"I'm Scared To Fall In Love With Someone, With Anyone."

Loneliness. Leon had never felt so lonely as he entered Pop's Diner. Everyone was mad at him, all his friends, even Rosalie. His parents were going to kill him, they loved Fangs and for him to break the boy, they'd not be happy.

He looked around the Diner and saw Josie sitting by herself. Surely she wouldn't mind if he joined her, right?

"Sup Josie." He sat down opposite her, sliding into the window seat. "Leon Walker, why are you sitting here? Shouldn't you be on a leash?" she teased causing him to chuckle.

"Yeah, everyone's pissed at me, so I thought I'd see my favourite Pussycat." "And why is everyone pissed at you?" Josie asked.

A loud sigh escaped his mouth as he looked at her. "I was screwing this guy, who happened to be best friends, no brothers with Rosalie's boyfriend. We agreed that it was a friends with benefit situation and nothing more, 'cause dating sucks. Anyway, he went and told me that he wants to go official, so I ended it and now everyone is treating me like I'm a plague. Sweet Pea even pinned me against the lockers. Rosalie won't talk-"

"Shut it Walker" Josie cut off the boy. He looked at her confused. "What? I was venting, I need someone to vent too."

"You're not in the wrong. You were straight up with the guy from the beginning. You told him it was just sex, yet he wanted more, that's his fault, not yours. Rose is probably pissed 'cause she's afraid she'll lose her boy. She'll calm down in a day or so" Josie told him.

Leon looked at the girl with a smile. It was strange how she was the only one who understood him, despite the fact the two weren't close.

"Are you dating anyone?" Leon asked curiously. Though it wasn't so much curious for himself, obviously not, but for Oscar, who had pointed out more than once he liked the Pussycat.

Josie scoffed. "Not a chance. I don't date, my love is music, nothing or nobody will get in my way."

Leon frowned as someone sat next to him, disturbing the interesting conversation with the Pussycat. A scoff escaped his mouth as he realised who it was, Archie Andrews.

"I'm brunching with my boy, Archie. What do you want? You're disturbing us" Josie said before Leon had the chance to.

Josie was just as annoyed that Archie interrupted their conversation. She liked Leon, she found him to be similar to her in so many ways.

"My dad is seconds away from running for mayor with the Lodges' support. And I don't want him to go through what your mom did. So I was thinking, maybe you could get your mom to talk to him. Even secretly" Archie said.

Josie let out a single, unimpressed chuckle. "Archie, my mom barely made it out of the mayor's office alive. If she lets slip even a whisper of what went down between her and the Lodges, there'd be hell to pay. She'll implicate herself in about a million ways."

"Yeah, I figured. But isn't there plenty of stuff your mom could say to my dad that would kill his buzz, without getting into the shady stuff?" Archie asked, trying to be as discreet as possible.

"Let me finish my lunch and my conversation, then I'll decide if I wish to help or not" Josie replied. Archie nodded his head before leaving the two friends alone.
