Arthur stood abruptly, throwing his tea cup at the wall, causing it to shatter.
"DA**IT! Riley come BACK!" He barked, running after her. Like on que, the rain began to poor whne Arthur grabbed Rile's arm, bringing her to a quick stop. He simply stared at her, with sad, lost eyes, brilliantly green. He sighed and tugged her back to the house.
Alfred sat in his room, with a guitar in his lap, singing every sad song he could think of. This wasn't fair! He'd been here for Arthur longer, He deserved that da** Brit! Alfred thought sadly.

"LET ME GO!" I screamed as he pulled me back into the house. I didn't want to see him, I didn't want ot see anyone. I loved Alfred as a brother and now he probably hated me. I was full out sobbing at this piont, how could I have been so stupid?! I faught Arthur the entire way back but finally I was inside and sat down on the couch like a child sent to time out. I crossed my arms over my chest, my hair dripping wet, along with the rest of me. I shuttered and looked at Arthur then at the floor. I didn't deserve Arthur, I was a crummy b*tch who dropped out of college because of a stupid song. While Alfred was the sweetest guy anyone could ask for. What had I done?! I placed my face in my hands and began to sob even more. My throat was raw from crying, and it ached, but I couldn't stop. I started having a pinick attack, I couldn't breathe. Oh God, I can't breathe! I thought, trying to collect myself. But I couldn't. I gagged and sobbed until I felt light headed. I couldn't calm myself, I couldn't breathe.

Arthur lifted his face from his hands to see Riley's gasping. His eyes widened, and he jumped up, mind racing over medical facts.
"Ri-Riley?! Riley! Breathe god da**it! BREATH!" He pleaded, looking around for his phone. Alfred had come downstairs in a moping mood, then saw Riley's struggling. The american rushed over, and somehow, in one quick flash, had made Riley stop, before he stood again.
"A-Alfred how did y-" Arthur began, setting his phone down.
"I took a medical class stupid." Alfred growled, though his eyes didn't read anger, just heartbreak. Arthur looked almost ready to cry again, and he looked at his feet.
"sorry.." He muttered, walking over to get a glass of water for Riley.

Alfred had saved me, I secretly wished he hadn't. Now how was I supposed to pay him back? I'd already broken his heart and in return he saved me? That made me feel like she biggest a** in the world. I brought my knees to my chest, shaking hard. I'd never had those panick attacks before in my life, it scared me. I took the water gratefully and sipped in slowly, tears still thick in my eyes. I couldn't look at Alfred anymore, I just couldn't. I felt my chest rise and fall quickly again but I forced myself to get it under control. My head was still throbbing from my massive head ache, and all of this crying was making me dehydrated. "I'm sorry Alfred..." I began "I was drunk, I wasn't thinking, you know if I was sober I wouldn't...You know that...It was stupid, I'm sorry, I'm a filthy, disgusting, ignorant wh*** and I broke your heart. You saved my life in return...Y-you're one of the greatest people I know, and I-I'm a b*tch for hurting you. I promise on my life it'll never happen again...It was a mistake...Oh God...It was a huge, huge mistake" I set the glass down and began to sob again, into my hands.

Alfred smiled down at Riley, and sat next to her on the couch.
"No you're not, i forgive you." He said, hugging her close to his chest. Alfred simply glared at Arthur, who went to go clean up the shattered tea cup. "Youre wonderful, and special, and perfect and you were drunk, and dont think well while your drunk. Dont cry, it's fine.." Arthur listened intently, though he knew Alfred only forgave Riley, not himself. With a sigh The brit threw away the tea cup and leaned against the counter.
"Arthur on the other hand..." Alfred began, then stopped himself, with a heaving sigh. "Its fine Rilz, dude stop crying."

I felt Alfred crushing me with a hug and my sobbing stopped a little, then he began to speak. I never had a big brother, therefore I wouldn't know what it is like to have one, but when Alfred spoke it was the closest thing to a big brother that I could get. I latched onto him, trying to stop my sobbing, he forgave me. I was overjoyed now, but still crying silently. It took a while for me to stop, but I finally did. My eyes were red and I sniffled a little and jerked back sobs every few minuets, but I had ceased crying. I looked at the lost Brit standing in the kitchen, looking more lost then ever "Alfred...You can't just forgive me, you have to forgive Arthur also. If you don't forgive him then you can't forgive me, it wasn't just his fault, I could've said no. It's just as much my fault as it is his." I said, my voice collected and rather strong.

