Disclaimer: I found McFly the other day, and they now live under my bed as my personal slaves. hehehe.. oh, and then I woke up and realised I only own characters that aren't McFly and the plot. :(
Danny and me spent the rest of the day doing nothing special – just wandering around the local park, chatting. We were sitting on a bench watching the world pass us by when I received a text from Sophia.
Hey. You guys made up yet? X
Danny read the text over my shoulder (an annoying trait I noticed he'd kept from when we were younger) and grinned at me, I replied quickly.
Yeah, it's all good. (: x
A few minutes later it buzzed again, I sighed, opening the text. If she was so keen for us to make up, why couldn't she just leave us alone to sit and talk?
Fancy coming out tonight? Ask Danny too - Doug and the guys said they'll go if he does. I wanna party before I have to go back to work. :p x
I replied quickly, asking if I could go round hers to get ready (I had a feeling she might want to hear what had happened with me, Danny and 'the talk') and if Claire could join us. Even though she lectured me this morning, I couldn't help but feel guilty at my hasty exit this morning when I knew she was only trying to help. And perhaps she would see that Danny and me are friends again, making her realise guys could be alright, sometimes.

Me, Sophia and Claire sat on Sophia's king-sized bed, surrounded by makeup and hair products, talking about today's events. Claire had been fine about me storming out before, as soon as she realised there was gossip and dancing involved. There must have been a lovestruck-teenager sort of tone to my voice as I described mine and Danny's walk through the park, because Claire gasped, and asked me in an urgent voice, "Ohmigod – do you fancy Danny? Did you used to have 'a thing'? What happened?"
I shook my head at her and delivered the usual, "Ew, no. He's like my brother." line, ignoring Sophia's knowing smirk. She was the only person that knew – and that was only because it slipped when I was telling her about Danny, I hadn't really imagined either of us would see him again, so at the time it didn't really matter.
We heard the door open downstairs, and the guys voices shouting to let us know they had arrived. I put the final touches to everyones makeup, and the others went downstairs as I finished straightening my hair. There were echo's of laughter and beers being opened from downstairs, when suddenly, the door opened. It was Danny, looking surprised to find someone standing there as he walked in the room.
"Oh, so this isn't the bathroom then?" I grinned.
"I would imagine not, as there is no toilet…"
He made to leave, then paused and turned around again.
"You look really nice tonight, by the way." Inside my heart exploded, until my brain brought me back to my senses. He's complimenting you as a friend, Jenna. Honestly, he must say it to everyone. Get over it already. Feeling slightly embarrassed at totally overreacting, I just smiled and muttered "Thanks, you too." And left the room.
Downstairs, there was already a party in full swing, and we hadn't even left the house yet. Everyone was laughing, as Tom ate a slice of Smartie-covered pizza as a dare, decided he actually liked it and finished the slice. I wondered how much they had had to drink already, or if they were simply like this all the time. Noticing Claire and Sophia talking to a girl I didn't know in the kitchen, I walked over to introduce myself. "Jen!" called Sophia, beckoning me over. "This is Marie, Tom's girlfriend." She smiled at me shyly, and raised a hand. I smiled back at her, "Hey. I'm Jenna."
" I know, Danny told us about you." I was starting to feel more and more guilty by the minute for being mad at Danny before, and had to remind myself a few times that we were friends again. We continued the small talk until Danny returned from the toilet and the guys called us from the hall, telling us they were ready.
"So, where are we headed?" I asked, to be answered by shrugs.
Claire chipped in, "Well, there's a new club near us that opened a few days ago? I heard it's awesome."
"Yeah, but that's like, ages away from our house." Harry added. I avoided his eyes, not sure what was going on between us. We had kissed, definitely; there had been witnesses (although Danny seemed to prefer not mentioning anything), and although I couldn't remember a thing, I wasn't sure if Harry could or not.
"If you need you can crash at ours? There's tonnes of space." Claire to the rescue again. The others nodded at her idea and headed outside as the taxi pulled up. The journey was hilarious, all eight of us were jammed into one taxi like sardines in a tin. We arrived at the club in high spirits and headed inside.
The night was spent dancing, laughing and drinking (although I decided to tone down how much I had, due to the effects of the last time…). By one or two, most of us had had enough and decided it was time to head home. Everyone was waiting by the door for the taxi, except for Danny and Claire. I wandered through the crowds, searching for them, when my eyes fell on a kissing couple. Danny and Claire. I stood, stunned, for a few seconds as my mind processed what I was seeing. Danny. Claire. Kissing in the middle of the dance floor. I wasn't sure what to make of it, my mind still wasn't functioning right after the shock, and then I realised. This is how Danny must have felt, seeing one of his best friends and me the other night. Guilt washed over me as I wondered what the hell I was going to do next.
Ten whole chapters.. feels epic. (i know there's fics with about 40 chaps, but this is epic for me, i'm usually crap at keeping things up. :P)
