~Happier With Him~

Reid's POV

[I was right..? I was joking when I said that.. I honestly thought she felt something towards me. Well, we probably wouldn't have worked out anyways..]

Angie's POV

Reid-(whispers) Are you sure?

Me-(whispers) Mhm.. Especially after the way I felt when Natalie said she was going to run off with you during the party..

Reid-(whispers) Well, glad that didn't happen..

[We chuckle silently]

Reid-(whispers) Why are you telling me this though?

Me-(whispers) If I told the girls, they would make a huge deal about it..

[He smiles and he checks his phone]

Reid-(whispers) It's getting late.. You gonna head back to Julia's room?

Me-(whispers) Well.. I don't want to disturb anyone, so.. Could I stay here?

Reid-(whispers) ..Yeah, uh.. You can have the bed. I'll sleep on the floor.

[He stands up, grabs a blanket, and tosses it to me, while grabbing a pillow for himself. He grabs the blanket on the bed and sets up a space for him to lay down. He turns off the lamp as I cover myself with the blanket he gave me and lay down]

Reid-(whispers) Night, Angie..

Me-(whispers) Night..

[I shut my eyes and start drifting off to sleep]

———

Julia- Angie!

[I feel my face get smashed with a pillow. I groan and push the pillow off of me. I sit up and see Julia looking at me angrily]

Me- Why are you looking at me like that..?

Julia- Hmm. I don't know. Maybe it's because I FOUND YOU SLEEPING IN MY BROTHER'S BED!!

[Fuck. I forgot about that. I stare at her, unable to say anything to defend myself]

Julia- ..Why didn't you tell me you felt that way about Reid?

Me- I don't feel anything like that towards him!

[She raises her eyebrow]

Me- Julia, nothing is going on between us.

Julia- Then, why have I seen you hugging him and you guys flirting with each other?

Me- We've only hugged twice and we don't flirt with each other.

Julia- He pouted at you at my party, you hang out with him while I'm sleeping, and I found you asleep in his bed! It's obvious you two like each other!

[I look at her unable to respond]

Julia- ..Just tell me that you like him.. I'll be okay with it.. You're my best friend after all..

Me- ..But I don't.. I like Tom..

[She looks at me in shock]

Julia- I.. FUCKING KNEW IT!!

[She shakes me excitedly]

Julia- YOU LIKE TOM!

Me- Yeah, but I have to stop these feelings from going any further..
