Hey guys, so this one I had already written a while back but I was just checking it over. Sorry it took so long so it can be said that the writing style will change in the next chapter. Also, I'll be ending this story fairly soon because I've basically lost the inspiration for this one. I'll be tying up lose ends in the next few chapters and doing a few more things but that'll be it for this. It was written at a different time in my life, and to be honest I'm not especially proud of the story rereading it, but I wanted to finish it out for all of the loyal people who have stuck through this.

The Viewing Part Tres

Ashley's POV

As we all trickle back into the movie theatre, the theatre suddenly becomes stuffy with all the tension. Luce and Arden are glaring at each other, clad in Wiley's guest robes (yes she actually has guest robes, monogramed and all of that shit) as their clothes dry in the dryer. Which bears the question, why is Coop in Wiley's sweats if they could've just dried her clothes along with the rest. Speaking of Coop, what is she doing upstairs that Briley seems to know about? God, all the fucking questions and all the freakin' tension in the room. I'm fucking suffocating. That's it, I'm speaking up.

"Alright, seriously, if I can't even sit here and watch my own episode, at some stupid viewing party that I was dragged to, then we seriously need to talk."

"Ugh, all you ever want to do is talk about things that aren't your damn business." Arden rolls her eyes, obviously not willing to discuss anything going on right now.

"Arden, just listen to your sister for once." Spencer says in a tired manner, her hand covering half of her face as she sat in her chair. "She's trying to sort all this shit out that you seem to be in the middle of all the time."

"Oh right, because I'm the fucking devil, aren't I Spence? Alex is never at fault for our fights." She snaps at my girlfriend.

"Watch it, Arden. You're on thin ice." I practically growl out, no one talks to my Spencer like that, not even my kid sister.

"Dude, bring out the popcorn. This is so much better than the episode." Wiley jokes in a low voice, attempting to lighten the mood. She gets an elbow to the ribs.

"Alyssa, hush." Bridget reprimands and Wiley immediately shuts up and looks at her innocently. God those two are ridiculous.

"You're not the devil, Arden. No one thinks you are." Spencer tries to reason with my bull headed youngest sister. "But we're just trying to understand what is going on."

"What's going on is that Arden Davies is a selfish bitch who never thinks about anyone but herself. Coop doesn't deserve her shit and yet she takes it and forgives her every damn time." Lucy snaps, sending a pointed glare at Arden.

"Fuck you, Reed. Like your perfect! I know all about that incident when you and Kyla were starting out. It's a wonder you didn't kill her with all your rage issues." Arden snarls out and I'm completely lost. Lucy's eyes immediately drop and she looks guilty.

"Wait, what?" I look between Kyla and Lucy.

"Not the time." Kyla pleads, "We're discussing matters happening now not that past, and its pretty shitty of you to bring up something that I trusted you with Arden."

"And Kyla's forgiven her anyways, it was forever ago. Leave it." Carmen adds, Brooke nestled into her side.

"Mind your own business, Reed." Arden spits out at Carmen. "So, what? I was upset that my life is being used for a drama series without my consent or even a heads up. Also, I only found out about the movie gig, yesterday on the phone and they needed an answer right then and there. It's a really good part and it'll be so good for my career."

"Yeah, but what about your relationship? Is it really best to leave her when you guys have been shaky for a while?" Spencer, the voice of reason, says as I nuzzle into the back of her neck, planting a few calming kisses in attempt to soothe her tension.

"Thank you, Mom." Arden narrows her eyes at my girlfriend.

"Okay, that's it! Arden Davies, stop fucking talking to my girlfriend like that. She's only trying to help!" I move out from behind my girlfriend and jump over the back of the chair to stand face to face with my sister.

"Yeah, that's what everyone's trying to do! And I'm fucking sick of it. We can handle it ourselves!" And she actually pokes me. Is she really trying to get the shit knocked out of her twice in one day? She wouldn't last a second with me, she's too winded after her water battle with Lucy.

"Don't test me Arden. You're lucky you're both my sister and my good friend's girlfriend or I'd have decked you already."

"Come at me, sis." She squints her eyes at me in a challenge. A growl rumbles in my throat in response.

"Dude, that's Coop's line. Only with the bro and not the sis." Wiley states and there's a collective rolling of the eyes. "What? My house bitches."

I feel a hand grasp my wrist and turn back to see Spencer giving me a pleading look. I close my eyes and sigh before opening them and facing my sister. "You know, Coop may be too nice to do this. But I've got no problem with it."

Arden looks at me in confusion before my hand meets her face in a resounding smack that quiets the room. I expect some sort of retaliation but Kyla butts in.

"That's it! If my two sisters and fiancée can't even be civil to each other then there is no wedding! We should just fucking elope and go to Vegas and get married by an Elvis impersonator. We'll be so fucking far away from the entire family and-" Kyla looks like she's on the verge of tears

"Kyla, baby. Shh. Hey, hey now…" Lucy jumps to her side, taking her into her arms and I immediately regret my actions. Shit, she doesn't need any more pressure on her with all of this stuff. Once Kyla's sobs reach my ears, I run my hands through my hair. I fucked up. We all did.

I look back at Spencer who still looks a little shocked about the whole thing. Brooke and Carmen are looking at Kyla sympathetically and Arden hasn't moved an inch, her head down, hair covering her face.

"Yeah, I'm not even going to attempt to joke my way out of this one. I know when to stop." Wiley mumbles and Bridget nuzzles into her neck.

A slow clapping resounds throughout the theatre and we see Nikki along with Eric, Ath, and Demetri at the top of the theatre seats, the noise coming from Nikki. We kind of forgot about our guests. "What a first impression you guys have made." Nikki turns back to the guests, apologizing for our behavior, "Sorry guys, it happens when a big group of us gets together. You can see why Al can draw from all this and write a great show, because her life consists of this."

"Shut up, Nikki." Coop's voice sounds from the entrance to the theatre. We turn to see her leaning in the doorway, looking pretty sweaty. What was she doing upstairs? "You were the one that fucked things up last get together, you have no room to speak. Also, I never bring my life directly into my show, sure inspiration comes through it, but I don't. I'm sorry that my script resembled our relationship Arden, but I didn't mean for it to happen." She begins walking towards me, "And Ash, where the fuck do you get off hitting your sister? She's still my girlfriend and I'm kind of pissed off about you doing that. Let me make this clear, I'm not too nice to do that, I'd never do it, because it's not the answer." She pokes me, her eyes ablaze and I know her territorial and protective nature is flaring, "You need to back out of it. I can handle myself and so can Arden. You're supposed to be the sane one and take pressure off of Ky."

"Who are you to tell me what to do, Alex?" I growl out a bit. I'm still riled up and her poking me isn't helping.

"You're right. I don't have any authority over you. Do what you want, upset both of your sisters. Go head." She scoffs before passing me and knelling down infront of Arden who's holding her cheek.

"Coop, were you spying on us from my security room?" Wiley raises a brow. "Or did you hook it up to the gym tv?"

"What do you think." Coop smirks and chuckles before turning back to Arden and whispering things to her, her hand coming up to touch her cheek as a tender moment passes between them.

"Alright, fine. I'll back off, but someone has to tell me what this Lucy and Kyla thing was. Why don't I know and Arden does?" Lucy looks back at me with Kyla's head buried into her chest.

"Because you would've never let me date her." Lucy replies and my brows furrow. What happened that was so bad?
