Andy wouldn't talk to me most of Sunday either, which really sucks when you're sharing a room. Any attempt I made at conversation was answered with a curt yes or no, elaborating only when absolutely necessary. I had no idea what I'd done, it's not as if I'd broken my promise and seen Kier behind his back (despite how many times I may have thought about it), and what we'd had last night couldn't really be classed as a fight, we'd merely argued for a few minutes. I hated it. I hated him being mad at me, and I hated him not talking to me. One of my biggest fears had always been him leaving me for the band, forgetting about my existence completely and me never seeing him again. I guess you could say my biggest fear was being alone, without family or friends. I couldn't lose my only family. But I knew he'd get over it soon enough, it's not as if he could just leave. And the silence gave me time to think properly. About Kier. I know, I know. He was the reason Andy was mad at me, so why was I still thinking about him? To tell you the truth, I hadn't a clue, but there was no use trying to change it, it'd only make it worse. And so I let myself think about him. I thought about his appearance first, how he seemed to be able to pull off any clothes or hairstyle, and how he could go from being the cutest thing ever to so hot I had to make myself look away before I started blushing and staring. And that goddamn smirk. Then, I thought about his personality, how lovely and kind he was, and how he'd do pretty much anything for anyone if they needed him. He was funny, and caring... At this point I realized that everything I'd thought about him was positive, and that it was hard to find a flaw in him. Of course, he wasn't perfect, nobody is, but I loved him just the way he was... Wait... Love?! Where the fuck had that come from?! I didn't like him like that! He was my best friend for heaven's sake! But... maybe I was just denying it because I knew I couldn't like him like that, I wasn't supposed to. I'd promised my brother I'd never date him, and so by doing that had I pushed out the feelings that may have taken place if I was allowed to like him? Wait, what was I saying?! Allowed? I was nearly 22, and I shouldn't have to ask permission to hang out with my best friend, or to date whoever I wanted. And with that thought, I began to text.

To: Kier :D; From: Sapph :p: Hey, I know we said tomorrow, but are you busy right now?xx

There was no way I was letting Andy dictate who I could and couldn't see and,  as much as I loved him, he could be a bit too overprotective. Plus, he couldn't just ignore me all day for no reason and then expect me to let him tell me who I could and couldn't see! I got ready (A/N: Outfit to the side) and grabbed my stuff before going to the door. "And where are you going?!" Andy called from the living room part of our hotel suite.

"Out."

"Where, Sapphire?"

"Oh, so now you want to acknowledge my existence? If you must know, I'm going to Kier's. And no, nobody else is gonna be there. Also, we are not secretly dating behind your back, so I have not broken my promise." I said, not bothering to sugarcoat it.

"Sapphire, I told you I didn't like you hanging out with him alone."

"And I told you that I don't give a fuck. I'll be back whenever." I rolled my eyes and walked away, ignoring my brother's shouts at me. If he wanted to be ignorant, well, two could play at that game. It was sad that we were resorting to such childish measures, but I wasn't 16 anymore, and he needed to stop treating me like a kid. And, if there's anything I learned from him, it's how to stand up for yourself against authority. Rebel.

"What, so you just walked out?!" Kier asked as we sat on his sofa. I bit my lip and nodded. "Wow... that's bad-ass Sapph."

"Oh shut up! He probably fucking hates me now!" I  groaned, leaning into his chest. Kier wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly. I gratefully returned it.

"He doesn't hate you, he's your brother. He could never hate you, especially being as close as you two are. I'm sure he'll call you later, but if you really don't wanna go back, you can stay the night here." He offered, looking at me with concerned eyes.

"Are you sure? I don't wanna intrude." I said.

"Sapphire, I'm your best friend for fuck's sake, you're not intruding! Plus, sleepover!"

"Okay, but Kier?"

"Yes?" He answered, raising an eyebrow.

"Where am I gonna sleep?" I pointed out.

"Well... Timids and Luke should be home later but Laur's out for the night. We, uh, share a room, so his side of the bed is free." Kier looked a tad nervous, unlike usual. So, he basically just suggested we share a bed... That was probably not going to help with whatever I may or not be feeling for him, but how many people aside from Laurence get to say they've shared a bed with Kier Kemp, eh? Plus, it might be fun!

When Luke and the Timids walked in at 11:30 that night, what they found was me and Kier sat in the middle of a blanket fort we'd create from every piece of fabric we could find, except the curtains, watching American Horror Story in pajamas. I was wearing one of Kier's old shirts and some old pajama bottoms he had. Of course, Drew immediately dived in, no questions asked, and began crying over Tate and Violet with us. Shane laughed, said "I guess we're having a sleepover then?" and went to go make tea. Luke, being the sensible one, asked the appropriate questions and told me I should tell Andy I was staying before he joined us. We didn't actually go to bed until we'd finished the whole of season 1, and by that time it was nearly 4 am. Shane said goodnight and carried a very tired Wooly into their room, before coming back to grab their blankets and they went to be. Me, Kier and Luke did the same, and soon enough we were all in bed.

"Thanks for tonight Kier, I really enjoyed myself." I said to him. He reached down and squeezed my hand under the duvet.

"It's okay Sapph, what are best friends for, eh?" He replied, but I swear I caught a glimpse of something else in his eyes. I ignored it, putting it down to tiredness, and smiled back.

"Well, thanks anyway. We're still on for tomorrow, yeah?" I checked.

"Definitely... If we ever wake up in time. Night, Sapph." He smiled.

"Night Kier." I reached up and kissed his cheek before giving him a tight hug and getting comfortable for the night, unashamedly grinning at how he held me tight and kept my hand.
