I Won't See You Tonight

--Brian--

I couldn’t take it anymore! The way she flaunted him, rubbing their relationship in my face… Secretly laughing at me, secretly celebrating the fact that she’d taken the only thing I had!

He laughed with her! He laughed because he’d found his whore. He found the girl that would never deny him.

Not that I would ever deny him, but she’d brainwashed him. She fed him lies as she kept her legs open, at least she was fucking good at something. She couldn’t even get into fucking college. Maybe if she sucked off the teachers there, she would have had a chance.

He thought he was in love, she didn’t love him. She told me, she told me she did it just to spite me! She came at me last night, digging her nails into my wrist as she tried to wake me and told me that her “boy-toy is a good fuck” and that she could see why I loved him. She’s such a fucking slut.

“Are you okay, Brian?” Johnny asked looking at me oddly.

“Can you fucking believe this?!” I asked pointing to my wrist.

He stared at me for a long time, “What?”

“The marks from her nails, you moron!” I said staring at the scabbing and bruised wounds.

“Dude… There’s nothing there,” he blinked, not even questioning who had given me such wounds.

I grumbled and got up.

I should just kill them both.

--Breanne--

Six months.

Six wonderfully amazing months of Zacky and I spending every second together.

The entire band, along with Layne and I were out to dinner at an amazing restaurant. With only a month of the tour left, we were all getting pretty antsy, spending much of our time on the bus so Matt decided we should all go to a fancy place he’d seen on the drive to Boston for tomorrow’s concert.

Brian still wouldn’t talk to me, and I’d catch him muttering and staring at Zacky and I with a look of death.

I don’t mean that metaphorically…

He was scaring me.

We’d just gotten our food when Zacky stood up suddenly. “I have something I’d like to say…” he smiled. We all looked up at him with anticipation. “Bree,” he smiled, “I’ve been in love with you since before I knew what love was… You’re what I live for, you’re the reason I breathe. I know you feel the same, and that’s why I need to ask… Breanne Elizabeth Haner… Will you grant me the honor of never having to wake up without you, making me the happiest guy in the world… Will you grant me the honor of marrying me?” he asked before getting on his knee and pulling out a silver band holding a purple sapphire in the center.

I felt tears forming, and for the first time in what felt like years, they were the result of euphoria. Everyone gasped with eagerness, awaiting my answer. I threw my arms around Zacky’s neck as he place the ring on my finger, “Of course I will!”

--Matt--

Emotions are a confusing thing, really.

I was so happy to see my two best friends getting engaged, so happy I ignored Brian’s quick and silent exit. “Congratulations!” I said with a smile before ordering Champagne all around. I hugged them both, kissing Bree on the cheek, “I told you this would work out!”

“That’s why you’re the best man,” Zacky smirked.

“Aw, I wanted Matt to be the maid of honor! I guess Layne will have to do,” she teased.

They were so perfect together, how could you not love them?

But… At the same time, a part of me shattered. I’d never have my Bree again, and I did love her… I loved her in a friendly way, much different from the way Zacky did…

But at the same time, I also loved her the way Zacky did.

I knew now, that I had nothing to do but move on. I’d happily do it for them, maybe Bree wasn’t the one for me anyhow… Who knew? We were still young.
