"Hey Joe! I brought all the goodies you could possibly think of!" You start, allowing yourself into his apartment, "Let's get this movie night started" You grin, setting down the bags. Every so often, you and your best friend Joe would have a movie night together with tonnes of food
"Oh hey (y/n)" Joe smiles and you turn around. His girlfriend, Leah, sat beside him
"Hi Leah! Joe didn't tell me you were coming tonight" You say politely. There had always been tension between you two- her because she hated how close you were to Joe and you, well, that was because of your undying crush for Joe.
"Well he's my boyfriend and he wanted to spend time with me. Nothing wrong with that" her smile is sickeningly sweet. Of course, fake
"No yeah that's great!" You compose yourself, "I hope you like the classics" you smile, pulling out some DVDs
~~~Time Skip~~~
"Ughh this film is so boring!" Leah groans as The Breakfast Club continues to play.
You and Joe on the other hand were obsessed with the film, having watched it a hundred times before
"This is a great film!" Joe grins at the scene and you agree
"You're pretty sexy when you get angry" You and Joe quote together and laugh at each other
"Joey babe" Leah says in a sweet tone, lifting up his arm to snuggle into him
You roll your eyes, curling into the sofa on your own and continuing to enjoy the movie
Soon the film finishes and you get up to refill the snacks and drinks
"Here I'll come help you" Joe nods, shifting from his girlfriend's grasp to get up
"No babe she can do something for herself." Leah states harshly
"I'm gonna be helping her for like two minutes Leah you can be without me for that long" He shrugs, heading into the kitchen to help you
"Trouble in paradise?" You say innocently
"Just a bit" He sighs, taking a side glance at the girl that stood beside him. Her hair in a ponytail with simple joggers and sweatshirt. No make up. The girl he truly loved. Her name- (y/n).

You woke up with a stretch and scrolled through your phone for a while. Deep down, you didn't want to go out into the lounge and see Joe and Leah acting like the perfect couple. It killed you that you couldn't be more than friends. You and Joe were inseparable best friends. Everyone thought you should be together. Except Joe. He was the one you would tell everything to and you would go on holiday with and you would come round at 2am just because there was a film you had a craving to watch.
"Come on (y/n) it's way past your waking up time" Joe knocks on the door to the room you had slept in
You smile to yourself at the thought that he knew that. And slowly dragged yourself out of the bed
You pull on one of Joe's hoodies that he had given you for the morning and headed out
"There she is" Joe grins, cooking eggs in the kitchen
"Hey" You reply, shoving your hands into your pockets
Leah came out of Joe's bedroom with her small shorts and tank top that she had slept in. They fit her body perfectly. Showing off her flat stomach and thigh gap. A flash of jealousy rushed through you
"Oh hey (y/n)" Leah smiles politely but quickly drops her face to a frown when she sees what you are wearing, "Why are you wearing Joe's clothes?"
"I just leant it to her for this morning! She's probably got more of my clothes now than I have" Joe chuckles
"Can't she afford her own clothes?" Leah questions harshly
"Leah it's not a problem. I just know she likes to wear a hoodie in the morning and I also know she would forget to bring one herself" Joe grins cheekily at you
"You're not wrong" You laugh, heading over to the kitchen
His girlfriend quickly rushes in front of you, ducking under one of Joe's arms to stand in front of him
"Do you remember when we were cooking pancakes (y/n)?" Joe chuckles at the memory
"I think there's still some of the stuff on my ceiling!" You laugh
"Yeah well who's fault was that?" He raises his eyebrows at you. You hit his arm jokingly before he is pulled to turn and face Leah. She reaches up and plants a long, firm kiss on his lips
The sight makes you feel sick. It should be you he's kissing in the morning.
"I'm gonna um go get changed. I should be going soon anyway" You say, setting down your barely touched food and heading towards the bedroom
"Aren't you staying for a bit? I thought we were gonna film that gaming video together?" Joe calls after you, "And you've barely eaten your eggs"
"Maybe another time Joe. And I'm not hungry" You reply politely, closing the door behind you
A breath you didn't know you were holding escapes your lips. Along with a tear rolling down your cheek. It should be you he's kissing
After changing into your outfit of skinny black jeans, a plain T-shirt and an open plaid shirt. You grab your bag and head out into the living room
"I'm gonna go now" You call and Joe comes out of the bedroom
"(Y/n), what's wrong?" He asks concerned
"Nothing I've just got a lot of stuff to do today" You shrug innocently
"No come on. I've known you for how many years? I believe I know when something is wrong" He pleads with you, "So, what's happened (y/n)?"
