He cracked open his window, letting in a cool breeze. “Hopefully tomorrow night at the show things will be better.” They had plans to spend the entire day getting ready for this show. “And you guys really need to help her dress right. Our babes represent our band, and girls like her don’t give off the best vibe.” He considered Kingston, and Ashlyn to be a thing. Colin was the only one left, but he rarely showed too much interest.



Madi wanted to scream, her feelings were actually hurt knowing it was so easy for someone to leave her like that. Sighing, she looked him up and down. “Look, we find out the sex in a few weeks, and my mom said my dad isn’t moving back until then. We have about five or so weeks to look for an apartment. It’ll all work out. If Chris leaves, fine. Fuck him.” She shook her head, grabbed Ashtons hand, and placed it on her stomach under hers. “This is all that matters to me.” She smiled up at him, her heart warm. “We’ll just wait and see if he leaves before that. If not, then I guess that’s how he’ll find out he’s not the father.” Madi had a plan to announce her baby’s gender, and she wanted Ashton to be apart of it.

--

Chris was sitting on Amy’s couch, he was waiting for her to come back from the bathroom. He sent a message to Ashton, and Madi telling them that the order for dinner got screwed up. To his surprise, they responded saying it was fine, and that they were just going to get something else. He explained how he would be back later. Chris smiled as the redhead came back from the bathroom. The pair on the couch took out their kits, and heated their drugs. Within moments their body’s were frozen on the couch.

Makenna sat down on his bed and took her shoes off before she laid down next to him. “Do I have too? I don’t really like her and she is annoying. We should just leave her behind.” She said, looking over at him. She took his cigarette from his hand and took a drag from it before she handed it back to him. She exhaled the smoke as she stared up at his ceiling. “I had fun today though.” She said as she snuggled up to him. “Thank you.” She said. She liked that he had taken her out. She closed her eyes, “I am glad that I have you in my life.” She said. Makenna looked at him, “You are amazing.” She said, “I can’t wait to see you play tomorrow.” She said. “Do you have anything new?” She asked.

---

Ashton nodded, “Alright I will find us something.” He said. He wanted to make sure that he got somewhere that felt safe enough for them to raise a child. Ashton looked at her belly, “I will get us some place nice.” He said. He walked inside with her, “You want to go get something to eat?” He offered. He looked at Chris and Amy passed out on the couch. He didn’t feel the need to get high when Madi was around.

[It literally took me so long to do this. First I had it typed and a tornado came through my town and now we have terrible storms and my internet is cutting in and out haha. I apologize for the shortness. ]

[do NOT apologize for the shortness! I am so happy you're safe. do NOT ever worry about something like that, ever. honestly. wow. i'm sending a huge hug your way.]

"Babygirl, you just gotta play nice, and if she pisses you off at the show, throw her in the pit and show her what you're all about." He knew his girlfriend was small, but she could handle herself in a pit like a monster. He grimaced a little when she smoked his cigarette, he knew she smoked, but he didn't like it. He wanted her to be as healthy as she could. Plus, he felt like it was a habit she picked up because of him. Wrapping his free arm around her, he ran his hand through her hair. "I should be thanking you." He kissed the tip of her nose, and chuckled. "I actually finished a song, but it's not really romantic." He rolled his eyes. "It's more upbeat, and kinda poppy. Just something that Kingston thought up one night on molly." He shrugged.

"I'll have something brand new, just for you this weekend at our next show." He kissed the top of her head, put out his cigarette, and shut off the bedroom light. He turned on his stereo, and let Avenged Sevenfold lull in the background. "Makenna, I know we're literally only teenagers, but you know you're the only girl I've ever thought about spending my life with? Even with my dream of becoming famous... There's nobody else I'd want by my side through the entire ride. You've honestly helped mold me into who I am." Bryce pulled his soft, black blanket over the two of them. He would get her out of here, he'd make it big, and they'd end up somewhere.



