The Investigation of the Murder of Moose
Ashley's POV
I move to follow Coop but Ath stops me. "I'll get her, it's your house and your sister, you figure out what the hell happened." She walks up the stairs in search of Alex and I turn to the two of them.
I grit my teeth a bit, "Can you two, please come with me outside and tell me what the fuck is going on?" I glare at Brooke and Arden and they hang their heads a bit like scolded puppies and walk outside. I turn to Spence, "I'm gonna handle this, hun. You can go check on Alex; I don't want you near the broken pieces of guitar. I'll get the others to scoop it up." She nods without putting up an argument about me being over protective and kisses my cheek, before heading up the stairs. The others take the hint and start picking up the pieces. "You guys might wanna save those…Coop's sentimental about things." They all nod and continue whispering to each other.
I walk outside and sit myself in a lawn chair with one of them on either side. They're glaring at each other. "Alright, what the hell is going on and why couldn't it have waited until tomorrow?" I'm pissed. This is Spence and my night for just US, to celebrate US, we never get time to ourselves between work and all this drama.
Brooke narrows her eyes at Arden, "It's not my fault, Arden didn't know what she had until years later." Great…it's a Coop fight.
"Yeah, well you'll always be the same whore, no matter what the reputation you get for dating the hero."
"You are so-"
"ALRIGHT! That's enough you two. Let's start from the beginning."
"Weellll here's how it went."
Flashback to a few minutes ago
No one's POV
Alex and Brooke are laughing and grinning.
"So Al, you gonna play that song for me? You know you don't have to."
Alex just grins and shrugs, "I'm thinkin' about it." Arden walks around the corner. "'Falling for you' is pretty fitting for this occasion, but I mean I wouldn't want to steal attention away from those two with a song about my gorgeous girlfriend." Arden's face falls when she hears this. She was hoping to start anew with the guitarist, but it seems she's starting to fall for another.
Alex excuses herself for a bit to walk into the livingroom. Arden walks over to Brooke. "Soo, I couldn't help but hear. Song about you huh?"
Brooke smiles dreamily, "Yeah, she's great isn't she?"
Arden nods, "Yeah, I would know."
Brooke tilts her head, "No offense, but would you? I mean you walked away from her."
Arden grits her teeth, "Yeah well, we all make mistakes. That was my biggest one. I plan to fix it."
Brooke chuckles, "Wait, so you little Davies, think that you can just waltz in here and take her from me like that just because you and your play toy had a spat and broke up? Because I mean, Kris was just your play toy wasn't she? You used her and then you dumped her. She may not feel horrible…but you did put her through quite a lot of effort to save that relationship that you knew would fail."
"You know what Leighton, shut up."
"Ohh, I've angered Baby Davies. Poor little temper on you huh? What would Coop think?" Brooke smirks and Arden shoves her.
"You don't know the first thing about me."
"Right, I don't. Because the person I thought I knew, wouldn't have hurt someone like you did."
"Shut up alright? I know I fucked up majorly." Their shouts are getting louder. "But I still love her."
Brooke scoffs, "Whatever, you're not even worth my time." Brooke bumps her shoulder and Arden grabs her wrist.
"I beg to differ Brooke. You say that you always loved Alex? What about when you were fucking Sam? Or when you had your fling with Nikki? You're as much guilty as I am."
"Ha, difference. I never had her and I now that I do, there's no way I'm letting go. Sorry, Ardypoo. Not let go of me." She jerks her arm out which accidently hits Arden in the chin. Brooke giggles, "Well, I wasn't going for that, but its still entertaining." Alex rounds the corner after hearing their yells first and realizing she's being fought over at her best friend's celebration. Arden clenches her jaw and jerks her back, Brooke hitting the wall where Moose is positioned. Moose falls to the floor near Arden's feet. Brooke shoves her back and she loses her balance, stomping on the guitar before falling over. Effectively breaking Moose into pieces. Alex's eyes go wide.
"What the hell is going on?" They both look at her and freeze before glaring at each other. Alex helps Arden up and stands between them. Everyone else rushes in.
End of Flashback
Ashley's POV
I just sigh and sit there. "Really guys? At my house? At my three year wedding anniversary? On the day that we give the best news in the world?" I shake my head and scoff, "I've never been so disappointed in the both of you. And what's worse is that you are dragging Coop through crazy ass journeys that she doesn't need to be in." I look at Arden. "You can't just decide all of a sudden to fight for her now and dump Kris. At least be her friend. You've been shitty to her these past months." I look at Brooke, "And you, crazy girlfriend, she's falling for you. I know that much, don't hurt her like this." I turn to both of them. "Now, both of you, when Coop is ready to see you both, will apologize and offer condolences to Moose…because she loves that damn guitar like her life, and you two will be civil or not speak to each other. You two will not influence Coop on seeing either of you. It's her decision. Are we clear?" They nod.
Arden smiles a bit, "Ya know sis, you'll make a pretty good mother."
"Don't think that by paying me that compliment that I'm letting you off the hook, you're lucky I don't disown you and make you the aunt that never sees the kid."
She sighs, "I knooow. You sure you're not the one preggo, I mean your hormones are a little wooo." She makes weird gestures and even Brooke cracks a smile.
"Ugh, whatever. Just get your ass inside. I'm done dealing with you wee one." She rolls her eyes and pushes me playfully. Oh boy, let's see what's going on inside…
