"I should..get her stuff.." Arthur said, before crawling out of Francis's grasp and dashing upstairs, shutting himself in his room. He looked at Riley's little scribbles of music, and her guitar. He sighed, feeling tears well up behind his eyes, why did he always make the wrong choice?! Francis knocked on the door.
"Arthur? Do you need any help in zer?" He asked sweetly, and Arthur replied, "Nope! Im alright!". He grabbed Riley's base, slung it over his shoulder, and opened the window out of his room. "I'm gonna make this right." He muttered to himself, before climbing onto the room and going down the fire excape. He landed firmly on the street, before he began walking down the road, asking people if they'd seen Riley.

I gulped a few more down, the bar-tender asked a couple more questions but then realized I didn't want to be spoken too. I frowned at my drink, looking at he golden drink grasped in my fist and deepening my frown.
"I'll have a root beer, eh?" I heard someone say next to me. I looked up at him and he gave me a smile.
"You don't sound like you're around here..." I mummbled into my drink.
"Oh, yeah, I'm not, eh. I'm from Canada..." He whispered. I nodded "You don't sound like you're from around here either" He mused. I nodded again.
"M' from America." I stated, gulping down my drink and cursing as the fire settled into my stomach. The Canadian stuck out his hand for me to shake, and I did.
"I'm Matthew" He muttered.
"Riley" I answered, gripping a new drink and swallowing it down.

Finally, Arthur found a woman who said she'd seen Riley go into the pub, two blocks down. He sighed in relief, knowing where she was. He jogged down the street into the pub, looking around for Riley. He saw her, but then saw a blonde sitting next to her, looking somewhat like Francis but more wheat hair, like Alfreds. Was that Alfred? God, it looks like him..What is she doing with Alfred? Arthur thought confusedly.

I scowled at my drink a bit more and frowned.
"You look sad" Matthew state and I nodded.
"Yeah, it's been pretty much the worst day of my life..." I muttered, gulping down my drink.

Arthur smirked, realizing he was holding a base, and went up to the bartender furthest away from Riley and asked him if today was a good kareoke day. The bar tender nodded, and Arthur grabbed a different guitar and walked up on the stage, and sat down infront of the mic, and slowly began singing.

"Without you
there's no reason for my story
and when I'm with you
I can always act the same
forever, yeah if we're together
We can make it better

You and I
we never get to sleep
we're up all day
we're over worked and underpaid
you and I
were always stuck in repeat
day by day
watching time drift away
as we burn away

Without you
there's no reason for my story
and when I'm with you
I can always act the same
forever, yeah if we're together
We can make it better

You and I
we've never felt so right
(this just might be just what I need,
to get me through the night)
You and I
we're the perfect fit
you've got me hooked
so then i could never quit
I just burn away

Without you
there's no reason for my story

oh oh oh-oh oh oh-oh
oh oh oh-oh oh oh-oh!"

I frowned when I saw that he had Lydia, I didn't care that he was singing to me or not. Lydia was my guitar, what, was he gonn a break her too? I growled and walked up to Arthur. I grabbed Lydia away from him and frowned at him.
"Dont touch my bass" I snarled. I looked at him "Wheres frnchy?" I grolwed, before turning and walking away.

Sorry I'm on my iPod

(thats fine)

Arthur stopped singing, and jumped off the stage, then flipping his wheat hair out of his eyes.
"Gone. Riley, i swear i was under pressure! You know i love you! Francis is just seductive! I dont love him i love you.." He answered honestly, before glaring at i-think-he's-alfred-but-im-not-sure (matthew).
"And I was bringing Lydia to you. Figured you'd want her."

I snorted "Whatever Arthur, you hurt me, an I'm not sure I'm ready to forgive you. Like I said 'Don't expect me o come back' Alright? I'm taking a break from you" I growled. Talking another step back adb walking out of the bat.

"Riley! What about last night? Didn't that..mean anything..to you?" Arthur stuttered, looking hurt. He heard the door ding open, but he didn't bother to see who it was, because when he turned to glare at 'maybe alfred' Francis was sitting there flirting with him.

I turned when he said that and looked at him, tears in my eyes "Yeah, every moment with you ment something to me... To bad you made that wrong choice and got rid of me" I looked at him, then gripped my bass a little tighter "Goodbye Arthur"

"Riley...You know im stupid, you know i do stupid things, but you know i. love. you." Arthur said, grabbing her arm. "Please," He pleaded, green eyes shining with tears.

I frowned "Give me some time to think" I muttered, ripping my arm from his grasp and exiting the building.

Arthur squeaked quietly when she ripped her hand from his grasp, and turned to see Alfred and Ian, talking to Francis and 'wanna-be-Alfred'.
"Al..fred?" Arthur asked, slowly walking over. Alfred and Ian turned in unision, both smiling, except Alfred ran over to Arthur and grabbed his hand and pulled him over.
"Hey Iggy! This is my little bro! Matty! I mean..Matt-heew." Alfred explained excitedly. Ian only listened.

I felt bad as soon as I got out of that pub. My head was swimming and my stomach ached. I sighed with frustration and stumbled down the road. Where was I going? Even if I knew I wouldn't tell. I stumbled a bit more before tripping completely and moaning. A shadow blocked the sun from my veiw and I looked up, Lydia clutched firmly in my hand. Standing over me was a police officer. He grinned down at me then looked me over.
"You don't have any achohal in you're possesion, at the moment. right?" He sneered. I scrambled for my feet and stiffened.
"What do you think?" I growled, he grinned wickedly and started patting me down. "S'not like I was driving or anything" I growled and he nodded.
"Very well, though watch out, I'll be keeping an eye on you" He mused and I scoffed.
"Whatever officer Britian" I growled, pushing past him and walking along. I kept waking and walking, until I made it out of the city. But then I just stood, unsure of where to go.

Ooc: I bakkk :'D

Arthur nodded towards Matthew, then remembered Riley was drunk.
"OH SH**! Alfred, Ian, get in the car! Riley's going no where down the road..oh god she's drunk too COME ON!" He said, grabbing both their hands and flying out the door.
"I'LL DRIVE!" Alfred said, hopping into the passenger seat, then remembering they were in England. "oh.." He said, dissappointedly. Arthur chuckled and hopped in the driver's seat of Ian's car and shoved the keys into the ignition, making the car roar to life as he began driving down the road looking for Riley.
