-Faith's Pov-

I sat in the passenger seat, next to Josh.

My backpack laid on my lap, and my phone in my hand, as I told Josh directions.

"Turn left here." I said, and Josh turned left.

He gently tapped his fingers on the wheel, as if he was nervous. "Josh, don't worry. It will be fine. Just chill." I said, reassuring him.

He kept his focus on the road, but answered my question. "Faith. Amy and Bella are going to be so mad at me for knowing that I was your bully, and mad at you for staying at the Sidemen house. Both ways, we will be on their bad side. And I don't want to be on Amy's parents bad side."

I shook my head softly, disagreeing. "I will convince them. And I don't think that they had heard of you other than from YouTube because Amy and Bella watch you guys."

"Who is their favorite?" He asked, curious.

I was unsure to answer. "Well, Bella really likes Vikk. And Amy really likes Simon. But other than that, they love you all the same."

A small smile went across his lips. "What about you?"

"Oh, turn right here." I said looking at my phone. The car took the turn, and I answered back. "I never really knew you guys had a channel. I found out the day I met Bella and Amy. Then a bunch of stuff happened, and I haven't gotten a chance on watching."

"Oh." He said, somewhat disappointed. "Well, if you had to choose based on the personality of all of us, when we are not bullying and being ourselves, who would you choose?"

I put my hand up to my chin, hoping it would making me think better. "Well, without a doubt you."

"Why me? After everything I did to you, you don't think there is someone better, like Harry, JJ, Tobi, or Ethan?" He said in disbelief.

"Josh, I have seen the real you, that day at the park with Caroline. You were having so much fun, and even genuinely smiling. Because you had an important piece of you, family."

I heard him gently sigh. "You noticed the fake smiles at school, didn't you?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yeah. But why dont you smile as often? What happened Josh?"

"Just a lot of family issues. It was the reason I did what I did to you. The pain piled up on me, and the only way I could live with it was anger."

"So, did you lose someone?" I asked him, softly.

He shook his head. "No, but it feels like I did."

I decided to stop answering questions from there. I looked back at my phone, seeing that there was one more turn and we would be arriving.

"Alright, last turn, and turn right." I said.

He stayed quite, I saw the big house, and his eyes grew.

I had a small smile, as he pulled up. I unbuckled my seatbelt.

I could see two faces looking out the main window and I could tell who they were, Amy and Bella.

"You ready?" He asked looking at me.

I sighed and opened the door, throwing my legs out the car and slinging my backpack on my back.

He lead the way, letting me interlock arms together until we got to the doorway.

I rang the doorbell, and Bella stood with a smile on her face. "Faith! Where have you been? Thank god you are alright!"

She embraced me in a tight hug, until he eyes laid on Josh. "Is this why? What the fuck did this douche say to you? Did he hurt you?"

Josh shook his head. "I did nothing to harm her. She just had a bit of trouble with a gang downtown, and I caused the trouble to come to a stop. She got knocked out by a gang member, and I took her to my place since she didn't have injuries that needed immediate medical attention and I kinda didn't know where you guys lived."

I agreed with his statement. "It is true. He isn't lying to you. He even told me he won't bully me anymore." I reassured.

Amy looked into the doorway, but I could tell she was listening in on the conversation.

"Why the sudden change in heart Bradley?"

He looked at me sincerely, with his lips making a small smile. "I care about her too much. I don't want her to get hurt, emotionally or physically. Seeing her in the alleyway, unconscious, it broke my heart."

I could help but blush at his affection. "Alright. Why don't you get back to the Sidemen house. You didn't record at all today!" I mentioned.

He nodded, and waved goodbye to us. "Bye! See you all on Monday!"

He walked out and drove his car away. Amy yanked on my good arm pulling me into the house.

"Alright. Was he lying?" Bella asked.

"Not at all. He is changing. Didn't you see it?" I reassured them again.

They both looked at each other, unsure. "It is just a bit hard after everything he done to you." Amy told me.

"Faith, we know you like him. Heck, in love with him. We don't want you to be blinded by him. He will drag you onto a train that leads you to nowhere and we just don't want you getting hurt." Bella agreed.

I stared at them in disbelief. "Why don't you believe me? I am 100% with you all with your dreams in becoming Mrs. Minter and Mrs. Barn, but why not support me?"

My voice grew heavier and louder with each word, my fingernails slowing clawing into my plams.

"Faith, chill. We don't need to you to make a mistake like this because we don't exactly know what to do when you break and what you will do. We don't want to risk anything." Bella calmly said.

"Well, until he does, I am still going to talk to him, no matter what you two have to say." I yelled in anger.

I pushed my way past Amy's relieved parents and marched up the steps to my room.

"I will do whatever I want." I whispered angerly.

÷Author's Note÷

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

So basically a lot of shit has gone down within the last few days. Parents wanted to divorce, I cried, my boyfriend met my parents, I lost my phone and can only use Internet for like an hour a day for a week, my friend is heartbroken and I have been trying to make him feel better, and yeah.

Several of the things in this chapter were things I told my friend after he got heartbroken, trying to tell him to stop liking a girl that lied to him several times just to mess with his heart.

Fun.

Well, if you guys did enjoy, leave me some feedback and see ya!
