Caspar POV

'Uuughhhhhhh Why the heck do hangovers even happen' I groan into my pillow. The clock reads eleven so I've slept for about seven hours. I can hear Oli snoring even though he's sleeping in Joe's room next door, so there's not going to be any getting back to sleep for me. I force myself to shower and dress and, feeling a little more awake, I go down into the kitchen. The girls are hanging around making smoothies.
"Hi Cas." Smiles Zoe, standing on her tip-toes and ruffling my hair as she walks past. "Want a smoothie? It's raspberry and banana."
I decline, and instead open one of the boxes stacked on the counter and help myself to a large slice of leftover pepperoni, laughing at the chorus of Ewwwws.
"Eww Caspar that was the pile for the bin!" Shrieks Niomi.
"More like breakfast for us lads" Says Marcus as he appears in the doorway. He gives Niomi a quick kiss before helping himself to pizza. "Rest of them still asleep?" He asks me
"Yeah, and I've only just got up. Looks like you were up at eight and straight off the the gym?"
"Seven actually" he laughs. The lucky dick never gets hangovers.
We spend the next few hours just chilling out inside. Oli leaves st around twelve, and Alfie and Jim surface not too long after that. Once all the leftover food is polished off, Zoe and Louise head out to find a park for Darcy. The rest of us watch some footie for a while but I'm conscious Joe isn't up yet. He must have had a good night. From what I saw he did. I decide to check up on him.

"Hey Joeeeee" I grin, pushing his door open. He's on his Laptop, sitting on the bed with a facial expression like he's been forced to listen to the Frozen soundtrack on loop. "Has someone got a hangover?"
"Ugh Caspar I'm not in the mood." he groans in response.
"Aw come on Joe, tell me all about it!"
"About what Caspar?"
"Y'know, you and Lydia."
"Ugh, what are you on about? I can't remember anything that happened after I to..er..after I..I got in the pool."
"Oh right...well you and Lydia were getting pretty flirty and you both headed upstairs together. I don't know what happened after"
"Oh shit mate, shit. Why would I do that, I was hammered. Oh my god."
Crap. He's got himself so worked up.
"Joe mate, are you alright?"
"Caspar I'm a mess. I've ruined everything. It's all so perfect here and it's like I'm just trying to wreck it. And now this with Lydia, why would I do this to her. I don't even like her. And to Jim, he's my mate. I'm ruining everything!"
"You haven't done anything, Joe. Even if you slept with Lydia, it's not even that bad." I try to calm him down. God knows what Jim has to do with this.
"It's not that though. I've done something else." He's nearly shouting now. "I'm in love with Tanya, okay. There I said it. I'm in love with her."
