The girl across the hall

The pain of a wedding that's not yours


Arielle and Andy take their seats on the white folding chairs set up in the soft white sand. The sunset in the background of the arch where Scott is about to be wed is almost too picture perfect. Andy kisses her cheek when Alissa takes a seat next to the writer, giving Andy a dirty look.
"You are staying at my house tonight." She hisses, "and he is staying in his room."
Arielle simply shakes her head, twisting the turquoise ring that Andy bought her on her finger. She loves him more than anything and a nasty mother is surely not going to get in the way of that. The tattoo on her wrist had been covered by a bracelet as Arielle is hoping that she can avoid as much conflict with her mom as possible. The wedding march music begins to play and Scott finds his place at the end of the aisle, a wide smile on his lips as the groomsmen and bridesmaids proceed to make their way down the space between the two groups of chairs. The long pink dresses are getting full of sand and their heels are sinking into the ground. Finally, the flower girl tosses a few flower petals on the sand then joins the bridesmaids at the end of the aisle. A tear pricks in Scott's eye as Jessica makes her way down to her soon to be husband. Arielle takes in her A-line dress that seems to hit her all the right ways. Alissa dabs tears from her eyes as the coulple stands in front of the priest.

"When we get married, it will not be on the beach." Andy whispers in Arielle's ear, squeezing her hand. She raises an eyebrow- he said when, not if...

"You may kiss the bride."

They share a simple peck, such a bore. Arielle rolls her eyes as the newly weds rush back to the ball room where the party will be taking place. Alissa tells them about Scott's plans for later that night, much to the couples distaste. Arielle and Andy escape from the annoying mother of the groom and find the bar, Andy getting a beer and Arielle a martini. They hang around the outskirts, talking about little things like all couples do. Andy finds a waitress who has a tray of shrimp and stuffs the shellfish in Arielle's mouth before she can stop him. She bursts into laughter, almost choking on the shrimp in the process. Arielle in thumb finds another waiter and takes a hors d'oeuvre, finding the perfect moment when Andy is fluffing his hair to stick it in his mouth.
"H-mm-ey!" Andy a exclaims through chewing. Arielle falls into a giggle fit as the singer takes two shrimp and holds it up to his face as a mustache. Other guests are giving the couple weird looks as they shuffle past them to find their tables. Fortunately, Arielle and Andy are not seated with her family meaning they can enjoy the night in peace. Jessica and Scott have their first dance to love love love by of monsters and men when halfway through the song other couples start joining in on the dancefloor. Andy leads Arielle to the wooden dance floor, his arms falling to her waist. Arielle leans on Andy's shoulder, her arms behind his neck as they sway to the slow song. A kiss is placed on her forehead in the middle of the song.
"I love you Arielle."
"I love you too Andy."

The song ends and Scott takes a microphone from the DJ, a glass of champagne in his hand. Arielle and Andy find their seats at the edge of the dance floor along with the rest of the guests.
"I would just like to make a toast to everyone for coming and to my lovely wife, Jessica." Scott smiles, sipping his champagne before handing the microphone to Alissa. Arielle leans her head on Andy's shoulder and sighs. She knows what's coming.
"Good evening everyone. I would like to make a toast to my son, Scott, and my darling daughter-in-law Jessica. They've worked really hard on this wedding and it seems as if everything is falling into place. Now if only my younger daughter, Arielle, would marry a successful doctor like Scott, my life would be complete. Gentlemen, she is available." She winks, receiving laughs from most of the room. Arielle groans and says, "mom! Andy and I are together!"
"Anyways, to many long years of this new union and hopefully another one right around the corner."

Arielle downs her champagne quickly, annoyed with her mother and needing the buzz. Andy chuckles and rubs her back, "slow down there Ari, your mom would not like to see the drunk you... Very hungry for sex."
She giggles and pulls Andy towards the dance floor where people have begun to gather. She closes her eyes, swaying her hips to the beat of the music and Andy is mesmerized. He attempts to dance but ends up just wiggling his hips and jumping around since this is not his type of music. Arielle shrieks as a random guy comes up behind her and latches his hands onto her hips, grinding on her. "We're not in fucking high school, get off me!"
Andy grabs the guy's hands and pulls them off of her hips, "seriously man, she wants you to stop."
"Fuck off, we're just dancing." The man grumbles, trying to dance on Arielle again only she has scrambled into Andy's arms. She hugs Andy close while still swaying to the music when the man has finally left. The song changes to a slower one and the couple dances together again, whispering sweet nothings into each other's ears.

The time comes when Jessica is to throw the bouquet, so jokingly Arielle walks out with the single women as the bouquet of red roses gets tossed. A few women dive for the flowers but Arielle simply stands there with her hands raised, laughing at the trivial custom. Andy laughs in the corner of the dance floor until he realizes that the blood red bouquet landed directly in Arielle's hands. She gasps through giggles, running over to Andy with tears in her eyes from laughing so hard. She cries out, "Your turn babe!"
Andy follows the single men onto the wooden dance floor, chuckling at Arielle who is sniffing the flowers with a smile. The garter gets thrown and Andy jumps, miraculously it lands in his grasp. Arielle squeals and runs over to Andy, kissing him hard on the lips. It takes a moment for him to react being that she jumped into him so eagerly. The whole room is watching them. When Arielle pulls away she whispers into Andy's ear, "I don't believe in these things but it's still really great."
He nods, brushing his thumbs over her cheekbones. Someone pulls out a chair for Arielle to sit on so that Andy could put the garter on her leg. He winks at her as she sits down, holding her soft leg out that he has been dying to touch all night. He makes quick work of taking the shoe off of her left foot, sliding the lacy loop along her leg, pushing it up as far as he can get it even though some people turn away in disgust. His thumb caresses Arielle's thigh for a moment before they stand up and act like nothing happened. The party gets going again and the couple finds their way to their seats.