Madi was happy Ashton was willing to try so hard for them. She sighed at the sight inside, rolling her eyes she followed Ashton out of the house, and down the street to the diner. She smiled as she walked inside, and was greeted by her new coworkers with warm welcomes. She had already told a few of the girls her situation, and how she was really with Ashton, but her piece of shit ex couldn't know yet. A lot of the girls understood her situation, and as much as they wanted to intervene, they knew they shouldn't. Taking a seat in a corner booth, Madi ordered herself a BLT and fries. She smiled to Ashton, "So I've been thinking about baby names."

As nervous as she was for the whole thing, she was trying to find some small happy parts to focus on. "Mira Laine, and Oliver Reece." She played with the straw in her drink. Lately all she had done was plan little things for the baby. Her baby shower ideas, nursery ideas, names, everything. "I know I should be more nervous, but I'm so excited." She reached for his hand. "I dunno, I kinda always knew when I met you that this is where we'd end up."

@ heroin bob.
[Thank you!]

Makenna smiled when he talked about how he always imagined being with her. "Well im glad you picked me for this adventure. It would have gotten lonely around here if you didnt." She said laughing softly. She snuggled under the blanket with him and closed her eyes. "Goodnight Bryce." She said. She laced her fingers with his and drifted off to sleep.

Makenna woke up the next morning and sighed as she stared up at Bryce's ceiling. She was excited for the show tonight. She looked over at Bryce then kissed him on the cheek, "Wake up sleepy head." she said.

----

Ashton smiled at her names she picked out, "I like those names." he said as he looked over the menu. "What are you going to get to eat baby?" He asked. He was glad she was working somewhere that actually treated her well. He just wanted her to feel normal for once.

@ Gunslinger;

Bryce was grateful for Makenna, having her in his life made things easier. “Goodnight, Mak.” Holding her close, he felt sleep wash over him. Before he knew it, Makenna’s sweet voice was waking him up. He slowly blinked, “Morning, beautiful.” Sleepily wrapping his arms around her small frame, he kissed her cheek in response. “I’m not ready to get up and do shit.” He laughed, and grabbed for his phone. The guys had blown his phone up, apparently they really needed to practice before the show that night.

Their new song had an acoustic vibe to it, something entirely knew for their sound. “Apparently I am being requested to practice.” He was excited to perform the new song, a little nervous, but he knew Makenna would love it, and that’s all he really cared about. “We can go grab some coffee really quick, then I have to head to Axel’s, and you girls have to go help Jess with an outfit.” He rolled his eyes, got up and went to change into something for the day. The guys had finally decided they were going to have matching outfits for their show that night, a little surprise for everyone. “And play nice with Jessica, she sucks, but she makes our friend happy.” Although he wasn’t sure how that was possible. At least with Makenna, she was fun, and down to party. Jess seemed like an uptight bitch.

--

Locking their fingers together, Bryce walked Makenna down the street to the little coffee shop. He ordered two chai tea latte’s, paid, and kissed Makenna’s cheek. “For my princess.” He enjoyed having the extra money to play around with. His ‘savings account’ (a shoebox under his bed) was growing, and soon he would have enough for a small camper. The guys had a plan to throw down on a vehicle, pack up, and head out. Bryce wasn’t going to tell his plan to Mak until he had the keys in his hand. The couple made their way up the autumn sidewalk to their friends house. Axel, Ashlyn, Jess, Kingston, and Colin were all lounging on the front porch. Jess had her arms across her chest, wearing a very typical outfit for the fall. Bryce couldn’t help but stare a little longer than he needed to. Shaking his gaze back to his girlfriend, he smiled. “Please behave?”

Jess walked towards them, a weak smile on her lips. “I have a car at least?” She wanted to attempt to make things less awkward between herself, and the others. Sighing, she went and pecked Axel. “I really don’t want to go do this.”

Axel chuckled, “Too bad, you need to wear something that doesn’t look so damn basic, babe.” He kissed the tip of her nose, “They’ll be nice, I swear.” The spiky haired boy smiled reassuringly, then gave a warning look to Makenna, “Make her hot, but not too hot.”

Rolling her eyes, Jess walked to her little civic, and climbed inside. She started up the car, along with the heat -- seeing as it had dropped a few degrees since she had left her house that day. She knew the show that night was indoors, so her outfit could be revealing, but she was still nervous. As the other two girls got into the car, she cleared her throat. “So do we go to the mall, thrift shop? Where to?”

