JOHN THE GINGER BASTARD

GRAHAM'S POV

I was gutted.

When I'd found out Kat had a date, I was absolutely heartbroken. Yes, that does sound very very dramatic but it's just the truth. I'd finally gotten the courage to break up with Stephanie, and then the girl I love has found herself someone.

The world is a bastard.

The worst thing was that I hadn't seen her in ages. No one really had, which was odd as the room always felt quieter without her. Neve said she hadn't been at the flat much, and the only time the others saw her was at shoots. She was too wrapped up in John apparently. I just hoped she was happy.

I didn't like that she was neglecting us though, we're her best friends, always have been. Now she gets a boyfriend and suddenly we're not important? I don't fucking think so.

Something had to be wrong, didn't it? This wasn't our Kat. She wasn't the type to fuck off and leave Neve all alone in their flat. She just wasn't.

I'll bet you right now it has everything to do with that ginger-haired bastard.

I was going to ask her about it-that's if I ever fucking saw her again, the amount of time she's been spending with him.

We'd all planned to just watch a film and order pizza in Neve and Kat's flat, although I didn't think she'd be coming. I was rather excited for the night actually, maybe then we could talk about what was happening with Kat.

Neve had pizza after pizza laying on the floor, and she had crisps and every fucking sweet you could dream of in bowls around the room. She'd done a good job cleaning too, which was normally Kat's job.

Jess was snuggled into Damon-they'd somehow managed to become even closer since they'd decided to move in together. Brona was throwing popcorn at Dave's head whilst she shoved her fucking feet in my face. And Neve was sprawled out across Alex, letting him feed her like some weird fucking mother-baby bird relationship. I didn't enjoy the sight of it.

"I don't want to dampen the mood," I snapped everyone out of their conversations. "But there's someone very obviously missing."

"Don't even fuckin' start," Neve groaned, "I started talkin' to myself in the mirror today, I'm going mad without company." And she was, she really fucking was.

"Give her a break," Jess shook her head disapprovingly. "They've just started going out, everyone starts off like that at first-everyone be's inseparable."

"Everyone starts off like that my fuckin' hole! You and Damon have been going out for ages and he's still obsessed with you, the pervert!" Nice one Brona. Loved it.

"Right, shut up," I sighed. "Look, I'm just worried is all. We barely see her now."

"And I bet you're raging about that," Jess said, smirking up at me. The bitch.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.

Damon laughed, "it means you fancy her, Graham." And he was very much correct but why was he exposing me? I swear to fucking fuck.

Alex paid no mind to them as he ruffled Neve's hair (bestie goals). "I see where you're coming from. I miss her shouting in my ear."

"I'll shout in your ear right now," Neve spoke. And then all I could hear was high pitched fucking screaming. Poor Alex probably needed a hearing aid after that.

"Shush," Brona groaned. Something had been going on with her too, she seemed very guarded. She'd done something, no one had clicked onto it yet, but I would find out soon.

"Never mind, let's just not talk about it," I huffed. Couldn't we have a serious conversation in concern for our friend? Or were they all just too bloody childish?

Shortly Neve had stuck a film on and no one really watched it. Everyone was sucked up in their own conversations. Damon and Brona were fighting over a song lyric that he'd wrote, she said something along the lines of 'my dead fucking hamster could come up with that line, it's shite.' Dave, Jess, Alex and Neve were rambling on about Morrissey and whether he was a prick and all that. I however, was in my own bubble. I'd normally talk to Kat, but she wasn't here.

Speak of the fucking devil.

We're half way through the movie and who the fuck comes sauntering in? Kat and Ginger bastard, that's who. I wanted to lunge at him.

He walked in rather smugly, and I was sure everyone in the room wanted to drown him in his ego, as it was as fucking big as the Atlantic (xx), the twat.

"What time do you call this?" Neve mocked, pointing to their clock. "Bit late to be bringing her back, isn't it, John?" She was being a cheeky bitch holy fuck. But I didn't blame her, I'd be too.

"Hmm," he hummed, he looked fuming. "Just can't get enough of me so she can't. Don't blame her either, when she lives with you."

"Shut the fuck up," Alex pointed his finger at him, going into full defence mode. He was like that with the girls, didn't like people insulting them.

I could feel myself getting angrier and angrier and I tried not to explode on him, but he'd clocked me glaring at him.

John snarled at me, "you got something to say, specky?" Oh that dickhead.

"No, but apparently you've got plenty to say," I mumbled and Brona snickered. "There's no need for the aggression, just say your goodbyes and be on your way."

It's like I became a comedian in that moment, because suddenly everyone in the room was laughing. It wasn't even funny. According to Neve it was 'the way you said it!' Please, they all needed their heads checked.

"Not saying my goodbyes mate," he hissed, "she's just getting some clothes." Someone stop me before I strangle him.

"Are you serious?" Damon questioned-he was squeezing Jess' hand to stop himself from exploding.

"Just fuck off man," Brona told him, nearly throwing a slice of pizza at him, which was held back by Dave who told her to 'calm it'.

"Let's just go, Johnny," Kat whispered, pecking him on the side of the lips. "I'll see you all later."

And seeing her with him.

Well, it's like my heart broke in two really.
