Chapter 5

“ Why didn't you say so sooner. I'm happy congratulations babe”.

“ Congratulations Mal. God imagine we're doing this shit at one in the morning. Let's head back to the house we need to celebrate this occasion ”. Nella said.

We all headed back to the house,we left Macy there. I honestly didn't expect her to behave that way. When we went to the house, Nella and Chris got more alcohol. We were sitting and talking. Aleck was sitting beside me.

“ So who's the lucky guy, How long have you guys been dating?”. Rea asked. Mallory smiled but looked ashamed.

“ Come on Mal ” , Nella said

“ We've been dating since college, You guys know him ” ,She said quietly. I was looking at everyone,Dean looked uninterested so did Aleck, Chris just looked confused. I looked at Andrew and he looked ashamed.

I jumped up. “ Oh my fucking god. You two sneaks ” , I said looking at Mallory ,she nodded.

“ Congratulations Andrew “ , I said, hugging him.

“ Wait, wait wait hold the fuck up. I hung out with you a month ago and you didn't say shit . Congratulations man I'm happy for you guys”, Chris said grabbing Andrew.

“ Thanks Guys,it just happened and we let it happen. We didn't want anyone to know so we just acted like normal “. Andrew said

“ Congratulations. It's okay we don't care. As long as you and Mallory are happy then we're happy for you two ” ,Dean said shaking his hand.

“ We wanted everyone here because we need bridesmaids and groomsmen. Also I need a maid of honour ” , Mallory said looking at me. I looked at Rea and Nella.

“ Nope not me” ,Nella said

“ Yea I'm not it . Maid of honour is a big fucking Job so now. Have fun Layla ” ,She said laughing.

“ Will you be my matron of honour, Layla?.” Mallory asked squeezing my hand.

“ Okay. Thank you for trusting me” ,I said, hugging her.

“ Dean You're Best man.” Andrew said, looking at him.

“ Okay. Have you started making wedding plans yet?”. Aleck asked.

“ No ,we wanted to let you guys know first”, Mallory said.

“ Okay. Just tell Layla what you want Mallory and we'll handle everything “. Dean said.

“ Guys, that's not necessary”. Andrew said.

“ Shut up , you don't get a say. Your friends are billionaires . You've been our friend since freshman year so let us do this” , Aleck said, taking a drink from his beer.

We saw Macy Walk up the stairs.

“ Layla I'm sorry,for everything I said ” , I didn't look at her, I saw Nella and Rea shaking their heads.

“ You can't blame me, it's just the way you are always around them” , Macy said.

“ Don't speak to her. There's nothing you could say that can explain your behaviour”. Dean said

“ See , Even now you're defending her” ,she said

“ I guess growing up Rich has made you fucking stupid Macy. Leave us alone we don't want you here” , Nella said.

“ I'm going to bed . Dean ,Aleck stop drinking, you guys have had enough. It's already late why don't we all get some rest and we'll talk tomorrow “ , I said standing up.

“ Night guys” ,Rea said following me.

“ Andrew, there's no need to use another room when the secret is out ” ,Aleck said.

“ Shut up “.

We all headed in and to our rooms. I grabbed a quick shower and got to bed. My mind was working overtime. I was happy for Mallory and Andrew. She was the nicest person I've ever known and she deserves this happiness. My mind turned to Dean and Aleck.

Now that they know and we're all here I don't think I could avoid them anymore. They're going to be in my life and I had no choice but to let them ,seeing as now I was Mallory's maid of Honour and Dean was the Best man. I tried turning off my brain but couldn't. I grabbed a hoodie and went downstairs. I walked out the door and down the beach.

The cold breeze wasn't good and with all the alcohol I had in me was hitting me hard now. I walked along the shore line, and I saw someone standing in the distance. It was probably one of the girls. As I got closer I noticed the stature and it was a guy,it could only be Aleck, Dean or Chris.