--

Their set was going to start in twenty minutes. Bryce took a deep breath, chugging almost half a bottle of water. They were performing at a venue, this wasn’t just some house party, they were actually performing for a group of people they didn’t only attend school with. Bryce looked to his friends, each of them in the opposite colors of their lead singer, and best friend. The band before them finished up, the crowd was going insane. It was time for them to set up their set.

Jess kept her arms across her exposed midriff, “I really feel like I’m too … I’m not sure.” She shouted over the music that was going in between the sets. Before anyone could respond to her insecurity, the crowd erupted into a roar of screams as the boys filed out onto stage. Bryce took center stage, and grabbed the mic. Jess couldn’t help but stare directly at him, her eyes avoiding Axel.

Looking out over the crowd, Bryce found Makenna, standing next to Jess. Without realizing it, the blonde next to his girlfriend caught his attention --- his eyes didn’t leave.



Madi blushed, her eyes kept down at the menu. Her growling stomach wanted waffles, bacon, toast, eggs, and a milkshake. She laughed to herself, then told Ashton all the food she wanted. “I’m going to end up huge if I’m not careful.” Her new coworker came back, and took their orders. Within a few moments their food was sitting in front of them. “So, how are we going to do this?” She meant telling Chris, because it needed to come out soon. She wanted to be able to plan things with Ashton, and be open about her exciting news with the right people involved.

As the two talked, her mind kept wandering around to everything that was happening.
--

Chris came to after a while, taking a drink of water he grabbed his phone and sent Madi a texting. He wanted her to come home, and hang out with him. They had to talk about how he was going to tell his parents about the baby. They helped him with pretty much every financial issue he had -- they paid for his house for crying out loud. Rolling his eyes when Madi told him it would be another hour before they got back, he went to find Amy passed out in his bed. The walking animal woke the sleeping girl, and instigated what would be considered cheating if Madi actually cared.

--

Walking through the front door with Ashton, she could hear the squeaking of a bed. “Do you just want to go to my moms?” At least there the two of them could sleep, and be alone.

That evening after they got Jess what she needed to wear Makenna got dressed. She smiled at what Jess said, “You look fine.” She said as she took her through the crowd to the front. She looked at Bryce, thinking about how amazing he looked. Makenna ran her fingers through her hair, looking over as Ashlyn glared at Bryce. “Are you fucking kidding me?” Ashlyn said, seeing Bryce staring at Jess. Makenna followed her gaze and frowned. Ashlyn grabbed her arm, “Let’s go.” She said, pulling Makenna away from Jess, leaving her there. Makenna frowned as she walked out of the bar, “Why did you do that?” She asked, looking at Ashlyn. Ashlyn frowned, “Bryce is a fucking asshole that’s why. Jess had been here two days and he’s always checking her out. I’m going to kill him.” She snapped. “Nobody does that to my friend. Let’s go to my place my parents are out of town.” She said.

Makenna sighed as she walked into Ashlyn’s house, watching as her friend went to get them a bottle of vodka and beers. She felt bad about leaving, but she was slightly pissed that Bryce did that. Though her anger grew the more she drank and Ashlyn filled her head with ideas. She rolled her eyes when she heard a banging on the door. She knew it was the guys because she heard Bryce talking. Ashlyn walked out of the living room and opened the door. She lived in one of the nicer houses out of all of them. “Sorry she’s busy. She doesn’t have time for scum.” She said, going to shut the door on him. “Did you fuck Jess on the way?” Ashlyn ask, glaring at Bryce as he held the door open. She tried to shut it again, frowning as Bryce held the door again, “Move asshole.” She snapped.

Kingston sighed and moved between the two, “Ash come on let us in. I’m sure this is all a big misunderstanding.” He said, smelling the alcohol and weed. “Bryce didn’t do anything.” He said.

Ashlyn frowned, “Yes he did! He knows what he did!” She yelled at them. Ashlyn always got involved when it came to Makenna. Sure Makenna was closer to Bryce, but Ashlyn was next in line.

