Fifteen: Coffee, tea, poison?

Caspars POV:

"You have one new message from today at 4:18pm." I held my phone against my ear, listening to the latest message from someone I call my friend, now even the Harries are having a go at me, not that they're the first ones.

I began to think of the endless amounts of messages everyone's been sending me today, firstly there was Zoe whose messages consisted of yelling and abuse. Then Alfie who demanded the information and plan I had made for him, then Joe who wants to know what's happened and why I would do such a thing.

Now, there's only one person phoning me, an unknown number, either this is the call I've been hoping for, or its more abuse. I press the green button and place the phone back against my ear. "Hello?" I asked nervously, feeling my heart beat intensifying in case I'm right about who it is.

"Caspar, this is Ali. As in Ali the friend you betrayed and good luck getting your so called plan back. I never want to hear from you again." She sounded as if she was barely holding it together.

It's all my fault.

She hung up before I had the opportunity to explain, tell her the truth. The real truth not just what I wanted them to think.

All I wanted to do was tell the truth to them, let Ali know that the plan I made was fake. That I had only came up with that to please Alfie and get him to leave her alone, now I'm trapped and everyone hates me.

As I pace around my hotel room with my phone in my hand I cannot think of a logical solution, maybe it's best if I speak to everyone in person, I know that'll have the best chance of getting everyone back.

I dial my phone once again and call for a taxi to come to the hotel, I quickly change into something less pyjamaery and leave. After a short wait the taxi arrives and takes me away from my land of isolation.

Flashback:

"Come on Caspar, we've got to get going today's Ali's only few days off and I want to pay her a visit." Joe demanded of me as he put his coat on, I tried to seem like this wasn't bothering me in the slightest, but honestly I couldn't wait to see Ali.

How I've missed her.

As we got to the train station and got through the usual procedure Joe kept going on about what Ali's been doing, that she has been getting to work with penguins when she can and that the cats are amazing, and she had been so happy.

All of Joes talk on Ali did make me happy but there was a thought that remained stationary in my mind, what do we do about the Alfie thing?

"Oh and Zoe and Alfie are coming too so it's like a family gathering with two extras." Joe said and I snapped out of my thoughts, looks like this may be more complicated than I thought it would be.

How is Ali supposed to stay calm if he's there, and how can we talk about him if he, Zoe and Joe are all there at once?

Once we arrive the air smells different, more fresh which is probably true considering all of the traffic and everything there is in London, it's good to get away from it, and have a chance to see my favourite Sugg, but don't let Joe know that.

Joes phone rings and he picks it up straight away and leaves me standing there with the luggage for a minute, I can vaguely hear him having a conversation with someone and he looks happy.... Something's up.

Once Joe comes back over he takes his bag and leads the way to where Ali presumably is, as we walk down the few flights of cramped stairs we get out of the train station and are greeted by many many taxis and lots of people greeting everyone.
