I hadn't even realised i'd fallen asleep until Mikey's phone rang, waking me up. It seemed to wake him up too, as he jumped and almost fell off the bed.

"Leave it," i mumbled, pulling him closer as he started to get up.

He wrapped me up in his arms, letting me nuzzle into him again. On a normal day, he'd have given me a hug or a quick kiss to satisfy me, before leaving me to answer it anyway, but he kept me in his arms. I appreciated that. Mikey could be a fucking pain when he wanted to be but when i needed it, he was an angel. I definitely needed it right now, even if he was reason i needed it.

He let me fall asleep again, and i felt myself drift off quite quickly. Though i woke up to Mikey's voice a little while later. I knew i shouldn't, but i had to listen to what the boys were saying; Andy and Brooklyn had come back.

"Why the fuck would you tell him that?" Mikey said, not sounding very happy.

Andy obviously didn't know how to respond, as he spluttered a little trying to speak, "i- i- uh- i um- uh.. well, i-"

"Just fuck off Andy, no fucking wonder he was acting weird," Mikey huffed.

I suddenly regretted listening to their conversation - Andy was obviously wrong about Mikey liking me back if he was acting like this - and i turned over, out of Mikey's arms to face the wall. He ran his fingers through my hair softly, and i felt myself drifting off again because of it as Andy sighed, "i thought-"

"I don't care what you thought, it's not your fucking place to tell him shit like that!"

"You weren't gonna tell him, were you?!" Andy questioned.

"No!" Mikey yelled, "ever think there was a fucking reason?!"

Andy seemed to give up, and i heard him get in bed. I assumed he stuck a pair of headphones on as Mikey got out of bed, as Brooklyn spoke softly, "are you okay Mikey?"

"Yeah," he said, "i just don't fucking appreciate him fucking things up."

"He's convinced you like each other," Brooklyn told him.

There was a short silence as Mikey took it in. I wished i knew what was going on in his head. I wished i knew what he thought of that, did he actually believe that i liked him? I didn't know what to do, what to think. I just wanted to hug him, tell him it was all a lie, get my best friend back. But that's not how shit works, is it?

Mikey's POV

"He's convinced you like each other."

I bit my lip. Ryan didn't like me back. I wasn't the type of person who got lucky like that. There was no way i could believe it, and now there was probably no way he'd ever speak to me again. I just wished i knew whether he'd believed Andy or not. He wouldn't fucking speak to me again if he knew how i felt.

I sighed, "do me a favour?"

He nodded, "yeah, what is it?"

"Tell him to come meet me when he wakes up?"

Brooklyn nodded, "where are you going?"

"Just the park," i said quietly, "to have a little walk around the lake."

He nodded, "i'll let him know."
