Neither of us had left the bed since the party. Which was two days ago. Well, of course we did to pee or pay the delivery guy. But most of the time we lay in each other's arms, or having passionate, rough and dirty sex. There was a knock at the door, but this time we weren't expecting anything.

"You get it, I got it the last time." Michael said, shoving me off the bed.

"Glad to know you care about me not getting hurt so much." I mumbled.

I pulled on my yoga pants and an over sized crop top, making my way to the door. I opened it to reveal Vic on the edge of tears.

"Dani left me for Pete. She said I was too childish and that she wanted someone more serious who would marry her. She took all of her things and said she didn't want me anywhere near her baby." he whimpered, finally letting out the tears. "I don't even know if it's mine or his. Maxxie I don't know what to do."

Before I could even process what I was doing, I pulled him in for a hug, kissing the top of my head. He may have screwed me over, but he was still one of my best friends, and he really needed someone right now. He gripped onto me, his body shaking as he sobbed. I held him back just as tight, whispering over and over that he'd be alright.

I froze as I saw Mike walk out of the bedroom in just his boxers. He locked eyes with me, not angrily, just to make sure I was alright. Fuck he was too good for me. I nodded in response, making Vic turn around to see what was going on. Mike stood there awkwardly, scratching the back of his neck.

"Hey bro, you gonna be okay?" he said, crossing his arms over his chest in an effort to cover himself up.

Vic just shrugged, sniffling a little.

"I didn't even think... I should have figured you would be here. I'll just go-" Vic stammered.

"No, I'm leaving. You stay. Max will calm you down. I'll go grab booze and invite the guys over." Michael interrupted. "Just don't try any funny business. Just because you're sad doesn't mean I won't beat you senseless."

Vic smiled slightly, nodding.

"I promise I won't try anything. We just need to all get smashed and drink the pain away." Vic replied, wiping the tears from his cheeks.

I gave him one more hug before walking over to Mike. I stood on my tip toes and kissed his lips softly, looking up at him as I pulled away.

"Thank you for being so good about this." I said.

"He's a fuck, but he's still my big bro. I gotta take care of him. And I know that you're the best person to help." Michael said, looking down at his feet. "Please don't cheat on me while I'm out, I don't think I could take it Max."

I picked up his chin, kissing him, just holding it as I felt his arms wrap around me. I pressed my forehead to his, smiling small.

"I don't want anyone other than you. Never think like that. We both know I could never be with him. Plus," I smirked, pulling on his bottom lip, "you are so much better in bed than him."

And that was all I needed to say to ease his doubt. He kissed me one last time before getting dressed and going out to grab the alcohol.

Hey guys,
I know I'm the worst person ever for not updating. But I do have good reason for not adding any chapters, and I'll be putting up two more after this, and hopefully more tomorrow. I had to work all of last week so I could have the weekend off to go to warped on Sunday. It was probably the best day of my entire life. I met we are the in crowd, neck deep, and real friends. They were all incredibly nice and Ben Barlow and I bonded over the shitty pop punk we're both into. Probably incorporating him into the story because while I always liked him, now I'm deeply in love with him. We took the cutest selfie ever.

OH ALSO, I met this Australian pop punk band called the city shakeup, and they were so incredibly awesome. Their music is really good and you should check them out!

this is me and Ben Barlow. it was a surprisingly unembarrasing photo of me, and we only took one. Feel free to follow me on insta, I post a lot of band things, and put up a bunch of photos from Warped.

Thanks for reading guys
