My Best Friend's Girl

4. Car Crash

Joe's POV

It had been two months since I'd met Dianne, and I must admit we've become really good friends. I consider her one of my best friends.

Ambar, was still quite reserved with Dianne, I think she's a little jealous of how close we are, and she's worried I'm going to cheat on her. I'm not like that. I'd never cheat. And besides, we're just friends.

I don't like Dianne like that, I love Ambar. At least I think I do.

Ambar wanted me to come with her for her modeling job, which I happily agreed to. I mean, when your model girlfriend asks you to come along, who would say no!?

I was slightly uncomfortable with this shoot though, because she would be half-naked. And the thought of some middle-aged man oggling my girlfriend really made me uncomfortable. But, I'll be the supportive boyfriend I need to be, and I won't say anything about it.

"Ambar look this way." I stand staring at my gorgeous girlfriend, as she has her pictures taken.

The guy wolf-whistled at Ambar, I coughed. ''Aww sweet, you've brought your brother.'' He chuckled.

''Actually, I'm her boyfriend.'' I glare. He laughs.

''This guy?'' He looks at Ambar, who smiles and nods.

''I happen to really like him, love him in fact.'' I smile.

''I love you, too.'' I whisper. She smiles, as I come up to her, and wrap my arms around her. ''shall we get out of here?'' She nods, kissing my nose, and heading off to get changed.

As I'm waiting for Ambar, my phone rings.

Alright Casp? I answer.

Joe, can you get to the hospital? Dianne's voice spoke down the phone.

Dianne, is everything okay? I ask.

No, its Caspar... Just g-get h-here quick. She breaks down, I ask her which hospital. My heart race quickens, as I think about Caspar. My best friend, in hospital.

Ambar came back through, to see me pacing the room back and forth.

''Hey, babe, are you okay?'' Her hand placed on my shoulder, as she spins me round so I'm facing her.

''No,'' I shake my head. ''Caspar is in the hospital, I need to go.''

''Alright, lets go. I'll drive us. You're in no fit state to drive, Joe. Give me your keys.'' I nod, handing her my car keys.

''Joe, over here.'' Dianne cries. I walk over to her. I notice she is covered in bruises, and has a cut on her head.

''What happened? Are you alright?'' I ask, concerned.

''I'm fine. Caspar on the other hand,'' She pauses.

''What happened, Di?'' I ask, trying to calm her, by rubbing my thumb on her back.

''We were driving back from our lunch date, when a driver ran a red light. It hit Caspar's side of the car, making it spin. And now, yeah, we're here.'' She cries. Ambar pulls her into her, and lets her cry. I was grateful to be honest, as I knew she didn't have any hard feelings towards her.

''Have they said how he is?'' I ask.

''No, not yet. They rushed him straight through, I've been sat here for ages.'' It broke my heart to see her like this. Her beautiful brown eyes were filled with sadness. Her perfect smil-No, Joe, stop!

I shake those inappropriate thoughts out of my head. I have Ambar, who I love.

''Hey, he'll be okay. It's Caspar. He's strong. He's a fighter,'' I say. ''he's a stubborn bastard.'' I say in an Scottish accent, making her giggle a little before she sighs.

''I know, I just,'' She pauses. ''I love him Joe, I can't lose him.'' Love. Why did that word hit me? Why did I feel like someone had stabbed me in the chest? Why did I feel jealous?

What the hell was this? Why did I feel like this? Did I have feelings for Dianne?

I gulp, shaking my head. No, Joe. You don't.

''You wont lose him, Di. I know you won't. He'll come around, I promise.'' I smile.

''Thanks, Joe.'' She smiles. Just then a doctor came out. We stand up ''how is he?''

''He's doing alright, we lost him for a split second. But he's fine now, we need to monitor him. He's asking for someone called Dianne?'' The doctor says.

''That's me.'' Dianne smiles, ''but can I have Joe and Ambar come with me?''

''They can, but only one person is allowed in.'' We nod.

''That's fine, Dianne, we'll wait outside.'' I smile. She nods, as we walk to Caspar's room.

Seeing Dianne and Caspar laughing, flirting, cuddling and being happy, really played with my emotions.

I knew. I knew right there.

The jealously.

The stabbing feeling in my chest.

The happiness I feel around her.

I knew exactly what is was.

I'm falling for Dianne. My best friend's girlfriend.

What the hell do I do?
