Everything's not what it seems

Dobbys POV
When we got to the hospital, the emergency doctors checked over Livs lungs, and said she was fine to go, she just had to take it easy.

"No updated Egg Olympics for a few weeks." Max sighed.

I started to zone out after that, thinking about the other one, the pain I felt each time an egg hit me. I shivered at the thought of all of it, but it would be funny to do an updated version, maybe even get Dylan in it. He's not really on social media anymore, but we all see him still.

When I 'zoned back in' you could say, we were almost back at my house. Charlotte had fallen asleep on my shoulder. Max slowly lifted Charlotte out, in fear of hurting himself, he still hasn't fully healed from his fiasco in France. The only person he's lifted is Tilly, and even then he's being careful, even if it doesn't look like he is. After Max successfully carried Charlotte to the couch in my living room, I got her a blanket and let her sleep.

"We might come round later, I'll ask Charlotte what she wants to do, when she wakes up. A lot has happened to her today, so I think she needs a good rest." I said, Max nodded and my phone beeped, it was Harvey. Hey Dobs, Liv fell asleep on me so I can't come say bye, I guess having an asthma attack really tires you out. I replied back saying bye, then Max went back for the car.

I sat on the corner chair, watching TikToks, waiting for Charlotte to wake up. "Button get down, you're going to wake Charlotte up, we need to let her sleep." I said trying to shoo him away.

"It's ok, Socks is soft." Charlotte mumbled.

"Who's Socks?" I asked confused.

"Your cat idiot." Charlotte stated bluntly, and half asleep.

"My cats called Button." I said, even more confused.

"Taome stop lying, you have Socks, Nemo and Crumpet." She said, I decided to message Liv, I was really confused.

Me: Hey Liv, I was wondering if your friend Taome has a cat called Socks, random I know.

Liv: Hey Dobs, it's Harvey. Liv didn't wake up when we tried so we took her ours, she must need the sleep and her sister can get really loud and annoying. I'll message Taome in the group chat she's in with them.

After 5 minutes Harvey messaged again.

Liv: yeah Taome has a cat called Socks, also I think Charlotte likes you, her name in Livs phone is Dobbys wife, and Taomes is Dylan's wife.

I laughed reading the message then said to Charlotte. "Char, it's Dobby, not Taome."

"Huh what?" Charlotte asked rubbing her eyes slowly waking up. "Oh hey Dobby, wait Dobby? I thought I was with Taome."

"It was a dream." I said.

"So my house never almost burnt down?" She asked excited. "But then how did I get here?"

"You're house did almost burn down, that's why you're here. The last real thing was Liv almost having an asthma attack." I explained. "She's ok." I added in quickly.

"As long as Livs ok, so what are we gonna do?" She asked.

"How about we go to Max and Harvey's, pick Tom and Caitlin up on the way?" I asked.

"Sure." She said.

"Great, I'll message Max let him know." I said, and sent this to Max: hey, is it ok if we come to yours? Get Tom and Caitlin on the way, we can film the video today.

Max responded saying this: sure, Caitlin's already here and Liv woke up.

I replied saying ok, and messaged Tom. Yo Tommas! Get your shoes on, we're filming THE vid today.

He replied  almost instantly. Never call me Tommas again, and ok, they are going to be so excited!

Me and Charlotte got our shoes on then walked to Toms, Emily opened the door. "Hey Dobby, Dobbys friend." She said.

"Hey Em, this is Charlotte, Charlotte this is Emily."

"Hi." They both said at the same time.

"TOM! Dobby and Charlotte are here!" She shouted upstairs.

"I'm coming!" He shouted back, he ran down the stairs and put his shoes on. "Bye Em." He said as we walked out of his house.

"Today's the best day to film the video because Leo's home for the weekend." I said, smirking.

"What's this video about?" Charlotte asked confused.

"The boy's birthday present." Tom stated bluntly, me, Tom, Paul, Sara, Tilly and Leo were the only ones that knew about it, Liv and Caitlin didn't.

"Their birthday isn't until next month." She said, we just laughed.

"You're gonna have to wait." I laughed.

"Wow, I no longer like you." Charlotte giggled.

"It's fine no one likes him." Tom said laughing, which earned a slap. "I was kidding Dobby jeez." Tom said putting his hands up in surrender, we all burst out laughing.

"Oh, we're here." I said and knocked on the door, Tilly opened the door. "Hey Tilly." I said.

"Hi Dobby, Tom and Charlotte right?" She said.

"Yeah, I'm Charlotte, the one that turned up here this morning because someone gave me the wrong address." Charlotte said, looking at me.

"I'm sorry." I laughed.

"You practically live here, no wonder you gave her our address." Tilly laughed.

"Oh Tilly, I forgot to say, we're filming THE video today." I said emphasising 'the'.

"Yay!" Tilly said and ran off, a few seconds later Max turned up.

"Hey, come in, Tilly's very excited for some reason." He laughed.

"Thanks Max." I said and we all walked in, taking our shoes off.

"Liv, Harvey! We're filming a video soon!" Max shouted to the living room.

"Ok!" Liv shouted back and we walked into the living room, they never saw us. "Right you need to stop sulking, just because I beat you at Wii bowling." She laughed, Harvey just sulked even more. "Right, before we start filming, go put a top on that matches your trousers, or trousers that match your top." Liv laughed.

"Fine, but can I wear my chain? Em and Kimberly told me guys look good in chains." He asked excitedly.

"Is it your harmonica one?" Liv asked.

"Maybe." Harvey muttered.

"Harv, listen to me, guys look good in chains, just not when there's a harmonica attached to it. They look worse when they try to play and fail." She laughed, and so did the rest of us. "Oh hey everyone." She laughed.

"Hi." We all said.

"In all honesty Harvey, Liv has a point, your outfit clashed in the bake-off, just no one had the guts to tell you." Tom laughed. "At least someone told you this time so you will look respectable."

"Ok, ok, I get it. I'll go get changed now." Harvey laughed and ran upstairs.
