Where Do We Go From Here?

Hanging out with the boys for the past two days has been amazing but today... oh boy was today gonna be, well, interesting.

My friends are coming over to meet them and I wasn't really all too keen on it. They were the rowdy type of girls.. The typical 'Party Girls' or 'Groupies' if you will.

Them being around five dudes who all had girlfriends wasn't something they were used to. They enjoyed bar hopping on the weekends, not just hanging out.

"Don't be so stressed out, I'm sure they won't be that crazy." Ben said while I was frantically cleaning the house just so I had something to do.

"Babe, You don't get it. We were all obsessed with you guys, the ultimate fangirls. While I kinda grew out of that stage, they didn't. To you they would be groupies right now if they could." I chuckled slightly.

"Oh, lovely." Ben chuckled and shook his head.


I went about cleaning some more until every thing that I could clean, was cleaned. In about an hour, Ally, Erika, Amanda and Jayme would all be here. I still wasn't mentally prepared for it.

"So are these chicks hot?" James asked and it felt as though my jaw hit the floor.

"Well, yes but you have a girlfriend and best believe any of you fucks do anything dumb, I'm gossiping." I said sternly and James chuckled.

"You know I'd never do anything, I was just fuckin around to get you talking. You've been quiet all day." He smiled and I rolled my eyes.

I was about to say something when my doorbell rang and a few rapid knocks at my door came soon after. I took a deep breath and put a bright smile on my face.

"Hey!" I said and gave the girls a hug each. They all squealed quietly and I began to introduce them.

"Guys, these are my friends, Amanda, Erika, Ally and Jayme." I pointed each one of them out to the guys and they politely greeted them.

"The foods gonna be done soon so." I said awkwardly, unsure of what would come next.

I walked into the kitchen and made myself a drink, Ben came in and stood next to me.

"You really didn't want them here huh?" He said with a small chuckle. I just looked at him, a slight sadness to my eyes.

"It's not that I don't it's just they're so much to handle sometimes." I sighed. Ben wrapped me into his arms and I smiled. He was so sweet sometimes.

I took a sip of my drink and walked back out into my back yard. The boys looked a bit awkward while the girls were talking to them, asking questions and it just seemed like a very one sided conversation.

"Don't be too invasive guys, I'm sure the guys just want to be normal humans for the night." I chuckled but hoped they would actually take the hint to stop being such obvious fan girls.

We talked about random things until I had to go back inside to get the food. I had made nachos and some pulled pork and cheeseburger sliders AKA super simple drunk food.

I brought everything out and it seemed like everything was going a bit better. We talked a bit more before the questions started up again.

"So, how did you guys meet?" Amanda asked, glancing between Ben and I.

"It was almost two years ago when we were here on our last tour and we needed a photographer, I noticed Becca was being given a hard time by the security guards for her camera and I told them that she could bring it in because we needed a photographer and she happened to have a good camera. We just kind of hit it off from there." Ben smiled, a slight tinge of red forming on his face.

"Wait, the concert we had gone to? Is that why you didn't go home with us?" Ally asked and I nodded.

"We all just hung out afterwards." I fibed, just a bit. I mean, it wasn't a total lie... we did hang out.

"Yeah, I'm sure." Amanda said bluntly and I felt my face begin to burn.

"So do you guys have girlfriends?" Jayme asked even though she knew the answer. I rolled my eyes and got up to start the fire since I was getting a bit chilled. Ben got up to follow me.

"I really don't know how much of them I'll be able to handle." I sighed as I grabbed some logs from the side of my house.

"They aren't that bad. A little pushy but we've all seen much worse." Ben said in attempts to make me feel a little better.

"Give it another hour, they get worse. I've seen it." I gave him a deadpanned look before walking to my fire pit and placing the logs and some kindling in before lighting it. The group that sat at the table noticed the fire and made their way to where Ben and I were.

It only got more infuriating for me from there. The more they drank, the more obnoxious and 'flirty' they got. By one in the morning, I was done. I couldn't handle it anymore.

