Hey all. I decided to skip a few months ahead in the story so I could get to the good stuff. Enjoy!

Chapter Six
Hayley's POV
*3 months later*
"I'm going to call him again." I announced to everyone.
"Hayley no." Zac said.
"Why not? He's 15 minutes late for practice and I can't even call him?"
"I think you've called him 100 times already!"
"I'm just mad, ok? This new ablum we're working on means a lot to me, and it should to him, too. But he never answers my calls anymore, he rarely shows up to record. Ever since Jenna and him got more serious, he is never around. It's like he doesn't even care about us!"
"Calm down."
I took a deep breathe, calming my breathing. "It's true."
"It's not true!" Zac began to get defensive of his brother.
"Yes! It is ever since Josh and Jenna started dating he's never around! At first he was, but not anymore."
He pulled me over to the side, so that Jeremy and Taylor wouldn't hear us.
"Is this really just about him not showing up to record?" He whispered.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I hissed.
"It sounds to me that your jealous of Jenna."
"Don't be ridiculous. I'm with Chad."
"But you love Josh, righ?"
"Of course I do. I always will." I whispered.
"If you love him why'd you tell him you didn't? Why are you with Chad?"
Ah the power of guilt. "I - I don't know."
Josh's POV
I shut my door, and walked over to check my messages.
*54 new messages*
I pushed the play button.
This is Hayley...
It's me again. Hayley....
Josh it's me, Hayley, um call me when you get in...
I listened as all 54 messages turned out to be Hayley.
"Hello?" Her voice said after a few rings.
"Hey It's Josh."
"Oh hey."
"Hey." I smiled.
"WHERE THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN?!" She shouted.
I nearly threw the phone across the room.
"Ouch! Could you please not scream in my ear again?!"
"Oops my bad." The sarcasm in her tone was easily read.
"What's wrong?"
"We had practice today. Ya know, as a band. Only a certain guitar player skipped out on us."
"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry Hayles. I kind of forgot. Jenna and I were hanging out at her house, and I just kind of forgot."
"Well...you're still coming to dinner to celebrate on getting nominated for a grammy?"
"Of course."
"I'll see you tonight then."
"Ok. Wait does this mean you aren't mad anymore?"
"Maybe." She giggled and I knew I was forgiven.
"Bye Hayles."
"Bye."
I glanced over to the clock. 7:33. Better get ready.
Hayley's POV
"Hey guys." I said finally reaching our table.
They all stared at me as if I was crazy.
"Oh come on, I don't look that bad do I?"
"No, that's not why we were staring." Taylor assured me.
"Yeah, Hayley you look amazing." Jeremy said.
I looked down and blushed. "Thanks. Now don't you all look dashing in those suits of yours."
"Peguin suits." I heard Zac murmur.
I took a seat next to Taylor. "Where's Josh?"
"He's late."
"Again." I sighed.
*10 mins later*
"Hey sorry we're late I just -," Josh said walking up to our table. I saw his arm wrapped around Jenna and suddenly I was seeing red.
"Save it!" I screamed. I ran out of the restaraunt and down the road.
Nothing mattered to me. Not the ice cold rain soaking my dress, not the mud covering my feet, nothing. I needed to get away. To clear my head.
"Wait!" Joshs voice called from behind me.
"Why should I?" I gave up dropping to my knees. Tears fell from my eyes.
He caught up and sat down beside me. "Because I want to know what your problem is."
"My problem is that everytime I see you with Jenna I feel hurt inside. My problem is that I'm with Chad, but I don't care for him half as much as I do for you. My problem is I love you, and as hard as I try to forget, I just can't!"
I was shocked when he crashed his lips to mine.
