No One Takes Me Home [Student/Teacher] (Josh Franceschi)

30. I've Been Around

Autumn woke up in an empty bunk, it made her disappointed because she wanted to give Josh a morning kiss.
Instead she took her phone from under her pillow, she already saw her twitter bombered with notifications. Eager to see what the fuss was about she scrolled through some. They all linked her to facebook, which she thought was strange so she decided to click on one of the links.
It was a disgusting status from a guy at her school saying rude things about her and Josh. She read some comments and it hurt her, that total strangers would say something like 'she looks slutty in her profile anyway' or 'ew she's such a butch'

"Hey whatcha do..." Josh came up next to her, He'd just give to the toilet. He saw what she was looking at. "Baby what is that?"
Autumn got startled and locked her phone and threw it away next to her. She tried to dry her eyes discretely. Josh hugged her and pulled her close to his chest, he kissed the top of her forehead. 
"Baby, they're just stupid people, they don't know shit. And I know it's hard being attack on the internet like that but you got to remember, they don't you personally so don't take it personally. Ok?" 
Autumn looked up at him and smiled weakly, she gave him a small nod to let go of her and he did. 
"It's just that, these are people at my school, some of them actually do know me" she said. She then jumped out of the bunk and walked away. Josh, assuming she was mad at him or the world let her walk away. It's better if she can just be on her own for a little while. 

Josh didn't really know what to do, h ejust wanted to make her happy since she seemed so upset. He got an idea, it was probably really lame but at least it would make her smile. So he put on a jacket and pants and whatever more he needed to not freeze his butt off out there in the winter. 
"Hey where are you going?" Matt asked when Josh passed him in the front lounge, Matt was sitting on the couch next to Dan, they were watching what looked like Pulp Fiction. 
"Probably out to get more condoms" Dan commented and grinned at himself as if he made the joke of the year. 
"Ayoo Josh get it!" Matt laughed and gave Dan a high five, which Dan replied to with a fist bump, which made that into an awkward fist bump/high five thing. Josh just shook his head and walked out the door. 

He got back with coffee for everyone, as he entered the bus it looked almost excatly as it did when he had left it. His band mates were all sitting in the front lounge watching whatever crappy show the TV signal could show, Autumn was sitting in the sofa too, she was on her phone though and didn't look up when Josh entered. 
"Got coffee for everyone!" Josh said cheerful and placed it on the table. In respons he got a few 'mhm' and 'oh nice..', everyone was too busy with their phones or the TV. "Yeah, sure. No problem!" 

He sat down next to Autumn with her coffee in his hand. She looked up and instantly a big smile grew on her face. She took the hot cup and hugged him. 
"Thank you baby" she said and had a sip of it. Josh nodded at her and gave her a small smile. She was probably still upset about that status thing about her, he could understand how it must feel. Since he and the other guys used to get a lot of hate. Well, they still do but nowadays they don't care about it. He just didn't want her to be so sad and overdramatic. Yeah sure, there's people from school, but it's none of their business, if you're happy together it shouldn't matter. Even though, he was a bit scared about the teachers and head master finding out about it. It would get him in loads of trouble. 

After a very long and tired morning the band headed outside for some lunch and to meet fans. Only All Time Low went with them, apperently the other bands hadn't woken up yet. 
Lazy fuckers, they all got to bed so earlier the day before. Someone should go onto their buses and like yell into one of those megaphones, that'll wake them up. 

Alex walked next to Autumn and Josh, he smiled at Autumn and nudged her shoulder making her look at him. 
"Morning, how's your day so far?" he asked, he had covered his messy morning hair with a big red beanie, it made him look bald since he keeps cutting his hair for, what seems like, everyday. Autumn wondered if he knew he looked bald. 
"Awful, but ti's getting better" she said and squeezed Josh's hand. Alex pouted leaned his head on her shoulder, which wasn't a good idea when walking. 
"Aw, Autumn that sucks. What happened?" 
"No I'm not telling y-" she started but got interrupted by Alex. 
"No come on, tell uncle Lex your problems. I promise I can solve them. And if I can't, alcohol can!" he smiled at his own joke. Josh rolled his eyes at him. "Hey, Josh, you know that's true man! Have you forgotten about our last tour together?" 
"I was trying to.." he muttered and pulled his scarf up his neck, it wasn't snowing at the moment thankfully. But it was cold as fuck. He felt bad for all the people standing in line this early.
