the one you feed.

josh parks in his usual spot next to brendon's vehicle. the group smiles at him as he walks over.

"joshie!" brendon smiles. "you showed up."

"i did." he chuckles before his eyes catch the sight of the one and only, debby ryan.

in his group.

hanging out with his friends.

she looks up at him with a guilty face and offers a friendly smile. sarah looks to brendon for help, but he shoots her down with a shrug.

"what is she doing here?" josh asks, staring directly at her.

"listen," hayley sighs. "we talked it over and we think it would be best if the three of you could make up."

"what? you said we could hate them." josh furrows his eyebrows together, glaring at his ex once again. she doesn't say anything.

"josh..." brendon sighs. "i know pete fucked you over, but he's been our friend since, hell i don't know. second grade?"

josh groans. "yeah but then he screwed it all up." why is no one on his side?

"brendon and sarah have been hanging out more." jenna adds, nervously. "and sarah is my friend. debby is really sorry for what she did."

"yeah? then why can't she say that for herself?" josh replies, throwing his hands in the air. the attention turns to debby.

"i...i didn't think you'd let me." she whispers.

"well here's your chance. tell me how sorry you really are."

tears forms in her eyes. "josh... i am very, incredibly and deeply sorry for what i did."

"i'm sure you are. where's your boyfriend at, huh?"

brendon nudges him. "dude, that's enough."

josh doesn't even notice the tears running down her cheeks. she opens her mouth to speak but nothing comes out. sarah, jenna, ashley, and hayley all look anywhere but in his direction. are they scared of him?

"this is bullshit. i thought you guys were on my side."

pete finally walks over, snaking an arm around debby. "hey guys, what's-"

he stops mid-sentence as he notices josh. the group is silent.

"i never got to beat the shit out of you, yet." josh mumbles, feeling jealousy at the sight of his arm around debby.

"josh..." brendon stops him, shaking his head. "we only have a few months of school left before we graduate. and then it's bye-bye forever unless we don't want it to be. now as shitty as it is, just get along for these last few months, okay?"

josh crosses his arms, raising an eyebrow at his friend.

"and then, if you really want to, never talk to them again. okay?"

"we're standing right here, you know." pete grumbles, blowing a fat vape cloud as if he couldn't get more edgy. and not to mention, gay.

"i know. don't act like what you did doesn't matter." brendon sasses him. "if you did that to sarah, i'd fuck patrick stump as revenge."

pete sputters. "wh-what? why would that affect me in any way?"

the mood of the group cheers up a little, some laughs here and there.

"dude, you're definitely hitting that." brendon says. "it's obvious."

"i'm not gay!" he replies, his emo anger growing.
