Dedicated to someone who asked my friend out an hour after he asked me out and I told him "no" because he had just broken up with my other friend when she refused to put out. Sadly my friend said yes and dated him for three years before she'd listen to what everyone was warning her about when he tried to force her
So I finally ran out of dedicated to's about you-know-who (and no we're not talking about Voldemort here), so Alyssa's now writing them about someone guys she knew… Bryce is based on them though…

"Hi." Bryce said walking into the apartment that only held his bride, a table, and luggage.
Abby just looked up at him from her seat on the kitchen counter.
Bryce walked over to her and put his hands on her knees as he stared her in the eyes.
"I'm so sorry. For everything. How about we just forget yesterday and this morning ever happened."
"So you want to forget that our wedding ever happened? Gee thanks, glad to know I mean that much to you." Abby replied venomously swatting his hands off of her as she got off the counter. Bryce however had other ideas and put his arms on either side of her on the counter so she couldn't move.
"I didn't mean forget the fact that we are married. I meant how everything got screwed up." He replied seriously, not letting her look away from him.
"So we get married and the morning after I find a woman with hardly any clothes on walking out of your room and you want me to forget that? We didn't even sleep in the same room last night Bryce! How am I supposed to forget that you were drunk at our wedding! You probably don't even remember it!" She yelled back at him. How dare he try and weasel his way out of this!?
"Edward sent her up last night." He replied looking down. "I was too drunk to know better."
"I don't care. It's not just Edward's fault you were drunk. You had to have had something to do with it. Using the excuse of 'I was drunk' will not ever work with me for anything, got that?"
"What? What do you mean that won't work! I was drunk!" He replied furiously.
"Did you accept the drinks when Edward gave them to you?" Abby asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"Yes, it was my bachelor party!"
"Then it's just as much of your fault as it is Edwards." She replied furious that he wasn't understanding what she was saying.
"You probably had a few drinks at your party too!" Bryce said.
"Yes, I did, and do you know what? they were all nonalcoholic! The closest thing i had to alcoholic that night was a virgin strawberry daiquiri that Zeke mixed up for us! And if you're so set on blaming Edward for all this, why the heck did you tell him he could stay here?"
"Oh... that's right... where is he?"
"Not here. I kicked him out, which I should do to you."
"You can't kick him out!"
"Well, apparently I can, since I did."
"Abby, Baby please, listen to me here. If I could redo the past few days I would."
Abby sighed, "Fine, But you're on the couch 'till further notice."

8:00 AM
Abby walked over to the girls' apartment and sat next to Gabriella, "Am I overly forgiving?"
"What do you mean? Gabriella asked, before biting into her toast.
"Well, I forgave Bryce last night... not totally, but I feel like I made another mistake. I've been making a lot of those lately..."
"I honestly don't know what to tell you." Gabriella responded as she handed Abby a piece of toast.
"I'm not letting him sleep in the bedroom with me. That's for sure." Abby replied after she had sighed loudly.
"I'm sorry everything has gone like it has." Gabriella responded hugging Abby tightly. Troy walked in as they were hugging.
"Do you want me to leave?" He asked knowing something was going on.
"No that's okay." Abby responded as they broke apart.
"So what happened to Edward?" Gabriella asked frowning.
"You mean his nose?" Troy asked as he stole a piece of toast off of Gabriella's plate.
"No, Bryce is letting him stay here with us." Abby responded irately. "Apparently his mom kicked him out after she heard what he did to my wedding. Bryce went out and searched for him. He's in the apartment now."
Gabriella started to turn red. Troy put a hand on top of hers and she seemed to relax.
Kubin Apartment
10:05 PM
Abby stood in the kitchen making Mac and cheese on the stove. She couldn't wait until she got all her stuff so she could cook a proper dinner.
There was a knock on the door and Bryce got up from his seat on the floor and answered it. a few seconds later Edward was walking into the apartment.
Abby forcefully put her stir spoon down on the stove, "You're like a boomerang. You're always coming back!"
"Abigail! Edward is my brother and I will not allow him to sleep in that crummy motel." Bryce snapped.
"Well then get him into a hotel. I do not want to see him after what he's done!"
Bryce walked over to her and grabbed her hair, yanking it and throwing her to the side and into the stove, the pot of boiling water toppled over, spilling water and noodles onto her arm, burning her skin, "You don't have the right to be this angry at him, woman! He's staying here, got that? Now clean up this mess!"
Abby whimpered and tears fell down her face.
"Shut up! I don't want to hear you make a sound!"
Abby bit her lip and ran her burnt arm under cold water as she got a rag to clean up the mess on the floor and stovetop.
She waited until he was back out in the living room before muttering to herself. "Yeah I'll clean it up, and if you don't watch it we're going to have a remake of Goodbye Earl."
"When is dinner?" Edward asked coming into the kitchen and looking at the stove.
"Whenever you make it." Abby replied quietly.
"Blah, who wants Mac and cheese? I'm going to make a real meal." Edward replied and kicked her out of the kitchen.
Abby walked towards her bedroom to go through her clothes and find a long sleeved shirt. She wasn't staying here
tonight. She wasn't going to put up with this.
Twenty minutes later she walked out of the bedroom to find Bryce and Edward eating what looked and smelled like a wonderful meal.
"Where's the rest?" She asked as she remembered that Edward liked to cook and was actually good at it.
"In our stomachs." Bryce answered as he continued to eat without looking up with her.
"I'm going out." She said realizing that they weren't going to let her have any.
Abby walked out of the apartment before either of them could say anything and she walked out of the apartment building. She took a walk to dry her tears and stopped by a burger king to fill her empty stomach before returning to the apartments. But rather than walk back into her own apartment she walked to the boys' apartment where she knew everyone was. She knocked and Zeke answered the door with a smile, "Hey Abby. Come on in. we were about to pop in a movie." he stepped aside to let her in, "Sorry but we don't have anymore dinner."
"That's fine, I already ate." Abby said in a quiet voice, "I just felt like spending some time with you guys rather than Bryce and Edward."
"You okay?" Gabriella asked from her spot next to Troy on one of the couches.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied frowning a bit and sitting down next to Gabriella. Gabriella didn't believe her though and kept looking at her throughout the whole movie.
"Do you think I could spend the night with you tonight?" Abby asked quietly after the movie had finished and the girls were starting to get up to go back to their own apartment.
"Yeah of course." Gabriella responded and put her arm around Abby's shoulders. Abby flinched as Gabriella touched her burn.
"You okay?" Gabriella asked again, getting more and more concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine."
"Gabi's right, You look kind of down." Ryan said.
"I'm fine, Just having Edward Mills around is annoying." Abby half lied.
"I'll get out the baseball bat if you want." Gabriella added in and Sharpay nodded her head furiously in agreement.
Abby smiled, thinking that it was a good idea, but shook her head instead. "No that's okay. I'll just go to bed now."
