Flat Mates-Part 1

Here is the deal: you have known James, Matt and Charlie for ages and they are like your best mates. You have been seeing for about 4 months and you really love him. Will that all change? Lets find out...

"...so will you come round and listen to it?" asked you. "Er..well I dunno. Your place is like a 30 sec walk from my place-its just so far away!" you giggled. He laughed too. "Yeah I'll come! B there in a min!" you replied. You both said bye and then put the phone down. A few minutes later you knocked at the door. While you waited for the door to open you found yourself wishing it was who was going to open it. You shook your head and forgot about your thought. The door swung open...it was ."Hellooo!" he said grinning. "Hey!" you giggled and hugged him. and were in the lounge but could see you both and they just laughed quietly to each other. You followed into the lounge. and were sat there on the black leather sofa that you were so jealous of. "Hiya babe!" said. "Hi darlin.." said. "Right we've done some lyrics for this new song. And we wanna know what you think of them k?" explained. "Yeah thats cool. Go on then!"

They performed the song. placed his hand on his guitar to stop the last chord. "So what dya think?" he asked."Well its good...but." you hesitated. "But what" said. "Well... its just missing... something. Your verses are cool but your bridge and chorus need some work. It just aint.. right.." you explained. They looked around at each other and agreed that their was something 'extra' that needed to be there. "Well can we have a play around with the lyrics later?.. Im hungry!" said. "But you've just eaten a Big Mac and fries!" and exclaimed. Everyone laughed. "Well Im hungry!" he said defending himself. "Well who's gonna cook? Us lot are crap!" said looking at the lads. You smiled. The lads looked at each other and a grin spread across each of their faces. "What?!" you said slightly nervous. Their heads turned to you and smiled. "Oh no..Im not doing it! I dont come here to cook!!" you said backing away. "Aaaww! C'mon . Your fab at cooking. Please?!" pleaded. "No!" you said standing your ground. put his arm around you and said "But ! We know you love us so please..." You laughed and said no again. You picked the TV remote up and flicked on the TV. You heard the lads whispering something but ignored them. Then came and sat next to you. "Hi!" he said. "Hi...again!" you replied. " I was wondering...if you would..please..make-no help us..to make something to eat..please!" he said slowly. You looked at him..his eyes so and deep, his face so meaningful and angelic. How could you say no to that.. "Well..erm. Only if Im not left to do it all-I am only helping you!" you said. "Thanx !" he said hugging you.

"So..what dya want?" you asked the lads. They shrugged. "God you're helpful aint ya?!" you laughed. "What about an omelette?" They all nodded. "Right then..where are the eggs?!" you asked them. Their faces were blank. "I take it you dont have any then...one of you will have to go get some. go to the shop!" "Aaaaww why me?" he moaned, but then he turned around and grabbed his wallet and keys and headed for the door. The door slammed and you set and into action. "Right- grab some peppers and tomatoes and ...clear the table!" They did what they were told. "Why is she ordering us about? It aint fair..!" whispered. "Yeah but she's cooking so...!" replied. He nodded and grinned. After all the peppers and tomatoes and been chopped and the table was clear they sat down. "Where has got to?!" said rubbing his rumbling belly. laughed. "He's probably stood in the shop daydreaming!" Everyone laughed knowing that he was probably right! "So how come you decided to cook for us..?" asked. "Yeah..cos we tried and failed but how come you agreed when asked you..?" continued. "Cos..I felt tight. You lot would starve to death without a good meal now and then.." you argued. "Hmm...wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you fancy would it?!" probed further. "What?!" you exclaimed. "No! I have a boyfriend remember. You know... !" you reminded them. "Hmm..yeah we remember. But it don't mean you cant fancy someone else. Which is lucky for you cos you obviously do!" said smiling. Just then the door swung open and walked in holding some eggs and a CD. "Just leave it will ya?" you whispered to and as you stood up, took the eggs from 's hand and made your way to the kitchen. "Hey look at this!" said excitedly as he made his way over to the sofa. "What is it?" asked. "Its a CD-special edition! I found it at the shop...how cool?!" he beamed. The lads laughed at his obsession. He rushed over to the stereo and placed the CD in the drawer. started to boom out of the speakers. sat on the sofa looking in awe at the CD case. You watched him read the inlay as you made the omelettes for the lads and smiled. What if and were right? Did you fancy ? How could you? You loved ..didnt you..? came bounding into the kitchen. "Is mine ready yet?" he said. His eyes lit up as he saw the pan. You giggled and nodded your head in the direction of a plate with a huge omelette in the middle. He grabbed the plate and a fork and got stuck into it.

About an hour later..

"What time is it?" asked. "Erm...just gone half 3-ooh we gotta go aint we?!" replied. "Oh yeah...that stupid interview with er...whats-his-name..." said sighing. "I'd better get going too! is gonna be home soon and I wanna be there when he gets there!" you told the lads standing up. They smirked. "What?!" you said smirking back. You all laughed. stood up and walked you out. "Thanx for coming round . Cya!" he said. You said 'bye' and walked out the door. As you walked down the corridor said "Bye!" again-he always did it. You giggled and turned around to say bye again. He was smiling...you loved his smile. It was so-Stop! You did-right in the middle of the corridor. "You ok?" he asked from the door. "Er..yeah. Yeah Im fine!" you insisted as you carried on walking. About a minute later you found yourself at the door to your flat. Your hand reached into your jean pocket for your key...but it wasnt there. "Shit!" you mumbled as you checked your other pockets but still no key. You knocked on the door hoping that was already there..but nothing. You let your head lean on the door as you thought about what to do. 'I cant go back to their flat cos they're going out. Maybe I should just wait for to get here?' you thought as you looked at your watch. 'Yeah..he said he'd be here for quarter to 4 so I'll just wait..' You waited. And waited some more...it was 4. You pulled your mobile out of your pocket and dialled his number. Straight to his answer phone. 'Great!' you mumbled. A lightbulb appeared over your head-an idea! 'I'll just head over to 's. She only lives about 10 minutes away.

