So today I was supposed to be hanging out with my favourite boy band, As It Is. They have been my best friends/ favourite band since I started being their photographer. The only person that I didn't really connect with was Patty Walters. The singer. The most attractive member. But that was no fault of my own and nor was it his, he liked to be alone and I respected that. I liked to be alone too but I just couldn't get over how cute he was.

I was wearing my black skinnies with my vans and a black 'the great depression' hoodie with a backpack. Whilst walking to Starbucks where we decided to meet, I was listening to such great heights by the postal service and humming along to it gently.

I walked into the shop and saw them all sat in the corner. What a surprise! They all had their phones in their hands and scrolling through instagram and twitter. Me, being the kinda and amazing person I am, decided to go behind ronnie and scare him.
"Fucking bitching bitch"
All of us were in hysterics. Well all of us apart from Patty. He just looked unimpressed and bored.
"I'm gonna get a coffee. Does anyone else want one?"
That's when patty finally looked at me
"Yes please"
"Okie. Normal?"
He nodded like a kid in a candy store and finally paid attention to me.

We decided to go back to mine since it had started to rain and my apartment was the closest.
Currently we had music blasting and they were all stealing my instruments.
"You break any of them, I swear I will break you"
"What about Patty?"
"He's only using my microphone so it's alright"

I was being nice and let them all stay for a movie marathon and food. As it was my pay day the day before I ordered pizza and Chinese food (because alistair and Patrick wanted chinese food)
My pizza came before anyone else's food so I made them all jealous by eating a bit. This was the first time that me and patty had actually communicated and been nice to each other so I let him have a slice of my pizza

"Now that's really not fair"
"Swivel bitch"
I stuck my middle finger up at ben and smirked knowing that I'd pissed him off.
"That middle finger will get you nowhere in life"
"I'd need more than two middle fingers to fully express myself darling"

I don't know what to do. She was perfect. Her sense of humour was enough to bring me out of my dark place but I just couldn't talk to her and i dont know why. I wanted to. Really badly.
When she asked me if I wanted a coffee I just froze but able to nod. She physically took all of my words and mashed them up. I could never form a sentence when she was around and it was because I had deep feelings for her yet I was so unable to show them in fear of rejection. I wanted to at least try. If i get rejected I can say that I tried.

the guys had all fallen sleep apart from Patty and me. Since they had all crashed on the sofa there was no where for patty. This was awkward. I was literally trapped in a room with someone that I liked and I couldnt do anything about it.
"Wanna watch Netflix in my room since they're on the couch?"
He thought for a moment before nodding.
We quietly made our way upstairs and walked into my room.
"Y/n do you have any make up wipes?"
"Yeah. Top drawer in the bathroom"
I tied my hair into a messy ponytails before putting my glasses on and going into my closet to find some pyjamas. I decided on some shorts and a hoodie since it was comfortable.
Patty walked back in when I was about to put my hoodie on. He covered his eyes before putting his head down and apologising profusely.
"Patty is okay. It's not like you've never seen a woman in a bra before"
I noticed a pink tint to his cheeks. I made him blush.
I pulled the hoodie over my head and changed my jeans to my shorts.
"Sorted"
I sat on the bed and patty stood awkwardly in the corner.
"I don't bite. Well not yet"
He chuckled before walking over and sitting on the bed.
"I have some male joggers in the wardrobe if you don't wanna sleep in your jeans"
"It would be appreciated"
I ran to the wardrobe and grabbed the joggers and handed them to him.
"If you don't mind me asking, what are the scars from?"
"Which ones?"
He motioned for me to go over to him so I did. I stood in front of him and he slightly lifted my jumper, revealing the scar on my stomach"
Surprisingly is didn't move when he touched it, like I did with everyone else
"I was in a car accident when I was 10. I lost both of my parents."
"Who did you live with?"
"I went to live in Australia for 8 years with my auntie"
He gave me a sad smile before hugging my waist.
"I'm sorry you had to deal with that"
"It's okay. I guess it made me the person I am today."
I ran my hand through his hair and honestly having him in my arms felt so right. Maybe things would work out but maybe not. Even if I didn't get along with him so well, it felt like he was the one I connected with most.
"Shall we watch Netflix now. Or do you just want to talk?"
"We'll watch Netflix and then talk tomorrow"
"Okay"
I grabbed the remote from the bedside table and got into bed. I pulled the cover over me and patty and flicked through the shows on Netflix.
We settled on .F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and started saying who we would be.
"I feel like you would be ross"
"Nahhh. I'd be chandler"
"No. That would be foley"
"Okay..I'd be Phoebe"

---time skip---
We'd switched the television off and now we were just laying in bed and talking about anything.
"You know I like you right?"
"I like you too"
He looked at me and smiled. Just as our lips touched the door opened and in cam everyone else.
"Fuck you guys are such cock blocks"
