Trust, Love, and Lost Relations

Nonsense

Felicity's P.O.V

We were all sitting in the living room, when Katrish and Liam walked downstairs, hand in hand. I could feel a smile take over my face. These two needed to be happy. It was like an unwritten law or something.

Just then there was a knock on the door. I got up to answer it, and seen Cadence standing there. "Hey," I said smiling at him.

"Hey," he said back. I stepped aside to let him in and closed the door. I walked him back to the living room and he said hi to everyone. Most of them gave him small waves, but Niall just grabbed my waist and sat me down on his lap.

I sighed and pecked his lips. "Relax," I whispered to him. "You're my boyfriend, and Cadence is just a friend. I have no feelings whatsoever for him," I whispered again, when he didn't relax.

Cadence walked in and sat down. You could feel the tension in the air as soon as he walked into the room. I kind of just sat there awkwardly, waiting for someone to say something.

"Why is he here?" Chris asked with attitude.

"Because he's my best friend," I sassed him, angry, "there's no need to be rude. And that goes for all of you," I said, looking around at all of them.

"Cadence is a guest, and you're all being rude," I told them. I was shocked at how rude they were all being.

"Oh, so he's your best friend, is he?" He asked me rudely.

"Yes," I told him, "he's just as much of a best friend as you or Lexi, or Katrish."

"Is he? Is he really?" He asked, apparently not believing me.

"Yes," I told him, confused.
"Then I guess I'm not wanted here," he said, storming out of the house.

"What just happened?" I asked everyone who was still here.

"I think he's jealous, love," Niall told me, rubbing my thigh reassuringly. And probably to be sure Cadence knew that I was his. It was kind of cute, actually. Why is everyone so jealous lately? I asked myself.

"Jealous?" I asked, "jealous of what?"

"Of me," Cadence said. Apparently everyone is just going to be jealous of Cadence. What the hell?

"Of you? Why?"
"I think he feels like he's being replaced."
"Why would he think that?"
"Because up until now, he was the only guy friend you had."
"So?"
"So, he doesn't know whether you'll still wanna be his friend if you've got me."

"But that's ridiculous, i'm gonna go cal-"
"Maybe you shouldn't," Lexi interrupted.
"What, why not?" I asked her.
"Because we all know how Chris is."
"What do you mean?"

"It's better if you give him his space. If you don't, he'll probably get annoyed." I nodded at her. She was right.

"So, what do we want to do?" Katrish asked, trying to break the awkward tension.

"We should bake!" Niall said excitedly. I thought about it for a moment.

"Ok, but first I have a question for all of you," I said, directing it at the boys. They all looked back at me, "how long are you going to be staying here?" I asked them. "Just so I know. Because I need to know how much food to buy, and how much other grocery stuff I'll need and all that boring stuff."

A thoughtful look appeared on Liam's face. He seemed to be going through important dates in his head. "Um, would you be ok with us staying for about two weeks?" He asked finally. "Our tour starts then, and it's probably better to just stay here. We could spend more time together before we leave."