'Knock, knock' you waited at the door. Nothing. 'What is this?! Where is everyone?' you thought slightly annoyed. Suddenly you remembered where kept her spare key. You found it and slid it into the slot and turned it. You walked into the flat and slumped on to the sofa. had told you that you could use the spare key if you was ever locked out. You sat watching T.V. for a while. About 10 minutes later you heard someone fumble at the door and then heard the door open. You stood up and walked to the door-your plan being to tell why you were there. What you found shocked you. Two people fell inside the flat, one was and the other was . They were wrapped around each other. "Oh my God!" you mumbled. They spun around and looked at you. "Oh my God!" you said again. "But...you.." you stuttered looking at . "You!" you said louder this time looking at . "Oh shit. this isnt..wait what are you doing here.." asked you. "I got locked out.." you said sternly looking straight at . ".." said as he went to put his hand on your shoulder. You pushed him away "Get off me..you creep! I cant believe it! I thought you loved me!" you said as your eyes began to well up. "And you...you're supposed to be my best friend! How...how could you do this to me?" you continued. "We were going to...going to tell you.." said. "Well dont bother-I know now dont I!" you cried pushing past them both. You stormed down the corridor of the flat tears streaming down your face. "! Wait!" called after you. You carried on walking. He caught up with you and pulled your arm to stop you. You jerked your arm away from him. "Piss off ! I dont wanna talk to you...NOT EVER!" you hissed. You carried on walking but realised you had nowhere to go. You didnt have your key...but did. You stopped knowing that you would have to talk to him to get your key back. You turned around and walked towards him. You saw his face light up as if you were going to forgive him. "Key!" you snapped once you got closer to him. "What?!" he asked puzzled. "My key-to my flat!" you repeated. "Oh..here!" he said fumbling in his pocket. He handed you the key and as he was about to say something you spun around and headed back towards your flat.

You turned the key in your door and walked into your flat. Normally in a situation like this you would ring for help but you couldnt-she was the one who had upset you so much. You sat there on your sofa crying. Thoughts ran through your head 'How long has this been happening? Why me? I thought he loved me.. She was my best friend...' After a while you realised that your cushion was soaked from your crying. You stood up and made your way into your bedroom where you got in bed and started to soak your pillow with your tears. You fell asleep...

You wandered around the flat looking for something. You spotted sat in the kitchen. "I havnt seen ?" he said. walked up to you while you were in the lounge. "I havnt seen either.." 'Why would it matter that they havnt seen ?' you thought. You found yourself in your bedroom and was there. "I've been looking for you !" he said. "Sit down" You sat down next to him on the bed. "Why? Why have you been looking for me? I was looking for something too.." you told him. "Yes..and you will find it..soon" he said looking straight into your eyes. You were confused. "What will I find?" you asked him. "You know!" he said calmly.

*Ring Ring* You jumped. You rubbed your eyes and looked up. *Ring Ring* You picked up your phone. "Hello..?" you answered sleepily. "Hey . Its .." came the voice. "Oh.." you replied faintly remembering your dream and what had happened at 's flat. "Just wondering if you wanted to come up and chill with us lot. We are playing ping pong!" he said excitedly. You laughed-you couldnt help it. "Er..no. Im er.. busy. Sorry." you said slowly. "Oh..okay then. Guess what happened when we went for that interview?" he said. "What?" you asked. As he told you your eyes fell on to a picture on your dresser. It was you...you and . A sudden feeling of anger and upset came over you. You dropped the phone picked up the picture and launched it at the wall. You collapsed on the bed again and started crying.

About 5 minutes later the door to your flat swung open. "! Are you here?" called. The lads had a spare key to your flat in case of emergencys. found you in the bedroom. "Oh God...whats wrong?!" he asked concerned. "She's in here!" he called to the others. and appeared in the room. You looked up at them all and giggled. They looked puzzled. "What?" asked. "You all look so worried... It's just me." you told them wiping tears from your eyes. "Dont be stupid..of course we are worried." said sitting next to you and putting his arm around you. "You're our best mate-we wanna help you when you need it" said smiling. "Now whats wrong?" he asked. They all sat there and listened while you told them what had happened. "Where is he? At her flat? I'll kill the twat!" said fuming heading for the door. pulled him back. "No you wont!" "No..you wont . is a twat but just leave him. I cant be bothered even knowing him anymore." you told him. "So you gonna come and watch some telly with us? Have a bit of a break from crying?!" said. You giggled. "Yeah.. just give us a sec yeah?" you told them. "Ok.." hugged you and then walked out followed by . sat down next to you. "Hey.." he said. "Hey.." you replied smiling wiping your face and moving your hair behind your ear. "You scared me for a minute there..on the phone." he said. "Yeah..sorry about that!" you said pointing at the smashed picture on the floor. "I just cant believe it...me and were perfect together. I finally thought Id found what I had been looking for.." you explained. "Maybe you have..." said. You looked at him.. 'What did he mean by that?' you thought. He smiled then walked out fo your room. You sat on your bed for a minute thinking about what he had said...and what he had said in your dream.
