Chemical Love (Craig Mabbitt Fanfic)

Chapter 33

*Anastasia's POV*

After I dressed, I grabbed my phone and made my way to FIR's bus. Some people would think I was stupid to try and make amends but Max was a good friend. I had always looked up to him and saw him as an idol-I still wanted to be friends with him.

I knocked on the door and waited.

'Coming!' a British accent called. Jacky opened the door, letting me in. I smiled at him as a hello and threw myself onto the couch.

'Hey Jack, is Max here? I need to speak with him,' I asked politely.

'Uh, no. I don't think so. I'm pretty sure he went to find food,'

'OK, thank you. I would stay and chat but this is important. See ya later!' I waved to him as I walked off the bus. I pulled out my phone to double check that he was with catering. I got a reply in moments.

Max- yeah I'm at catering, why?

Instead of replying I headed straight to his location. I quickly found him and sat on the other side of the table.

'We need to talk,' I said startling him.

'Shit Tay, can you not? And what about?' I gave him a look.

'You know what Max. Be honest, did that kiss mean anything?'

*Max's POV*

That was question I did not want to be asked. I didn't want to lie to her but she couldn't know how I really felt.

'Look, it didn't mean anything...' she visibly relaxed, '...to you...' she took a sharp intake of breath, 'I'm sorry Tay but I love you. I do and I swear I never meant to do that. I never want to get in the way of you and Craig but I can't help it. You can't stop or force feelings,' I sighed and look away. She's going to be so mad at me.

'I-I understand Max,' I instantly looked back.

'You do?'

'Of course I do. I've been in the same position-except I didn't kiss them...' I nodded slowly.

'Soooo...you're not mad?' She sighed.

'If you promise not to do again-and MEAN IT-then we can go back to the way we used to be. I didn't want to lose you as a friend that's why I came here to clear things up,' I let out a sigh of relief.

'Thank you so much. I swear I won't do it again. Ever,' she laughed.

'Alright alright. Let's go you dork-I wanna see Bring Me The Horizon's set!' she stood up and started dragging me through the crowds of people. She began head banging to the music the moment we got there. I couldn't help but notice her face light up when the crowd split for the wall of death. We each took a side facing one another. Oli made the signal and the audience charged.

After their set Anastasia insisted on going backstage to say hi to Oli. Apparently they were pretty good friends.

'Hey Oli you faggot!' she called out to him. I looked at her shocked for a moment before he replied.

'Anastasia ya twat! Where've ya been?' they continued to converse while I stood awkwardly. In case you haven't noticed-I don't talk to Oli much.

'Oh shit!' I heard Anastasia, 'Escape The Fate's set starts soon! Catch ya later Oli!' she once again grabbed my wrist and ran towards the Shark stage where ETF would be playing. I pulled against her grasp making her stop in confusion.

'What's wrong?'

'Craig still hates me remember? I don't think it's a very good idea to go to his set,' I explained to her. A look crossed her face that I couldn't quite recognise.

'I'll talk to him. Come on,' she lead me the rest of the way as I grew nervous. He's going to lose it. Once Craig had come into sight she let go and quickly scurried over to him. He definitely saw me because the look on his face told me to run.

And run I did.
