[Ross' P.O.V]

I close the door gently and tiptoe up the stairs to avoid making any noise, it's midnight and I've only just got home. Might be the latest I've stayed, actually. 

''Where were you?'' Gemma questions, an evident smirk on her face. I sigh. 

''Chess club..the match was longer than expected.'' I stutter, she doesn't seem to be buying it and she crosses her arms.

''You can't use that excuse every saturday, ya know,'' Gemma laughs. ''it gets old.''

''He was with Molly.'' A deep voice makes us both flinch. 

''How do you know?'' I question him as he gets closer, his dark shadow moved towards us. 

''How don't I know?'' He shakes his head. ''I'm not teasing you, I'm happy you've found someone.'' 

His reply took Gemma and I by surprise and I break into a smile. It was nice to know that he wasn't planning on ruining this, too. But wait.

''Hold on, we're not together.'' I clearly remember her marking the friendzone territoy.

You're the funniest friend I've had, Ross.

Wow, you're such a true friend, Ross.

You know, any girl could be lucky to have a friend like you, Ross.

''Seems like it to me.'' Harry shrugs.

[Harry's P.O.V]

''Seems like it to me.'' I squeeze in the words and shrug, I walk into our room and Gemma and Ross follow me in.

''Who's Molly? Is she Alexis all over again?'' Gemma laughs and I tense up. Don't compare her..to anyone. 

''Worlds apart,'' A smile takes over Ross' face. ''she's different.'' 

''How?'' I was curious and slightly angry by where this conversation was going. He's saying Alexis is some stereotypical girl. 

''I don't know, she gets me.'' Ross starts pacing around the room, looking for words. ''You know, when you feel like nobody understands you then someone comes along?''

His words were exactly how I felt about Alexis. I feel like nobody understood me. Ross constantly thought I ''stole'' girls off him, but really, it's to stop him from getting all the spotlight. He was always praised for getting amazing grades and I guess that was the only thing I was good at, socialising. I find myself furrowing my eyes together, not realising the serious face I was pulling until  they were both looking at me.

''Awww.'' Gemma breaks the silence and puts her hand on her heart. ''I never thought this day would come.'' 

I burst out laughing at her choice of words, and nod my head in agreement. Ross sits on the bed and crosses her arms. His childlike behaviour only made Gemma and I look at eachother and burst into fits again. 

''Well, I'm glad I've loosened up the tension. Night guys.'' She leaves me the bedroom and the atmosphere was awkward again. 

What's irritating me so much is the fact that my geek of a brother is talking to a girl whilst I'm not. I could go out to plenty of parties and find a bunch, but not as special as..someone.

She's still ignoring me. I think by 'space' she meant go to the moon. I always build up the courage to remind her about what she did to Ross and I that date night, but when I come face to face, and see the innocent face of hers, I can't do it. 

''Have you..er, talked to Alexis?'' Ross' voice was shaky. 

''Tried to, if that's what you're asking.'' I play with the ring on my finger. He always seems to be asking me these questions, nervously. 

''I could help if you want?'' His question surprises me in so many different ways.

''Why would you want to? You haven't done anything, have you? I thought you hated me?'' I bombard Ross with questions.

''You're my brother, no and no.'' He answers each question simply.

''How are you going to-'' 

''Will you stop, Harry? I know things. I'll try to talk to her.'' He checks his watch and takes his glasses off, placing them on the stand. 

[Ross' P.O.V]

I already gave Harry a taste of his own medicine and since I've found someone, it wouldn't hurt to help him out. Besides, I don't want him to be all up in my relationship, he's prooved to me he will from earlier.

''Will you stop, Harry? I know things, I'll try to talk to her.'' I assure him, my tone still friendly. He nods in appreciation. 

''Thank you. For you know, helping.'' You could tell Harry found difficulity in saying those words. 

I haven't even done anything and he's already thanking me. I felt bad. I was the one that put him into this situation and he thinks I'm only getting him out of it. 

''It's alright.'' I get under the bed sheets and flutter my eyes shut. 

**

''So, what did you want to talk about again?' Alexis takes a bite from her burger and chews.

''Well, I was um, going to talk about Harry.'' My words make her stop chewing. Her eyebrows relax.

''What about him?''

''I just feel bad for him.'' I play with the tissues placed on the tray,  and she puts her drink down. 

''Of course you do, he's your brother. He's gonna be the good guy here.'' Her words were harsh but her tone was soft. I knew that I was pushing the limits, and I had to bring them back down.

''No, I was..there.'' I let out the words. 

''Where?'' She questions. ''You were where?''

''When he kicked Mai out, he did accidentally call you, he sat on his phone or something.'' I obviously wasn't going to tell her the actual story. Harry and Alexis would hate me for the rest of my life.

''Why were you saying it couldn't have been a coincidence then?'' She brings up the past conversation. 

''I was joking.'' I chuckle nervously but she doesn't find it amusing at the slightest. 

''Well your little joke made things worse.'' She looks around and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. She looked sorry. I was sorry. Everyone right now, is misunderstood and sorry.

''I'm sorry, I didn't know it would get to you.'' I lie. I knew exactly what I was doing at the time. 

''I feel awful for him,'' Alexis' eyes turn from angry to guilty. ''i've just been pushing him and pushing him away when he hasn't done anything.''

Alexis gets up and puts her bag on her shoulder. 

''Where are you going?'' I ask.

''Where does it look like? To apologise.'' She rushes out and I patted myself on the back. Genius Ross has done it again.
