She's The Girl (Johnny-Christ-fanfic)

Keeping Secrets

After Charlotte got dressed, she walked out of the bathroom right as Brian and Matt walked onto the bus.

"So Escape The Fate is pulling out of the next show unfortunately."

"Uh oh why?" Zacky asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Because Max got jumped." When Matt said Max's name, Charlotte tensed up but she tried her best not to make it noticeable, at least it helped that she was over by the bunks so no one was right by her, "Guess whoever whoever did it to him, did quite a number on him."

"Poor guy." Val clicked her tongue as she shook her head, "Does he know who did it?"

"Is he okay?" Michelle asked at the same time that Val asked her question.

"He's fine, pretty beat up but fine." Brian shrugged, "And by what the tour manager said that Max said he didn't exactly know the guys but they knew who he was and hated him and the band's music."

"That's fucked up." Zacky rolled his eyes with a groan, "Attacking someone just because you hate the music they put out."

"Or maybe he did or said something that pissed them off." Charlotte said with a shrug of her shoulders.

"She's right, I mean I've heard him along with Ronnie saying some cocky things." Michelle pointed out with a smirk.

As everyone kept talking about it, Charlotte didn't feel like listening to any of it, so instead she went and laid down in the bunk. Johnny watched her with a sigh, and knew it wasn't like her to go off by herself, so instead of sitting there he stood up to go check on her.

"We're going to be checking into a hotel for the night." He called out Johnny as he walked off, "So if you two want to sleep in a more comfortable in a more comfortable bed, then I wouldn't fall asleep." He then sat where Johnny was just sitting.

"All right." Johnny nodded then went over to the bunk and crawled in next to Charlotte. "You okay babe?"

"Uh yeah. Just felt like laying down." Since she was laying on her back she grabbed his hand and pulled on it so that his arm was laying across her chest and his hand was snuggled up against the side of her head. 

"Well we're going to go check in a hotel for the night." He smiled feeling her do that and so he gently rubbed his thumb back and forth on her cheekbone.

"Yeah I heard." She spoke softly.

"So where'd you go? You had me worried." He spoke once they were settled into the hotel and was laying down for the night.

"I'm sorry." She sighed, "It's just, I decided to go for a walk and I found a pier so as I was sitting there up against one of the pillars looking at the water, I ended up dozing off, I didn't mean to honestly." She frowned slightly, she hated lying to him but she didn't want to let him know what actually happened, especially since the guys had gotten to be good friends with Max and his band.

"Babe, that was a risk, next time please let someone know or take one of us with you especially since you weren't in a sober mind." 

"Trust me I know." She sighed with an eyeroll.

"Anything could have happened tonight." 

"I understand that, but can we just drop it please, fuck." She snapped then sighed, "I'm sorry, I'm fine so please don't worry okay? I didn't mean to snap at you." She frowned as she rolled to her side and laid her forehead against his chest. "And I didn't mean to worry you guys."

"No, it's okay baby." He ran his hand down the back of her head as he kissed the top of it.

"I love you."
