Joe's POV

Tyler.

Do people not check the time or?

"Hi Joe," Tyler said excitedly.

"Hi," I gave him a hug and invited him inside. He set his bags down where Zoe and Alfie's stuff where.

He gasped, "Oh, so I'm not the only one!"

"What?"

"Basically what happened was-"

He was cut off by Caspar giving him a huge hug.

Tyler squealed, "You're crushing my insides!"

"Oh, sorry!"

Caspar set him down and Tyler fixed his hair.

"Tyler?" Zoe asked, walking into the room.

"Little black dress just walked into the room, yas!" Tyler yelled giddily and gave Zoe a hug.

Zoe screamed, "Yas!"

I'm gonna puke.

"I hear screaming," Alfie said as he, too, walked into the room.

"Oh, Tyler! You're here!" He exclaimed.

"You know it," Tyler said while striking a pose.

"Why're you here so early?" Caspar asked.

"Funny story, I thought the invitation said 4, not 5," He explained.

"How'd you get that messed up? It clearly says 5," I pointed out.

Tyler fake-laughed, "Oh you know..."

Zoe and Alfie exchanged looks.

What's going on? Has the world gone mad? Just as I was about to ask, the doorbell rang.

If it's Troye, I swear to god.

"I got it!" Caspar yelled.

He opened the door, it was just the pizza man. As he conversed with him, I turned to the others.

"Okay, so what time is it?"

Alfie checked his watch, "Now, it's 5."

"Oh, well I wasn't to far off then!" Tyler exclaimed.

"But, if you meant to come at 4, and you arrived like, 10 minutes before 5, weren't you pretty far off?" I asked.

"It's always good to be fashionably late," He said mischievously.

What?

Caspar closed the door with his free hand as he tried to juggle all 5 pizza boxes in his hands.

Wait, 5 pizza boxes?

"Caspar! Why'd you get so much pizza?!" I cried.

"There's a lot of us, duh," He said as if it was the most blatantly obvious thing on Earth.

"Caspar-"

Tyler clapped his hands, "Ooh! Pizza!"

He took the boxes from Caspar's hands and went into the kitchen.

Why is everyone being so-

The doorbell rang again. This was a horrible idea.

I opened the door, this time it was Louise.

She gasped, "Joe! It's been 84 years!"

She gave me a huge hug before scrambling inside in her dainty high-heels.
