Joe's POV
I think I should break up with Penny because it's kinda weird to think that we 'did' something on the fourth day since we met. I called her,then she came in the room typing away on her phone. "Pen" I started. "Yeah?" She replied. "Can I ask you something but promise me to forgive afterwards?" She nodded , " Of course" " Can we have a break? I know you'll be heartbroken but I promise you to get back together after a few months because we still need to get to know each other first."

"okay." She said, casually.

-----time skip to Brighton station---------

As we both got off the train, Penny was still upset. On the way to Brighton was silent. I called for an über and waited. " Are you okay?" I said breaking the silence. She smiled and nodded, " yeah. Nothing to worry about."

As the car arrived, the driver took our bags and put them in the boot and we headed off.

" you okay ?" I asked Penny. " Yeah, just thinking" She said, worriedly. "Are you worried about something?" I asked. Then I noticed that she was having an anxiety attack . "How many seats are there in this car" I distracted. "Um, ten?" "How many people can sit back here?" Um, ten?"

I kissed her temple and she looked at me, confuse. "We're friends with benefits, right?" I reminded her. She smiled,then nodded.

"Thanks for distracting me." she spoke up.

"No problem." I said.

Minutes later, we arrived the Zalfie pad. We took our bags from the back and payed the driver. Penny knocked and a happy/nervous looking Zoe welcomed us in. She said that everyone was in the lounge, chilling. I told Penny to go ahead and I'll put our bags upstairs.

Penny's POV
As me and Zoe enter the lounge,everyone stared at me. "Hi?" I said,breaking the awkwardness. Naomi and Tan start squealing and rushing toward me. They told me that they were big fans and I said ,"likewise". Tyler and Joey were on FaceTime on Zoe and Alfie's laptops .

I thought of being 'friends with benefits' was cute because all our friends know that me and joe are a couple and we act as a couple but we're actually friends.

Zoe came up to me and whispered:" I haven't told them yet except you and Joe ,so this is going to be exciting" I grinned widely and nodded.

"Okay, everyone" Zoe started,while the whole room went silent. "I asked you guys to come her because." She goes into the kitchen and everyone follows. Marcus and Jim holding the laptops. Zoe opens the oven and reveals a bun. Louise screams and goes up to Zoe , crying. "I don't get it " Tan says. Zoe smiles at me and nods. "Guys, Zoe's pregnant!" I explain. Everyone started screaming and crying.

I see Marcus going up to Alfie and pats his back, "Good job , mate" Alfie started laughing to cackling. Joe came up to me and gave me a bottle of beer. "Cheers" we both said as we drank.

Let's just say Joe had one too many drinks. It's also a good thing that we came to sleep over because I do not want to drag my overly drunk 'boyfriend' home.

I sat both of us down and I lied down on Joes chest as he started to fall asleep.

30 minutes later

I still can't sleep. Alfie was in the kitchen while everyone was laying down with the duvet wrapping them like a burrito, fast asleep. I got up and went to the kitchen.

(Script bc I'm too lazy)

Penny:hey alfonzo

Alfie:oh hey pen

Penny: why are you still up ?

Alfie: I should ask you the same question

Penny: just thinking. You?

Alfie : just thinking too

Jim: good thing Tan's asleep.

Penny:why?

Jim:she sometimes get crazy when she's drunk.

Penny; oh.

Alfie said goodnight and headed off , which left me with Jim.

Jim: aren't you tired?

I shook my head.

Penny: aren't you?

He shook his head.

We took some snacks that were out on the table and talked a bit more. I even snuck in the fridge to get beer for me and Jim.

A little while later, we started to get sleepy and went back to cuddle with their partner. Jim went back and cuddled with Tanya, as I went back to cuddle Joe on his chest.

What an eventful day.
