Matilda's POV

I was really mean to Zoe and I didn't mean to say any of it, I guess I was just jealous of her, she had it all. A loving sister, an amazing boyfriend and great friends, I wanted her life, or at least apart of her life and being rude wasn't going to get me anywhere.

I sat down on the stairs outside Dan and Phil's apartment and Phil came and sat next to me.
"You okay?" He asked, I shrugged. "Why'd you tell Dan about that? I thought you weren't going to."
"I don't know, I guess I was just a teeny bit jealous," I said, he chuckled. "Come on, aren't you a bit jealous of Dan?"
"Yeah, of course, everyone likes him especially Zoe," He said, I leaned my head on his shoulder and he put his arm around me. "But, it doesn't matter because we're best friends, would you ever even consider being friends with Zoe?"
"It's hard not to, she's so goddamn nice and friendly and little miss perfect," I spat out.
"Zoe has been hurt in ways you might not understand and she isn't perfect, no one is, but she does try to be the best she can be. Zoe gave you a place to stay maybe you should consider being nicer to her," He got up. "Come on, let's go inside and see what Dan and Zoe are doing," We went back inside to see Dan and Zoe making out, Phil wolf whistled and they instantly parted, blushing.
"Getting it on where we eat? Damn, you're dirty," I said and sat down.
"Well, I'll probably be hearing moans in the night and not because of ghosts," Phil said, making me laugh, Zoe looked really uncomfortable.
"Phil, can I speak to you?" Dan asked, Phil nodded and they left the room, Zoe came to sit next to me.
"So...have you and Dan done the nasty yet?" I asked, she shook her head, blushing a lot. "Really? Well...does Dan want to?"
"I don't know, he's alright with me not being ready yet, I think," She said, I patted her on the shoulder.
"I'm sure he is, you can see that look in his eyes whenever he looks at you, he'd wait forever and a day for you," I said, she smiled, looking genuinely happy.
"I hope you're right, I mean, it's not like I don't want to..." She trailed off and I nudged her.
"You dirty girl!" I said. "Let me guess, you're not ready for that level of intimacy yet," She nodded. "See, I'm experienced when it comes to these sort of things, relationships I mean, not the nasty."

Dan and Phil came back in a while afterwards and sat down in silence.
"So...what did you guys talk about?" I asked, Phil shrugged and I looked at Dan. "What did you say, Dan?"
"Nothing, really," He said.
"It really was nothing," Phil said.
"Really? Just tell us," I moaned, Dan sighed.
"Fine, I'll tell you, if you don't mind Zoe," Zoe looked up, clearly confused and Dan whispered something into her ear, she blushed and nodded. "Okay, so, basically, Zoe and I haven't...done anything yet and we haven't discussed it and I'm not pressuring her into anything, so it's kind of a touchy subject."
"Is that all?" I asked, they all looked at me. "ALL couples have sex issues in the relationship at some point, once you fuck it'll be fine."
"If Zoe isn't ready, we won't do anything," Dan said and held Zoe's hand.
"Awww, you're so sweet Dan," I said, fangirling about the whole situation. "I wish I had a boyfriend like you."
"You'll find someone," Phil said.
"Thanks Phil, I'm glad someone cares," He hugged me.
"Don't worry, lots of people care about you." He said and let go of me.
"I wish," I muttered.
