*y/n pov*

about half an hour after i left my house my phone buzzed. i pulled into a garage and checked my message. it was from joe.

r u nearly here? x - joe

i looked at my surroundings and began typing.

nearly, 5 more mins i'd say x - y/n

i smiled at the kisses in joe's message. i didn't like him, as i said before, he's like a brother to me, but it was still cute.

6 minutes later, i pulled into a parking space across from where joe lived. i climbed out of the car, walked to the boot and took out my suitcase.

i retrieved my laptop and handbag from the passenger seat and proceeded to lock my car.

i wheeled my suitcase across the road and entered the apartment building. as i dragged my luggage up the stairs i smiled at the though of seeing my best friend again.

eventually i the floor where joe lived. i walked towards the door and pressed the doorbell. i heard footsteps coming towards me.
suddenly  the door opened and i was greeted by joe's roommate caspar.

"y/n, you're here!" beamed caspar.

"hey casp," i said giving him a hug.

i met caspar through joe a while ago and now we were good friends.

"who is it?" i heard joe's voice echo through the apartment.

"y/n," caspar replied.

joe came around the corner and pulled me into a hug. we were hugging for a good 20 seconds when caspar coughed awkwardly and we all burst out laughing.

"good to see you y/n," joe said grinning.

"you too," I laughed.

caspar tapped joe on the shoulder and said something about telling the others i was here. then he walked inside.

"what others?!" i said accusingly.

i thought it would just be joe and caspar here. and maybe oli.

joe looked at me apologetically and said, "it's just four of my mates you haven't met and oli."

"joe," i moaned, "you know i'm terrible around new people."

"c'mon y/n," he replied, smiling now, "you'll love them."

and he pulled me inside.

*joe's pov*

when I heard Caspar say y/n's name, i went to the door as quick as i could. we hadn't seen each other in ages.

i gave her a hug and we ended up bursting out laughing.

she looked gorgeous today, like always. her hair lay flawlessly over her shoulders. and oh, how i had missed that beautiful laugh of hers.

y/n and i were best friends. we had been since we met 3 years ago. we had a great friendship but i had always had a crush on her. sometimes it went away but the minute i saw or talked to her again, it came back.

she didn't like me though. not in that way. i knew that and i had kind if gotten used to it by now. i still felt a pang of jealousy whenever i saw her with another guy but i never let it show. i could not and would not let it ruin the amazing friendship we had built.

caspar tapped my shoulder and woke me from my trance.

"i'll go tell the others she's here," he said.

i nodded and turned around to see y/n glaring at me, confused.

"what others?" she asked.

"it's just four of my mates you haven't met and oli," i said apologetically. i felt really bad for not telling her earlier but honestly, i had kind of forgotten.

"joe, you know i'm terrible with around new people..." she huffed.

"c'mon," i said grabbing her arm and pulling her inside. "you'll love them."
