~Ben's P.O.V~
We followed Becky all the way to her house. I watched her get out and Freddie followed in behind her. There's a park opposite her house, so me and Joe sat underneath one of the trees where she can't see us, but we have a perfect view of her front door.

"So... what exactly are we doing?" Joe asked putting his bag down.

"Becky ditched us for Jack Prenter." I said.

"Oh..." Joe said.

"I know."

"How long are we gonna stay here? I'm hungry." He said. I rolled my eyes and laughed.

"You just ate!" I said.

"I know, but it was only a small cake." He responded. I sighed and crossed my arms.

"Well, we can stay until she goes out."

"But she's watching a movie with Freddie and Jim..."

"Have you not realised? She's lying so she can go out with Jack!" I said.

"Ooh!" Joe said, I shook my head and got comfortable. We're probably gonna be here a while.

3 HOURS LATER

~Becky's P.O.V~
"I'm going to get changed." I hoisted myself up off the couch and Dad helped by pushing my arse.

"Dad!" I yelled laughing. He giggled and folded his arms, turning up the TV. I didn't tell him I've got a date, he'd skin me alive. I just said I'm going out with the guys. But to be honest, I kinda feel bad for ditching them. We can do it another time, I am allowed to go out with someone other than them.

I went into my bedroom and began ratching through my clothes. I didn't want to look like a slut, but I also didn't want to look like I didn't care about how I looked. Plus, it's cold outside. So I grabbed a long-sleeved black and white stripy t-shirt, it was pretty tight but I think it's supposed to be, and a pair of black skinny jeans. I tucked my top into them and put a belt through the loops. Then, I grabbed a £50 note off my table and put it in my pocket.

"Where are you off to?" Jim asked as I hopped downstairs.

"I'm going out with Ben and Joe." I said grabbing my shoes.

"Oh, ok. Well be back by 10 and be careful, okay?" He said. I smiled and nodded, giving him a side hug as I went into the living room. Dad was asleep on the couch, in the same position I left him in, but Jim covered him up with a blanket.

"Try not to disturb him, okay? He's not feeling well." Jim said. I nodded and kissed his forehead, pulling the blanket up further.

"Right, I'm going then." I said smiling. Jim smiled and hugged me tightly.

"Be careful, darling. We love you." He said.

"I love you both as well." I responded letting go.

"Have you got enough money?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"Alright, bye, love."

"Bye, Jim." I hopped down the steps in front of our house and waved at Jim, who was standing at the door.

~Ben's P.O.V~
I... might have been wrong about Becky. It's been three hours and she hasn't came out. Joe fell asleep a while ago, eating a cake I gave him, I just left him to sleep.

Just as I gave up hope, her door opened. She hopped down the steps and waved to Jim who was standing at the door.

"Joe!" I said sapping his face.

"Huh?!" Joe said sitting up. He was covered in crumbs and had icing around his mouth.

"Come on." I pointed at her and stood up, Joe held his arm out so I grabbed it and hoisted him up.

"Are we just going to follow her?" Joe asked. I nodded as I looked both ways so we don't get fucking ran over.

We followed her for about 15 minutes, at a far enough distance so she wouldn't see us, to a Costa. We can't go in, no doubt she'll see us, but, thankfully, there's a subway directly opposite.

"Thank god. I'm going for some food. What do you want?" Joe asked.

"Just a packet of crisps and a bottle of coke." I said, still staring out the window. Joe nodded and walked off, so I went and sat down. I can just about see Becky, she's sitting on those comfy chairs next to the window.

I laid back and crossed my arms, it feels good to sit down in a mildly comfortable chair, instead of getting a numb arse and sore back because of a tree.

Joe came back with his sandwich, and my crisps and coke.

"Anything happened?" He asked. I shook my head as I opened my coke.

"Not yet." I responded.

We sat and joked for a while, it was great fun, but I looked outside and saw Jack walking towards Costa.

"Joe!" I punched his arm and pointed at them.

"Ow!" Joe rubbed his arm and I felt kinda bad.

"Sorry, but look," I said. Joe leaned over me and looked out the window.

"I knew it!" He yelled. I shook my head and laughed, eating my crisps.

They sat and talked for about an hour, laughing and being stupid. It makes me sad how she couldn't have just said she had a date, so she had to make up an excuse to not go out with us.

But eventually, some moustached man beeped outside so Jack got up and hugged Becky, they stayed like that for a few seconds, but then, he kissed her. He... kissed... her.

She got all smiley and giddy, then got up and walked out. Me and Joe just sat there, we didn't say a word.

"Um..." Joe said. I turned and looked at him.

"What the fuck?!" He said laughing. I snickered and looked outside. Becky's gone, and me and Joe are left alone in a subway.

A/N Sorry this chapter is also crap, I didn't have a lot of time to write it because I'm currently in London on a school trip. But I come back tomorrow and then I've only got a week of school left until I finish! So I'll update as often as possible but I am going to Greece for two weeks but I'll keep you all updated on my Instagram @ sweetlady_freddie

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed 🖤
