Austin:
I watched Alan as he walked to the back lounge. Ok, well I watched his ass as he walked to the back lounge. I stared guiltily at my best friend's boyfriend. I would never wish heartbreak on Silver, but, dear god, did I want those two to just break up already. I knew neither of them were happy, we all did, and it was hurting me to watch three of my best friends hurt over this relationship.

Liar, you want Alan single because you want him to fuck you senseless and be yours. Ok, I knew Alan and I could never be a thing, but when he's single at least I can dream.

I heard a commotion come from the guys next to me, but was too deep in thought to respond. Tino snapped his fingers in front of my face, causing me to snap my attention to him.

"Dude, goal! It's over!" I hummed my understanding. "You ok, Austin? You seem out of it."

I shrugged. "I'm fine."

"You're a fucking horrible liar," Aaron laughed as he walked to the fridge.

"Fuck off!"

He chuckled. "He's got it bad for Ashby, and is just seething at the thought of him dating Sil."

I glared daggers at him. Thanks A.P., you fucking asshole, for just broadcasting that information. "I hate you."

He laughed again. "Oh don't get your panties in a bunch, Carlile. It's not like it wasn't obvious."

"Whatever," I mumbled, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Don't worry, bro, I'm rooting for the breakup just as much as you are." Aaron gave me a solid pat on the back before bidding goodnight.

I sighed. A guy can dream.

Aaron:
I couldn't get her out of my head. I tried everything. I went for runs. I went hard at shows. I wrote three entire songs! Nothing was working. The worst part was knowing how bad this relationship was for everyone. I was miserable, Austin was miserable, Alan was a wreck, and Silver was sure as fuck as far from happy and sane as a person could get.

I rolled over in my bunk, disappointing by the empty space that Silver had once occupied. It's all your fault. If you hadn't let her go in the first place everything would be ok. I swallowed. I was probably right. If I hadn't told Silver to go be with Alan she wouldn't have relapsed, Austin wouldn't be miserable, I wouldn't be miserable...but Alan would still be unhappy. Ugh! I wanted to bash my skull on a brick wall. Why is this so complicated?

I sighed and settled in for yet another sleepless night.

Notes

I'm shit at updating. I'm sorry :( but I got a gecko and I've been keeping an eye on him lately. He's an albino leopard gecko and his name is Ghost (as in the bassist of MIW). Sorry, I'm excited about him. Anyway, enjoy! I'll try to get at least one more update out before I leave to go camping on Thursday. (Like no cell service, no wifi for five days camping) I'll probably write while I'm there and post when I get back., but there will be at least one more update before then. Enjoy loves! - Anna
