Fireworks [ A Josh Franceschi fanfic ]

*We've just been offered our own tour for hold me down!*

A/N; so as you probably know, this story is set on the guys in college, so they wouldn't have had a lot of their albums out or singles so I'm not doing the songs to date, so yeah I just thought I'd let you guys know because when they tour they may play songs that wouldn't be out at that time yet if that makes any sense!! I'm also making a lot of stuff up because I don't know much about their tour history!! Thank you for reading this guys! If you like it then give it a vote or something and comment what you think:) & if you have any suggestions for what could happen in later chapters just comment or message me!!

*"you're a waste of space, no one will ever want you!"* the words of my mother from the year before replayed through my mind. Was she right? I mean, why does Josh like me? I'm nothing special. I was snapped out of my thoughts when Matt walked through the garage doors with drinks for us all. I was sat beside Josh and Max before standing up, thanking Matt for my drink and leaving the house, to sit down on the curb alone. I had been fine the last few weeks, why did my mothers harsh words have to ruin it now? I never let her get to me before, even throughout the time I was living with her, I never let it get to my head. But what if she was right? "Alexa!" I turned around to see Dan standing behind me with a worried expression. "You just took off without saying anything, is everything okay?" He asked and I forced a smile replying with "yeah I'm fine, thanks dan" but he saw straight through me. "Look, I may not have known you very long but I know you enough to know that you're not fine. You don't have to tell me why but I'm always here if you want to talk about it." By then he was sitting next to me with his arm around my shoulder. "Thanks, I just, well, there's something I haven't told you guys about before, it may have slipped up a few times but never talked about in detail or anything." Dan nodded for me to continue so I did exactly that. "Well, ever since I was little really my parents didn't want me, it was obvious, but they treated me well until I was about 13 and they never physically hurt me at the time, it was just with words, but when I turned 15 it became physical, that's why I moved away, I never let their words hurt me, I just got over it, but there was something she said last year that I didn't think twice about until now," I never liked talking about my family but this time I felt relief to finally say it out loud, like I've been holding it in for so long it felt good to tell someone. "I had no idea!" Dan pulled me into a hug before continuing. "What did she say Lexa?" He asked and my stomach turned. "You're probably going to think I'm really pathetic for getting upset over this," I laughed a little. "She said, I was a waste of space and that no one will ever want me, and I kind of just thought, what if she was right? Why does Josh like me? Or why do any of you guys like me for that matter.." I stopped when I noticed Josh stood behind us. "Hey" I mumbled, wiping the fresh tears from my eyes and smiled up at him, but he didn't smile back. "Hey." He said and Dan left us to talk alone. "How long have you been standing there for?" I asked hesitantly, standing up so I could face him. "Long enough to know about your parents treating you like shit, I mean you said they hated you, but I didn't expect that, I left it because I thought you didn't want to talk about it, I just, I don't even know what to say." He pulled me towards him and kissed the top of my head, wrapping his arms around my waist making me feel safe in his grip. "You don't have to say anything, just be there for me." I told him, standing on my top toes so my lips could connect with his swiftly. "Right, we better get you back to band practise" I smiled and we walked hand in hand back to Max's garage.

"Woo!" I called after the band had finished playing. Matt laughed at me because I did that after every song they played. "No fucking way!!" Chris almost shouted reading something off of his phone. "We've just been offered our own tour for hold me down!" The band cheered and Josh's face lit up with excitement. "Congrats!" I cheered with them and they spent time talking on the phone with a tour manger sorting everything out. I was so happy for them.

"Right, so how long will you be gone for?" I asked with a sad face knowing he had to leave within the next two months. "Just 6 weeks, i know it seems long but it'll fly by!" He told me with his arms tightly wrapped around me. "As much as I'll miss you, I'm so glad you got this opportunity!" I smiled and he kissed my nose playfully. "You're so adorable lexa" he told me and I blushed pulling away to sit on my freshly made bed. "Pizza night?" I suggested and Josh nodded and jumped on my bed too making me almost fall off.

Sorry this is a bit short! I'm going to make sure the next Chapters are longer :)
