——————————————————————————————————-

Beep beep beep...

Your alarm was blaring , you’d been awake for hours now , you heard it but just couldn’t find the energy to turn it off. Instead you let your arm fall to the side of your bed, feel around for the outlet and unplug the cord.

The beeping stops only for a loud bang of silence to fill your ears. It’s been three weeks since you last spoke to josh. You were honestly so frustrated with yourself and Josh right now but didn't want to let it show too much. You knew it, how could you be so dumb, of course you aren't the only girl he's talking to. The more you think about it the more upset you got. You weren’t sure you’d be able to get over this, which really bummed you out because not only did you like josh but you loved the company of the other guys too. You didn’t wanna lose your friendship with them, maybe you could even still be friends with josh....eventually....maybe.

Speaking of the devil your phone rang , you grab it to see who it is , it’s Jake. What would jake be calling you for ?

“Hello?” You answer , your voice week from crying for the past few weeks.

“Hey (y/n)....are you ok?” He asks getting straight to the point. You throw your hand up incredulously.

“No jake. No I’m not ok... I’m really not ok but you know what? That’s my fault. I thought me and josh had a connection that I guess he didn’t see” you answer, your voice losing its luster as you spoke. You could feel your heart breaking all over again.

Why were you so sad about this? It wasn’t like you knew josh for a super long time and had a crush on him forever. He just made you feel so good about yourself, so happy it was almost addicting. You missed him.

“I know, I’m sorry....I don’t know why he’s even messing with her again, they didn’t have a good relationship and she was super controlling and weird” Jake informs, he sounded a little aggravated, it was obvious he didn’t like her.

“Well I hope they’re happy together” you say with a tone that suggested otherwise.

“Well hey, me Danny and Sam are having a movie night tonight and I was wondering if you’d like to join?” He asks, his voice perking up. You didn’t answer right away. You mulled the idea over in your head.

“Josh won’t be here” Jake adds , trying to entice you.

“Sold. What time should I be there?” You reply.

“Hmm how about four?” He suggests.

“Sounds good, should I bring anything?” You ask.

“Just that beautiful smile” Jake flirts, you could hear the purr in his voice.

You laugh, it was the first time you’d laughed in weeks. It felt good.

“Will do, I’ll see you in a bit” you chime.

After the call ended , your rush of happiness faded, and worries filled your head.

Would hanging out with Jake , Sam and Danny make you miss josh even more? It was worth the risk for sure, the guys were so fun and brought such light to your life. You didn’t wanna lose three great friends just because one boy was being stupid.

You convinced yourself seeing the boys today was a good idea and with a smile on your face you hopped off your bed to get ready for the night.

———————————————————

When you got the Jake’s place you were really nervous but you weren’t sure why. You took a deep calming breath before knocking three times in the mahogany door. Within seconds the door was flung open and a smiling Danny stood in front of you.

“Hey! I’m so glad you came” he said instantly pulling you into a hug. The butterflies in your stomach melted away, trickling down your legs and pooling out of your shoes , you glanced down at the imaginary puddle before you were pulled into the house.

Jake was the next smiling face you seen, he looked great, glowing honestly , you’d almost forgotten how attractive all of them were.

“Hey girlie , come here” he chimes , arms open ready to hug you. His cologne wrapped around you almost as tightly as his arms.

“I missed you” he says again with a sweet smile.

“I missed you guys too, so much” you reply.

“Where should we get pizza from?” Sam asks walking in from the kitchen , phone in hand.

“Oh hey!!” He exclaims when his eyes fall on you. Like Danny and Jake he wraps you in a gentle hug.

“How have you been?” He asks, you can see concern sparkle in his bold eyes.

You shrug.

“I’ve been ok, just tired I guess” you respond , your gaze falling to the floor.

Sam smiles softly and rubs your arm with his gentle touch. It felt so nice to have friends that cared about you, genuinely cared. You think back to what sam said when he entered the room.

“Have you guys ever had Marcos?” You ask , lifting your head to look at the boys.

