Pel's POV:

Sam shakes me and I wake up suddenly.

"Pel..." He sighs. "Pel, you've been asleep all day."

My eyes open slowly and I take in my surroundings. I'm still crashing with Sam. I've been crashing with him for almost nine months now.

He hands me my glasses and I put them on and sit up.

"Just thank Ash's rehearsals..." I sigh.

Sam just gives an odd smile.

"Where's Cleo?" I ask, looking around.

"She went out with a few of her friends..." Sam says, walking to the kitchen which is behind us and grabbing two beers out of it.

He walks back up to me and hands me one. I say thank you but don't open it and he sits on the couch opposite me, switching on the television.

"She's probably getting drunk somewhere..." I laugh.

Sam raises an eyebrow.

"She's my girlfriend, she wouldn't do that..." Sam says back, firmly.

I roll my eyes. Cleo is Sam's girlfriend who I think is personally out of his league to be honest. She's half Italian, tall, blonde, tanned and a supermodel. Cleo Coole. Everyone knows who she is.

"Pel...." Sam sighs. "You need to move out of here....maybe that's why Cleo's always out. She doesn't feel comfortable with you here."

"Yeah, I know you guys need your privacy. And I appreciate you letting me stay here, Sam..." I say. "I've got a place and it will be ready soon-"

"How soon is soon?"

"Soon is like in next week. It'll just take a while to get my stuff there..." I sigh.

Sam smiles.

"I'll help you, bruv." He says.

I nod, now opening the can.

"So what are you doing tomorrow? It's Saturday and we're free from Danceworks." Sam says.

I shrug, taking a sip from the beer.

"Pel, you drink like a girl!" Sam laughs.

"Whatever...." I smile, pulling a stupid face.

There's a silence as Sam and I just stare at the television.

"Actually..." I whisper, before clearing my throat. "I'm going to go see if Amber will let me take Reid out for the day."

"Oh, that's cool..." Sam says.

Amber won over me in terms of children. She's still in our house, pregnant, with her friend Kate and step-sister Veronica. And Reid. I miss him so much and Amber rarely let's me take him out. The last time I tried to take him out, she claimed she wasn't comfortable with him coming to Sam's with Cleo and all her friends so this time, I'm taking him to my new flat. I even made a room for him. He's going to love it.

"I love how that's a sensitive subject now..." I mutter, breaking the ice a little bit.

"What...you and Amber?" Sam asks. "How is it between you two nowadays?"