Makenna threw back another shot as the guys came in after managing to get past Ashlyn. She glared at Bryce as he walked over to her, “Get the fuck away from me.” She muttered. She rolled her eyes when he tried to talk, “You know what I’m not dealing with you I’m sorrys!” She snapped at him. “You suck.” She said, getting up. “You’re a liar and a cheater and you always will be.” She said, before getting up and grabbing the bottle in front of her. She walked away from them and went out to the back porch.

Ashlyn glared at Bryce before following her friend and shutting the patio door.

---

Ashton walked into the apartment, frowning when he heard the bed. He nodded, “Sure we can do that.” He said. He walked out with her and went back to her house. He sat down on her bed, looking at his phone. He knew that he had to get them out of this place. He looked over at her, then looked at his bag on the floor. “I um want to give you something. I need you find a safe place for it.” He said as he got up. He opened his bag, pulling out a huge amount of money. “I have been saving so we can get out of here.” He said, handing it to her. “It will probably be a little while longer because I want to make sure we have enough to cover bills for like two months. That way we can get settled and find jobs.” He said. He was hoping that she would like the idea. “I have been looking at a few places, but you can look if you want. Whatever you want I will make it happen.” He said. “But no mansion.” He teased her.

@ heroin bob.

@ Gunslinger;

Bryce’s line of vision was broken when he noticed Makenna leaving with Ashlyn. He zoned back into the song he was playing, but felt his heart breaking as he had to continue to sing while his girlfriend wasn’t even there. The set finished, although he really didn’t want to finish the entire thing. As they packed up, a few girls from the crowd came up to Bryce, and the guys, but none of them were having it at the moment. He kept trying to get Makenna to answer his texts, but he knew there wasn’t a chance. The boys loaded up, and made their way to Ashlyn’s house. It was their original plan to go there after the show, anyway.

They grabbed the bottle of vodka that was under the seat, and began to take swigs from it as they drove to the ‘nicer’ side of town. Bryce had taken at least six shots before they parked the car in the driveway. With one last long drink, he coughed some, finished his cigarette, and got out of the van. With a heavy sigh, he followed his drunken friends to the door. Kingston somehow managed to get the door opened, but Bryce had to fight to keep it open. “Look, I wasn’t trying to hurt anyone.” He rolled his eyes at her question, “Shut the fuck up. You know I wouldn’t do that to Mak.” He muttered an insult under his breath as he pushed his way in.

Bryce listened as his friend defended him against the shouting girl. He interrupted. “Fuckin’ tell me what I did then! Jesus, you’re such a bitch. This doesn’t involve you in the least, it involves Makenna, and I.” He slurred a bit, the alcohol had hit him, and his temper was wearing thin. Hot tears pricked his eyes as Makenna spewed her hate to him. Once the door was shut, he sighed and looked to his friends. “I’m gonna go drink a beer, then maybe I’ll go deal with that. I didn’t do anything wrong. Jess looked good, I didn’t mean to stare so long. Sue me.” He shook his head, grabbed a beer, and began chugging. Within a few more moments, he had finished two beers, and was looking for a bottle of something stronger.

Knowing Makenna had the bottle, he pushed his way out the door to the back patio. He saw the girls sitting on the table set they had all sat around so many times before. Sighing, Bryce sauntered over to snag the bottle from the girls. “If you have an issue with what happened then you can talk to me. Not her.” He glared towards Ashlyn. “I really don’t want her, I was looking out at the crowd… for you. I fucked up.” He sighed, his stomach in knots. He took a swig as big as he could manage.



Madi couldn’t contain her shocked expression when he handed her the money. “Oh my god… Ashton, I don’t even know what to say.” She bit her lip, looking down to the amount she wasn’t even sure of. “I’m not gonna ask how you got this much… I just want you to know that I’m so grateful that I’m going through this with you. And we don’t even need anything big, ever. We could always go look at a little two bedroom, maybe even a three bedroom. But I got my job at the diner, and I want to see how things go there… We could always move out of town, but I could still work there. Right?” She knew the dangers of Chris, once he were to find out the truth about the baby. He really wouldn’t stop at much to make sure she paid for what she did.

