We're All Crooked Young

I bit my lip absentmindedly as I ran my fingers over the notebook of wedding plans. The wedding is so close and so much needs to be done. All the guys left hours ago . I don't know where but Alan said they all went to band practice.



I looked up to see Arry hugging a pillow in the black leather couch as she stared off into the distance. When she came back from her run , she seemed different.



"Hey Arl.. you okay? " I questioned and she snapped out her thoughts and looked at me confused.



"Uhh yea . " She whispered before getting up and looking over her own wedding plans.


I hummed in response .


"Okay ... so we've got all the seating arrangements taken care of. My dress and all the Bridesmaids and the location is all down pack. All there is left is the food and the invitations to be sent out. " I trailed off looking over the plans.




"How about we go to the bakery tomorrow morning? Plus , I still need to make sure my dress is here next week so can we stop by the shop?" She questioned sounding excited and I nodded.


"What were your colors again?" I questioned.



"White and Deep pink. I know it's a bit ordinary but my dress isn't. Plus we're having it on a beach during the sunset. .." she trailed off happily and I smiled.



"Well I feel so introverted. My colors are Black and Royal blue and the setting will be a beach but it's a night. " I giggled before the phone rang.



Her face drained as she looked at her phone and before I could pick it up. She snatched it up and ran out the living room.


I was confused but maybe it was Ricky.


-Two Hours later--





She finally came out but her face had a huge frown. "Who was that? " I questioned. Her eyes dropped back on the table.

"Uhh .. uhmm Ricky. Ya know he called to say I love you .... ya know the usual" She rushed out and fidgeted around awkwardly. I arched my eyebrow at her and continued.


After two whole months of crazy planning. It was all done , the Bridesmaids are coming tomorrow as well to pick out food with me. My dress is wrapped up nicely in my closet. I breathed deeply in relief and slumped in my chair.



I checked my phone and noticed it was 3am.


"Oh shit !" I screamed and she jumped and looked at me. "What? " She questioned sounding concerned. "It's three in the morning. Where the hell are the guys ?!" I screamed and as if on cue , all the guys burst in .



Austin looked scared shitless while all the guys looked shit faced except Ricky and Chris.


We both got up and stood in front of them , I could smell the alcohol and I became pissed. Austin KNOWS I don't like when he comes home drunk off his ass.


"Where in the hell have you guys been?" I questioned. Alan started laughing loudly and I glared at Austin.


"Uhm... we were at a bar " Austin whispered.


"Alan said you were all at practice? So either he lied or you all went there then got drunk. " I spat beyond furious at this point.



"Wait ahhh bbbaaarr ??? We went to the str-" Balz slurred before Austin quickly silenced him with a hand to the mouth.



"What was he about to say Austin? " I growled.


"Nothing babe . How was wedding plans? " He questioned as he pushed all the guys out the house leaving Ricky alone with him.


"I'll ask you one more tim-" I growled before he pulled me into his grasp and kissed me hard. He gripped my ass with one hand as as usual I melted into the kiss. The taste of alcohol and mint gum tainted my tongue as he pulled away.



I looked deep into those chocolate orbs and all my anger had faded.


"I said , we went to a bar . Now drop it " he whispered apologetically in my ear before leaving and heading up stairs.


I looked at Ricky and Arlet who were already leaving.


Before they left , Arlet gave me a look of an emotion I didn't recognize.


What's going on with her?




--Ricky's POV--

I almost pissed myself when we left the house. Should I tell Arry what happened? I bit my lip nervously. All the guys had agreed that we wouldn't tell the girls , even though Balz almost did.


As we got in her car and drove home , I couldn't help but fidget around .


I really didn't want her to be mad at me like Cass was to Aus. But I know I shouldn't lie to her.


I looked her over and she looked more exhausted than usual... as we got home and sat in the living room .


She instantly started to walk up the stairs in silence. "You're not even going to ask where I've been too?" I questioned and she turned around and bit her lip as she walked over to me and kissed me passionately before pulling away.



"As long as you're safe. That's all that matters baby . I love you goodnight" She whispered brokenly and I pulled her back to me . "Arry are you okay? You've been acting so different lately. .." I whispered .



"I'm just tired is all . I have a lot on my plate. .." she whispered before walking away. I bit my lip nervously as I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a monster and thought about her.







I have a feeling that whatever she's hiding. .. it's bigger than what she's expressing.
