Disclaimer: Untill Gordon Brown and his buddies decide to change the law against owning people, I do not own McFly. (although i'm not entirely sure there is a law against that, but i would imagine so - in order to stop people like me. OO. maybe i could change the law like in Legally Blonde 2 so it's allowed. hm..)

My mind was everywhere for the rest of the night. I had stood, watching in shock at my two friends, until Marie and Sophia had come to find me. Sophia approached the couple, looking slightly disgusted, to tell them we were about to leave, whilst Marie simply took my hand and led me back through the mass of people to where the others were waiting.

"I don't think we should ride eight to a taxi again, it was too squashed. Let's split into two." She told the others, I smiled at her gratefully, as I realised what she was doing.

Sophia walked up behind her and seemed to cotton as well, "Me, Jenna, Marie and Tom'll go in one, and you guys can meet us at their place, Claire can give the driver the address. Okay? See you in a bit." And she led our group out to the taxi before anyone could complain.

As soon as the taxi had pulled away, the two girls began talking to me frantically, whilst Tom merely looked confused.

"Er, guys, what?"

The others looked at him as if it was his fault for not knowing or being more sympathetic, whilst I stayed sitting in silence.

"Danny and Claire kissed."

Somehow it was worse hearing it said out loud, as if it was confirming what had happened.

"So?" Tom still seemed oblivious to any crime committed. And then I realised, there hadn't been anything wrong with what they did. Okay, so it hurt my feelings, really really badly, but that was my problem, right? There was no law against your roommate kissing your ex-best-friend-who-you-have-just-made-friends-with-again-and-have-secretly-had-a-thing-for-since-forever. Or at least I didn't think so. And I had told Claire myself that Danny was only like a brother to me, nothing else. I guess I had been overreacting again.

"Guys, guys. I have no problem with them kissing. They can kiss who they like." I knew I was lying, and so did the others (although probably not including Tom, who was still unsure of what the fuss was about). We arrived back home, and I headed straight to bed, claiming I was too tired to stay up and chat. The truth was that I didn't want to be around when Danny and Claire arrived back. I got changed and into bed, and fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow.

-&-

I woke up in the morning, still half asleep. I got out of bed, and nearly had a heart attack when I fell over a person wrapped in blankets lying on my bedroom floor. My squeal and the thud of my body hitting the floor must have woken them up, because Danny's head emerged from the sheets of the makeshift bed, his hair sticking up at odd angles. "Morning." He grunted.

"Sorry I woke you," I muttered, embarrassed at my own clumsiness. "I didn't know you were there."

"Oh, and here's me thinking you stood on me on purpose. Soph sent me in here to sleep, turns out there isn't enough room on the sofa for all of us." He grinned at me again, as I went out to the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth and tried to make my hair look slightly better than it already was, wondering if I should confront him about Claire. I decided it was best for both of us if there were no more arguments and that I should just drop it, afterall, he hadn't said anything about Harry. Claire had left for work already, so there wouldn't be any awkward moments there. I headed back to my room to offer Danny coffee, to find him standing in his jeans looking at a photo I had on my shelf. He was grinning to himself; I walked over to him and smiled at the photo too. It was us; me, Danny and the rest of our group of school friends pulling stupid faces at the camera in the playground. He chuckled, and waved the photo at me.

" I remember the day this was taken."

"Me too, I love this photo."

"Want me to get you a copy?"

"Well, there'll be no need, will there? We'll see them all again next week, at the reunion, remember?" Ah yes. The reunion. I had been dwelling on it ever since I had first seen Danny again. I hadn't been planning on going, but as I looked at the photo I remembered how badly I had missed everyone.

"Yeah. I need to send back the reply later, though."

"You haven't done it? I sent mine back the second I got it. It'll be awesome!"

I laughed. "I didn't think you missed school that much!"

"Nah, I just wanna walk up to the teachers and say, 'Hey. Remember me? I totally ignored your advice, went for my dream, oh, and I got it.'"

"Well then I'll definitely be there then. Sounds like fun to watch."

We spent another few minutes talking about the reunion, who we thought would go, what they would be like, who had changed, who would be exactly the same. We heard the others moving around in the kitchen, which was funny, because I hadn't spared them a thought whilst me and Danny had been talking. We went downstairs and joined them for breakfast.

By the end of the meal, I realised that I shouldn't have been surprised by Danny's seven RedBulls for breakfast, or Tom's Smartie-pizza combination, they were simply like this the whole time. As Sophia, Marie and I cleared loaded the plates into the dishwasher and the guys headed upstairs to change, I grinned at them and muttered, "Y'know, I still can't believe you two are dating one of those nutters."

Marie grinned back at me. "It's all part of the package… Y'know, I still can't believe you are hopelessly in love with one of those nutters and he doesn't know."

And as much as I hated to admit it, she was kind of right.

Two chapters in one day.. see, now I'm just spoiling you.

You know the drill by now, you press that little ol' "Go" button and tell me if this chapter was good/crap/boring/fab, request McFly-Style-Begging-Tunes and give me your plot ideas and theories of what will happen next. MmKay?

I gotta go, no time for a begging-tune today. :(

But congrats to all who guessed the last one as I've Got You. -cheer-

Ellie.
