Chapter 21

New Message: Hobbit Hair...

Dan's POV

Last night was a night to remember. I sweep the fringe out of my eyes and sit up for another day. I'm surprized I woke up before noon but I fell asleep early.... er than usual last night

I never wanted the night to end or wake up and see it was all a dream

But I also didn't want anything to happen just in time to ruin it

And it's all horrible to admit to myself.
The fact that my best mate is on the other side of my wall and has no clue about what a terrible human being I am for the things I think of his sister

But she's more than his sister
And more than a friend to me

She's a beautifully perfect human being that anyone would be lucky to have. And I know I'm not lucky enough

But hopefully, I'm also not just anyone..

I walk outside my room like a zombie and head to the kitchen

WOW, GUESS WHO?

Today is yet another case of catching Phil eating my cereal.

"Umm, hello!??" I semi yell. More of a loud talk because I don't have the energy this morning.

Phil puts his head down in response and giggles at first
"Sorry..." He replies.

you shouldn't be the one who's sorry...

I stare into space
"You okay?" He asks. And I snap out of it

"Yeah. Im just, not used to getting up this early. I think I'm gonna go back to my room" I make a quick excuse

"Oh okay, well if you didn't remember- later today I'm gonna spend some family time at my parent's house for a while.

So the flat is yours for a few days.. don't burn it down please!" He says while heading to his room

I chuckle and close my door. Family time with the Lesters.

Lester...

Would it be so crazy if I met up with a friend today? ....Probably not

Y/N's POV

And just like that, I had plans with the enemy himself

The person every feeling I had inside was battling against

And I don't think it's ever made me happier
