danis p.o.v:
once i arrived back in my apartment i picked up my phone before leaving again. i made my way to the lift and going up five floors. i stopped at a door that had 'L1587' on the front.

i didn't hesitate to constantly bang on the door.
bang bang bang bang

"come on you can't be asleep" i complained before banging again.
bang bang bang

"wake up wake up wake up" my knocking became more and more louder
bang bang ba—

"are you fucking serious right now" the door opened to see the blondie himself in nothing but his boxers and his hands rubbing his eyes as he spoke,

"you took your time" i walked past him and into his apartment and into his kitchen,

"just come on in" reece made a sarcastic comment turning on his heel shutting the door behind him. he saw me raiding his cupboards, "whats wrong dani?" reece questioned running his hands through his hair before putting both elbows on his breakfast bar watching me go back and forth around his kitchen,

"where do you keep your popcorn?" i asked shutting and opening cupboards,

"i don't have any packets left me and hannah ate the last packet the last time she came round" reece explained causing me to get more frustrated,

"you're joking me right?" i stopped and looked at reece to see him shake his head, i moaned again until i realised i had a secret stash in his kitchen i put there a few months ago. i climbed up on his kitchen bench reaching the top of the cupboard,

"what are you— hey!" he watched me jump down, "how longs that been there"

"four weeks?" i shrugged putting a packet into a bowl before getting his milk carton out of his fridge and heading into his room.

i sat with my legs crossed on his bed turning on his tv to turn the channel from comedy central to disney channel where an episode of suite life of zac and cody was playing. reece slowly walked in watching me from the door frame,

"okay so it's nearly 2am you've just knocked on my door and you've took popcorn, milk, and you're watching disney channel..." he pointed to each object as he said it, "blake" he quickly discovered what was wrong by the things i was doing. "blake" reece said whilst he sat down next to me, "what's he done?" he took a handful of popcorn shoving it in his mouth.

"nothing" i shook my head before shoving popcorn into my mouth, "w-why would you say that?"

"because when he followed you on instagram again after you soft blocked him you erm caused a mess with the popcorn"

walking into reeces apartment i saw george and reece sat in the living room both on their phones. i walked straight past them, ignoring them both whilst they greeted me.

i began mumbling to myself as i raided reeces cupboards to find his popcorn. i felt a hand on my shoulder and a voice saying my name shortly after,

"whats wrong?" george said,

"blake" i said, "just him. he decides to realise that he doesn't follow me on instagram anymore because i blocked him and after fucking up my life he decides to follow me to fuck it up even more!" i said trying to open the popcorn packet,

"well i think we just just calm down" reece said trying to take the packet of popcorn out my hand, "here i'll open it" he said but i refused

"no" i said grunting trying my best to open it, "i'm fi—" and all of a sudden the popcorn opened but went everywhere.

"and that my friend is why we should all calm down" george put both of his hands on my shoulders as i sighed,

"i need to calm down" i sighed again, "can i have some milk please" i smiled at reece as he gave me the carton in his fridge.

"i don't remember sorry" i shrugged continuing to eat the popcorn.

"what did he do?" he asked and i ignored him, "dani, what has he done?" i ignored him again and he took the bowl away from me standing up on his bed with the bowl above his head, "danielle ball, tell me now" he demanded. i gave in,

"if i tell you will you give me the popcorn back?" i looked at him and he nodded sitting back down, "about a solid 15 minutes ago he erm... showed up here"

"wait like in london?" reece asked, "because he's fully moved here like permanently, well like for now. if that's the case dani you can't jus—" i cut him off,

"no reece" i caught his attention, "blake about 15 minutes ago was downstairs in the lobby and asked to stay with me for a while" he sighed.

"i just don't see why he would ask to stay when he has a perfectly good place to be at?" george questioned himself as he fiddled with the slightly bitten straw of his drink.

last night i fell asleep in reeces bed. we didnt really mind, it happens a lot and hannah, reeces girlfriend, doesn't mind either she's quite chill and laidback because she knows reece is bang in love with her.

george told me he knew about blake coming to see me when i told him. i don't know how but i didn't want to ask so i just assumed it was reece. george found blake on his sofa that morning.

"i don't know" i shrugged, "i feel pathetic you know" george furrowed his eyebrows and clocked his head in confusion signalling me to tell him why, "because i'm still bothered about what he said to me back in LA and i'm still counting how many days i've went out seeing him. it was 2 years, 4 months and 18 days but he broke that streak, now we're back to day one" i took a sip of my drink,

"but you were going to have to see him sometime soon dan" george said and i slightly agreed,

"i know but i wasn't expecting it that soon" i looked at him and there was this silence but it was comfortable there was always moments like this, "does he erm... ever talk about me?" i asked.

i've never asked that, i've never wanted to but i've always wanted to know. i bet george and reece never said because they wanted me to forget about it all i guess.

"yeah he does" he began fiddling with his straw again, "most of the time actually" my face kind of relaxed right at that moment along with my heart breaking when he said that.

i shook my head snapping me out of that phase. i had to remember that it had been too long to dig myself back into that situation.

but sometimes i felt like i was in too deep.

i'm in too deep can touch the bottom with my feet dunno whatcha did to me but i'm living .
