Your POV

Alex had invited me over to watch movies with him and Jack. They were two of my very best friends, so I didn’t mind having fun with them. They were both really flirty whenever I went over there, but I assumed that they did that with all their friends. Rian and Zack were never overly nice like Jack and Alex were, but I guess that was the norm.

I drove to Alex’s place and was just in my pyjamas with my hair up. I wore a little bit of makeup because I never really liked going out without at least a little bit of eyeliner on. I parked the car and wandered to Alex’s front door. I rang the doorbell because I really wasn’t one of those people who could walk in. I like to consider myself kind of like a vampire.

I expected Alex to open it, you know, since it was his house, but I guess Jack beat him to it. The door opened and the tall familiar black haired string bean greeted me.

“You look beautiful tonight, Y/N” Jack smiled.

“You are extra cheesy tonight, Jack,” I giggled. I pushed past him to get in the house. I never took their compliments seriously, they were my best friends.

“Ah, Jack!” Alex called from the kitchen. “I wanted to be the one to let her in, it’s my house!”

“Too slow, bro.” Jack called back, not taking his eyes off me.

“Am I underdressed or something?” I looked down at my clothes then at Jack’s. He looked a lot nicer than I did.

“Nah, I just felt like being casually fancy today.” He winked at me and I just shrugged. I went to go on the couch, and waited for Alex to return before the movie went on. Jack turned off the lights, and it gave me a feeling that this was setting the mood. I don’t know what mood it was setting, but there was something.

Alex came into the room holding a plate with food on it. It was around dinner time, and my stomach was empty so I was grateful. He came and sat down in between me and Jack, even though there wasn’t a whole lot of room.

“Alex, what the hell?” Jack half laughed half scoffed. Was he really upset? I don’t know I can’t ever tell.

“I just wanted to sit next to my favorite person is all,” Alex grinned at him, a little too evilly.

I “awed” at his statement, and I think Jack glared at him for a split second. It was dark, but I could see it was there.

Alex put the food he made on the coffee table in front of us. “I made it because I knew it was your favorite, Y/N,” Alex told me.

I smiled and said thank you, but Jack rolled his eyes. Was there something going on that I didn’t know about?

“Alright, this is going to bother me all day if we don’t sort this out now,” I announced, looking at both of them. I stood up and sat between them so they could both look at me.

They peered at each other and looked down at me. “What?” They both said in synchronization.

“You know what, there’s this weird tension between you two, you need to sort it out.”

“I think you’re imagining things, Y/N, me and Jack are totally cool with each other, let’s just pick a movie,” Alex told me.

“Yeah, Alex is right, we’re completely fine,” Jack told me, with a little less confidence. Is there something I don’t know about?

Whatever it is, I’m sure I’ll find it out sooner or later. I didn’t want to choose which one I’d put my head on, so I just tried to be straight up while the movie was playing. At some point I must have fallen asleep.

Jack’s POV

Y/N had fallen asleep, and Alex and I were still up. I have a thing for Y/N, and told him that before she had become good friends with the rest of our band. I’ve liked her ever since we started talking. Ever since last month though, Alex had been a part of this game too, and it was really starting to piss me off.

I’ve done everything I could to get Y/N to notice I liked her. I’ve bought her flowers on no special occasion, gave her things, complimented her, but she’s just so oblivious, nothing is going to get past her. Not unless I tell her straight out. Which won’t happen with Alex interfering all the damn time.

Y/N’s head fell on my shoulder and I smiled to myself. For once, I had won. Alex looked over at us, and glared at me. Dude what the fuck? he mouthed to me. I just shrugged my shoulders, and continued watching with a smug grin on my face.

He texted me and told me to meet him in the back room, and after awhile, I finally did. I moved Y/N’s head so that she was comfortable lying where I had been sitting. It was hard to move her, because she looked so happy next to me, but I guess Alex wanted to talk about something important.

I got to where he was and he smacked me on the arm. “Dude, what the fuck?” I whisper-shouted.

“Exactly what I’d say to you,” He spat back.

“What the fuck are you talking about?”

“Y/N? Her? Yeah the girl in my house that I invited?”

“What about her?”

“Do you need glasses, Jack? Jesus Christ, I have a fucking crush on her!”

“So, why does that consider me?”

“Because her head was on your shoulder, and I wanted it on mine.”

“I didn’t choose which direction she put her head on.”

“You could have pushed her off.”

Now I was getting pissed. “Dude!” I shouted at him. I was done whispering.Fuck it if she hears me. “I liked her first. I told you I liked her first. You can’t just get mad at me for not pushing her off because you happen to have a thing for her? That’s fucking unfair!”

“Whatever, so you liked her first, but I invited her here.”

“That doesn’t matter, you douche. It’s whatever she wants!”

“Guys, Jesus, calm down!” Y/N shouted from the door. Looks like we woke her up. “Damn, you woke me up from my nap. What the fuck are you yelling at.”

Alex and I both looked at each other. I looked away and he looked straight back at her. “Y/N, which of us do you like more?” he asked her.

“What?” He repeated the question, and she raised her eyebrows. “I like you both equally.”

“No, I mean if you had to choose between one of us.”

“You guys are both my friends, why do I have to choose?”

“He means if you were to choose one of us to date, who would you choose,” I spoke up. Alex nodded.

“What the fuck kind of question is that?” She laughed a little bit, but more out of frustration than anything else.

“Look, Y/N, we both really like you, more than friends, and he wants to know who you’d choose.”

She stared at both of us, then laughed a bit. “That’s what this was all about? Damn, why couldn’t you have told me that before.”

“I tried, you didn’t get the hint,” I told her. Alex looked over at me. He sighed and just ran his hand through his hair.

“You know,” he starts after a while. “I don’t want this to get in the way of our friendship. I’m sorry, Y/N, I didn’t mean to wake you.” He looks over at me with apologetic eyes. “Sorry dude, I forgot how much you liked her. You can have her.”

He walked out and that just left Y/N and I awkwardly standing there. Now that she knew, what was going to happen to me.

“I’m sorry, Y/N I didn’t really mean for you to find out this way. I-” Before I could say anything else, she pressed her lips to mine, and it was everything I wanted it to be.

After she pulled away, she gazed up into my eyes, and I did down to hers. “If you want the truth, you should know that I would’ve picked you anyway,” she whispered to me. I smiled at her, grateful for her words. “Though I had absolutely no idea, I thought you were just doing those things for fun, but it was those things that you did that made me develop feelings for you anyway.” I grinned wider than I ever had with her, and brought her in for another kiss. Finally, I could call her mine.

Notes

AN- Sorry for not posting this last night like I was supposed to, my mom dragged me to hot yoga and I passed out as soon as I got home. It was hard and I died, but I’m alive today, so new imagine coming your way! This took a bit longer than I intended, but people invited me out for once so, there’s that. The conversation is between Jack and Alex, and I’m sorry that Alex was such a dick for most of this. It was the only way I could justify Y/N picking Jack over him without feeling bad. Enjoy my lovelies xx