As I got closer,I realised it was Dean. I turned around and headed back to the house. I don't think he saw me but I was walking under the Shadow of the trees when I felt him behind me.

“ Why are you out here at this hour?" It's too Cold for you to be out here, “ He said ,his warm breath on my neck. He was drunk. I felt him move and suddenly he put his jacket on me.

“ Dean ?”. That was Macy , she was looking for him. He grabbed me and pulled me behind one of the larger trees. My back against the tree as he stood in front of me. Looking down at me. His hands held me around my waist.

“ Dean? What are you doing?. Why are we hiding”. He leaned forward and whispered in my ears. “ Shh, she's right there ,Do you want her to see us and start her shit again?”. I could Smell the alcohol on his breath. I felt his hands move and he was fully hugging me by the waist pulling me in closer to me.

“ DEAN? ,I know you're here ,I know she's with you”. Macy yelled again.

Here I was , loaded with alcohol, hiding in the dark with someone I shouldn't be alone with, and hiding from someone I shouldn't hide from. For the life of me I didn't move and didn't understand why I couldn't. I could just pull myself away and leave but I didn't.

He leaned in closer to me. “ You smell Really fucking good. We missed you Layla” , he whispered,his mouth so close to my ears and his warm breath caused me to tremble. Jesus Christ this can't be happening.

“ God damnit, where the hell are you two ?. I know you're out here”. Macy yelled, her voice was getting closer. He moved to the side and pulled me with him. When I looked over his shoulder, I saw Aleck. I couldn't think, I wanted to push Dean away but it was like my brain shut off . What confused me further was when Aleck walked right past us and called Macy.

“ Can you stop shouting my brothers fucking name. Get your shit , I'm calling for the jet to get your crazy ass ”.

“ You know don't you,you know they're fucking each other “.she yelled.

“ You're truly fucking insane. Whoever my brother is fucking is his business I'm glad it isn't fucking you. Get your shit I want you out of here before sunrise ”. He said

I looked at Dean ,he didn't say anything, he just kept staring at me. When I could no longer hear Their voices , I removed his hands from my waist,but he grabbed me, pulling me back into him.

“ Dean, come on ,let go. You're drunk “.

“ No I'm not. You've changed. You've become more beautiful, all these tattoos”. His warm breath sent a shiver throughout my body. I couldn't handle this. I pulled his hands away and walked away for a split second. I thought I heard him say fuck and then groaned. What the hell was up with him. He had to be really drunk to act like that.

When I walked up the patio stairs Macy was sitting there.

“ Where's Dean?, Where were you?. You were fucking weren't you.” she asked .

I don't know what came Over me ,but I punched her in the mouth. I guess her yelling was loud enough because I heard windows opening. I saw Aleck walk out and put her suitcase In Front of her. Dean walked out a few seconds later.

“ You fucking hit me” ,She yelled.

“ Yes I did. Maybe it's the alcohol, maybe I'm just tired of you yelling in my fucking face every single time that I'm fucking Dean. What the Fuck can you do if I was actually fucking him ? , answer?What can you do? Jesus fucking Christ “.

“ Every single time, You're fucking each other, you're sleeping with each other. Give it a fucking rest”. I looked at Dean and Aleck.

“ THIS . THIS IS WHY WE CAN NO LONGER BE FUCKING FRIENDS” , I yelled walking into the house and straight up to the room. Once there,I Sat behind the door and cried. I was tired, we were just here for one day and it all went to shit. I heard a knock , I stood up and opened the door Mallory didn't say anything she just came in and held me and let me cry.

After I calmed down she looked at me .

“ Are you better Now?”

“ I'm sorry for the way I reacted. But I'm just tired of hearing everyone say shit like that. I care about them and hearing people say stuff like that makes me want to stay away from them. I can't even be how we used to be”.

“ Hey ,Macy doesn't matter, okay. Me , Andrew,Rea , Nella and Chris we know you guys and we know the truth never be afraid to Be around them like you were okay”. She said, hugging me.

“ Thanks Mal”.
