"Are you gonna tell me now?" Willam asked as she sat down in the empty seat opposite me.
"Tell you what?"
"Why the fuck you booked into a hotel?"
"I didn't want to be a burden to Sharon and Chad."
"They're both nice people, they both like you."
"I know they're nice people."
"Hey." I looked up at Trixie and smiled.
"Hi."
"I'm getting three lattes." Willam stated as she got up.
"Alright." Trixie replied as she sat down next to me. Willam disappeared inside the coffee shop and I turned to Trixie. "Help me."
"With what?"
"I had to get out of Aaron's house, I was getting too comfy around him."
"We love a couple reunited."
"Shut up, it's never gonna happen, she's happy with Chad and they've already lasted longer than we did."
"She was bummed when she moved and left you."
"Mhm."
"It could happen, you never know."
"It wouldn't, why would it?"
"So, you do still like her?"
"No, why would you think that?"
"It's obvious."
"No it's not."
"It was bound to happen."
"What?"
"One of you missing what you had."
"Yeah, and I'm pissed that it's me."
"I love Sharon with Chad, but I love you two together."
"You do?"
"Yeah."
"Maybe you should try make Sharon jealous?"
"I'm not coming between them, I'm just gonna leave it."
"What are you leaving?" Willam asked as she placed the tray of drinks on the table.
 "Nothing."

That evening I found myself sat at on the floor Aaron's house with Aaron, Chad, Willam, Courtney, Katya, and Trixie playing truth or dare. "Carry on without me." I said as I got up.
"Where are you going?" Willam asked.
"Just to the bathroom." I excused myself and headed upstairs to the bathroom. I did my business and washed my hands before opening the door to find Aaron stood there. "Oh."
"Can we talk?"
"I don't think now is the right time."
"We still need to talk."
"Do we? I mean I'll be going home at the end of the week and you won't have to see me again."
"What happens if I want to see you again?"
"You won't." I said before turning away and heading downstairs where I took my seat between Trixie and Willam. A short while later Aaron re-joined the group. "Alaska, truth or dare?" Trixie asked. "Dare." I replied. Trixie thought for a while before smirking.
"I dare you to sit on another person's lap for the rest of the game."
"That's easy." I said as I stood up.
"Hold on, I get to choose."
"Fine, go ahead."
"You have to sit on Sharon's lap." I looked at Aaron and gulped, he just shrugged and patted his lap. I sighed and sat down on his lap and he placed his hands on my waist. I stared and Trixie who was laughing.
The game carried on for an hour and by the end I was fully leaning against Aaron's chest and his arms we right around me. I got up and pulled Aaron up before heading into the kitchen where Trixie was. "You two looked cosy."
"I hate you so much."
"No, you love me... a lot."
"I told Aaron I didn't want to get attached and now he wants to talk."
