When I Text You, It Means I Miss You

You're in the Band?

Heeeeeyyyyy Peeeetttteeeeyyyyyy :)

Yes Patrick? Also petey that's new :P

I'm just REALLY EXCITED! 

How come?? What happened?? OOhhhh the suspense is killing me 

Guess who's officially fully moved into their apartment?!?!?!?!?!! :D

Patrick you moved in 2 weeks ago. It took you that long to unpack?

What? I'm slow.....and lazy :)

REALLY slow and REALLY lazy

Hey there mister that's not nice 

Woah woah woah Patrick. Watch your language 

Shut up Pete :P 

So how is the new apartment?

It's really great. I haven't had my own space in awhile so it's nice. I EVEN HAVE A MUSIC STUDIO WHERE I CAN WRITE AHHHHHH

Hahahaha that's awesome Patrick. I'm really happy for you :)

Awww thanks Pete. I mean it's really all thanks to you. I think I would still be stuck in that awful situation if it weren't for you. 

Oh Patrick of course. You're my friend and I would do anything for you. 

You're a really great person you know that? 

You're a really great person too :)

Oh Pete!!!!

What?!?!?!

You should totally come over sometime!

Oh yeah! I would love to!

You busy right now?

Oh you want me to come now. Like right now?

Yes. Is that a problem?

No. I just...it's very sudden

Oh sorry. I'm just...I'm really excited..but I get if you don't want to come...

No Patrick no. I'm really glad you're excited as you should be and I would love to come over. I was just caught a little off guard. 

Okay great! See you soon! Oh also my friend Joe is here. I think you guys will get along :D 

Oh...okay..see you soon

Pete's POV

Oh god. Oh my god. 

He wants me to meet one of his friends! 

Oh man oh no. I am not good with other people. I spend about a good 20 minutes pacing up and down my living room going through every worst case scenario.

You show up and they just make fun of you and laugh at you

You accidentally punch him in the face

You say really offensive things

They hate you

They're actually dating and are gonna rub it in your face 

Pete you're being ridiculous. None of those things are going to happen. It's going to be fine. You'll get to see Patrick's new apartment. 

At the mere mention of Patrick you can't help but smile. Wow you got it bad. 

I grab my things and head out the door. Time to go be social and hopefully not embarrass myself. 

As soon as I pulled up to his apartment complex the anxiety gets kicked up a notch. Oh man maybe I should just go home. 

But I suck it up cause it means I get to see Patrick and god knows after meeting him just once, I want to spend as much time as I can with him. 

I knock on his door and it swings open to reveal a beautiful Patrick in jeans and a cardigan. Gosh he's so pretty even in just that. 

"Hey Pete!" and he lunges for a hug which throws me off a bit. 

"Oh..hey Patrick." I say a little concerned. A look of realization passes over his face and he lets go of me. 

"Oh...s-sorry. I just..I missed you." He says with an  red cheeks. 

I chuckle, "Awww I missed my Pattycakes too!" I reach and pinch one of his red cheeks which just makes him blush more. 

He smacks my hand away as he says, "Quit it Pete!"

"Yo, are you guys just gonna keep flirting or I am gonna have to introduce myself?" A voice comes from inside Patrick's apartment. We both turn bright red. 

"Uhhhh...yeah..why don't you come in?" Patrick says as he gestures to the open door. I follow behind him and are greeted with a tall guy with a familiar head of curly hair. 

"Ohhh..when you said Pete you meant Pete Wentz." Now I remember why he's familiar. 

"Oh dude Joe! I haven't seen you in forever!" I say as I walk over and high five him. 

"Yeah I know right. How have you been? What are you up to now?" As we start conversing and catching up with each other Patrick decides to step in. 

"Ummm..guys...How you two even know each other?" He says with a look of confusion on his face. 

Joe and I glance at each other and smile. 

"Oh we were in the same band for a bit." 

"Yeah, well more like one tour but yeah. I stepped in for their bassist for a bit." 

Patrick's eyes go wide, "Wait...you guys were in...Arma Angelus together?" 

Now it's my turn for my eyes to go wide, "You....know...about my band?" 

"Yeah..I'm a...I'm a big fan..." He says sheepishly while rubbing the back of his neck. 

My jaw drops. Patrick Stump is a fan of the band I used to be in. 

"Oh that's right!" Joe exclaims. "Patrick you had a major cr-" He's immediately interrupted by Patrick

"Hahahaha very funny Joe!" I chuckle and decide to let it go. Patrick turns to me blushing  and says "What did you play in the band?" 

"Oh...actually I was the vocalist for the band." 

His eyes go wide again and Joe starts chuckling. I look at them bewildered, "What? What? I don't understand."

"N-n-nothing...I just...You don't....you don't look the same anymore....I..uhh..didn't recognize you." 

I smile and laugh a little, "Oh yeah. Decided to cut the emo hair and stop wearing the guyliner once the band kinda ended." 

"Oh...well..I think you look great either way." he says as he flashes me the prettiest smile. 

And I can't help but scream on the inside because I think

Patrick Stump just flirted with me.