"What would you do if I proposed right now?" Andy jokes after they've had a glass of wine each. Arielle giggles, throwing her arms around Andy's neck. "I don't know... Do it first?"
"What do you mean?" Andy asks, raising an eyebrow. Arielle giggles and whispers in his ear, sending a shiver down his spine. "I wear the pants in this relationship."
"But babe, I wear the pants more often." Andy chuckles, nuzzling his head in the crook of her neck. He inhales the fruity scent of her hair, his heart fluttering as she giggles. He loves her.

Arielle looks deep into his blue eyes and whispers, "you may wear pants more often but I am the dominant figure in this relationship."
"Uh, honey, sorry to burst your bubble but maybe I will propose right now so that you won't have the chance in the future." Andy chuckles and brushes his lips against hers, standing hand in hand. "What do you say we get out of here. I mean, once the bride and groom leave the party is basically dead."
Arielle scans the deconstructing room, she's surprised they haven't been asked to leave yet being that it is close to two in the morning. Her mother and father retired back to their house a few hours before after Scott and Jessica decided to leave. After that it was the last few party goers who were drinking as much free alcohol as possible. They are the last two left besides the wedding planner who is packing up the decorations. As they exit the ballroom a gust of wind hits them, being that they have to walk across a path back to their hotel. Arielle shivers and Andy wraps his arm around her bare shoulders. Neither of them thought Florida could be this cold at night. Andy stops walking and removes his jacket, placing it over the writer's shoulders as they continue their silent walk back to their room. Once up in the room they quickly take a picture with Arielle holding the bouquet and Andy with the garter in his teeth. He posts it to Instagram:

@andybvb: @ariellejennaD we caught them! I guess we're getting married next?

Arielle quickly replies to Andy's tweet of what he posted:

@ArielleJennaD: @andybvb I have to propose first ;)

@andybvb: @ariellejennaD no! I thought we already settled this, it's every other time <3

Arielle quickly hangs her dress back up while Andy is taking off his makeup. Her phone buzzes on the nightstand, flashing with a few alerts from twitter.

@bandgirl75: @ArielleJennaD are you and @andybvb engaged?

@ArielleJennaD: @bandgirl75 no my brothers wedding was tonight and we caught the stuff-
@ariellejennaD: -and we were joking about who gets to propose.

@indiegirl13: @ArielleJennaD what did @andybvb mean: I thought we settled this it's every other time.

@ariellejennaD: @indiegirl13 he asked me out on a date, I asked him to be my boyfriend and make us official. We were joking about who gets to propose ;)

"Ari that dress looked stunning on you tonight." Andy smiles as he takes out his earring before peeling off his pants to reveal batman briefs. While Andy isn't paying attention Arielle snaps a quick picture of him unbuttoning his dress shirt and his briefs. She posts it to twitter after a second of contemplation.

@ArielleJennaD: him and his batman... Haha!

They soon make their way to the bed, cuddling with Arielle's leg wrapped around his hip as they explore twitter and Instagram on their phones, occasionally looking at each other's tumblr tags upon the discovery that Arielle has one. Apparently she is already being written into fanfiction where she and Andy broke up. Andy's eyes widen as he sees one ridiculous hate post about Arielle:

~my thoughts on Arielle Dawson~
Arielle seems like a bitch. Not only does she seem to rub her relationship with Andy into all of the bvbarmy's face but she doesn't ever post about anything else. I recently discovered that she writes for teen vogue and let me say that all her articles fucking suck. She's too preppy for Andy and he deserves someone not so self centered. They moved in together after only two and a half months which is too short. I have a feeling their relationship won't last another few weeks. I mean who gets their first two tattoos for their boyfriend? She obviously forced him to get that tat of her name on his arm that only had batman tats b4. And on his collar bone! That's really painful, probably to symbolize his pain of being with her.
Andy needs to get back with juliet, they were perfect together!1!!

One person had reblogged and replied:

I totally agree with you, she's a whiny spoiled bitch. She doesn't deserve Andy as much as Juliet does.

Andy looks over to Arielle who's eyes are half closed as she reads her book on her phone. He plucks the phone from her hands and places it on the night stand along with his own iPhone, kissing her cheek and pulling Arielle closer in his arms. Her comforted sigh is enough for Andy to fall asleep at peace for the night.

Notes

Oh my god! Jinxx and sammi broke up :( I swear I will die crying if anymore bvb couples break up, especially Ella and Jake since I think Ella is amazing and has so much confidence and I could go on and on forever. I feel bas for Jinxx though, but I wish thye would clear up what was going on since all the people on twitter are guessing. Well, I'm going to see catching fire now so if you read my other fics I will update them later.
