I’m shocked, but also unsurprised because they are best friends. Is that why Oscar doesn’t want Finn and Isla to be together? Because Finn likes men?
“Of course, he does. And do you think that’s the reason why he wouldn’t want you two together?” Finn shrugs. “Seriously? I mean, you know him better than I do, but I do know that Oscar isn’t conventional in the bedroom, so I can’t imagine he’d be that shocked. Unless …”Oh no. Please, no. Don’t say it’s because Oscar and Finn are hooking up?That is fucked up if they are. It will devastate Isla. Finn’s head hangs in shame, and he can’t even look at me.“Oh.” Fuck, fuck, fuckitty fuck. I can’t hold this secret in, not when my girl is pining after him like she does. I look up and see her and Tyler still talking together. Tyler is seriously flirting with her, but I can tell she is still slightly closed off to the idea, she’s probably waiting to see what Finn does.
“Was it …?”
Finn shakes his head. “Once, there were a lot of drugs and …”
Oh. Things happened. Shit. “This has just gotten a little complicated, but I still think you need to tell her.”
“I know,” he says sadly.
He’s got himself in a bit of a pickle that boy, and I don’t think anything I say either way is going to help him. “You should never feel ashamed, Finn. No one should ever be ashamed of what they desire.” Finn gives me an understanding nod as I walk away, not listening to my advice in the slightest because I’m still covering for the man that I love, who is ashamed of his desires.
The night after that turned a little wild. There was way too much drinking, and some people partook in some drugs, and the night gets a little fuzzy after that.

DERRICK
Ihear raised voices as I pull myself from the deepest depths of hangover hell, and I walk out into the living room to see Axel pacing around the room on the phone.
“Axel?” I call out to him.
“Did you know?” he screams at me.
I shake my head. What the hell is he talking about? Then there’s banging on our door, and Axel rushes over and opens it. It’s Evan and Sienna.
“What the fuck was he thinking?” Evan says to Axel.
“He wasn’t,” Axel spits back.
“What is going on?” I ask Sienna, utterly confused by the code talking.
“Ness and Christian got married last night. It’s all over TMZ.”
I gasp. “No!” Sienna nods.
“Mom is devastated. She was crying on the phone to me,” Axel shouts. Sienna and I look at each other. “It’s embarrassing, he looks like a drunken fool.”
“They were always going to get married, the timelines just moved up,” I tell him because I think Axel is overreacting, but he does look hot while doing it, all alpha and shit.
“Derrick’s right, Chris loves her. They have been through so much. Guess they were feeling the love and went for it,” Evan adds. Axel glares at his friend.
“Is it really that bad that he married Nessa?” I ask Axel.
“I love Ness. But he’s broken Mom’s heart by getting married and not telling her. She had to see it on the TV. That is unforgivable, hurting Mom like that.” Axel’s in protective mode, I get it.
“I’m sure they will have another wedding, and she will get to be at that one,” Sienna adds.
“That’s not the point,” Axel says, raising his voice at her.
“Watch how you talk to my wife,” Evan warns him.
“Sorry,” Axel tells her. “I have to talk to him.”
And with that, we follow one pissed off rock star.
“Open the fuck up,” Axel screams, banging on their door. Vanessa opens it and is surprised to see the four of us standing there. She looks like a disheveled mess, it seems like they had a dirty wedding night. “Is Christian decent?”
