You lie on the top of your bed, staring at the ceiling.
You keep replaying the other night over and over in your head.

Bonnie was at work and so was Oliver and Gaby. You hadn't heard from Benedict for three days now so you assumed he was thinking things over. You were still annoyed though. How could he kiss you like that? And then not even explain himself?

You decide to take a walk to clear your head.
You grab your coat and put your brown heeled boots on.
----
You put your earphones in and walk slowly down your small road, onto the main road leading to Central London.
Usually this journey takes 10 minutes by car but seeing as you didn't have a job, you couldn't afford a car so you were stuck on foot.
You walk into central London and look for a place to stop and have something to eat. You subconsciously walk into the bakers shop and buy yourself a pasty.

"No Benedict today?" The lady says.
You and Benedict had become a regular. Everyday whilst he was on set you both would come here on his breaks and get a pasty or a pie. It was like your tradition.

"No, just me" you reply politely. She smiles softly before putting your usual order into a bag.
You thank the lady before turning and leaving the bakery.
You locate the nearest bench and sit and have your pasty.

You suddenly hear a bunch of over excited screaming coming from behind you. You roll your eyes so hard that you feel like they've slipped to the back of your skull.
You turn round and sigh, realising that you were sat on a bench right next to Baker Street. There must have been about 60 people all waiting around the barriers to get a glimpse of Benedict and Martin.

"Fuck sake" you mutter to yourself. You put your earphone back in and try and distract yourself from the screaming coming from behind you.
----
"Y/N!" You hear a lady call. You decide to ignore it and carry on walking down the road with your earphones in.

"Y/N!" She calls again. You take one earbud out and turn round.

"Oh, hi Amanda. Sorry I didn't hear you there" you improvise. She ignores you and pulls you in for a hug.

"You okay? What brings you out?" She asks.

"Yeah I'm good thanks. I decided to just pop out for a walk..."

"Ben told me that you and him were a little awkward right now..."

"Are we?" You reply. You take your other earbud out and stuff it into your pocket with a huff.

"Sorry- it's not my place to-"

"It's fine. Don't worry. If he says that we're awkward then I guess we're awkward."
...
"Did he happen to tell you why?" You ask. Amanda nods sadly.

"I think he's just confused at the minute." She says softly.

"Well that makes two of us"
you sigh.

"He cares about you Y/N."

"He's my best friend"
...
"Sorry" you say quietly.
Amanda strokes your arm slowly.

"What do you think I should do?"

"I think you should speak to him"

"I don't know what to say"

"Yes you do. Don't worry" she smiles warmly.
...
"I'd better be off then. I've left Martin on set with two coffees-"
You both laugh.
