Here's chapter 5

It was early morning, too early if you asked Dan, who was standing against his locker yawning, obviously struggling after his late night with Beth. He had really enjoyed it, not wanting it to end. They both stayed awake until the early hours talking to each other.

"So you enjoyed last night?" Asked Lewis, feeling equally as tried as Dan seemed, but determined not to show him that.

"It was great, Beth is brilliant" he sighed.

Lewis sat down tiredly and rolled his eyes, "you've got it bad."

"Oh yeah? What about you and Honey? You both looked cosy last night."

"Shut up," Lewis tutted "How was Will this morning? He looked rough last night." He asked, changing the subject before he blushed at the mention of him and Honey.

"I don't know. I stayed over at Beth's last night" Dan admitted, feeling guilty that he hadn't even thought about how Will was. "It was late so I slept on her sofa," he added quickly, with a shrug of his shoulders as he saw Lewis raise his eyebrows. Dan felt terrible, he should have checked Will was ok after he was so quiet yesterday, they had barely said two words to each other.

In the other locker room Beth sat down on the bench next to her locker, smiling. Last night had been great, she felt as if she had really made a connection with Dan.

Emma felt confused. She knew she had to try and work out how she felt about Will. It was not fair to keep him hanging on like this, making him feel as if he had a chance. But did he have a chance? Was she going to be able to let him in? All the questions were making her head spin and she leant forward head in hands, trying to stop dwelling on these thoughts.

"Well someone looks hung-over" chirped Honey as she breezed into room.

"Shut up." Emma mumbled, she wasn't hung-over, she was just thinking. But it was easier to let Honey think she had a headache than tell her the mixed up feelings swirling inside of her.

Will entered the station 15 minutes later than he usually did, he felt awful. Despite having a good nights sleep, he still felt like he had no energy. His head throbbed painfully, as if someone with a hammer was hitting it on the inside, and the lights of the station only seemed to make it worse. I'm either getting that bug or a migraine, Thought Will as another wave of nausea washed over him.

"Hey mate, are you okay?" Asked a concerned Micky, taken back out how generally unwell Will looked. He seemed to walk as if his body was made out of lead.

"Fine" Will lied, not wanting any fuss.

Micky raised his eyebrows at Nikki, who was standing behind the desk, not believing that Will was alright, he certainly didn't look it. Nikki looked just a sceptical and watched Will walk away before turning back to paper work, concern in her eyes.

Will sighed heavily as he walked into the locker room wishing he had called in sick. His head hurt the most out of his aching body and the bright lights in the locker room only aggravated his headache further.

Lewis and Dan were still in the busy locker room, waiting until the very last moment they had to leave the room and start work. They were enjoying the relaxed atmosphere before heading out to face the day ahead, which was sure to be hectic.

Lewis turned around at the sound of the door opening and was shocked at how ill Will looked, "Whoa! Shouldn't you have called in sick?" He asked him.

"Yes he should have." Agreed Dan.

Will only rolled his eyes, too tired and sick to re -assure everyone that he was alright, after all it seemed obvious he wasn't, so he changed the subject.

"So what happened last night? You and Beth looked... Close. Staying the night?" Will teased, smiling. He enjoyed watching Dan squirm.

Dan blushed crimson and shrugged his shoulders, looking at the floor. He didn't want to talk about it, it was personal. Lewis just laughed and Dan could hear the smile, he didn't need to see it.

Before Lewis could add another word Smithy entered the locker room. "Ok girls let's get a move on. Some of us have jobs to do."

Rolling their eyes at each other the three friends left the locker room to begin their day...

What did you think?? R and R please!!
