Chapter Twenty-Øne

People start getting tired at around 4 am, especially Louise and Zoe. We all decide to get ready for bed. I grab a shirt from Dan, brush my teeth and wash my face. When I come out of the bathroom and go into Dan's room to pick up my stuff, he is already in there.
I grab my bag and turn to leave the room. "Where are you going?", he asks me with the slightest slur.
"To the lounge?", I reply.
"I mean- if you want you can sleep here, there's not enough room there anyways."
I drop the bag, smile, and throw myself on Dan's bed. "I am so tired."

ZOE'S P.O.V:

4 am is way too late for me and I am tired but also a bit hyper because I am so exited for Y/N. I know she really likes Dan, I mean they're best friends. But I've yet to find out how much she likes him.

Alfie and I unfold the couch that we are supposed to sleep on. Louise and her boyfriend are sleeping on the blow up bed next to us.
Joe already left at 2 am to go to his mates house, because it was his birthday and they are having a party.

I sit on my phone, scrolling through twitter when I hear Dan come in. "You guys comfy? Need anything?"
"Nope all good", I say "except, can I talk to you for a second?"

Dan and I go to the kitchen together.
"So, you know Y/N is one of my best friends. So I just want to know if you like her or if you're setting her up?", I ask, straight forward.
"Zoe, obviously I like her, she's my best friend. And what makes you think I would set her up? I'd never do that to anyone, especially a girl!"
"No, no Dan. I mean do you like her. And just.., you go from being flirty to not speaking to her and it's weird."
"What? No I don't like her? And we were literally set up to kiss, I had no choice. It's not that I don't think she's amazing and beautiful but I just can't imagine myself with her right now...", he sighs, "... I honestly don't like her as more than a friend but what's wrong with some fun and I don't mind her sleeping in my bed, you know what I mean?", he laughs.

Right when he says the last part, Y/N pops up at the kitchen door. "Dan...", I say, trying to stop him from talking. Y/N looks at me and I can just see that her face means a little, sad, 'it's okay'. She turns around and leaves.
