Chapter 3 (can i ask you something)

andy's POV

i'm lying on my bed in the mindy room, jack's playing fortnite and is slumped on the sofa across the room. mikey is still asleep, it's like 2pm  aha. the others are in the corridor. 

i can hear them laughing about something brook said. i smile to myself and think about how amazing they all are. like i am so lucky and they don't even know how much i appreciate them. 

like jack for example, i turn and watch him playing fortnite. like although he was the last one to join the band he fits right in, he was the perfect missing puzzle piece yaknow. like he is a genuine sweetheart and is innocently hilarious. he is so positive even when he's frustrated, but will always cheer me up when i need it without even realising.  

i turn and see Mikey. he has his mouth slightly open and is cuddling his duvet. mickey is like that edgy friend that from the outside looks way too cool to hang out with someone like me, but then once he opens his mouth you are introduced to the worlds biggest goofball. mikey is the most down to earth with me, like Mikey just knows, he really does. he gets me, happy or sad and i couldn't ask for anything more from a friend.

i hear brooks booming laugh from the corridor. i smile to myself. Brooklyn. brook kinda reminds me of me when i was younger, he's so oblivious half the time it's hilarious. brook without fail will always have me in stitches for hours on end. he brings out everyones inner child and i think that is so important especially when we're all stressed out from time to time. he is also sooo loving and we all need some brook loving sometimes :)

then there's De. she is a star honestly. we've been best friends since the age of like 8. we met at this music summer camp and then continued to hang out like all the time as we lived near each other. my friends thought it was weird because she's a couple years younger than me but we didn't care our friendship was written in the stars lmao. it's funny because i actually hated her at the beginning because she kissed this boy who i had a big crush on obviously she didn't know at the time. but then she broke up with him a day later because she didn't like the way he boasted about how much money he had. classic primary school relationship and classic Cody. Cody knows me inside and out, that means she's always there for me but it also scares me because i hate being vulnerable.

mmm and rye. ryan Beaumont. you know how they say you always want what you can't have, or that the most beautiful things will end up destroying you, or that love is blind. well, i am blindly falling into an endless abyss of rye fucking Beaumont. and the most annoying thing is i was the one who screwed everything up. i had him once. he was mine and i was his. but it's different now.  i feel like myself around him like when we're together the planets align and i am safe, i am whole. he makes me laugh at the stupidest things and will let me just be me around him like nothing else matters. if something's on my mind it's all okay when i'm with rye. you know that feeling you get in your stomach when you look into someone's eyes and.......... 

"FOR FUCK SAKE" jack launched his controller across the room, waking mikey 

"jack, Jesus Christ, would you let a man sleep" 

Mikey attempted to hurl a pillow at jack but royally missed knocking a mug off the side table leaving it smashed on the floor. 

i laughed so loud i scared myself 

"i was sooo close to winning, he just came right up behind me and i didn't notice" jack explained

rye swung his head round the door

"sounds like things are getting heated in here, are we missing out?"

jack started to explain what happened, but i wasn't listening i was staring at rye who had walked into the room now. he was wearing comfy joggers and an oversized white T-shirt, his hair was messy falling over his face, which looked hella hawt. he had noticeable bags under his eyes and was doing that thing where he plays with the hem of his shirt when he's anxious. rye is feeling anxious?  

jak continues to moan. rye was watching jack who was pouting by the sofa and then moved his gaze passed jack looking directly at me. fuck, my stomach feels like it's decided to share it's space with 12 thousand butterflies. why does he do this to me. control yourself andy, i cleared my troat to say something still locking eyes with rye and then brook burst in. 

"hey me and De wanna rewatch harry potter, wanna have a movie night later"

"yeassss defo" mikey  

we all agreed, we love a good movie marathon in the roadtrip camp

"hey we need to get some scran there's fuck all in the fridge" brook whined "rye? drive us to the shop would ya, i wanna get fooood" 

"you're lucky i'm hungry brooky" 

rye put brook in a headlock and messed with his hair, part of me was jealous, i wish i could be that close to rye right now, i'm craving affection, ugh

"anyone else coming?" rye asked as they went to leave the flat

"sure i'll come" jack skipped toward them and they all left 

mikey went to take a shower, after cleaning up the mug, leaving me and De together. 

it's been a while since we've had a heart to heart, i smile and gesture for her to come sit with me on my bed.

she looks kinda worried. 

"hey andy, can i ummm ask you something"
