"I know I know" I reply to my brother who's nagging at me for the past 20 minutes.

"Lil you need to find someone to come Bali with you" I can hear the stress and annoyance in his voice, I obviously understand how frustrated he must be with me.

"It's not my fault Dylan cheated on me, leaving you to have a spare ticket to your wedding because he's clearly uninvited" i snap whilst I do laps around my bedroom for the whole phone call trying to stop stressing

"I never said it was" he says defending himself

"Okay fuck I'm sorry I'll find someone don't worry" I end the call, angrily brushing a hand through my hair. I didn't mean to snap at him like that but he's acting as if it's my fault Dylan did what he did

"FOR FUCKS SAKE" I scream into my pillow letting the stress flow out of my body, People who say screaming releases stress was so right.

I've been home alone for the past few hours because Blake is at uni today, I have no classes on this day so their was no point in me going in to do nothing at all

my phone buzzes so I look down to see who texted me

Jake: I'm sorry I'm just stressing out because the weddings in a month but please text me as soon as you find someone! x

I read the message and quickly reply with a 'I'll find someone ASAP don't worry' and put my phone back on the table then carry on painting my nails

The front door slams open to reveal Blake, he's wearing a yellow sweater with some black pants to match, he looks like a bumble bee if I'm being honest.

A lightbulb goes off in my mind...why not take Blake to Bali? It's better than going alone or bringing someone I barley know, plus he's my best friend so it'll be really fun.

"Blakkkeeee I have a weird question" I lie flat on my belly watching him throw his backpack onto the floor

"Shoot" he says bringing a bottle of water to his lips his jawline looking sharp as he takes a sip

"Okay it's fine if you don't want to because I totally understand but you know when we were talking about my brother getting married?" I quickly say and he nods "well the wedding is next month in Bali and I was supposed to be going with Dylan because he was my date but he's obviously out the picture now so do you want to go with me? You won't have to pay for anything don't worry"

"I umm...are you sure you want me to go?" He says slowly taking in all my words which I quickly spoke

"100% sure"

"When's the wedding?"

"It's on November 23rd"

"Okay why the fuck not" he shrugs and I run over to him, wrapping my arms around his waist and his body shakes with laughter. He puts his chin on my head and starts swaying side ways so we're both moving

"Just don't get a new bestfriend and cheat on me okay?" I joke about the Dylan situation because what's the point in crying over him when I can joke about it.

"I promise I won't" he chuckles and I release from the hug

"We're going on holiday" I sing whilst doing dumb ass dances in between each word he joins in and copies my dance moves

"And we're going to have the best time!" He responds with a smirk on his lips
