It had been six months since the crash. Caspar was fine, luckily.
Caspar and I were going through a rough patch at the minute. Why? He thinks I fancy Joe. Which I won't lie, I do have conflicted feelings at the moment. I feel different when I'm around Joe. I feel a sense of happiness, and a wave of butterflies.

There's something different there with Joe than there is with Caspar.

I think, no I know. I'm falling for Joe. But I can't tell Caspar. It'll break him.

I sigh, I didn't want to lose Caspar, but I didn't know what to do?

Do I keep my feelings hidden, and stay with Caspar? I do love Casp, I do.

Or do I tell Joe, and break Caspar's heart?

I didn't know what to do. I was so conflicted, and confused right now.

Anyway, today, is a Saturday. And I'm filming a video with Joe for his second channel. ThatcherJoe. We are doing the Child Birth Simulator. I've watched videos of this, and they're brutal. But hilarious.

Getting myself ready, I make my way to Joe and Caspar's. But, Caspar was out for the day. Hes at meetings.
"Hey," I smile as Joe pulls me in for a hug, as I smell him. Gosh he smelt amazing. Stop it, Dianne.

''Are you ready to film?'' He asks, I nod and smile.

He grins at me.

Joe's POV

My crush is getting worse. I feel really guilty, because I love Ambar I do, it's just I think my crush is more than a silly little crush. I think, I'm falling in love with her. Shit. What do I do?

Pushing that to the back of my mind, I set the camera up ready for the video.

I do my intro, before introducing Dianne. And we start.

////

Laughing, I tell Dianne to turn it off.
"Enough." I laugh, after the last question had been answered.

"Let me put this on your hand." I say to her.
"Not four. Not four." Dianne laughs.

"Not put it on your other hand." I gesture to Dianne's other hand.
"Hmmm. I can't do it, " She cries. "don't go hard. Don't go hard." I laugh at the innuendo.
"Can you feel that!?" I ask, smirking. "can you feel that?"
"Yes," Dianne laughs. "yes."
"Put your hands in the air, so it's on camera look. Ready. Keep them there." I chuckle.
"No no more. No more." She screams, as I move the buzzer up higher. And laugh.

"Get this shit off me." Dianne curses, as she laughs. Her laugh will be the death of me.

''Right I think I need a drink after that.'' Dianne giggles once we'd ended the video.

''Alright, you go and make yourself one. I'm just going to make a quick phone-call.'' I say, she nods, heading into the kitchen.

Dianne's POV

After I'd gotten my drink, I wait for Joe in the living room. He walks in, not realising I'm there, as I hear him speak.

''It's more than a silly little crush, Zoe.'' He speaks, I sit up. Like a dog intrigued. Who is he talking about? ''I think I'm in love with her,''I stop. He can't be talking about Ambar? We know he's in love with her. ''no Zo I cant, she's with Caspar.'' Oh my god. It's me. He's talking about me.

Joe is in love with me?

He can't be?

Why would he be in love with someone like me? His best friends's girlfriend?

Just then, Joe notices me in the living room. ''Shit, Zoe, I've got to go.'' He hangs up quickly. ''how much of that did you hear?'' Joe asks, scratching his neck nervously.

''Just the part about you being in love with me?'' I question.

''Oh, you heard that?'' I nod.

''Joe, is it true?'' I ask.

''Dianne, I,'' He pauses. ''yeah.'' He says quietly. ''I know you don't feel the same way, which is why I never told yo-'' I interrupt him by putting a finger to his lips.

''Joe, I do feel the same way.'' I admit.

''You do?'' I nod.

''Yes, and I want to be with you. But, I don't want to break Caspar's heart.'' I admit.

''Oh.'' I hear a voice, as I slowly turn around.

''Caspar?'' Joe and I both say.

''Dianne, is this true?'' I nod, not looking at him. ''have you kissed him?''

''No. Caspar I would never cheat. '' I say.

''I knew I was right to not trust you.''

''Casp, mate.'' Joe tries to speak.

''I'm not mad.'' Caspar says, ''if you had let me finish. I was going to say...'' He pauses. ''I knew not to trust you, because I don't trust myself,'' We look at him confused. ''Joe, I'm in love with Ambar, and we er.''

''Spit it out, mate.'' Joe says.

''We kissed last night.''

''WHAT?'' Joe shouted. ''you kissed my girlfriend?''

''Joe, mate I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.'' He pleads.

''You are so patronizing, Caspar. You said you didn't trust me. Yet here you are, telling us you kissed Ambar?!'' I was so upset, and angry at Caspar right now.

''Baba-''

''Don't baba me,'' I say. ''I am so hurt right now, Caspar.''

''I'm sorry. Really I am.'' Caspar says, just as Ambar walks in.

''YOU.'' I shout, as Joe walks towards her.

''Ambar how could you?'' Joe asks, looking hurt.

''Joe I'm sorry. We didn't mean for it to happen. But, we love each other.'' She cries.

''Well, you're welcome to him. We. Are. Done.'' I snarl, as tears fall.

''I hope you two are very happy together. Ambar, we are over.'' He rolls his eyes, ''and I'm moving out.''

''Where will you go?'' He asks. He looks a little lost, and confused.

''With me. I now have enough money, so I can afford to rent my own place.'' I say.

''No we'll rent our own place.'' Joe smiles, looking into my eyes. I smile.

''I don't want to be here anymore. Let's go.'' I say, taking Joe's hand.

''I'll be by later in the week to get my things. Goodbye, bestie.'' Joe said, playing on the word bestie.

Not only had I lost my boyfriend. Joe had lost his best friend.

This was not good.

-A.N. Uh oh! Drama. Do you think Joe will ever forgive Caspar, and become his best friend again?
