Josh’s POV

“Josh.” She whispers looking up at me. I couldn’t believe it, I couldn’t believe she was here…I hadn’t seen this girl in 8 years, the last time being her goodbye party back in England. What was she doing her.

“Rebecca oh my god.” I scream again smiling before pulling her into a hug. She lets off a little giggle before hugging her back.

“Hey Joshy.” She replies hugging me back.

“What are you doing here?” I question.

“I’m here working for AP magazine and with my boyfriend.” She replies sheepishly. Boyfriend…Oh shit.

“Who’s your boyfriend?” I ask confused.

“Alex.” She mumbles under her breath.

“As in Gaskarth? WAIT YOU’RE THE GIRL HES ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT.” I yell the last part causing her to cover my mouth with her hand.

“Yes, I guess I am and for the love of god Joshua please be quiet!” she mutters before removing her hand from my mouth.

“I’m sorry just, it’s a big shock, last time I saw you was 8 years ago.” I mumble dumbfounded.

“I know.” She whispers quietly.

“Does Max know?” I question.

“Why does Max have anything to do with it?” she lies back. Typical, she’s always been like this.

“I think you know why.” I reply back staring at her.

“Josh the last time I spoke to him was the goodbye party, he never tried talking to me after I left, he said he cared about me and never wrote an email nor picked up the phone. The first year I moved was so hard and he wasn’t there.” She replies, tears in her eyes. I immediately feel guilty for bringing him up and angry at him for ignoring her. But I also felt angry with all of us…no one tried to speak or message her…no one.

“I’m sorry, we all abandoned you didn’t we.” I reply, pulling her into a hug.

“It’s fine…you were all busy.” She mumbles back, pulling out of the embrace and whipping her
eyes.

“Rebecca, I meant what I said before you left, he did and still does care about you and have feelings…he still keeps the picture of you two in his bunk.” I say running a hand through my hair.

“I don’t care Josh, he told me he would always be there but after I left I ended up being nothing, I am happy now, I am with Alex.” She replies crossing her arms.

“I know, I know…but still…god knows how hes gonna react when he finds out you’re here.” I mumble back quietly…but obviously not quiet enough because a look of panic flashes over her eyes.

“Josh you can’t let him know I am here….please Alex doesn’t know about the past and I’m guessing you guys are his friends…I don’t wanna cause problems and I don’t wanna face him, please don’t tell.” She exclaims, getting herself worked up.

“Beccz, you can’t hide forever…hes gonna find out you’re on this tour.” I reply giving her the look.

“I know okay, but give me time to explain to Alex everything…please can we just leave it till the time comes.” She pleads with me, giving me the puppy dog eyes knowing they would work.

“Fine, you win, you know I can’t defeat puppy eyes.” I mumble. “But what about me? I wanna catch up with you?” She thinks for a moment before speaking.

“Tomorrow, while my boys are at the signing we can go for a coffee yeah? Its about 11am.” She asks smiling.

“Yeah, we don’t perform till 3pm so I can make up an excuse and sneak away.” I confirm smiling and nodding my head.

“Great, well text me where to meet you and I’ll see you tomorrow.” She replies holding out her phone, I enter my number and enter her number into my phone under the name
‘Thomas’ as Max snoops through my phone.

“Okay I better get going because Alex will worry where I am…see you tomorrow Josh.” She replies before hugging me and disappearing into the crowd.

I shout bye before walking towards the bus, thinking about everything that just happened.

There is a part of me that’s angry with myself because we were bastards to her and never spoke to her after she left…but I was more furious with Max. He told me he loved her, and me being her bestfriend I had warned him not to hurt her.

She told me how he had said he loved her before she left, how her eyes lit up when she spoke about it…and then he just ignored her…forgot about her as if she was no longer important. He had told me she said she didn’t want to speak to him anymore every time I
brought her up, when it was obvious now he just didn’t want to speak to her anymore…yet I don’t know why…

I soon realise I have stumbled on to my own empty bus, shrugging it off I went out back to sit in my bunk. Walking into the bunk area I come face to face with Max.

“Hey dude where you been?” he asks me smiling while putting a shirt on.

“Just out an about.” I mumble, pretending to yawn cause I am still a little angry at him to talk.

“Well the others made me stay behind to get you.” He replies spraying some cologne.

“Get me for what?” I ask confused.

“Pierce The Veil’s beginning of tour party…come on!” he replies smiling before walking into the front of the bus to wait for me.

Oh shit…Rebecca is going to be there.
