Hush, be careful of what you say

Arin POV

Last night was insane! After an incredible concert with the band, we had a splendid time at ‘Rock Ambition’. Apparently, the rest of the guys used to go to that club before, whereas it was the first time for me. We got so drunk at the bar, I don’t even remember how I got home. But one way or another I did.
And now I have a fucking horrible hangover. I feel like there is someone banging a hammer on my head, and the lightning of the sun is too bright for my eyes.
I get up and cook English breakfast for me, it always helps me feel better when I am hungover.

Once I’m done I grab my phone and decide to phone Niall.
“Hey handsome”, she answers immediately.
“Hey yourself. Are you busy?” I ask her, since I know that in England it’s not morning, or rather early afternoon like here in America.
“Nope. I’m in my room, trying to get some work done I guess. But obviously I prefer talking to you”
“That’s my girl”. Shit, I shouldn’t have said that, knowing that she isn’t officially my girl. Thankfully, she finds the humour in the remark and bursts out laughing.
“Listen, I wanted to tell you how the gig went! That’s the reason why I called you” I tell her, all excited as I begin to replay the memories of last night.
“Oh shoot I totally forgot! How did it go? I’m sure you did great Arin!!” she tells me in a convinced tone.
“I killed it. The fans were amazing and totally supportive, knowing the situation of the hacker and all!”
“Oh yeah I heard about that. Did you catch who is the mastermind behind that shit?” she asks me.
“Up till now we have no clues. But I’m not going to give in, even though the person threatened me. I’m going to ignore it and play the best gigs possible, while making the person fucking jealous!” I say as I drink some water.
“Oh fuck yeah, he or she is plain jealous. That is the reason! And yeah, promise me you won’t give in to that, and to not forget me when you get super famous like the rest of the guys in the band” she chuckles.
“Never. How the hell can I forget you beautiful?” sincerely I say.
“You better! Listen, I gotta go and finish some stuff! I’m so glad I got to talk to you, and mister, I’m super proud of you, you know that no?!”
“Thanks babe. Means the world when you support me” I admit.
And after that I hang up.

I decide to rest for a bit since I’m still feeling like shit, when my phone goes off again. Now what?! I look at the caller ID and narrow my eyes.
“Morning Brian”
“Good you’re up. Are you at home?”
I glance at my watch, it’s 2 in the afternoon. “Yeah, where the hell should I be?”
“I’m coming over in a couple of minutes. Be decent, wear something nice” he says in one breath, as he hangs up.

I don’t get Brian. I seriously don’t. One day he is fighting with me cos he doesn’t want me in the band, the next he is coming to my home. Since I’m too hungover to think about this, I decide to oblige and get dressed.
And he wasn’t kidding. 5 minutes have passed and the doorbell goes off. I go to open the door as I put the beanie in my head.
“You weren’t joking Brian huh?!” I ask him.
“Nope I wasn’t. I was being serious. Okay you’re ready?” he asks me.
I look at him with a questioned look. “Where are we going?”
“I thought we should go out and get to know each other better, after all the bullshit that went down between the two of us” he explains to me.
“Listen. I have a hangover and….” He interrupts me.
“Save it for the car. You’re coming, end of story!” he says as he grabs my arm and pulls me after him into the car.

God save me.


Brian POV

Thank the Lord that Arin didn’t ask me a lot of questions for this hangout I had planned for the both of us. Cos I wasn’t in the mood, and I wanted to get on location as soon as possible.

I hop in my car and start driving.
“Where are we going?” he asks me again.
“To a bar. Where the hell would we get to hang out, in a restaurant?” I scoff.
“Ughhh I’m not going to drink any more alcohol!” he says as he pulls his beanie down over his eyes.
“You’re that hungover huh? What a baby! Anyways, you do whatever the hell you want, but I won’t mind a bottle of beer” I say as I park the car quite close to the bar. “We have arrived. God, make yourself presentable Arin, will ya? We’re in public” I tell him, as I notice he looks a bit pale, most probably because of the hangover.
“Now you’re noticing! Fucking hell” he grumbles as he gets out of the car.
I get out and catch him staring at me.

“You are a fucking liar!” he slowly tells me.
“What are you talking about? You truly look like shit I wasn’t lying!” I admit.
“Cut the crap Brian. ‘Rock Ambition’? Seriously?! You’re here because you haven’t given up yet on that chick who was cleaning the counter yesterday, not because you want to hang out with me” he says, sounding a bit pissed off, or hurt.
Shit! He ain’t dumb. If he had been Johnny, he wouldn’t have noticed.
“Fine, you got that part right. I wanted to come here so that I get to know that girl. But I didn’t ask someone else, I asked you to come along. Because I really want to try and get to know you better”
He doesn’t seem to be moved by my speech.
“You know what, if you don’t want to come along, just go or wait for me here in the car. But I’m going inside, with or without you. Your choice” I finally tell him, as I start to walk towards the bar.
“You owe me one Gates, big time!” he says behind me, as he decides to come and join me.
“Good call kid. Now while I flirt with the girl, you find yourself another pretty one. I’m sure there is someone!” I chuckle.
“You go do your thing, but don’t tell me what to do!” he responds.
“Jeez, fine! But thanks anyway” I tell him as we enter the club.

Now, where is the red-head beauty?
