THIRD PERSON POV

Henry and Audrianna once again were having another one of their petty fights and everyone was just awkwardly watching them.

"What is going on with those two?" Ray asked

"They're having another one of their stupid and petty fights." Kelly rolled her eyes

"Hey! It's not stupid!" Audrianna crossed her arms

"Or petty!" Henry agreed

Charlotte sighed "Fine. What are you guys fighting about now?"

"Go on, tell 'em why you're mad at me." Henry put his hands on his waist

Audrianna scoffed "See? You're saying it like i'm always wrong."

"Everything I do is always wrong to you! From liking an Envygram post to talking to a girl too 'flirtatiously'." Henry did air quotes

"You were looking straight into her eyes!"

"She was the ice cream vendor, where was I supposed to look!?"

"See? Petty and stupid." Kelly spat out

"Oh my God, you are unbelievable Henry Hart!"

"You're unbelievable too, Audrianna Manchester!"

"Okay- you know what? Come here." Audrianna tried to lunge at Henry but everyone was quick enough to try and stop her

"Run! Run fast and far!" Ray yelled

"Don't look back!" Jasper added, pulling Audrianna back

Henry ran to the elevator, frantically pressing the buttons.

Kelly grabbed a nearby airhorn and honked it, making everyone cover their ears.

Once it stopped, everyone looked at her in bewilderment.

"Okay, that's a time out." Kelly demanded, pointing to the sprocket

Audrianna furrowed her eyebrows "No, I was just-"

"Go sit in your room." Kelly demanded

"But--"

"In your room." she repeated, a bit louder.

Audrianna pouted before going up the sprocket and locking herself in her room.

Time skip - The next day

The couple were shooting daggers at each other while their friends awkwardly watched them.

"How about we get to class?" Charlotte grabbed Audrianna's hand but immediately stopped in her tracks when Andrew Florence stood in front of the girls.

"Hey, Audrianna. Hey Charlotte." he smiled warmly at the girls

"Andrew? Hey." Charlotte asked as Jasper and Henry slowly walked up to them

"Study group at my place. You gals interested?"

"We're going too." Henry chimed in, making him recieve a glare from Audrianna

"Yeah, sure. You and Jasper can come." Andrew turned back to the girls "So, you ladies down?"

"Yeah, sure. We're down." Audrianna agreed.

"Ehhhh, I'll pass. I prefer studying on my own. Right Jasper?" Charlotte turned to him

"Uh- y-yeah! I can't go either because uh- my chia pet- uh.. Got divorced!" Jasper reasoned, earning weird looks from everyone

"Yeah, whatever." Henry rolled his eyes, walking away with Jasper following behind him sheepishly.

Audrianna sighed in frustration "So what time is this study group?"

"Seven tonight. You gonna be there?"

"Yeah, I'll see what I can do."

"Oh, and if you want you can bring friends with you."

"Thanks Florence." Audrianna smiled cheekily

"See ya in class, Andrew." Charlotte waved goodbye before walking to class with Audrianna.

Visual: (Andrew's house)

Audrianna, along with Kelly walked into Andrew's huge living room. There was around fifteen people there, scattered around the house.

Jasper and Charlotte didn't want to go to the study group because they didn't want to get in the middle of another one of the couple's fights. So Kelly volunteered to go. After all, the couple would probably murder each other when they're alone.

"Dria! So glad you made it with your friend." Andrew was the first to greet her

"Heyo, Drew." she smiled cheekily

"Andd she is?" Andrew turned to Kelly

"Kelly." she shook his hand

"Ah, nice to meet you Kelly." he smiled warmly at her before turning back to Audrianna "Feel free to study anywhere you'd like. Want me to get you a drink?"

"Yeah, sure. I can go for a--" Audrianna got cut off by Kelly dragging her to the side

"What are you doing?" Kelly whispered

"What are you talking about?"

"That guy is obviously trying to flirt with you!"

Audrianna scoffed "No he is not. Don't be so paranoid."

"Just because you and Henry fought doesn't mean you can let guys flirt with you like that."

"He's just trying to be nice. It's fine. Besides, I don't like him. So it wouldn't be cheating would it?" Audrianna raised an eyebrow

"Yeah, but--"

"Okay, Audrianna here is your drink. It's just juice." Andrew chimed in, holding out a cup

"Thanks." Audrianna smiled warmly at him before grabbing the cup

Kelly sniffed the drink "Okay, this does not smell like 'just juice'."

"What are you talking about?" Andrew asked

"This smells like alcohol.." the Latina's eyes widened

"Uhm. It's not alcohol, everyone is here to study. Not to party. And besides, everyone in the group is underaged. I wouldn't be out here serving alcohol." Andrew chuckled nervously

"Good point." Audrianna drank out of the cup of juice despite Kelly's protests.

She gagged "I think your juice is expired." she scrunched her nose in disgust

"Nah. It's just a different brand. Come on, I'll get you more."

"No. Uh-uh, you're not drinking anymore." Kelly snatched the cup from her

"Don't be such a joykill, Kelz." she smiled teasingly before dragging Kelly to the kitchen with Andrew.

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

Henry was staring at her girlfriend laughing and smiling at Andrew while they "stufied" . He wasn't studying himself, he just spent the last hour staring at Audrianna. He had to admit, she looked beautiful but something about seeing her happy with another guy is unsettling for him.

Kelly frantically ran up to Henry "Hen, we have a huge problem!"

"Wha- what's wrong?" Henry looked at the girl, worried.

"AndrewgaveDriaalcholtellingheritwasjuiceandshedranklikefivecupsand nowshe'ssuperdrunk!" Kelly blurted out all at once

"Okay- I'm gonna need you to slow down."

