Give Your Heart A Break (Marianas Trench Fic)

Miscommunication and a move

 The photo is Leia!

Josh's POV

After Leia left, things calmed down. Cathryn seemed a little sad that her friend had left. She had her other friends but things were different with Leia. I saw a different side to her. She had been getting up and playing music in the morning and dancing around. She seemed like a great weight had been lifted. She was more bubbly and more willing to have some fun after work. She wasn't so standoffish.

I was getting ready to leave one morning while Cathryn was still asleep. I had to get to the studio for a session. I was running out the door and I had no idea I had left my phone. When I got to the studio I felt like a dumbass. I shrugged it off as I got ready to work. I smiled as I saw who was in the booth and sat down at the console.

“Ok so I think we should try that again. Try and make it a little more up tempo.” I looked down as someone walked up with a phone.

“Hey it's Mike, he sounds pissed.” Brett shrugged.

“What's up Mike?” I fiddled with the controls as he yelled.

“What the hell is your problem? Do you have to keep fucking up everything when you have it so fucking good?” He snapped, he was talking out his ass.

“What the fuck are you bitching about?” I hissed, not wanting to deal with him.

“You're seeing someone other then Cathryn? Really? She is over here inconsolable! You are such a fucking prick.” He was on a roll.

“What are you talking about?” I was more then a little confused.

“I saw the text. You left your phone with Cat. She heard a chime and checked. She read what was said and fell apart. What the fuck?” He kept yelling at me. I hate being yelled at.

“Dude back the fuck up. What text?” I had no idea what he was talking about and I was wondering who he meant.

“Some chick named Carly texted you and asked if you were on your way to see her or not.” He was reading into things.

“Whoa whoa! Carly Rae Jepsen?” I was shocked if Mike was reading into a fucking text.

“Yea her. Why? Is it because Cat is making you wait?” He was out of line.

“Ok first shut the fuck up. Second I'm working with her on a few songs. Talk to Chad. She's on 604.” I snapped at him. I was fuming I was so pissed.

“Wait what?” He suddenly calmed down.

“She's on our label. Chad asked me to work on a few songs with her. Shit I'll be there in a few. I'll explain everything to Cat.” I hung up and told Carly we'd have to work another time.

I raced over to Mike's and he stepped outside. He wouldn't me in.

“She doesn't wanna see you or talk to you right now, she is way pissed and upset. Why didn't you tell him about Carly?” He raised an eye brow and looked at me as I lit a smoke.

“I didn't think it would be an issue, I told Chad yes before I ever met Cat. I just never thought it would matter.” I exhaled and turned to my friend.

“Dude what the hell goes through your head? You're dating a girl who has been through hell and been cheated more then any woman should. You need to think shit through before you act. She may not forgive you this time. She's is really upset.” He leaned on the banister to his apartment and shook his head.

“I can't lose her. She's perfect. She is so sweet and I wasn't trying to hurt her. I swear. I was just working. I have no interest in Carly. She's sweet, but I want Cat.” I rested my head on my arms as I took a drag from my smoke.
