Word count: 8.0k+

Pairing: Josh x Female Reader

Summary: After pushing the girl you love into the arms of your best friend, you're left regretting your choices.

Warnings: 18+ as always, language, drinking, sexual situations, smut, fluff.

You climb into your car and Josh shuts the door behind you, disappearing back into the bar with a smile and a wave.

He's such a good guy. What did I do to deserve someone like that in my life?

What the fuck is Daniel doing in there? What was that? Just when I thought we were finally good...

You let out a big exhale and start your car, trying to relax your racing mind. The whole drive home you convince yourself that you're overreacting and that its harmless.

Danny and I are fine. He loves me. He wouldn't fuck this up already, we just put the pieces back together.

As you walk into your front door you feel your phone buzz in your purse.

D: Where did you go?

You: You just noticed I was gone?

D: No.

You: I went home.

D: Why? You didn't even tell me.

You: Are you really asking why I left?

D: I know... I'm sorry.

You put your phone down, unsure of how to respond. You know you are emotional and don't want to say something you don't mean. You flip through movies on Netflix when your phone rings.

"Hello?" You answer.

"Baby, please.... I didn't know what to do." Danny begs.

"I don't know Danny... the whole thing was weird. You didn't even notice I left. You immediately ignored me as soon as she walked in." You say.

"No, I wasn't! I just didn't want you to have to be involved with her at all. I swear. I wanted her to leave just as bad as you did. We all did." He says. You can hear the sincerity in his voice, causing your hardened stance to soften a bit.

"It just felt... not great." You reply.

"I know, just come over. Come over and let me hold you. I need you. Only you. I promise." He says.

Your heart flutters at his words.

"Okay, I will leave here soon." You say.

"Okay, love you." He replies.

"Love you." You say hanging up.

You sigh, releasing all the anxiety from your body. Just as you are collecting your things and getting ready to head out the door you feel your phone buzz again.

Jeez, I'm popular tonight.

Josh: You ok?

You: Yeah, everything is fine. I am about to head over to his house.

Josh: Really? After all that?

You: What?

Josh: You let him disrespect you all night, completely disregard your presence, then run right back into his arms as soon as he asks?