“Either way, we’ll figure it out. I’m so excited to have our little bundle here!” The poor girl had to keep pretending her life was what she wanted it to be, or she wouldn’t be able to handle everything happening to her. Looking to her phone, her eyes grew wide as they read the text she had received.

From: Chris
We need to talk, about the baby.
I heard something.

The small girl shakenly showed the phone screen to Ashton. “C-Chris knows something.”

--

Chris was done with Amy for the day. Logging onto Facebook, he saw he had a new message. Opening it up, his jaw dropped.

Yo, I just thought you should know that I’ve seen Ashton with your girl. Idk if that’s cool with you or not, but thought you should know. Also, I saw her going to the bathroom with him a few times when I’ve been over. Just sayin’, I’d check yo shit man.

Closing out of the message, he closed his eyes and inhaled slowly. Grabbing the baggie he had beside him on the table, he laid out a few lines, and took them up. He composed a message for his ‘girlfriend’. There was nothing he could do, but he knew she was a horrible liar when it came to confrontation.

--

“I don’t want to go. Something bad is going to happen, I just know it.”

Makenna sighed as she heard Bryce speak. A part of her wanted to punch him, but she couldnt. She stared at the table in front of her listening to him. Ashlyn glared at Bryce, standing up, "God you are such a fucking asshole Bryce!" She yelled at him. Makenna frowned as the two yelled, getting up, "Stop it!" She screamed at them. She stepped between the two, "Ashlyn please go inside." She said. She watched as her friend shut the door, hearing the drunk guys inside. Makenna looked at Bryce, crossing her arms, it was freezing out. "You say you dont want her? Then why did you fucking stare at her?" She snapped, smacking his arm. "Is that why you wanted me to dress her up for you!" She yelled at him. She glared at him, her eyes red from crying and the drugs. "Why would you do this to me?" She asked him softly. She stepped back when he went to move closer to her. "You promised you would change!" She screamed at him.

----
Ashton nodded, "Of course you can babe." He said, kissing her. He frowned when he seen the message, "Don't go." He said. He could tell from the text that it wouldnt end well. "Just don't answer it." He said, hugging her body to his. He kissed her cheek, "I don't want you near him." He said. He hated to think of her or the baby getting hurt.

[sorry this is short. I am on my phone i was at a concert and am in a hotel.]

@ heroin bob.

Bryce rolled his eyes when Ashlyn insulted him, nothing he hadn't heard before. He watched her go inside and chuckled a bit to himself before his eyes locked back to Makenna. "I didn't want you to dress her up for me, it was for the show and for her fucking dude. Jesus, Mak. I didn't mean to stare at her, I'm sorry. I really fuckin' am. But it's not like I went and fucked her or anything. Is that what you want me to do so you can have a real reason to be mad at me?" He wasn't sure what to say to her, "I didn't do it to you. I didn't want to do anything to you. All I do is take care of you, and make sure that you're okay." He shouted, his arms raised above his head. He was drunk, and angry. One of the worst combinations he could be. "I have fuckin' changed. But if you don't think I have, then fine."

The alcohol had taken over his entire system by now. The next day, he wouldn't remember a single moment of what had happened. Before he knew it, Bryce was hopping the fence of the backyard and making his way to a familiar house. Banging on the bottom window, he smirked as a girl opened it. Climbing inside the window, he grabbed the small figure by the hips and forgot who he was.

--

Groaning, and rolling to the side, he sat directly up. The room was recognizable, not in a way he wanted it to be though. He had hoped he would wake up beside Makenna, her sleepy eyes barely opening to him. Instead it was a redhead he had been with multiple times before. He wanted to die. His phone was lit up with notifications. He sent a message to Kingston.

I fucked up.

Grabbing his clothes, he watched the sleeping girl roll away from him. He went back out the window, and back to his house. Makenna had sent him a few messages, he wanted to throw up and he knew it wasn't from the alcohol. Running up to his room, Bryce grabbed his small tin of assorted drugs, and grabbed a few different pills. 'I'm done for today, maybe tomorrow.'



