Josh POV:

Her feet hit the ground again. My breathing was heightened as my lips left hers. "I-I-I just needed you to know before I never see you again" she turned around walking away my hand went straight up to my lips. I swallowed the lump in my throat watching her close her house door. Did that really just happen? My phone began to ring in my pocket, so I answered it still flabbergasted. "Hello?" It was Dan, I heard him stutter a little before he answered. "Charlie just called, we know everything. Elissa said that Charlie told her it was all her fault. That she kissed you and not to take anything out on you" she went ahead with it. Even after that kiss, I can't just stop thinking about it, it took my breath away.

"Alright..." I don't know what I'm supposed to say. I don't really pass the blame onto someone else in serious situations. "Yeah, are you alright man?" She doesn't deserve the blame either. I did wrong, I could have just let her leave instead of kissing her. "Uh yeah, I'm cool bro. Have you seen Jennifer?" I know what I have to do and I'm not scared to do it anymore. I know what I want. "Yeah she went home a while ago" I said bye to Dan and made my way to Jennifer's. I got there and she was sitting in the dark in her living room. The fuck is going on. "You kissed her Josh...I thought we had something" I sat down across from her, a bit scared to get any closer "I don't know, it's just I don't know what to do" do you think she'll turn out like one of these psychopathic ex's? Cause ain't nobody got time for that. "Do you like her Josh?" What am I supposed to say here? My currant girlfriend is asking me if I like someone else.... "Its Charlie, she was one of my best friends" she stood up rapidly facing me. Anger was written across her face.

"I asked if you like her, not if she was your mate!!" Her voice raised sounding clearly irritated. "Yes" I didn't even think about it. I didn't hesitate. I just spoke. "I will never let you be happy with her!" She spat out as she opened her front door "does this mean we're over?" I can definitely see her as a psycho.

Charlie POV:

Its been two hours and I've already been abused by almost every social networking site ever. I've been called a whore, a relationship ruiner, a tramp you name it. I was scared to pick up my phone in case it was some weird creepy angry fan. I was pretty terrified. I'd had texts from everyone I knew, even Max had texted me a few times asking if it was true and if I was alright. Bless, at least he still cares. I can't believe that its spread so viciously. My lip was a little swollen as well as my eye. The cut under my eyes wasn't swollen though. Elissa called and apologized, she didn't mean to act the way she did, she was just confused and angry. Surprisingly, I haven't cried. I want to so badly and I fear that as soon as someone so much as touches me I'll burst. I just want my family.

"I've really done it this time huh?" I was sitting on the floor in my living room in the corner. I was holding a picture of me, my dad and my gran. "I really have fucked up. I don't have any friends, I know Max is still okay but he'll leave eventually. At least Josh knows how I feel. I owe him that at least." Im such a lunatic. Im talking to a photograph. A photograph. Im insane, I've finally hit insanity. "I feel like, I want him here. Like, I need him. I don't even think I felt this way about Luke" I heard my front door open and instantly shot up. "Charlie?" Josh? I bolted through the living room to see him. "Y-y-you came back?" I stammered not really knowing what to do. "Im sorry this got out of hand, I never should have left you to take the blame!" He took a step towards me, enveloping me in his arms.

"Im so sorry" he whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. "I don't want to be with her. I wouldn't have kissed you if it didn't mean anything" I felt like I left my stomach in the living room. Did he leave his girlfriend... For me? "Josh what are you saying?" He pulled away from me looking into my eyes "Im saying I want to be with you, Charlie. I have for so long!" I swallowed the lump that had lodged itself in my throat. "Joshua are you on crack cocaine!?" He laughed shaking his head. "No, as crazy as this might seem to you Im not and I do want to be with you so please say yes you'll be my girlfriend!" I smiled uncontrollably.

"Well Im not going to say no!! You'll have to tell everyone that we lied though..." He sighed taking my hand. "As long as you're still mine, I don't care" he pressed his lips against me, a lot more passionate than the last time. "That should have been our first kiss" he mumbled. I just nodded and kissed him again.

"So you basically just lied to us? And now yous are together as if nothing happened?" Josh nodded his head while I shook mine. "Well I have a few bruises that won't fade for a while so until then, its going to be a pain to forget" I winked over at Elissa who nervously laughed. "Im so sorry Charlie, I didn't even intend-" I cut her off waving my hand in the air. "Its totally cool, at least I know never to piss you off again!"

Everyone laughed and Max just ran up to me throwing his arms around me. "I missed you so much Choo Choo Train" I laughed hugging him back "Maximus it hasn't even been a day since I saw you!" Aw I love Max. "Yeah but it felt like an eternity, never leave me again" Aw he's so cute! "I won't!"

"KFC TIME!!" Matt screamed as he shot up to his feet. "Yes and we're watching Gossip Girl! So gather around peasants!" Dan added. I missed this. I missed them. "Peasants? Consider me gathered, your majesty" I bowed to him and he went along with it. "Good peasant" he winked at me and put the tv on.
