fourteen ; not-so-suprise visit

mia sighs a bit from where she's sitting in the desk chair in the lecture hall. it's her last class of the week and right after it she's driving with jenna to go see tyler and josh in new york.

her phone buzzes in her back pocket and when she discretely takes it out, she sees that there's a new text from josh in the group chat.

yoshua💕 : when are you guys leaving?

👑princess mia👑 : as soon as i get out of class u goober

yoshua💕 : but plz don't

jmoney💅🏽 : *insert kim k voice* DON'T BE FUCKING RUDE

👑princess mia👑 : omg i'm done with you people

she puts her phone flat on the desk and tries to pay attention to her sociology class, which would've been one of her favorites if she wasn't already checked out. all she was thinking about was the fact that she was seeing josh.

at the end of the hour, mia grabs her things and practically runs to her car that's parked a good walk's down. she drives back to the apartment complex and texts jenna from the car.

mia💁🏻 : i'm here loser

it's about a five minute wait for jenna to come down out of the building with her bags and an excited smile on her face. mia can't tell if she's more excited to be doing another mini-rode trip or to be seeing tyler.

so after they stop at the rental car place and get everything finalized, the two girls start the drive to upstate new york.

"d'you think we should text them so they know we're on the way?" asks mia, glancing away from the rode to look at jenna, who's getting the directions for her on her phone.

the blonde girl grins, "nah, we'll let them figure it out."

yoshua💕 : did you leave yet?

yoshua💕 : how long till you get here?

yoshua💕 : you get out of class at noon and it's 4

yoshua💕 : i h8 u

yoshua💕 : jk

yoshua💕 : plz text me back:/

yoshua💕 : i hope you're driving and that's why you're not replying

yoshua💕 : omg BABE

yoshua💕 : you're not getting any kisses

yoshua💕 : none whatsoever

yoshua💕 : negative kisses

yoshua💕 : fuck ok you can have kisses

yoshua💕 : we go on in 15

yoshua💕 : pretty sure we're playing your song

they get to the venue about three songs into the guys's set. mia checks all her messages from josh and she feels a little bit guilty, but also thoroughly amused.

inside the huge arena, mia and jenna watch from the crowd. it's a sold out show so the place is packed. half way through lane boy, they decide to go watch the rest of the set from backstage and text mark to meet them over by the merch table.

once they're standing side stage, mia can see how totally into his playing josh is. it's her first time seeing them live and it's a whole other side to the cute boy that took her on dates to the abandoned hospital parking lot. he looks so happy on stage, banging the absolute shit out of his drums and feeding off of the energy of the crowd.

at one point in the show josh gets up from his drums and has his kit put on a platform held up by the crowd. when he's playing, it's like nothing else matters. all he thinks about is his drums and hitting the right beats to match tyler's singing. somethings different about his playing tonight, though, because while he's focusing on playing he's also wondering on whether or not mia's coming. her lack of texts back to his multitude of them sort of makes him feel like she's ignoring him or something.

with a broad grin on his face, josh's eyes sweep over the crowd and he tosses his drumsticks out randomly before turning around to get down from the small platform with the help of one of the security guards. as he's climbing back onto the stage he sticks his tongue out at tyler and then his eyes catch something behind him, and then he sees mia.

she meets his eyes and a shy grin tugs at her lips. mouthing a 'hi', mia waves at him.

if josh wasn't smiling before, he definitely is now. he completely forgets about the time that he has a show to finish and he runs across the stage and crashes into the pretty black haired girl, hugging the life out of her.

"you're the friggin' worst," he laughs as relief sweeps over him now that she's there and he doesn't have to worry about her showing up.

mia puts her hands on his shoulders and pulls back a little so that she can look at his smiling face. "well excuse me for wanting to surprise you."

he tilts his head a bit, thoroughly amused. "but i did know you were coming?"

"yeah, but not when," she clarifies.

josh rolls his eyes at her. "mhm, yeah, whatever. i gotta finish, but i expect a proper hello kiss after the show," he tells her, matter-of-a-factly before he jogs back onto the stage and sits down at his drums.

he finishes the rest of the show with a renewed energy and a huge grin on his face.
