THE BOY NEXT DOOR

MARRIAGE & ALCOHOLIC

Aimee's POV
We just finished eating and cleaned up. "Okay. I'll be back soon. I'm going to get some clothes for us. Bye baby" Bryan says, kissing my moms cheek and she smiled. I couldn't help but smile.

"Bye girls. Behave!" He says, kissing both Aprils and Crystal's cheeks. With that he left. "If my daddy ever asked you to get married, what would you say?" Crystal asked, out of no where.

My moms reaction was hilarious. "Well Crystal, I think it'll be at least a little longer if we ever get married but if he did ask me I'd say yes of course. I love your father and I'd love to have you girls as my stepdaughters" She says.

"Did you hear that Aimee?! My dad and your mom are getting married!!" She says, excitedly hugging me. "I don't think she said they are. They might but it'll be a little while till that happens" I say.

"So Riker. If you wanna sleep over you can!" My mom says, trying to change the subject. You could tell she felt really awkward. I couldn't help but laugh.

"No. It's okay. I don't wanna ruin the family fun. Aimee and Connor should get to know them" He says. "No Riker!! Spend the night! You're a lot of fun!" April begged.

I smiled nodding over at Riker. "Uh sure then. I'll go get some extra clothes and maybe a bathing suit just in case!" He laughed, walking out.

"So, do you like him?" April whispered.

"No" I laughed. "I like his brother though but knowing what just happened the other day, we'll never be together!" I say, and my mom looked at me with a sad puppy dog face.

"What happened?" She asked. I can't tell her what really happened.

"We got in a fight" I say. I wasn't really lying, was I? Me and Ross did kinda get in a fight.

"You never know Aimee. You're really pretty and nice and I'm sure he likes you to. He'll realize how much he misses you soon!" Crystal says. Omg. I couldn't help but let tears slip.

Let a 4 year old say that to you. You'll realize how much that means to you. "Awwww. Crystal!!" I say, hugging her.

She smiled. "Hey. Wanna go outside?!" I asked, standing back up. They all yelled running outside. "Coming?" I asked, looking at Connor. "No. I'm staying with mom. Have fun" he says. I nod running outside.

I smiled as April and Crystal ran around the lawn. "Come here!" I say, pulling my phone out. "We're going to take a selfie!" I say, going onto instagram.

We get in our positions. It was April on my right side and Crystal on my left. They had a arm wrapped around my shoulder and we did a peace sign with a kissy face. I smiled posting it with the caption, "hanging with these girlies! 😍#SleepOver"

I smiled as Bryan pulled into the driveway. He gets out of his girl and smiled over at me. He walks inside and I just played tag with the girls.

My phone went off signaling that I got a notification from instagram. I got a thousand comments on that pic I just posted. I wasn't going to scroll through all of them right now obviously but one did catch my eye.

It was from Rydel. "Lmao. Why would they let those poor girls hang out with a alcoholic like you! You're a fucking bad influence!"

I tried not to cry but I couldn't help it. I fell down crying. "AIMEE!" Both Crystal and April yelled running towards me. "MOM! SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH AIMEE!" Connor yelled from inside. Him, my mom, and Bryan all ran out to me.

"Baby, what's wrong?" My mom asked, kneeling on one side of me and Bryan on the other side of me. I slowly gave my mom the phone as I was shaking. I looked up to see Riker running towards me with a concerned face.

"What happened?" He asked.

"THATS IT!" My mom yelled, throwing Riker my phone. She marched next door and started banging on the door non stop.

I continued to cry as Bryan held me and Riker was holding my hands. "I can't believe my fucking sister would say that!" Riker mumbled under his breath.

Stormie eventually opened the door and rolled her eyes once she saw my mom. "LISTEN! I'VE HAD ENOUGH! I KNOW YOU'RE UPSET THAT AIMEE WAS DRINKING BUT KEEPING HER FROM ROSS AND THE OTHERS IS RIDICULOUS AND TO TOP THAT OFF, YOU'RE REALLY LETTING RYDEL TALK SHIT ABOUT MY DAUGHTER?!" My mom yelled.

I looked up at one of the windows which was Ross's. He walked up to the window and we made eye contact. He looked upset and angry. He looks like he's been crying.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THERE?!" Stormie yelled, catching Riker. She marched over here and grabbed Riker's arms roughly. "Riker!" I cried.

"YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED OVER HERE!" She yelled, pulling Riker but Riker pulled back. "NO! I'M STAYING WITH AIMEE WEATHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!"

"HELL NO YOU'RE NOT! YOU LIVE UNDER MY ROOF AND YOU FOLLOW MY RULES!" Stormie continued yelling at Riker.

"NOT IF I MOVE OUT! I'm 24. I'll do what I wanna do and I'll move out!" Riker says, walking back towards me. "FUCK YOU ALL!" She yelled.

"CAN YOU WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE?! THERE'S KIDS HERE!" Bryan yelled, standing up.

"And stay away from Aimee! She been through a whole lot. I may have just met her but I love her and I know she's been through a lot! You have no reason to not like Aimee! She's special and keeping her away from the people she loved is kinda ridiculous. She's in love with your fucking son. Don't ask me how I know but I do. Your children are old enough to understand! For gods sake, I'm letting my daughters hang out with her and their only 4 and 12! I understand why Aimee did what she did! I bet you she'd take it back if she can but she can't! The past is the past and you can't fix it! Everybody makes mistakes that they could take back! Just forget about it! Geez. Just get the fuck out!" Bryan says. I couldn't help but smile.

That made me feel really special.

"Fuck you bastard!" Stormie says, walking away. "Daddy, is Aimee okay?" Crystal asked. "Yes she is. Girls can you go inside for a little bit. Riker and Connor can you keep them busy?" Bryan asked. They nod running in.

"Want me to go in too?" My mom asked. Bryan nods and mom walks in. Bryan sat down in front of me. "You okay Aimee?" He asked.

That's when I completely lost it again. "No. I can't believe they would say something like that. I always looked up to Rydel as a sister and Stormie always told me that she'd be there for me no matter what but all of them turned against me. Even Ross. The one boy I actually loved. The one boy I could trust!" I cried.

"Listen Aimee. They're the biggest idiots for Rydel to say something like that to you was fucked up. Especially on social media where anyone could see it. I just want you to know again that I'm always here. I know we just literally just met today but when I see you like this, it breaks my heart. Come to me anytime you need someone! You're a very special beautiful girl and I feel so lucky to have met someone like you. You have April and Crystal. You have Connor. You have Riker. And you have me. Okay Aimee?" He says. I burst out crying and I climbed in his lap hugging him.
