Can You Feel My Heart-10-

---OLI POV---

Throughout our whole relationship, Josh has been perfectly honest with me the whole time, although now I can tell something is happening.

It seems as though he himself doesn't even know what's happening. Whenever I managed to speak to him earlier all he did was give me sentences filled up with pauses to catch his breathe and he was flustered. I wanted to ask him what it was but whenever I asked he sounded as if he was perfectly fine again, just for a second or two, to cover up the reality of it all. A sudden trigger pulled in my mind, almost as if I had become a new person, as if I saw things in a different light.

Max, Chris and Dan.

My mind hadn't even brushed upon them until this very second whilst i am laying on my bed figuring out Josh's problem. And I was successful.

Reaching to my bedside table next to the huge double bed on my hotel room, I grabbed hold of my phone, typed in 0908 as Josh's birthday opened up my phone and I went straight to my contacts and clicked 'Dan Flint'

The moment the first ring sounded, I felt my skin crawl with hatred and shivers as I realised who I was calling.

The sound of the word
'Hello?' Coming from my phone as Dan answered filled me with fire. I wanted to scream at him, pour out my whole insides with emotion and fierceness.

'Oli?' Dan said, as my mind flicked back to how close Josh and Dan are, and the rest of them. Their friendship has always been their most prioritised thing in their band, and I know Josh would do anything for them to accept our decision.

'Um, yeah...hey Dan.' I replied, regretting my decision to call him in the first place.

'Why did you call me?' He answered with a dullness to his voice, indicating that he didn't want to be in this phone call one bit.

'Okay, so we both know that neither you, Max, or Chris really accept me and Josh's decisions, right?'

'I didn't wanna talk about this, Oli. It's not important.' He sounded as though he was getting more irritated by the second, and I could almost hear the sound of his gritted teeth as he did he best to end the conversation.

'It does to Josh, Dan. The one you have betrayed? The one you don't accept even though have never had anything against him or homosexuality before? Is that right? Well Josh cares about you. He loves you guys to pieces and I can see his heart breaking by the second.' I felt as though a weight have physically been lifted off my shoulder when each and every word escaped my lips.

For a while all I could hear was the rest of You Me At Six laughing in the background as Dan processed what I had said.

'One second, stay there, Oli.' He replied, pathetically.
Gradually the sound of voices disappeared and I heard footsteps outside my hotel room. The noise of general life disappeared and I looked at my phone and not used he had hung up. Before I have time to think about the conversation? I heard knocking at my door.

I stood up from my bed to open it, and as I got closer to the door I realised it wasn't Josh, it was Dan.

I opened the door and Dan came bursting in, hiding his face from my sight, suspiciously. He was distraught. As I walked over to my bed, expecting him to follow me and sit with me, I realised that Dan didn't quite know what to do with himself. With that, I sprung up, and walked to him, reaching out my arm in comfort.

Yes, he was being a dick to Josh, but he seemed so upset and I know that Josh would be okay with this. Many whimpers and sniffles came from Dan as he tried to compose himself but couldn't even catch his breathe properly.
