''How did the show go?'' I asked when Mark entered my room.

''Oh no, you're going to tell me whats going on. Don't change the subject'' He said sitting down on the sofa and patting the space beside him with his hand.

''The tension in that room today was unbelievable, I felt like my hair was going to fall out'' He joked, patting his head.  I laughed, I was glad he was here.

''Thing is...'' I began and walked over to where Mark was sitting and sat down. He was looking at me making me go on.

''Bascially'' I wasn't sure what to begin with. 

''So, thing is... basically Dan..'' 

''Ok, just tell me everything that has happened since the last time I saw you. I mean the last time I saw you, you were so happy and far from this... this mess you're in right now.'' 

''Eric and I are over.'' And actually saying that made me feel slightly better. like a huge weight was lifted off my chest.

''I see.'' Mark said, there was something about the way he said it that sounded like he knew this already. 

''He cheated, so that happened a few days ago.... and ever since that... Wow. I don't know how to say this.'' I cleared my throat and took a deep breath. I was going to tell him.

''I think I'm falling for Danny...' the moment I said that my heart began to sped up.  Mark's eyes widened and a smile began to form on his face.

''This... this is ... something... wow.'' This was the first time I saw Mark struggling with what to say.

''There is more...'' I added. Mark's eyebrows jumped up.

''This morning... I spoke to Ben about what was going on with Eric... I don't know how it happened, I wasn't planning it on happening... one thing led to another and I began kissing Ben. The worst part of all... Danny walked in on us.'' 

''Ah Jess!! ... you've got to be fuckin' kidding me.'' Mark stood up and put his hand on his forehead.

I didn't know what to do or say, I watched Mark as he stood there staring at the wall behind me.

''No wonder he was acting so weird today...'' He murmured, but loud enough so I could hear.

''what do you mean?''' I asked, feeling uneasy.

''Oh Jess...'' He looked at me and sat down. 

''I probably shouldn't say anythin' without Dan being here... but... fuck.'' 

I didn't know what to expect, a part of me somehow knew what was coming. I felt my face began to heat up. 

''Jess... you have no idea how Danny feels about you... I bet him seeing that must have killed him inside...'' He said it all so slowly. 

''You need to talk to him. Seriously, both of you need to tell each other how you feel!'' 

The blood in my veins stopped flowing.

''You're saying... that.. he..Dan,'' I took a deep breath ''likes me?'' somehow I found myself smiling. Mark noticed and smiled back.

''Likes? Jess, please, more like lov-'' 

''Jess, are you up yet?'' Glen was at the door. I sighed and got up. Was Mark about to say that Danny loved me?

Danny likes me. I was still grinning when I opened the door.

''Hey,'' he said when he walked in. He looked confused when he noticed Mark was there.

''Everything alright here?'' he asked looking from Mark to me.

''Yeah, everything is alright, Mark came here to talk, I needed someone to talk to...'' 

Glen nodded ''Cheers mate' he said and walked over to Mark and gave him a quick hug.

Even thought Glen and I didn't always get on, we cared about each other, after all, he was my family. 

''I'll see you tomorrow Jess'' Mark said after a moment ''and just tell Dan everything'' he said when he passed me. Loud enough so only I could hear. 

I smiled, my heart stuck in my throat. 

''Don't go back to Ireland, Jess' Glen said as soon as Mark closed the door. ''Like, we all don't mind you staying. The guys enjoy your company' he continued. 

''Glen... I'm not going'' I said before he could say anything more and make it very awkward. 

''After all, you don't have anything to do back in Ireland, you don't have any friends there'' 

The moment I began thinking Glen was actually being nice to me, he says that and changes my thinking. I laughed. ''Fuck off Glen'' He laughed too. 

''I'll see you tomorrow, we don't have anything planned for tomorrow so I thought we could all go out for a drink'' 

''Sounds great'' I replied. 

He gave me a quick hug and left the room.

He had said 'we' which probably meant, Mark, Ben, Rod, Glen and Danny... and possibly me. 

Danny. Thinking of his name even gave me goosebumps. My mind began to wonder. Did he really like me? I couldn't believe this. I was smiling again. Without even realising what I was doing, I was already out of my room making my way towards Danny's room.

I was going to tell him how I felt.
