"Mate, you really need to start cleaning up around here. It looks like a bombs gone off." I shout into Ethans apartment, placing his spare key i got given back in my trouser pocket.

"Shh Harold." He whispers back as i walk into his living room where he is watching a very quiet tv.

"Why?" I question, looking around and eventually spotting the sleeping girl on his lap, curled up under a blanket and leaning against his leg for support.

"What is she doing here?" I scowl. She seems to be everywhere i go nowadays.

"Whats with the tone?" He scoffs back at me, still being careful to stay quiet, whereas I couldn't care less if she woke up from her sleep. "And I'm not sure she would appreciate me telling you her private business." He adds, after glaring at me for being too loud.

"Private? Really?" I scoff.

"Okay fine, she got attacked and nearly sexually assaulted by her ex-boyfriend in an alley. There? You happy?" He blurts out, louder than he would have wanted.

Im still questioning how to respond to his statement before she begins to stir in his lap and wakes up from her nap.

She takes a few moments to get used to her surroundings, her face softening when she sees Ethan stroking her hair, then hardening back up again when she spots me standing behind the sofa.

"What is he doing here." She scoffed.

"I asked the same question about you." I add.

She rolls her eyes before standing up and heading into Ethan bedroom, shouting that she is taking a shower.

"Do you really let her walk around like she owns the place?" I ask, annoyed at her attitude.

"Cut her some slack bog, did you not hear what i just said to you?" He questions me, with a disapproving look on his face.

I just sigh in defeat and place myself down onto the sofa next to him, kicking my legs up onto the table and taking out my phone to scroll through my instagram.

"I love you mate, but why are you here?" He questions, laughing at my actions. "And i don't think she is the one who acts like she owns the place."

"Oh shut up." I say, retracting my legs from the coffee table and onto the floor. "Im finished with sorting out Lux's 'emergency' and i was bored and i know you are free. Well, i thought you were." I say, placing my phone down next to me so i can face the ginger prick in front of me.

"Fair enough." He shrugs, before we get into a conversation about JJ's next fight, for some reason.

We are talking for a while about useless shit, until Mia finishes in the shower and shouts for Ethan to take her home. I don't know why he doesn't just make her walk, but thats not my business.

"Right, Harry. I'm gonna drop her off. You staying here or you heading back home?" He questions me.

"Ill wait for you to get back." I nod.

"Cool." He says, standing up to collect his shoes. "I have one more thing to say before i leave." He adds. He's got a certain look on his face which weirdly I cant quite read.

"Im gonna ask you nicely mate, you are my best friend after all, but please try not to be as hard on Mia as you normally are. She has alot of shit going on, especially as her ex is back in the picture. She doesn't need your shitty comments added on top all of if. And from what i know of, she's never even done anything to you." He says, looking into my eyes while grabbing a jumper.

"Fair enough." Is all i can muster, the heat of his stare making me feel awkward.

"Oh and don't tell anyone what i told you about her ex, not even Mia. Its a secret that only 2 or 3 people know of."

"I wasn't planning on it. Im not THAT horrible of a person." I respond.

"Okay. Try your hardest mate, i know you are capable of kindness." He chuckles, lightening the mood. "Ill be back in a bit so we can continue discussing how in-love JJ and Simon are." He laughs, before walking out the door hand-in-hand with a tired looking Mia.

"Try your hardest." I repeat under my breath, before grabbing the remote and finding something to watch.