"Andrew gave Dria alcohol telling her it was juice and she drank like five cups and now she's super drunk!" she repeated

"What!?" Henry's eyes widened "She's fifteen!"

"I tried to stop her.."

Andrew cleared his throat "I have to take care of something, Dria. Hope you don't mind."

"Nope! Not at all!" she giggled drunkenly.

Andrew smiled at the girl in awe before walking up to Henry and Kelly, standing next to him "Damn, look at that fiiiine lady." he pointed to Audrianna.

Henry turned to him in shock "What?"

"I'm just saying, man. You hit the jackpot- she is one fine lookin' gal."

"Andre-" Kelly got cut off by Henry's fist landing on Andrew's face.

The entire room was filled with gasps and murmurs.

Andrew stared at his bloody nose in horror "What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

"What's going on?" Audrianna walked up to Kelly, completely oblivious to what's happening

Kelly turned to Audrianna "Dria, honey. I should take you ho-"

"No, I wanna stay." She pushed Kelly's hand off of her arm

Andrew stood back up and punched Henry in the face. Gasps filled the crowd as they stared at the two boys in bewilderment.

Audrianna clenched her fists, crushing her cup of cocktail before swinging her fist at Andrew, knocking him onto the coffee table.

Everyone stared at them in horror as the fight went on with Andrew getting off of the coffee table "You bitch!" he yelled at Audrianna

"That is it!" Henry lunged at Andrew, repeatedly punching his face "How. Fucking. Dare you. Call my. Girlfriend. A bitch!" Henry continued punching him until his knuckles bled.

Andrew threw Henry off of him as he grabbed Audrianna's hand and she kicked Andrew in the jaw.

Henry smiled proudly at his drunken girlfriend as the crowd looked at them in shock.

"We- we should go.." Kelly dragged the couple out of the mansion.

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

Kelly went home and Henry offered to take his drunk girlfriend back to the Man Cave.

"Henry, Dria! How was the study group?" Ray asked, smiling at the couple.

"Well.." Henry tried to think of something to say

"Wait. Why is your lip bleeding? And why is she smiling like that?"

"Heyyyy.." Audrianna waved in a drunken manner, she was a bit sober now but still tipsy

"I- is she drunk!?" Ray asked

"Look- I had no clue what happened, Kelly ran up to me and told me that Andrew Florence gave Dri alcohol, telling her it was punch." Henry's grip tightened around Audrianna's waist, stabilising her "And then I got into a fight with Andrew then she joined in.."

"WHAT?!"

"She wasn't hurt though!" he quickly added

"Henry! You were supposed to look out for my daughter! You promised to keep her safe and now she drank alcohol even though she's underaged!"

"I know.. I tried, okay?"

Ray looked up and sighed in frustration, avoiding Henry's gaze.

The boy huffed "Look man, you know how much I love Dri and you know I'd do anything to protect her- it's just- I didn't know that Andrew gave her alcohol, Kelly was with her and she said she tried to stop her."

Ray sighed "Look- just-" he leaned over to Henry to whisper to him "She may not be my real daughter but I incredibly love and care for her; You know that, right Henry?"

"Yes, sir."

"So please.. Please. I would be so so grateful if you would help keep her safe and happy."

"Yes, sir."

"Whatcha guys talkin' about?" Audrianna smiled cheekily as she poked her dad's cheek

"Go bring her to her room and take care of her, I'll talk to Florence's parents."

"Yes, sir." Henry lead Dria up her room "Come on, one step at a time.."

Once they got to her room, he sat her down on her bed before kneeling down and taking off her boots, setting them aside by the door.

He got up and cupped his girlfriend's cheeks "Do you need anything? Do you feel like throwing up?"

"No.." Audrianna mumbled, tears welling up in her eyes for no apparent reason

"Woah, woah, woah. Why are you crying?" Henry wiped away the tears streaming down her cheeks

"Is it true? What you think about me being too sensitive and overprotective?" The girl sounded hurt and heartbroken "Am I not good enough for you..?"

"Wha-" Henry sighed "No, no..that's not true now please stop crying.." he got back down on one knee to be on the same level as her.

Audrianna sniffled "Really..?" her eyes lit up with hope

"You're more than enough for me.." she grabbed her hand and kissed it softly, sitting down next to her

"I'm sorry." Audrianna looked down, tears still streaming down her cheeks "For our fights." she sniffled "For everything rude I said. For all the times I was stubborn. For all the times I've hurt you or made you upset. For everything."

"No, no, no. It's okay.." he whispered "I still love you, no matter what."

"I love you too.." Audrianna mumbled

Henry smiled at his girlfriend softly before speaking up again "Oh- uh, and hey. I've been wanting to give you something for a little while. Kelly helped me pick it out." he got back down on one knee and pulled out a small box.

Audrianna giggled. She was a bit sober now "What is this?"

Henry opened the box to reveal a small ring.

Visual: (Promise ring chill 😊)

Audrianna's eyes widened "Henry.. It's so beautiful.. Thank you."

"I'm glad you liked it." Henry smiled softly at the girl before slipping the ring on her finger

She stared at the ring in awe before looking back up at Henry "I love you.."

"Forever and always?"

"Forever and always.."

Time skip - 45 minutes

Ray walked back in Audrianna's room "Okay, I talked to--" he stopped in his tracks when he saw the couple sleeping in each other's arms.

He smiled at the couple in awe as he pulled out his phone, taking a picture of them before leaving the room, slowly closing the door in hopes that they don't wake up.