"I don't want to go, but I have to. You know I do." She sniffled, and turned so she could bury her face in his shoulder. "I'm scared, he had to of figured it out." Her heart was racing, her stomach was turning. She almost broke down as her phone began to vibrate for a phone call. The vibrating was continuous, once it stopped it started right back up. "Ashton, please. This is scaring me. I don't know what to do."

Getting up, she changed into a hoodie, and sweatpants. "We can go together, if he thinks he knows something, then he can handle it with the both of us." She was terrified. The only thing she could picture was Chris becoming so violent, that she would end up hurt, or worse the baby.

--

Arriving at the house, she grabbed Ashton's hand and started up the walkway.

@ Gunslinger;

Makenna stood there as he left her in the backyard. She had never felt so hurt by the way fact that he would just leave here. Makenna walked inside, going to the spare bedroom to sleep. She woke up the next morning, feeling awful. She stared at her hands as she sat in bed, thinking about Bryce. He never answered her text, which meant he ran off to some girl. She felt pissed off and she couldn't bring up any other emotion. He was the only one she really had and he betrayed her. Sure she had friends, but they didn't know her like Bryce did. Makenna got up and got dressed going to her house. She looked around not seeing her pathetic parents and she went to her mom's room finding her stash of pills. Makenna grabbed some then shoved them in her pockets before she left and went to her room. Makenna bit her bottom lip lightly as she took them, knowing that she shouldn't have, but she had nothing better to do. She seen that Bryce's dad had left his house and she wanted to go flip out on Bryce. She stood up, feeling the effects of the drugs.

Makenna walked into Bryce's house not caring anymore. She swung open his bedroom door, watching as he jumped up from his bed. "Have a nice night you fucking whore!" She screamed at him. She grabbed his shit off his desk and threw it at him. She walked over to him, "I fucking hate you!" She screamed as she slapped him. She frowned when he grabbed her arm to stop her, "Get off of me." She said, her drug filled eyes looking at him. She pulled out of his grasp and hit him, "Don't ever touch me!" She screamed at him. She stared at him, trying to feel anything but hate for him. "You left me." She said, stepping away from him. "You fucking left!" She screamed at him. "You were suppose to be the one that is there for you me you piece of shit!" She yelled at him. "Say something!" She yelled at him. "Or do you not want me because i'm not a fucking slut? Is that it?" She asked. "Is that what you want?" She asked, getting in his face. She started to pull off her clothes, "Huh? Is that what you want Bryce?" She screamed.

---

Ashton shook his head, "Please I don't think this is a good idea." He said. When she mentioned him going he sighed. He had a feeling that them both being together would only make it worse. He walked with her, "If he loses it I want you to run and get away from here." He said. "Promise me." He said, running his fingers through her hair. He sighed as she knocked and stood behind her. He crossed his arms, watching as Chris opened the door. "Hey man." He said. He knew he could play it off well.

@ heroin bob.

Bryce jumped when his door swung open, before he could react he was being pummeled by random objects from his desk. He let her scream, he let her hit him a few times before he grabbed her arm. He was stunned, there was no other action he could have. He watched her step back from him, his hand now empty from her small arm. He wasn't sure what to say, or do. All she wanted to do was tell him she hated him, and he didn't blame her, he hated himself. He didn't want anything to do with himself, but he also knew he couldn't end his life, so he just numbed it. As she screamed, tears welled in his eyes. "Fucking stop it, Makenna! I don't want a fucking slut, I want you. I've wanted you for so many fucking years, it kills me." He tried to stop her from taking her clothes off. He grabbed her hands, wrapping himself around her. "Please, fucking stop."

Sobs escaped his lips as he held her, she was fighting back, he didn't care. "I fucking love you. I love you so much, Makenna. If I could marry you, I'd marry you. If I could get us a house somewhere nice, I would. I would do anything for you. I fucked up. I'm awful. I'm a piece of shit. I don't deserve you, or deserve to live." He let his grip loosen some. He didn't want to take the chance of hurting her. "You're so amazing, Makenna. You're perfect. You're an angel. You're my angel. You bring me so much happiness, and peace."



