I know I said there's only so much I can see RoadTrip in one day, but now they're not here it just feels weird.

I go into the living room where Dan is sat upside down on the couch and Liv us sat normally next to her.

"I'M BORED!" I hear Danni shout in the living room. I'm getting serious Sherlock vibes, you know the whole scene where he repeatedly shouts 'bored' whilst shooting the wall.

"I would say we should go somehere but we don't know the area that well... And it's not like we can call Blair to pick us up if we get lost."

"True dat." I agree with Liv, sitting down next to her, looking over at Danni sat upside down on the couch.

"Also... I've got a bone to pick with you..." I point at her which makes her sit up. "Me? What have I done?"

"You know what Danielle. Giving Andy my number."

"You what?" Liv looks at Danni, who just looks back at her. "Don't act innocent Olivia, you know I did."

"Oh, that's right... Drop me in it."

"Liv? You knew?" She looks away avoiding eye contact with me.

Unbelievable...

"So... Who else knew?"

"Only us three, and I'm assuming Andy told the guys." She shrugs back making me sigh. "Why? Why would you do that?"

Obviously I know why they gave it him. But why couldn't they just let me do it? Or why didn't they tell me? Instead of me having to hear off Rye.

"But... we were doing it for your own good.."

"What's that meant to mean?"

"It means we're trying to give you a little head start."

"Why? Why can't you just let it play out on its own?"

"I'm gonna say it straight... if we let it play out in its own it's gonna get nowhere. You're both just as awkward and oblivious as each other... You're both waiting for each other to make a move..."

Well she certainly did that. Get straight to the point l mean...

"I'm not waiting for any sort of move Liv. I've known Andy three days... Three days!" I repeat, taking myself by shock at how shirt a time it's been.

"Yeah and you've liked him for two and half years... And you used to speak to him all the time."

"But that doesn't mean anything..."

It hurts to say, but it's true.

"Yeah I've liked him two and half years... Yeah, I spoke to him. Through a computer screen. As another fan... Don't forget that's his job, to talk to his fans. That doesn't mean that I know him as a person. I only just met him three days ago. And you're trying to make something happen that's not gonna happen... I'm still a fan and that's all I'll probably ever be..." I get up and walk out, where I'm met by Andy. What are the chances?

"Andy? What you doing here?" He ignores the question and asks me his own. "Why? Why would you say that Harri?"

"Well... It's true..." I shrug back not looking at him.

"Hey, look at me..." I look up at him, tears threatening to spill at any minute.

"Please don't cry... Please..." he pleads and I just look at him, looking like he's about to himself.

"Let's go in here..." I just nod and head into mine and Danni's bedroom. I just sit down and let him speak.

"To answer your question... All the ferries to Dublin were cancelled so we had to move the show to Thursday..." I just nod back sitting down on my bed, him sitting next to me.