The all shook their heads.

“Ok gimmie your phone , what kind of pizza do you want?” You ask again , grabbing Sammy’s phone.

“Pepperoni”

“Sausage”

“Hawaiian”

They each answer at the same time. You roll your eyes and chuckle, 3 pizzas for 4 people seemed a bit overzealous but that was nothing a little Mary Jane couldn’t solve. You called the pizza place and ordered the pizzas , Sammy paid even though you insisted you would.

By the time the pizza came , you and they guys had a few drinks and were feeling pretty tipsy. That old familiar warmth pooled in your stomach , your eyes hung low as Danny passed you the joint that was circulating the room. You offer him a small smile as you pluck it from his fingers. The sweet taste of the blueberry flavored rolling paper soothed the harsh itch of the smoke itself, you cough none the less.

You were all in the living room watching a show called ‘Bobs burgers’ one of your favorites. There was a knock on the door , you all sat up quickly, looked at each other before Jake stood up to answer the door.

“I’ll get it” he says as he walks down the short flight of stairs to the door, you can’t see him but you can hear him give a shaky “hey” to whoever was at the door. You heard jakes footsteps coming up the stairs along with what sounded like two other people.

You could almost hear your heart shatter as josh and Andrea appear before you. Your face felt like it was on fire and panic set in.

“Josh is she wearing your shirt?” Andrea asks looking at you, you were indeed wearing the jacket he gave you the night you met him.

“Oh you’ve gotta be fucking kidding me” was all you could manage to get out.

“I’m gunna go you guys... I’ll see you later , thanks for inviting me over Jake I had fun” you say, the sound of defeat ringing in your voice. Jake nodded his head with a sympathetic look.

“(Y/n) wait” josh calls as you walk out the door.

“No” you retort slamming the door behind you. Seconds later the door flung open and josh caught up to you as you walked towards your car.

“(Y/n) please!” He exclaims grabbing your shoulder.

“Please what?! Are you insane? I have no desire to watch you and your squeeze toy drool over each other all night! I thought you liked me Josh but obviously I was just something to do until Andrea came back around” you argue.

“Oh sorry I have to cancel our date something came up” you add with a mocking tone. Josh simply sighed and dropped his head.

“Look I DO like you (y/n) I like you a lot you’re a really great chick it’s just..” josh began to protest.

“It’s just what??? Andrea’s better ?? She’s funnier, smarter, more talented....prettier?? It’s just nothing and I’m just stupid.” You spat. The heavy lump of what felt like hot coals was back in your throat and you turned your head so josh couldn’t see you tearing up.

“(Y/n)...” josh whispered wiping a tear from your cheek. You wince and step back.

“Don’t touch me. Just don’t even worry about it josh...I wouldn’t wanna interrupt your precious time with Andrea.” You say turning to get in your car. Josh stood there and watched you drive away. Droplets of rain slammed against your windshield as you sped down the road. You heard your phone vibrate , you glanced down at it on the passenger seat next to you , it was josh.

Josh: I’m sorry.

“The fuck if you are” you say to yourself but you don’t respond to his message. At this point you didn’t even know what to say to him. You guys could still be friends but you needed space from him emotionally. You let yourself get way too attached way too quickly and that was your fault but he shouldn’t have led you on.

When you finally reached your apartment you walked straight to your room , took off Josh’s jacket and your pants and climbed under your covers. More tears spilled down your face as you slowly fell asleep to the sound of the rain.

—————————————————

The next morning you were awoken by the sound of your phone vibrating incessantly. You grabbed it, seen it was your manager and answered the call.

You: “Hello?” Your voice was hoarse from sleep and crying.

Manager: “hey! Got some great news!” He chimes

You: “what’s up?”

Manager: “I booked you to open for a hot new band on their upcoming tour!!” He practically yells.

Sweet! You’d never toured with another band before.

You: “that’s awesome! Which band?” You ask now sitting up.

Manager: they’re called Greta Van Fleet!

Oh...
