Adopted By Sleeping With Sirens

Chapter 19

Josh

I decided to take Marisol out for our one year anniversary so here we are celebrating together, just our time. It's around 11pm and she went to the bathroom a minute ago. I looked to my left and saw...Ashley? Backstory, Ashley was a longtime friend in high school.

"Ashley?" I asked her. "Josh?" she asked and we ran for a hug. I smiled and she smiled. "I missed you ya big dumb!" I said and gave her another bear hug. "I missed you too ya big dumb!" and we laughed. "How's it been going?" I asked. Me and her were pretty wasted. She kinda was all over to me, she was now near my chest. "Well. I have been kinda lost without you if I'm being honest" she said and played with my zipper. Me and her locked eyes and then leaned in. Without realizing, our lips touched. Ive known Ash for a long time and Ive been trying to have the urge to stop myself from wanting to kiss her but now, I am. And I enjoyed it. It was wrong but it felt right. I smiled. We hugged and danced slowly to the music. Forgetting my surroundings, I looked around and locked eyes with the person who I know I've hurt. I saw Marie standing there with tears. Oh shit. I forgot she was right there...

"Marie! Wait!" I said but she had already went out the door. Great Joshua.

Marisol

After going to the bathroom for only a couple of minutes, I didn't plan to walk out and find my boyfriend publicly cheating. I really wished I was really famous so paparazzi could take photos of them so they'd get bashed online. My level of anger and sadness had raised. This was suppose to be our anniversary but it's good I got to see where his other intentions were. I got to see more true colors of his. I didn't know where I was going but I was a mess. I decided to call Jack.

Rings

As I waited for somebody to pick up, I let the ringing echo in my head as I watched cars go by. "Hello Marisol?" Jack finally answered through the phone. "Jack where are you? Can you please pick me up at the bar downtown?" I literally sobbed. "I'm still here in Michigan. I was literally about to ask if you and Josh wanted to hangout? By the way, are you drunk?" he asked. "No. Well I had only a shot" I admitted and he said "Okay stay put, I am on my way. Make sure you're in a safe place. I dont want anything to happen to you" he said and hung up. I blinked and still had tears streaming down my face.

Pretty soon Josh approached me unexpectedly from behind. "Marie I am so sorry! Please, forgive me and we can go home right now" he said. "Leave me alone Josh! Never in my life did I ever think you would cheat!" I yelled at him. He looked so disappointed. "Please! I am so sorry Marie. I just—I just love her. You even know I've been friends with her for years!" he said. I shot a glare at him. "Then go! Leave! Go be with her! Why the hell did you have to tell me that if you wanted to get together again" I yelled and he didn't have any words to say. He just slowly turned around looking at the ground and walked back inside.

I shook my head and cried some more. Why am I being such a baby about this? I know I am way much stronger than this and deserve better. I took a deep breath and calmed down. I can't show my weakness. I need to be strong. I then walked around the sidewalk. There was a few drunk people around but I had my own back. I waited my the sidewalk for Jack.

A car pulled up, "Hey babe, jump in" said a guy. I looked at him. Just wow. Men really think. "You want to go to jail? Keep in mind that I'm a federal agent and you just said that. I'm going to have you step out of your car pl–" I was cut off because he immediately drove off. I smiled at how stupid that man was. I took out my phone and saw a message from my dad, "Marisol, we can work somethings out. Tomorrow meet me at the house?" said the text. I hesitated. "Yeah i will be there. btw sorry about earlier" i texted back to Kellin. I dont feel like his daughter anymore. Being 18 is a huge change. I have to live on my own, which is okay and fine.

A car slowly pulled up and I saw Jack. I got in and buckled my seat belt. "So what's going on?" he asked. "Josh chose his old high school friend over me" I said. "Wow. I am so sorry. I knew you didn't need him. He's just going to use you for something." Jack said. "But he didnt. He didn't use me Jack. He just fell in love with someone he's grown up with. That shouldn't be bad right?" I said. "No, not at all if you were out in the other girls perspective." Jack said. "Ah I don't know. I did feel hurt earlier, but I feel like me and Josh are sort of better off not together. I mean Ashley is pretty and her and Josh do match" I said and looked out the window. "Hey Marisol don't say that! Plus, you have Jalex in your life. Who needs a relationship when there's Jalex?" he said and we began to laugh. Jack can really turn a sad moment into a happy moment.

"Pick a CD. We will drive around, since Josh took you out and cheated, I will take you out and not cheat." he said. I froze. What did he mean by that? "Okay thanks pal" I said. I picked out a CD, it was their CD, The Party Scene. I smiled and sang along, well me and Jack.

Pretty soon Lullabies came on. Jack looked so upset and didn't say a word. It grew quiet so I took the CD out and played a different one. I played a CD from Tonight Alive, The Other Side. Good jams.

We hummed and lip sang together. Jack stopped the car and I looked around. We were at the beach on a dark night. I smiled. There was a full moon and it was quiet and lovely here. Jack opened my door which startled me because i was busy looking at the stars. It was beautiful.

"Sorry if I startled you in any way" he said as I got out. I then watched him grab a blanket or towel and we walked along the beach. He lied it down and we lied down and looked at the stars.

"This is the most triumphant view ever" I said. Josh looked at me and I could feel his gaze but my eyes were glued on the sky. "And why is that?" he asked. "Because of what happend a while ago. A storm it felt like, and now. It's peaceful, calm. It's a place of strength" I said smiling. "Marie" Jack said. I looked at him. "Jack" I mocked.

He leaned and I did as well, unexpectedly. We were a few inches away until I looked completely away. "Well. I'm getting kind of tired. Do you think I can crash at your place? I kind of live with Josh so.." I asked him. It was sort of awkward now. He looked into the distance like a lost puppy and nodded. "Of course, you're so welcomed at our house. One of us own a house up here and I don't even fucking remember who anymore. Because we play a show tomorrow, the band and Rian's and Alex's girlfriends is staying with us. One big family and you're welcomed" he said and I smiled.

[a/n btw Kellin's 32 years old now and Vic Fuentes is 33. Marie is 18 years old which makes Jack....Idk. Lets PRETEND he is 26 years old  He would actually be 31 years old in this but i want something good to happen between these two]

We got in the car after we packed and it was really awkward. We didnt say anything to each other. Why did I kiss Jack? Am I crushing, I dont know if I am.

Am I?
