"Mmm, these waffles are so good." Spoke Phillip as he scoffed another waffle into his mouth.
"Oh my gosh, Phillip slow down, I haven't even taken three bites yet!" Marzia said, making the rest of giggle.
"Joseph, hows your eggs and bacon?" Asked Tyler.
"Pretty good." I replied, struggling to keep my eyes open.
"Hey you don't look so good, do you just wanna call it a day?"
"Huh, what no of course not, it's only like 9:30." I spoke, trying to keep my voice as truthful as I could get it.
"Ok then." He replied.

As we finished up our meal we headed off to the shops to go have a look around.
When we entered the area filled with shops and trinkets it was filled with colours like always, it wasn't very crowded though but still a few people to make a crowd.
"So where should we go first!" I asked.
"Well what about this shop over here" said Phillip as he pointed towards a small little jewellery shop.
"Sounds like a plan" spoke Marzia as she raced into the store, here wavy, chocolate brown hair drifting behind her.
As we entered the store we were happily greeted by the shop owner who as usual asked us if we needed anything but like aways we wouldn't.
"Wow, look at this bracelet, hey guys come here!" Called out Lillian.
As we turned our heads she grabbed us by the wrists and pulled us towards a beautiful bracelet coloured silver and rose gold and covered with white diamonds.
"Wow it is really pretty, how much is it." Asked Phillip, peering through the crystal glass that stood between him and the beautiful piece of jewellery, adjusting his glasses as he did so.
"It's about 84658.11 lira." Replied
Lillian.
"That's about £37.89" I said to the group, my eyes squinting at the ceiling as I worked out the currency differences.
"Huh?" Replied everyone at once, turning their heads to me.
"Oh, well I had to learn how to exchange our currency to the British pound." I told them.
"Well that would explain it." Spoke Tyler, taking his sight back to the bracelet.
"So how much money did you guys bring?" Asked Tyler.
"Why?" Asked Lillian.
"Well maybe we could buy this bracelet for Josephine."
"You guys don't have to buy me anything." I interrupted, shaking my hands as to tell the no.
"Come on, it'll be something to remember us by." Argued Marzia.
"No, you guys can make me something instead."

As the hours passed by we eventually bought a few trinkets and clothes and then caught a train to the city to go see a movie, surprisingly Tyler and Marzia were being very suspicious, I questioned myself if they were hiding something from me, they probably were but I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. I was still incredibly tired but luckily I had a couple cups of coffees before we left for the cinema. The train ride wasn't too long, only took about 5 minutes to get to the city but is was great to spend that 5 minutes with my friends.

*Arriving at the cinema*
"Wow, this place is still as huge as usual." Spoke Lillian in amazement.
"Well no shit sherlock." Said Tyler.
"Hey don't swear!" Yelled Phillip.
As we began to walk into the cinema Tyler grabbed me by the wrist, stopping me and pulling me out of the small group that was walking up the small stairs.
"Hey I need to talk to you for a sec." He said, his crystal blue eyes fixed on the ground.
"Um ok?" I replied.
Before I turned away for Tyler to talk Phillip quickly asked if he wanted to by our tickets, I immediately said yes and passed my money to him.
As I turned to Tyler he began.
"Hey, t...this is gonna be really awkward to say but I've really been meaning to talk to you for a while but I guess I was too scared to admit this to you...."
I knew where this was going.
"I've....i've.....I'VE REALLY LIKE YOU FOR A WHILE NOW AND I...I.....I really really like you."
Those final words made my heart skip a beat, I knew that we were good friends but I never realised that he loved me.
I stood silent for a moment until he began again.
"I'm sorry." He spoke, turning his head away "I just couldn't keep it in anymore, b..but I don't care if you like don't me back, all that matters is that you now know how I really feel about you, but know this, I'll never stop loving you."
I was still speechless, for his words took out every word I could wheeze out of my lungs.
Everything was silent, not one word came out of us as we stared at each other, ours eyes locked into our glare.
I couldn't bare the burning silence, I had to say something.
"Why couldn't you have told me sooner."
Tyler's eyes lit up.
"I'm sorry but I don't love you, but if you would have told me sooner we would have to stress so much!"
I told him, a single tear beginning to fall down my cheeks.
"I'm sorry." Tyler spoke.
"It's fine, now come on, the day hasn't ended yet, we still have time to have fun."
As I spoke I grabbed Tyler by the hand, just to try and make him feel better. We both walked up the stairs hand in hand, but I knew it was all fake.
