Harrison POVI had almost forgotten about my birthday with everything going on with Rhett getting married. Milo offered to take me out one day as we were brainstorming for the bachelor party, and I took him up on his offer quite quickly. After Holly’s and my playful imagining of my own bachelor party, I thought that a gay bar sounded like the perfect escape.Of course, since we’re twins, Holly is coming along to the bar.“I get to come too?!” she shouted through the phone excitedly at me, making me laugh.“Yes, of course, you are! We’ve never spent a birthday apart, you wanna start now?”“Hell no! Oh my gosh, I’m so excited! I’m totally going to try to turn one of the guys there.”“What?!”“I think it would be fun! It’s been getting pretty easy with guys lately, I could use a challenge. Plus, I'm freshly single and looking for some new meat.”“Holly, if you want to go home with a gay man, you can have Milo.”“I don’t want your sloppy seconds!”I laughed at her. “What about going home

Harrison POVAs quickly as I had spotted Rhett, he had disappeared. Was he even here in the first place? Or was I hallucinating? Maybe someone here spiked a drink I was given and I’m seeing things now. I don’t know why Rhett would show up here. Actually, that’s not true. I know exactly why he would show up here: he would want to speak to me about what happened between us, you know, how we had sex and he told me he loves me, then began crying because he was torn and ultimately chose Rebecca, then saying he hopes I’ll still be his best man and be there for him in the end.To be fair, I was the one who said it was a mistake. But at the same time, I also wasn’t the one who confessed his love for the other and then froze. I guess I kind of ran away from the situation and have been ignoring it ever since, but I’ve never been in this position before and I have no idea how to handle it. How is one supposed to react when they finally make love to the person they believe is their soulmate and t

Rhett POVI drove my parents to Rebecca’s condo because parking there was always rather scarce, and I didn’t want them to have anything to complain about. The ride was silent, and I wondered if my parents ever had anything to say to me that wasn’t about what happened with Harrison. It seemed like all they ever did was complain to me about my past failures in their eyes, and never anything about my successes. Hopefully, that fact will change after the wedding.Rebecca opened the door for us with a wide smile and hugged my parents as if they were the closest friends in the world.“I’m so happy you are here!”“So are we, Rebecca!”“Come on in, I just set the table.”We all walked in together, and I shut the front door behind us.“What a lovely condo,” mom praised her as she took in her surroundings.“Thank you, Mrs. Langely!”“Oh, please, dear, call me Coraline,” mom insisted. “You decorated the place yourself, yes?”“Yes, my home was my interior designing guinea pig,” Rebecca said with

Rhett POVI was with my parents, feeling as suffocated as ever by them when the phone rang and I learned that Holly was in the hospital. I up and left my parents with a quick “I have to go” and rushed to the hospital to make sure she was alright and find out what happened. I was startled when I saw the police officers there and walked carefully over to them. “Um, I’m Rhett Langely. Holly is my best friend’s sister.”One of the officers pulled out a little notepad that I saw was an “Approved Visitors” list, and he nodded before letting me enter the room.I saw Harrison first, sitting on a chair and holding Holly’s hand, but I couldn’t see Holly entirely. Our eyes met immediately, and he said my name. I walked toward him as if I was floating on air.Once past the curtain, I saw Holly’s condition, and my entire body went cold. Here was this bubbly, happy person who is always optimistic and fun, laying in a hospital bed covered in bruises with her arm and leg in casts. “Hey, Rhett,” sh

Rhett POVThe night had seemed to be going well, and I was in good spirits for the most part as Rebecca and I mingled with everyone. My parents had come up to me and shared their thoughts on Harrison’s new relationship and how happy he seems to be, and I was left horribly confused. I looked around and spotted him and Milo walking hand in hand toward the table where dinner was about to be served.‘Well, that’s new,’ I thought to myself. Milo said he didn’t have romantic feelings for Harrison, and as far as I know, Harrison felt the same way about Milo, and their friendship was extremely casual. Did I miss something?Dinner began, and I casually glanced at where Harrison and Milo were sitting a few times. Every time I looked, they were laughing or leaning close to one another. At one point, Milo whispered something to Harrison that made him laugh, and I couldn’t help the tinge of jealousy I felt as I watched them in their own little bubble.“You okay, hon?” Rebecca asked as she placed
