I pressed down hard on my horn in my car as this car pulled out infront of me without looking, I was going to be so late for picking Tom up from the station, the past couple of weeks he'd been nipping off to London to go and do things with the band but he promised me he'd return to help me pack for university. I finally managed to park my car and started to jog towards the platform so I could be waiting for him when he got off the train. I'd made it within a minute to spare and I soon saw his train approaching.

"Tom!" I shouted a bit too loudly, an old woman who was sitting on a bench tutted at me as I ran over to him, he'd been gone for two weeks but it had felt like a lifetime.

"I've missed you Maddie" he said but it was muffeled by my hair as I pounced on him. I felt guilty as he staggered back, obviously not expecting me to jump on him, but it didn't stop him from lifting me up and spinning me round.

"Your hair!" I said in a state of shock, he'd had it cut and it looked really stylish, he was definitley becoming part of a boyband.

"Sorry, were in the way" I said pulling Tom's arm to move, as a curly haired man stood behind him, typical of us to be a public nuisance.

"Maddie, that's Jay" Tom laughed as he realised who I thought we were holding up.

"Hi I'm Jay, I'm with Tom in the band" Jay introudced himself as he laughed at my confused face.

"Nice to meet you" I smiled, as I returned his hand shake.

"Come on then, lets get back to Bolton, Jay's staying with me for a couple of nights" Tom explained as we headed back to my car.

We were nearly back to mine and Tom's street and I dont think Jay had stopped making us laugh, he was so funny, he had a weird sense of humour but it worked. 

"So how long have you been together?" Jay asked as we pulled up to my house. I laughed at his assumption as I switched the engine off, the new silence made things a bit awkward.

"No were not together mate, we've known each other forever but were more friends..." Tom trailed off, unsure of how to finish.

"With benefits?" Jay asked finising Tom's sentence for him.

"Yeah, but not in a seedy way, more of a mutual agreement" I laughed, I didn't want Jay to think I was a slag, besides we were both single, me and Tom shouldn't be embarrassed.

"I'm not judging, I'm jealous that's all, I want a friend with benefits" Jay laughed as we got out the car.

"Get yourself one" Tom said being entirely serious.

"Were not objects you twat" I tutted as I punched his arm lightly.

"You're my object" Tom laughed slapping my bum as I unlocked my front door.

"Are you sure your parents wont mind me being in their house?" Jay asked nervously.

"It's only my mum, she wont mind, she loves men..." I laughed, she could be such a cougar.

"Dont even think about it Jaybird" Tom warned Jay as we headed to my bedroom, I seriously needed to start packing my stuff up.

"Anddddd afterallllllllll you're my wonderwalllllllllllll" I sang loudly as I grabbed my hairbursh and jumped up onto my bed.

"I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me" Tom shouted more than sang as we collapsed on the bed in laughter. We'd finished packing hours ago and decided to have a few beers to congratulate ourselves on doing a good job. Jay had helped out too which I thought was really nice of him, considering I'd only just met him.

"You're like the female Tom Parker do you know that?" Jay laughed as he took my beer from me to stop me from spilling it.

"Theres only one Tom Parker" Tom slurred as he buried his head into my pillow.

"Thank god for that" Jay joked as he took another swig from his can.

I woke up in confusion, I was so squashed against the wall and I couldn't even remember going to bed. My head hurt and the sun shining through the blind was torturing me. I sat up slowly so my head wouldn't feel the need to explode and looked at who was next to me. I panicked slightly as I saw a flop of curly hair appearing on the pillow next to Tom before my brain slowly reminded me that it was Jay, Tom's bandmate. I couldn't remember if he was drunk last night or not but I hoped he was, I'd hardly been a good hostess. I crawled under my duvet to the end of the bed so I could slip out without waking them and grabbed a hoody from one of the packed boxes. I regretted catching sight of myself in the mirror and I soon placed my hair into a messy bun, and began to creep downstairs ready to make breakfast, or dinner, whatever time it was. I was halfway down the stairs when I realised what fun I could have. I quietley opened my bedroom door again and slowly walked over to the bed. I lifted Tom's arm and placed it over Jay's chest, I lifted Tom's leg with his shorts and dangled it over Jay's legs, making it look like they were cuddling in bed. I smirked to myself and went downstairs, ready for them to wake up and hear their reactions.
