SONG - YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND BY QUEEN

Tony's POV

"You look, beautiful." She immediately looked at her feet but I saw the sneaky smile grow across her face. I opened her door and helped her into the car before hopping in myself and we set off.

"Will your friends like me Tony?" 

"I am sure they'll love you, just as I do. I mean - you know what I mean." WORD VOMIT. "I - uh - I guess you've met a few of them anyway."

"I have?"

"At the hospital? Vic and Elle were there."

"Oh yeah. Are they dating?"

"Yeah." We soon pulled back into the parking lot and we headed inside. "I gotta warn you, they can be a little embarassing. And Jaime is very loud and, well, immature. You did meet him in the corridor and when he, uh, walked in on us. Mike's pretty chilled. Vic can sometimes be shy with new people. And, uh, Elle you've already spoken to. You two should get along well."

"Tony, I'm sure I'll love your friends." We hopped into the lift. "Do you mind if I get changed?"

"Oh yeah! Sure!" I had forgotten she lived in Vic's apartment block. She hurried into a flat and protruded five minutes later, no longer in nurse scrubs.

"Angel, you look - amazing." She honestly did. Her hair had been plaited down her back and she was wearing a cute little dress which brought out the colour of her eyes.

"I don't look too dressed up?"

"Not at all. Ready?" I offered her my arm and as she took it, we headed down the corridor to Vic's flat. I knocked on the door and Jaime leaped to answer it.

"Hello there. I think we met extremely briefly when you and turtle here were about to share a snog. I am Jaime and I am turtle's flatmate. I have plenty a story to share, so do come in." He spoke in a funny voice which caused the others to snigger. Angel looked simply confused.

"I'm sorry." I whispered into her ear and squeezed her hand in mine as we walked into Vic's flat. "Everyone, this is Angel. Angel, Vic, Elle, Jaime and Mike."

"Hi." She offered a smile at everyone.

"Vic, come and help me make some drinks." Elle tapped Vic's shoulder as she stood up. She turned to Angel and smiled. "Angel, what would you like? We have wine and beer and all sorts."

"Oh, uh-" Angel looked at me for reassurance.

"I won't have a beer tonight because I'm driving."

"A glass of wine, please Elle."

"Sure!" She ran into the kitchen, draging Vic along with her and me and Angel sat down on the sofa and Jaime's stories began.

"So, Angel, there was this one time when we were out on tour and it was April fools day.."

"God, not this story. It really isn't funny anymore."

"Oh but it is! Basically, the boys decided to unplug his amp at the start of a show and he panicked completely thinking that his guitar was broke. His face was a picture and the crowd laughed too."

"Not as funny as when we put that spicy sauce on your microphone and you went to scream and cried on stage because it was so hot." Angel laughed at my story and Jaime looked competitive, which started a story war.

(QUICK A/N THAT LAST STORY IS TRUE IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD IT AND I WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN IT OMG)

ELLE'S POV

I dragged Vic into the kitchen by the arm and as the door shut behind us, he pushed me against the wall and I giggled as his arms slithered around my waist. His lips found my neck and started pecking and I pushed him away.

"Ah ah ah! Not now Mr Fuentes! We have guests." I reached into the cupboards to get some glasses out.

"You are honestly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."

"Shut up." I replied.

"I was talking to the beer." I turned around and his hand was inside the fridge and a massive grin grew onto his face.

"Fine." I poured wine into Angel's glass and got Tony a coke. It wasn't a moment later until Vic's arms had found their way back onto my waist.

"Of course I was talking to you. I'm sorry baby! I'm sorry!" His voice erupted into fake tears and I giggled and turned my head to face him and our lips collided.

"You know, Mr Fuentes, I really love you."

"You know what Miss Westend? I really love you too." He moved and gathered the beers in his arms before holding the door open for me.

"Why thank you Mr Fuentes." I put the drinks down on the table next the the couch and turned the music up a bit. "How's the hospital Angel?"

"Oh, you know. Busy. I've nearly completed the course though."

"That's amazing! I'd never have the courage to do your job. I get so queasy easily!" Angel merely giggled. I never even asked Tony if he'd asked her out yet, so I text hm.

ELLE: Dude have you asked her out yet? She's perfect for you!

TONY: We went on some dates but no, she isn't exactly my girlfriend yet.

ELLE: Don't leave it until after the festival run Tone!

TONY: But this is the last chance I'll see her and I can't ask in front of people!

I looked up from my phone and rolled my eyes at him. He looked frightened to death.

"Tony are you ok?" Angel put her hand on his shoulder reassuringly.

"Yeah. Yeah I am fine." He looked down at his lap, clearly contemplating the conversation. A while later, after drinks were finished and laughs were exchnged, it was time for Tony to head home.

"Thank you for having me over, I really appreciate it guys." Angel smiled at us. "I wish you good luck for this festival! Stay in touch Elle, Tony will give you my number. Maybe we could meet up once you're all back."

"That'd be lovely!"
