The Emo Girl and the Lying Bad Boy

Poor Joshie

*JOSH LUNDERSBURG*

I'll kill him. I'll rip him apart limb by limb and hit him with each of them. I'll- Ava moves and I look up.

"Hey Aves, are you awake?" I ask softly.

"Yeah." She mumbles back in response. I let our a sigh of relief. Good. She's finally up. "What happened?" She asks sitting up slowly while holding her head. 

"You got really drunk..." I start. Ava gives me a look of horror. 

"Oh god, what did I do?" She asks worriedly. I scratch the back of my neck.

"Nothing too bad.." 

"Joshua, what did I do?" Now, I can tell she really wants to know. I sigh and run my fingers through my hair.

"You kind of...started doing a little dance.." I trail off, hoping upon hope she'll leave it at that. She frowns.

"What kind of dance, Josh?" 

"A strip dance...." I mumble.

"A WHAT?!" Ava practically yells in my ear. I nod and she slumps back into her pillows. She hides her face in one of them and starts talking. "How much did I take off?" 

"Just your shirt. Nathan pulled you off the stage." At the mention of him she sits upright. 

"He did?" I nod.

"He was supposed to be with Maya." She states quietly.

"I know." I stay calm even though I want to rip his throat out at the thought of him touching Ava.

"Aves, I don't want you around him anymore." She looks up and glares at me.

"You know the only reason I'm around him is because I made a deal with him." She snaps at me and I put my head down. It stays quiet for awhile. Then, she gets up and tells me she's going to shower and to stay there.

"I love you, Joshie. Don't be mad." She smiles faintly and I nod as she walks into her bathroom.

"I love you too Ava, just more." I whisper into thin air.

*MAYA WRITINGSBURG*

He's perfect for me. How does he not see that? He makes me smile and laugh. I've never really had friends before, better yet a boyfriend. I wish he was my boyfriend, though. I think this as I listen to the song, "Stupid" by Rihanna in the shower. 

I get out, get dressed and then apply a little lip gloss. I'm going over to his house today. He said he had to speak to me. I want to look my best. I check myself over in the mirror. I'm wearing a purple mini-skirt, a white tank top with a black leather jacket over it, my hair down and curled, and black All Star converse. Good. I think. 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I get to his house and he opens the door, giving me a warm smile. 

"Hey, Maya."

I smile. "Hey, Bryce."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

*AVA CLAIRE*

I'm in a towel while blow drying my hair when Josh walks in. "Hey." He says, sitting down on the toilet after closing the door.

"Hey." I reply, finally brushing through my thick, long, black locks of hair. I turn and look at him. "What's up?" He doesn't say anything instead, he just hands me my phone. I look at the screen. 4 missed calls and 2 texts from Nate. I check my voicemail first.

"Hey, Ava. It's Nate...well nevermind, I guess you already knew that. I just wanted to make sure you were okay after last night..and um, do you think we could talk? Well, yeah..as I said was just checking in on you. Okay. Um. Yeah. Call me back." I listen to the first one then click to the second.

"Hey, it's Nate again. Sorry for calling, just haven't heard back from you yet. Oh, and I found some clothes from my older sister that I thought you might like. But yeah. Again. Call me back. Uh, bye." I laugh at how awkward he's being. Josh gives me a weird look. I listen to the third one.

"So, I know this is probably getting old. You know, the whole leaving a bunch of voicemail things," I raise an eyebrow at that. Voicemail things? I shake my head and continue listening "well, I started to wonder if maybe you wanted to grab a bite to eat? I mean..uh, it's cool if not. Anyways. Bye, yet again." I start biting my nails while I click for the last one to play.

"Hey, Aves..it's me again.." he sounds like he's been crying "um..I really need to talk to you. It's important...bye." I sigh and click out of my voicemail.

"What's wrong?" I hear Josh ask. I shake my head in response then check my texts. 

Nate: Hey, just checking up on you.

Nate: Hey, did you get my messages? Sorry, for so many.

I reply.

Me: Yea, I got em. Sure, we can go grab something. Just come pick me up here soon. :)

I look up from my phone to find Joshie staring at me. He raises an eyebrow as if to ask, "What's going on?".

I shuffle my feet. "So, Nate is going to come pick me up and we're going to grab a bite to eat. He wants to talk to me about something." He nods and walks out into my bedroom, going through my closet. I follow him and he already has an outfit set for me on my bed. I smile. "Thanks, Joshie." I go over and kiss him on the cheek then get dressed. he picked out my All Time Low band t-shirt, some black leggings, and my combat boots. I go over to my mirror and apply a little makeup. I don't even know why I'm trying to look good. Oh well. I throw on my beanie , then I'm finally ready.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I walk downstairs to the kitchen to grab a glass of milk before Nate gets there. I have to take my meds. I hear voices coming from the living room so I peek in there. Bryce is sitting on the couch facing someone. No, kissing someone. Oh, well that doesn't matter too much. Just as I'm about to turn around I hear a familiar voice.

"You're such a good kisser, Bryce." I look over and see that it's...it's Maya? No, that can't be. She has to hook up with Nate! I know, this is selfish of me, but I really need help on my SAT's. That, and she belongs with Josh. This can't happen.

I'm about to step in and say something when someone honks from outside. It's Nate. I walk out the door and get in his car, but all I can think is- poor Joshie.

Alright, so I really hope you like this chapter! It's been awhile since I've updated, but here you go! Love you lovelies! -Ally
