"It was.. nice" Chris mumbled, coughing quietly after he finished his sentence "well it looked like you were having a great time!" I tried to lighten the situation by making a joke, it definitely didn't work. Dan nudged my arm and I just decided to stay relatively quiet "I don't know why you're so annoyed about us getting together, it's not like we're dating anyone else" that was a valid point.

"What about Alisha? You told me that you went on a date a week or two ago?" Silence spread across the room. Apricots neutral expression turned into a large frown. "What the fuck Chris??" I blurted out "do you think apricot hasn't had enough shitty dating experience already?" I stared straight into his eyes, how dare he do something like this to apricot, she deserves so much better. "Hold on, I never said that I went on a date with Alisha, we just went to get coffee" I could hear dan scoff loudly and so I turned to face him.

"I have proof, Chris" dan began to pull his phone out of his pocket and unlock it "here" he showed me his phone screen and on it was a text conversation between dan and Chris that happened last week.

Dan: r u doing anything today?

Chris: ye, I'm going on a date w/ Alisha

Dan: k cool

Dan: ttyl

Chris: see ya

"That's bullshit" Chris stated "that conversation happened on the 28th correct?" Dan nodded "well I'd lost my phone that day! I couldn't find it for another 3 days until Alisha foun-" he stopped in he middle of his sentence for some reason "fuck". He angrily snatched his phone out of his pocket dialled a phone number. He held his phone up to his ear and I could hear the faint sound of a voice coming from his phone "Alisha, did you take my phone on the 28th?" We all stood still staring at Chris, the tension in the room was so thick I could cut it with a knife. Some more mumbling emitted from the phone and Chris's expression swiftly swapped from mildly annoyed to absolutely livid "what the fuck Alisha?? If you wanted us to go on a date you should've just said so for gods sake!" He screamed down the phone, his face turning bright red "anyway, I'm already with someone insanely beautiful and smart and way nicer than you!" I heard Alisha begin to sob and I felt a tiny bit guilty.

"Don't even try to contact me" and then he hung up. Everyone was dead silent, you could hear a pin drop. So as always, I tried to get everyone's moods back up "well, now that that's sorted, I'll make some tea!" I beamed "thank you very much Phil" Chris thanked me and I left the room, desperate to avoid the chilling silence.

I held the kettle under the tap and let the water pour in, I could hear that conversation in the next room had started again and breathed a sigh of relief. Hopefully Chris and apricots relationship won't be affected by Alisha because they're too cute of a couple to be split apart by someone like Alisha, also it would cause a lot of drama that I for one wouldn't like to be involved in. I plopped the kettle down on the base and pressed a button to get it to start boiling "hey love, how's the tea coming along?" I could hear dans footsteps approach me and the next thing I knew he hand both of his hands on my upper arms.

"It's going fine, are Chris and apricot alright?" I turned around to face him and found his face only a few inches away from mine. "They're fine, I think apricot is relieved to have Alisha out of the picture" I knew what he meant, apricot was stressing out about Alisha and if she would interfere with her relationship, luckily she won't have to worry about that stuff anymore. "Yeah, that's good" I turned back around to get 4 mugs out of a cupboard, suddenly I heard my phone ring from my bedroom "can you see who that is?" I looked back at dan briefly and he nodded before turning to go to my room.

After a few seconds dan re entered the kitchen and I began to put a tea bag in each of the mugs "it's.. Martyn? Who's martyn?" I could hear a subtle undertone of concern in his voice, I chuckled "don't worry, it's my brother" I politely took my phone from his hand and answered the call, I haven't spoken to martyn in ages, I wonder what he wants to talk about. "Hey martyn, what's up?" I couldn't help but let a little smile spread across my face, I've sort of missed martyn, the last time we spoke in person was at my mums birthday party 8 months ago "hey Phil, I'm coming down to London for a week so I thought I'd drop by and say hi" the small smile I had soon turned into a massive toothy grin, I was finally gonna get to see my big brother in person again.

"Sure! You know my address right?" Dan raised an eyebrow at my questioningly but I just ignored him and focused on martyn and what he was saying "yeah, I'll be round tomorrow at about 11am?" I have a decent amount of time to get the place cleaned up then, I'm sure apricot wouldn't mind lending a hand as well "ok, see you then" I hung up and let out a small squeal, barely able to contain my excitement. "What did he need?" Dan asked but his words went right through me, I darted out the room and ran down the hall, a small skip in my step. I've got to get my room ready asap.

I'm back!
I've missed you guys! Hopefully you've missed me too. I promise this time round I'll finally get back to a upload schedule x
