Friend of a friend || Reece Bibby - on hold

14.

We were currently in a hotel for the night as we had a day off tomorrow and the boys were getting restless in those buses.

I felt Brad move slightly and I stayed still, hoping I wouldn't wake him. My head was tucked under his chin whilst his arms were around my waist. Honestly he was just a big baby and it was adorable.

We weren't 'together' yet, however we did hang around each other a lot as of late. I would have been sharing a room with Reece as planned since the start of tour but since we aren't speaking Brad suggested Tris swap rooms with me so Reece wouldn't start ww3.

"What time is it?" I heard brad say sleepily.

I checked my phone, "4:17 am," I smiled and looked up at him, not seeing much more than the dark curls over his face as the room was pitch black.

"Too early," he mumbled and closed his eyes once again.

I smiled to myself, Brad was adorable.

But I know that I needed to make things right with Reece. One week of not talking to my best friend since birth (well even though he's two years older than me) was like hell. I needed him, I love that idiot so much and not having him around broke my heart every second.

His jealously needs to stop.
I'm going to talk to him.

I checked Brad was asleep before slipping out of his grip and placing a pillow where I was so he wouldn't get lonely. I placed a kiss on his forehead and grabbed my phone before walking out of the hotel room.

"254, 255, 256... 257! That's it!" I smiled to myself and slipped the key into Reece and Tris's door. I still had the key from when I was given it earlier today by Joe as he thought I was staying in this room.

I opened the door and surprisingly it was still kinda neat. "Fuck," I said to myself as I hit my ankle on the edge of Tris's bed. I shook it off and tip toed to Reece's bed.

He looked to young when he as asleep, I mean not that he didn't when he was awake but he looked so innocent right now with his blonde hair pressed against his forehead and one hand under his cheek.

"Reece," I whispered, although I knew Not even the world ending could wake Tristan up.

"Reece," I poked his bare back.

He shuffled under his duvet and even in the dark I could see his eyes flicker open and turn from an innocent green to a more menacing green.

"What do you want."

"To talk."

"Rose I do not want to talk to you, it's-" he checked his phone, "4:23 am, what the hell?"

"Reece please, we haven't talked for a week."

"Ever thought there was a reason for that?"

"Please just come with me," I begged, watching Reece roll his eyes and sit up.

"You have 5 minutes."

He got off his bed and pulled on a yellow hoodie and a pair of shoes I couldn't quite see as they blended in with the darkness of the room.

We walked silently to the outside pool area. The pool was huge and you could hear the faint sound of the water running from the makeshift waterfall that ran behind the seats you'd use for sunbathing.

"So," he said bluntly as we sat on seperate chairs.

"I'm just gonna lay it all out. I know you're mad at me and you're upset. But really what right do you have to feel that way? I understand your feelings Reece, I do. But you should know mine too. You know I like Brad and he kissed me, so what? Why are you so hurt about that, that you haven't so much as looked at me for an entire week! It really fucking hurts when your best friend doesn't support your feelings and ignores you."

He knitted his eyebrows together and sucked his cheeks in showing he was holding something back.

"Are you fucking kidding me? Do you not understand how much I love you? For years rose! I never told you because i thought it'd go away, new flash, it hasn't. Yeah maybe I'm being a bit stubborn but you we're making out with him in private, what was I supposed to think?" He yelled, but not loud enough to wake anyone up.

"Why did you even go up there Reece?"

"I was looking for you." He narrowed his eyes and turned his head away from me. "I was going to ask you to be my girlfriend."

I was taken aback. Reece was going to- what? Why? Oh god what have I done.

"Y-you what?"

"You heard what I said Rose."

"Well yes but-" I didn't know what to say.

"Speechless?" Reece smirked but it quickly faded
"Fuck it."

As I looked up at the sky and saw the sun rising I felt Reece's lips on mine, this wasn't right.

But the funny thing is, I didn't stop him.