"Well, I think it's time to call it a night. do you guys want me to call a cab to take you home?" I said, faking a yawn.

"No, we can just stay here!" Erika exclaimed, barely forming the sentence through her slur.

"All the rooms are taken up since the guys are here, I'll just call you guys a cab." I said, hoping they would just accept.

"You know, you're a real bitch." Amanda said and my eyes widened.

"And you're a drunk mess, hitting on dudes that are already in relationships." I shrugged and dialled up a cab service.

"Don't be so high and mighty, we all know Chris had a girlfriend when you got with him too." She snapped back and it took all I had not to knock her ass out.

"The difference is, I learned my lesson; you clearly.. did not." I sneered. "Feel free to let yourselves sit out front. The cab will be here in ten." I rolled my eyes and put the fire out.

The boys sat there for a moment, watching me walk away in slight disbelief. I could hear one of the girls ask if one of them wanted to come with them, I chuckled and slammed my glass door shut.

I sat on my couch, pretty pissed over how they acted even though I had expected it and even voiced it to the guys.

I heard the door open a few minutes later and feet shuffling through my kitchen.

"Babe, you okay?" Ben asked and I looked up at him, defeated for trying to be nice.

"I don't know why I'm even friends with them. They do this all the time. I'm nothing like them." I murmured. He sat down next to me and pulled me into his arms; rubbing my back gently.

"You tried, love." He said and I could feel my defeated tears welling up behind my eyes.

"I did. I thought they would act differently and even though I knew this would happen... I just hoped it wouldn't. They're party girls, they always will be." I sniffled.

"Beck, They're typical hoes. You're a good girl, better than them at least. Leave them behind." Denis said and I smiled a bit but frowned.

"It's never that easy though. We've all been best friends since middle school. I know I shouldn't necessarily be like this but They're really all I have in town. They were there for me through everything, I can just drop them." I mumbled, wiping the tears from my eyes and snot from my leaky nose.

"You can. Those girls are nothing but bad news. You don't need people who will bring up the bad times just because they're angry." Ben said and I nodded.

"Come on, let's go to sleep, it'll make you feel better to just pass out and forget about tonight." Ben mumbled and kissed the side of my head that faced him.

"Yeah, forget those hoes!" James said in a very flamboyant voice. It got me to chuckle. I got up, calmed myself down and took a deep breath.

"Thanks for dealing with them tonight." I said to all of them and they just nodded as if saying it was all good.

I sluggishly walked up the stairs and plopped back onto my bed with a big sigh. Ben sat back next to me and chuckled.

"What?" I looked over to him and he was just smiling while looking up at my ceiling.

"I've never seen you get angry so quickly before and then get so emotional about not having them around." He rolled over to face me and I looked away.

"They're my best friends but I hate them so much sometimes. I can't imagine not having them in my life to some degree." I said, a slight frown falling upon my face.

"Sometimes things end. Friendships don't always last and some people show you why they don't deserve you as a friend. It may piss you off but in the end, it's better to leave toxic people behind than have them circling around." he said and it hit me really hard. This is something he had to go through with Danny, from what I understand, and he knows exactly how this feels.

"Yeah, you're right. It's better to kick them than keep them." He smiled at me and I rolled back up.

"I'm gonna take a shower, care to join?" I asked and his eyebrow perked up and a wicked smile formed on his face before slowly getting up to follow me. We both undressed and hopped into the shower.

He pinned me against the wall, water falling onto us and he started kissing me with vigor. We stopped kissing and soaped each other up and ended up kissing once again. It gradually got hotter and heavier; between kissing and washing up by the time the water ran cold, we were already out and onto the bed.

"I fucking love you so much." Ben said in a raspy winded voice. I leaned up and kissed him to close the gap between us and it felt as though time had slowed.


I knew then that this was meant to be. All that has led up to this point was meant to happen, all the heartbreak and meaningless relationships had to happen so I could be in this very moment. One single night changed my life for the better and nobody could take that from me.