She knew it wasn't a good idea, she knew it wasn't safe for the two of them to see Chris, but she also was tired of having to lie. Madi was ready to tell people about her pregnancy, and be able to share her experience with everyone. And she didn't want to do that, if she had to lie about who the father of her baby was. Her heart almost stopped when Chris opened the door. His eyes were bloodshot, and his nose was red, and irritated.

He stepped out onto the front porch with the two of them. "So, do you guys have something you want to tell me? Because I heard some interesting shit. Like that the two of you have been fucking in my fucking bathroom? And making a damn joke of me." He laughed a little bit, sniffed his nose, and cleared his throat. He stepped up to Ashton, "So best friend, wanna tell me why you fucked my girl?" Madi went to say something, Chris stuck his hand up to her. "I will deal with you in a minute, you little whore."

@ Gunslinger;

Makenna felt his arms around her and she still fought against him, eventually giving in as she listened to him talk. It wasn't often that Bryce cried and she had only seen it a few times. She pulled away from him, tears running down her cheeks. "Then why did you hurt me?" She whispered. Makenna set on his bed, feeling sick from the drugs and emotions. "Bryce, I can't do this without you." She said, looking over at his wall. "I don't have anyone, but you." She whispered. She looked at him, wiping the tears off her face, "All you had to say was that you were sorry, but you ran off." She said. She looked at her hands, "I need to lay down." She said, the room spinning around her. She climbed onto his bed more and laid on her side. "Lay with me." She whispered, feeling herself passing out slowly. She fought to open her eyes as she felt him climb on the bed, but gave in anyway.

---

Ashton could tell Chris was fucked up, "Dude I didn't fuck her." He said, looking at him. "Whoever told you that is a fucking liar." He said. "Don't you remember our plan?" He asked. "You want to just throw that all away because someone lied to you?" He asked. Chris had been his best friend forever. They started out on the streets when they were younger and eventually got an apartment. "Come on man you know I would never do anything to ruin our friendship." He said. The more he thought about it the more he realized he did betray his best friend and he felt bad. Chris was a dick to Madi though and he couldn't let that happen anymore.

Bryce felt his stomach dropped, seeing her cry was his least favorite thing in the world. He knew he caused her tears, which made him feel worse. "I didn't want to hurt you. I don't know why I did it. I'm an idiot. I truly am sorry." He sat down beside her. He listened to every word she said, taking in the emotions behind them. "I'm never going to leave you again, I swear. I'm here for the rest of my life, just yours. Only yours." Moving closer, he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer. "I love you." He knew she was asleep, but he wanted to tell her everything on his mind. Unfortunately, the drugs took over and his body drifted.



Chris rolled his eyes, "Man I don't know who to believe anymore. You guys have been spending a lot of time together, and I really can't figure out why." Shaking his head, he turned to Ashton completely. "I'm going to trust you, but if that kid comes out looking anything like you. And I mean anything, then there will be some consequences."

Madi cringed as he spoke. She didn't want to lie, but now she was more terrified than in the beginning. They would be finding out the gender in a few weeks, she wanted to celebrate and be excited, instead she was afraid of the baby being born. "Ashton has been helping me while you've been fucked up every day." She snapped a bit, if she couldn't be entirely honest, she'd be somewhat. "You scare me, and it's not good for me to be around." Her hands went over her stomach. "You're terrifying to be around when you're on drugs."

@ Gunslinger;

Makenna woke up the next morning, feeling Bryce's arm around her. She barely remembered what had happened the night before, but she remembered coming to argue with Bryce about what happened at the concert. She sat up slightly, seeing the mess that was now his room. She sighed as she laid back, knowing they must of really argued. They had argued more now than ever before and she didn't like that. She looked over at Bryce and poked him, "Get up." She said. She watched as his eyes fluttered open, god why did he have to be so beautiful. She stared at him, "What the fuck happened last night?" She asked. She didn't remember shit after leaving Ashlyn's house. She ran her fingers through her hair as she laid in Bryce's bed. She knew she was starving though, "You wanna go get food?" She asked him. She could tell he was hungover as well.

