It was time to get drunk and regret nothing.

After somewhat angrily ignoring Rich on your way to the green room, you’d stuck yourself between your con wives, Briana and Kim.

You were on your fourth glass of wine when the girls noticed your forced happy attitude.

“C’mon Y/n, what’s wrong?” Briana persisted, pushing a beer bottle toward you. She was always the best of influences.

You sigh inwardly. “Well-“

“Y/n, when were you gonna tell us?” Kim exclaimed, sitting down next to you.

You groaned, placing your head into the palms of your hands.

“What is it now?”

Kim shoves her phone into your hands. The screen shows her Twitter mentions, which are quite full of pictures of you and Rich.

“That’s normal…” You trail off, biting your bottom lip. A few would have been normal, but that excessive of an amount meant trouble.

Kim shakes her head.

“All the captions are saying you two are dating. Some girl said you guys let it slip during photo ops.”

Tonight was just not your night.

You were obligated to explain the entire fan encounter and what Rich did.

Both women were your rocks during conventions, so you needed their input. Of course their responses were filled with excitement.

“He wants you two to go public! What’s wrong with that?” Briana squeals and you have to hush her. Rich was just a few tables over; he didn’t need to know you were talking about him.

“The correct answer is there’s nothing wrong with it. You’ve crushed on him for too long to give this up. What’s the deal?” Kim responds slyly, knowing she’s caught you in a loop.

You hold back the urge to argue even though you had no objection to her claims. In all honesty, you had no clue what your sudden anger was about.

“Shoo. Go talk to him. None of this will work without some communication on both sides,” Kim says as both women nudge you toward the table Rich is seated at.

You bit your lip and sigh, a sign that you’ve given in to their relentlessness.

You have to remind yourself that it’s just Rich, the man you once could so easily joke around with.

Kim and Briana sit in their eager state, not too suspicious-looking to the unaware eye, but still enough for them to snoop. Always looking out for you, those two were.

Despite the distinct thumping heartbeat in your chest and the thought of turning back, your feet carried you to the table.

On one side sat Billy, Stephen and Rob, while on the other, Mike and Rich. Thankfully, Rich was on the end. You convinced yourself that he knew you’d want to talk and sat himself there on purpose.

As your figure approached, each one of the men glanced up with a smile, except Rich. His thin, narrowed lips and the way his gaze deliberately avoided yours was a clue to what mood your outburst had put him in.

“Mind if I have a seat?” You ask. It was a simple enough request that even in Rich’s state, he couldn’t say no to.

Rob nods, but you can tell he knows what had went down after he left you two alone. You quickly take the seat next to Rich and easily join the conversation.

Rich keeps to himself more after you jumped in. He had a right to be pissed.

Rob started up a new topic of chords and new songs, to which you and Rich both couldn’t contribute much to. It was the perfect time to act.

So as not to alert the others of yours and his squabble, you typed a short message on your phone and sent it to Rich.

Can we talk?

The message clearly pops up onto his phone and for the first time since arriving in the green room, he looks at you. His head bobs up and down as he scans your face for a sign to what you’re feeling. Upon finding no aggression or anger, he stands up and walks to a corner of the room with you in tow.

As soon as he turns around, you see the lights ahead reflecting off the hazel color in his eyes, knowing you’re done for.