Alfred looked down at his feet, adjusting his glasses.
"I can't." He said simply, looking up to truly glare at Arthur, whose expression looked shattered. "He should've stopped himself, like he did with scott." Alfred muttered the ending, and Arthur dropped the tea pot completely. The brit stared at Alfred with a shocked expression on his face, knees quivering.
"H-how did you know about that!?" Arthur asked quietly, and Alfred frowned. "Scott told me."

~oops, double post Cx sorry~

My head was spinninh by now, Scott and Arthur? What? I shook my head, and then realized that I hadn't let go of Alfred. I cleared my throat, embarrased, and detached myself from Alfred's neck. Everything was so hopless now, why had I done that? Why was I such an idiot? I sighed and ran a hand through my hair "I don't have a come back to that one, I'm sorry, I'm only one person and I'm so confused. I-I'm gonna go take a show to clear my head, be right back..." I said looking and my hands and vanishing upstairs. Once upstairs I went to my shower and stripped off my clothes. I turned on the water and stepped in, not caring if it was too hot or not.

After Riley dissappeared, Arthur bent down to clean up his tea pot. Alfred stood and walked over to Arthur, and looked at him.
"You...I..God Arthur, why didn't you stop yourself?" Alfred demanded, and Arthur stood up wuickly, glaring daggers at the american.
"You had NO right to mention that to Riley Alfred. None. I know you're mad, but really that was childish, mentioning that. Besides, why do you care?" Arthur growled, frowning sadly. The american looked down at Arthur, then suddenly kissed him. Arthur's body froze, trying to process the moment.
"Mm- Alfred, stop im trying to be mad at you." The britishman growled, pulling away from Alfred's kiss.
"I loved you. I thought that Riley wasn't going to be any...sory of competition, but clearly..she is." Alfred growled, adding a small huff at the end.

I stood in the steaming water and looked at my feet. I could see my ribs easily, my hip bones stuck out a lot also. I shivered to think that Arthur had seen me naked, but I saw him naked so I guess if didn't matter. I tried to keep myself from thinking to much, I simply just let the steamy water engulf me. I thought for a few more minuets, not doing anything but standing and humming a simple melody in my head. I took a really long shower, I took my time because I didn't want to go down stairs and face the music.

Arthur felt a small blush creep over his cheeks, and he looked away to hide it.
"Well. Its not like im going to marry her, you wank." He spat and Alfred pretended to looked hurt. Arthur threw away the remains of his smashed teapot, and sighed, putting his hands on his hips and looking up at Alfred.

I sighed at last and turned off the steamy water. A sudden chill crawled up my spine and I managed through a shiver. And here I was, just standing and scowling at the tile infront of me. I ruiened everything, and I wouldn't be surprised if both of them just kicked me out. I sighed agian and pulled my clothes on and went to my room. My suite case was layed on the floor where I left it and I began to gather the few things scattered around the room and pack it in, just in case. I frowned then went down stairs. I walked in at "Well it's not like i'm going to marry her, you wank" It was Arthur. To be honost I never wanted to get married, but did that mean that he felt absolutely nothing for me? Probably. And that hurt like a kick to the gut. Thw wind rushed out of my stomach and I walked directly to the couch, trying to pretend like I hadn't heard that.

Alfred smirked, rolling his eyes. They were in a different room, so they didn't notice Riley had come out.
"So you feel absoloutely nothing for her...and something for me?" Alfred pushed, and Arthur scoffed.
"Hah, only in your big fat american dreams. I love her; but i love you too. You ask me to choose? I can't." He said with a huff.

I listened to their argueing then heard Arthur say that he loves me. My eyes widened, it was nive hearing that, like a sort of relief, hearing those words from him. I faltered, what would Alfred do? I couldn't take it anymore, this was all my fault. I burst into the kitchen like a tornado and ran a hand through my wet hair "I'm leaving. I can't stay here. I cause to much...conflict. Bye Arthur, bye Alfred." I said quickly then I turned and ran upstairs to retrieve my suitcase.