She got up when he agreed to go and sat on the end of his bed, pulling her shoes on. She texted their friends and told them where to meet at. "Come on lazy ass get up." She teased Bryce. She moved so she was over his body, "I'm sorry for being a bitch last night." She said, kissing his cheek. "But if you ever talk to her again I will kill you both." she said before getting up.

Ashton looked at Chris as he watched his friend listen to Madi speak. He looked at his friend, "Look I was just trying to help her out when she needed it man. We are just friends." He said. "You know people like to try to start shit between us. They do it all the time." He said, touching his friend's shoulder. "I just want to do everything I can for you and Madi." He assured his friend. He hated lying, but if it would keep Madi and his baby safe then he was going to lie his ass off. Ashton looked between the two, "Why don't we all go eat at the 24hr diner down the street? It's on me. I'm sure Madi is hungry." He said.

Bryce felt a poke in his sleep, he had been dreaming about the band getting big, them being able to actually tour and make something of themselves. He smiled a bit when his eyes opened, and he was able to see Makenna. Her sour question was one way to start the day, but he knew she wasn't trying to start anything. "We just got into it, nothing big. We're allowed to have fights, babe. I fucked up." He couldn't help but stare at her, he had no clue why he did what he did. All he wanted was to look at her, and be with her. Before he could answer about food, he watched as she got ready to go.

Rolling his eyes, Bryce stayed in bed for a moment. He smiled at the peck, "You're all I need, babygirl." He tried to grab for her before she got up. "I don't want to get up yet, I know you're hungry, but I wanna hold you." Jokingly whining, Bryce slowly got up and got himself dressed. His room was a wreck, there were bruises on his body for a few different reasons, and his head was pounding.

Meeting up with their friends for breakfast, they picked a back corner booth for everyone to fit in. The whole crew was a disaster of a sight. The girls had makeup smudged, and barely on. The boys smelled of stale cigarettes, and body odor. Nothing they hadn't been out like before, but nonetheless, they were a sight.



Madi felt her heart break when she realized the lie would have to continue. "He's just been good to us, babe. I swear." She looked down to her small bump, and nodded about food. There wasn't much she could say. Her head was full of terrified thoughts. They should've been honest, but she knew it wasn't safe. Following the boys to the car, and then into the diner, she was silent. Her whole body was cold, and numb. She ordered a small plate of french toast, and hashbrowns.

Chris felt better once his best friend had reassured him that it was all a lie. "So man, I was wondering if you'd be down for a party tonight. Madi obviously can't join in on any of the fun, but that doesn't mean we can't." Chris sat back in the booth, his arm stretched on the back behind Madi. "Besides, she'll probably be too tired to even attend it."

She kept her head down, biting her tongue.

@ Gunslinger;

Makenna laughed softly as he pulled her back into bed. She kissed him, then watched as he got up and got changed. She got ready then went with him to the restaurant. She sat down next to Bryce and looked over the menu.
Ashlyn looked at Axel, "Why do you even bother looking at the menu? You get the same thing every time." She teased him.

Axel looked at her, "Today may be the day for change." He said, chuckling. "It probably isn't, but it might." He said, laughing.

Makenna closed the menu when she decided then looked at Bryce, "What are you getting?" She asked. She assumed he would get the same thing he always did. She let her fingers move through his hair when he looked at her. She really did love Bryce, but she knew that it was going to be a very bumpy road for them. She let her hand fall and rest on the table as she listened to the guys complain about being hungover. She was pretty hungover herself, but she was holding her own. She looked over as the waitress came over and ordered some eggs and bacon along with toast. She took a sip of her drink that the girl brought and looked at Ashlyn who just didn't speak to Bryce. She assumed her friend was still mad at him. Ashlyn had a way of holding grudges longer than Makenna.

Ashton looked at him, "Yea man. I am totally down for that." He said, taking a sip of his soda he ordered. He ordered himself an omelette and sausage. He looked at Madi, "Oh i'm sure she can hang for a bit and at least enjoy the snacks." He teased, smiling. Ashton chuckled along with Chris. He knew that he had to keep the appearance up in order to make sure that Madi was okay. He would not be leaving her alone with Chris though.
