You're In Control Pressing Pause On My Heartbeat...

Part 12(b) - The big clean up.

*Max's POV*

I felt someone shaking me, I opened my eyes slightly to see a brown thing in front of my, my vision was a bit blurred from just waking up, it was only when I looked over at Jodie, I realised that I'd managed to fall asleep under the table, she helped me out from underneath and started a conversation

"So you and Charley?" she asked politely, I hadn't known Jodie for that long but I'd told her stuff previously and I knew she would be trust able,

"Erm, I don't actually know to be honest" I mumbled,

"What do you mean? You were both eating each others faces off yesterday?"

"Really?"

"Yep..."

"Oh, well I take it Tom told you about Zara?"

"Yeah, she sounds like a right bitch to be honest Max"

"Yeah, well we met up whilst Charlotte was in hospital, at first I was going to tell her to stay away, but then she said she missed me and missed her too, so I said we could try again, blah, blah, blah, we got back into a relationship and now she's trying to convince me to leave the band, controlling me again and telling me what's for the best." Jodie's face expression changed from happy to shocked, thing was, she knows more then Kirsten does now, I hadn't spoken to Kirsten since All Time Low was released a few weeks back until the other day,

"Max, leave her, I'm sorry but she's obviously not happy enough that you got into the band..."

"I know, I need to speak to Charley as well."

"What about?"

"Everything, I've sent her so many signals and last night didn't help" I sighed, she pulled me in for a hug,

"Everything will get better, but for now, tell Zara you want to meet and break it off with her, she isn't worth your time hun" she whispered in my ear, I backed away from the hug, pulling my phone from my pocket, telling Zara that I need to speak to her and I'll be round in 15, I looked down, I was still in my clothes from last night, I lent forward, and kissed Jodie on her right cheek,

"Thanks Jods, if Charley wakes up while I'm out could you tell her I need to speak to her please?" she nodded as I jogged out of the room, practically running through the living room, saying morning to Beth, Nathan, Em, Charlotte, Jade, Tom, Jay and Loty, I run up the stairs stubbing my toe in the process, swearing under my breath a bit and getting changed before heading to Zara's.

*Nathan's POV*

"I'm going out, be back soon!" Max shouted before we heard the front door slam. Jay, Loty, Beth, Em, Charlotte, Jade and I was sitting in the front room, Beth was being quiet, I heard her explaining to Em earlier that she was telling Siva everything, including the pregnancy, so she was nervous. Me and Jade haven't really spoken since the other night when Tom interrupted our near kiss, him and Charlotte were cuddled up ans kept looking over at us, Jade was blushing and I was sending death glares to them, causing them to giggle to each other, Em was typing away on her blackberry and Loty and Jay kept looking at each other, 

"How did I get into bed last night?" Jade asked, breaking the silence,

"Oh, you feel asleep in the sofa so Jodie came and told me to move you upstairs" I replied, smiling softly, remembering the way she snuggled into my chest and how I longed for her to be in my arms, she blushed and thanked me, I nodded and then turn the questions towards Jay.

"Jay where were you last night? You weren't home when I was awake?"

"Oh, Katy announced she was pregnant and I figured it wasn't mine but she still told me it was, then I just went to clear my mind for a little while" he sighed, eyeing up Loty in the process. Then my thoughts turned to Loty, she was out last night as well, Jade must of seen Jay eye up Loty and caught on because she asked Loty where she was last night,
