Bite My Tongue. (Josh Franceschi/You Me At Six Fanfic)

Million Dollar Smile.

Josh POV:

I walked out slamming the door behind me. I regret what I said, I did immediately after I had said it. I should go back.. She just lost the last of her family, and I basically told her I didn't want to see her again. Smart one Josh.

I can't go back though. Fuck! I never told her that I had to go on a date. I mean how could I? Its Saturday, which means that she's going to be out today, that's if she goes. I really want to go back, I want to see if she is okay. Im such a fucking prick!

I went back home, its only just turned 12, Im sure I can do something to pass the time. If I can take my mind away from what an absolute dickhead I am!

Charlie POV:

I could barely move, its like all of my emotions were all coming out at once. "Charlie..." I heard Max's soft voice behind me, "What are you doing here?" I didn't turn to face him though, I couldn't "its Saturday, we're supposed to be going to the cinema, are you alright?" Shit, I totally forgot about that. I wiped my face one last time pulling myself together "Oh yeah, give me half an hour, Im going to go for a quick shower" I faced him forcing a smile, he smiled back, but it was blatantly obvious that it was as sincere as mine was. "Make yourself at home!"

I went into the shower just letting the hot water run over me. Should I say sorry? Was I even in the wrong? I guess I could have been, I did start shouting first. I had a right to though.. I think, I should say sorry. Man, I need to stop thinking about Josh.

I got out of the shower wrapping my hair in a towel. I got dressed into black skinny jeans and a red Drop Dead tank top. I dried my hair and then straightened it. I applied a little foundation, some eyeliner and mascara before grabbing my navy converse and black zippy up jumper. I skipped downstairs, I didn't want to think about anything today. No more Josh, no Cassie, no jobs not even Dad or Gran. Today is just me and one of my good friends Max hanging out. I want to forget for a day.

"Maximus Hellyeah!!!" I jamp over the couch landing next to him "shall we leave?" He looked at me confused, but shook it off flashing me a million dollar smile. "Why of course m'lady, lunch first?" I nodded my head getting up and grabbing my keys "to Nando's!" We got into my car and started driving. I think Max guessed that I didn't want to talk about before so he kept quiet about it. Something I love about Max is that he will be there for you, but he'll wait until you're ready to talk about it.

We got out of the movies and even though it was day time and really light outside, I was still shitting bricks. Note to self; never watch Sinister again. "Good movie huh?" Max nudged my arm, obviously picking up the terrified expression I can imagine my face making right now. "Uh yeah, really good in fact!" I forced a smile as we made it to my car. "Talk shit! Your hands were practically covering your eyes the whole time!" He started laughing to himself mocking me at the same time. "Im Charlie, I act really tough but I can't watch paranormal films without covering my face" he tried to mock my accent while speaking in a girly voice.

"Real mature Maximus, real mature!" I watched as he laughed uncontrollably, a smile grew wider on my face as he caught his breath "Where to now Batman?" He squinted at me raising his eyebrows "Batman? I could get used to that! My house Robin!!" He pointed forward pulling a serious face.

The whole car journey to Max's we sang along to Kerrang radio. Mimicking guitars riffs as best as we could with our voices, it cost us a few weird glares from pedestrians but we didn't care. We were happy.

I couldn't help but have Josh buried in the back of my mind though. Was it wrong to want him to be here right now? "What are the rest of the guys doing today?" We got into his house and went straight to the kitchen "beer?" I nodded my head catching the beer that he tossed over to me "Dan is free as is Matt and Chris" we made our way to the living room after grabbing loads of snacks "and Josh?" I looked down remembering all the things I said. I took a drink of my beer as we sat down putting Fifa on.

"Josh is on a date" I swallowed my beer quickly before I spat it out "What!? Who with?" He shrugged his shoulders at me "some girl Elissa set him up with" Elissa.. I get along with her well and she's the only one who knows about my feelings for Josh, so why is she setting him up? I took my phone out to text her.

To: Elissa F. From Me.

'Max said you set Josh up on a date? x'

To: Me. From: Elissa F.

'Yeah.. He told me about your Gran, Im so sorry! You should come round later so we can talk x'

To: Elissa F. From: Me.

'Its okay, who is he going on a date with!? Im at Max's you should pop round. I don't really want to bump into Josh x'

To: Me. From: Elissa F.

'On my way ;) We can talk when I get there x'

I put my phone away taking the x-box controller off the table "I can do one game Batman, Elissa is coming round. Prepare to be beating by Robin!" I winked at him as we started. After I whipped Max at Fifa and having to hear him say 'fuck' repeatedly I went into the kitchen for more beers. "Maximus and Charles, Elissa the great has arrived. Bow down to me peasants!" She walked into the kitchen holding her head up high "wow, you really need to get out more Lissa" I sniggered as she sat at the breakfast bar.

Max took his beer into the living room while I sat across from Elissa. "So... Who's the girl?" I raised my eyebrows but tried to look like I was just being nosy and not jealous.. Cause Im not. "Just a girl that my friend, Amber knows. She told me that she's had a crush on Josh so I set them up. What harm can it do?" What harm can it do!? What a stupid question! "None at all" I swirled around looking for food in the cupboards "oh, did I mention that you're the reason I set him up too?"

I immediately faced her with what was probably a really confused facial expression. "What why?" I tilted my head at her and she just shrugged and walked off "hey!! Lissa why?" She faced me again meeting my desperate eyes "because I know about earlier and I know how you feel. You need to tell him and he has the right to know" Josh must have told her about the argument before "that doesn't explain why you set him up" she nodded her head at me looking deep into my eyes.

"It gives you less time to tell him. You never know he might end up liking her."
