"I don't want to leave.", sleepy Dan says, leaning his head on my shoulder.
"Me neither, I had a great time though.", I reply and kiss his forehead.

Today is the day we have to leave Iceland and go back to England.
The time we had here was truly unforgettable. Every single day was something special and I don't want to go back to work. But what I don't want to do most is not seeing Dan for a month when he leaves for Australia.

Just when we are about to leave for the airport, I get a text from Zoe.
She told me about her fight she had with Alfie the day it happened. She is currently living with Joe and has been since then.
Zoe: Have a good flight you two x
Y/N: Thanks! How are things going with Alf.
Zoe: Not good, can you come to Joes when you land?

"Babe?", I look at Dan, closing the cab door behind me, "is it okay if I go to Joes' when we land?"
"Why?", he asks and looked slightly jealous.
Dan is a jealous guy over all, but he didn't have anything against me having boy friends except for Joe. They do get along, he is just very jealous when we hang out because we get along very well and he knows that Joe used to have a crush on me. I don't even know if he still does to be honest, he seems fed up with me.
"Zoe is at his and she needs me right now", I explain.
"What happened?", his expression changes to worried.
"Her and Alfie got into a fight.", I say to him. I never told him about it because of what Alfie has to say about him.
"Why?", he asks.
I sigh: "He said some nasty stuff about you and I and Zoe wasn't having it."
"What the fuck did he say about you?" he asks angrily.
I explain the whole situation without getting a comment from him.
He just looks down on his hands and avoids any eye contact.

"Am I really not good enough for you?", he says all of a sudden.
"Don't be stupid babe, you are perfect to me you know that, Alfie is being dumb."
I say and grab his hands.

We land in London a few hours later, back to reality.
Dan heads to his and Phil's flat and I take a cab to Joes house.

Joe recently came back from a trip to the US so I don't want to ring the doorbell, just in case he is sleeping.
Zoe tells me where his emergency key is hiding so I open the door with that.
"Hello?", I say quietly, entering the house with the second key in my hand.

To my surprise, I hear talking from Joe's room upstairs.
Since he is up and talking to Zoe, I go to the bedroom.
Right when I am about to enter the room I drop the keys on the carpet.
Bending down to pick them up, I suddenly overhear the raise of Zoes tone from the room.
"Joe, you're stupid. Just stupid. You know that's fucking ridiculous. What's wrong with you?"
"Fuck off, Zoe.", Joe shouts and I can hear him get to the door I am standing in front of, so I quickly hide in the bathroom next to it.
Moments later I hear him run down the stairs and a door being slammed shut.

In complete shock, I get out of the bathroom and knock on the door to Joes room. "Get away Joe!", Zoe screams from inside.
"It's me.", I say when I open the door.

In front of me is Zoe with tears on her cheek and smugged makeup.
