Marley

Hadley and I walked a few blocks over back to our hotel. Our walk consisted of us talking about old memories from when we were younger all the way till now. I was absolutely so thankful for her. She's been my absolute best friend through thick and thin. And I have been there for her as well.

"So Marley, saw you giving googly eyes at the employee in that video shop. What's his name? Henry?" Hadley looked at me with a knowing look, wiggling her eyebrows up and down.

"What? You mean Harry? Haha I guess he seems like a nice guy? I'm not sure I just met him."

"Marley, the guy is going to teach you guitar, if you help him with video games, and you just met him."

"Well it doesn't matter anyway. I have Ben still."

By this time we were in the hotel lobby making our way to the elevator. Once we got there we made our way up.

"Just because you have Ben does not mean Harry is unattractive. He was so into you!"

"Hadley I'm not saying he's ugly. I'm saying that I have a boyfriend," I told her while I was opening our hotel room door.

"Well speaking of that boyfriend of yours, where is he?"

I don't think Hadley has ever taken a liking to Ben honestly. She told me when we first started dating about how there were rumors about him being abusive and cheating. As far as I've seen he's a total sweetheart. Yes, he may get a little possessive but I think most boys do. Right?

"Um, that's a good question. He said he was staying here all day?"

"I'm not sure. Want to play some Mario Kart in the meantime and order takeout?"

"Sounds good to me."

And that's exactly what we did.

_____________

It was around midnight and me and Hadley have played many games of Mario Kart and watched two movies: High School Musical and The Little Mermaid.

I was slowly dozing off to sleep with the movie credits playing in the background. I was spread out on the couch, while Hadley was on the ground twisted in blankets and passed out. I was still thinking about everything. I was in London with my best friend and boyfriend, who still has not returned from wherever he was. I fell asleep wondering what is going on.

I woke up in the middle of the night to the door opening and in stumbling what looked like a drunk Ben. After he passed I checked my phone. It was about three in the morning. Ben was definitely drunk. Which is kind of awkward thinking about; what goes through his mind to want to get drunk without friends? I checked my phone again one more time secretly wishing that Harry had texted me. Unfortunately he hadn't, so I just closed my eyes and that was enough to put me back into a deep sleep.

A/n: sorry it's short I'm on my iPod :// I'll write longer chapters once the story is more developed :))
