James Marriott x WillNE

Confused

Will's POV

— 3 days later —

James left early that day. I guess I should have expected it but for some reason I didn't. And for some reason, I've spent the past three days trying to stop thinking about him, and the way his hair looks when he sleeps, and the sounds me makes when he's dreaming.

Like I said. I've been trying not to think about him.

I'm recording a video with Stephen today. He's one of my best friends and i've known him for almost a decade. Which is why when he looks at me right now, he knows i'm thinking of something that is troubling me.

"Earth to Will." He laughs and waves a hand in front of my face. I just grimace, side glancing at him before rubbing my hands up my face. How can I still feel hungover from one beer. Though, i'm not hungover. I just can't stop-

"What the hell..?" I hear Stephen mumble next to me. "I've literally never seen you be unable to stop zoning out like this before."

"Yeah." Is all I can say. He's right. I've never felt like this either. "I'm just tired." Its a bullshit response and he knows it. Obvious by the scoff he gives me.

"What's really wrong?"

I have to take a while to think about this. I actually have no idea what's wrong. Mostly what I want is to film this video and get it up before the next one with James so I have something else to focus on but it never works.

"James and I hung out." I shrug. It's such a common occurrence. We hang out all the time. "And I've felt weird since. I think I haven't slept well is all." All Stephen does is nod, which strikes me as weird. He always has something to say whether it's helpful or not, and I usually appreciate it because i'm not one for words. Instead he just changes the subject.

"Are you going to that party George invited you to?" For a second, I genuinely think Stephen has gone insane. But then I realise he's talking about George Clarke, and I guess yes I am. But I had forgotten about it. And I also forgot that James is going to be there. To be fair, it's not a party, but Stephen is a moron so. It's a hangout at a club. And James is only going because people like Stephen are going to be there who aren't drinking this time.

"Right. Yeah."

"You forgot."

"No." I say accusingly. Of course I fucking forgot. But i've had a lot on my mind. "No, no. I'll see you there. Let's film this video."

"Okay 3... 2... 1..."
