Best Friend's Brother

Chapter 10

Joe's POV
On the car ride home from Brighton, I thought about (y/n). She was so sweet for letting me stay the night. I would definitely return the favour when I could. We'd had such a fun night before. The pizza t-shirt I actually kind of enjoyed and I was glad I took it with me. Wrestling with (y/n), teasing her, bantering with her, flirting with her. It wouldn't be a night I would soon forget. I had looked at her many times during the movie, watching her expressions as they changed on her face, mirroring what was happening on screen. Joy, sadness, remorse.

My thoughts turned to Caspar as I remembered how the thought of him and another girl had made (y/n) cry. My knuckles tightened on the steering wheel in anger. My eyes narrowed. I was going to have a talk with that boy when I got back.

I finally got back to my flat at around 11:30. I walked in and Caspar shouted from down the stairs, "Hey Joe, you're just in time!" I called in a tight voice, "Casp, man, could you come here? I need to talk to you." He thundered up the stairs grinning. 'Dude, that girl from last night, she left already. Her name was Charlotte and man, she was so good. I think I'm going to call her ag—"

"what is wrong with you?!",  I whispered fiercely at Caspar. He looked at me with a confused expression on his face. 

"Wha- what d'you mean?" Caspar asked. I shot back at him, "How could you go out with another girl when you know (y/n) likes you? How could you lead her on like that and just drop her when you find the next girl?" He looked at me in shock. "(y/n) likes me?" 

I stared at him. Did he really not know?  "Um. Yes.", I said slowly. He whispered, "Really? I'm so sorry. I didn't know. Was she upset?"

I nodded. Caspar said, "Oh, shit. I feel so bad. I never knew. I have to make it up to her somehow." My heart sank. Now she was going to fall for Caspar all over again and I wouldn't have a chance.  Caspar pulled his phone out and dialed (y/n)'s number. He stood there, biting his lip. Finally he pulled his phone away from his ear. "She's not answering. I'll leave a voicemail." He waited until the beep and said, "Hey (y/n). Look, I'm really sorry but there's been a misunderstanding. I need to explain. Please call me back when you get the chance." He sighed. 

Just then, Oli called up to us, "Oi, are we gonna make a video or not?" I had forgotten about Oli and the video. I chuckled. Caspar looked at me. "So, are you mad at me too?" I shook my head. I may be jealous but I'm not going to ruin Caspar's chances with (y/n), I thought to myself. "Come on" I said, "Let's make a video." Caspar grinned at me and we both went downstairs together.
