"Yeah so..." Rachel begins as the door shuts and the room is quiet. Now she's going to spill all of the beans I think to myself. She looks at me, beginning to get wine drunk as she drinks faster than everybody else. Jay sets his wine down and pulls me in closer.

"Matthew has been you know seeing Olivia" she laughs and he hides his face.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVtCIsjaFo
"Good on you man" Jay laughs and I smirk slightly.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri4VlTGjGo
"No" Rachel laughs shaking her head and pulling her phone out to check it.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkQk1wiZOt
"She is fucking crazy okay" Rachel says overreacting as per usual.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctZRxlUmUD
"She outright demanded to check his phone for messages from you guys at the party, it was awkward and uncomfortable" she says slowly.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8M7TlBGTK
"Ok" I say slowly looking at Matthew and realising he's out of his depth. I know Matthew. I smile at him reassuringly.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G8ppiQab8
"Well I'm sure she had her reasons" I say defending Olivia.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V5II7JIwQ
"Not at all. And then we were playing truth or dare and she was all like judgy" Rachel laughs.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr2xlWGJg3
"She called me a harlot" she full on laughs.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TR8v7dC31
"Who says harlot anyways" she exclaims and I hide my face trying not to laugh along with her.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoTIbm5hiD
"Babe we're totally harlots" I laugh at her, she puts her phone down her head swinging back happy tears streaming down her face.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXlUve19NS
"At least you're not a pregnant harlot jeez" I laugh.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG96ekrsQvy
Placing the serviette down and massaging bump I smile looking over at Matthew. Still wearing his leather jacket inside the building, a white shirt under it and black jeans.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3oqJ6pi2y
"I'm happy for you Matthew" I say it's important that I encourage him, for so many reasons.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0u6Heb5v9
"How is it going" I ask him openly.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUirXXUeM47
"Honestly yeah the party was a bit awkward, but yeah other than that it's okay actually" he says lack lustre.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg3vHIBqJ1
"Why did she wanna check your phone man" Jay asks, slightly laughing pushing his blonde hair back.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoz8uwvAj3
"She's just paranoid. It didn't help with Rachel telling her and the whole entire truth or dare circle that I'd had a threesome" he says laughing.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95hj1QfAM8
"Ah man" Jay laughs.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FXSEwOMwq
I shake my head.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5QhjWYqnj
"Thanks Rach that involves me too" I say to her jokingly.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk8bj1EW4o
"Oh stop being so strait-laced and boring, we've all fucked each other in this room" she laughs sipping her wine.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8KzuWPkmi
"Hey" I laugh covering bump.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRvZPaPA8i
"He can hear you" I say laughing.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNcJ5vNaxX
"Little ears" I say.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaVmQAEt4X
"No, honestly Taylor, I'm sure that the baby can understand me" she laughs back and I stick my tongue out.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CNGlksBkK
"I missed you" she says after a short pause and I smile, covering my tears.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlp2WtUwlN
"Me too, Rach" I say smiling hiding and failing to not show my emotion. I practically choke on my words. Matthew looks up at me startled and Jay shifts uncomfortably.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKdRJp4wuv
"You cannot go away again for a long time because I need you as my bestie." She smiles sipping wine. I squeeze Jays hand and he holds me back.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSLPYpztLz
I smile at her weakly and wipe my eyes. She looks back at the movie and then begins chuckling again, it breaks my concentration and I look at her expectantly. Shes like a child in that she can't focus on anything for too long.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrBTQ4NltS
"Olivia is a very crappy party friend stand in" she laughs and I smile over at her.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWZ7iHsjtd
"I'm a crappy party friend, no alcohol for me for at least two months if I breastfeed" I say slowly looking up at Jay.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOODdJLlyl
"You can have a small glass, honestly don't worry" he laughs.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlXVdAgSAi
"You'll be drinking wine by Christmas, I'll make it happen" he laughs.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKXzNcMO3S
"Baby will just have super nice breast milk" he smiles and I kiss him; he's irresistible. I laugh as he rests his head in my chest and Rachel scoffs. He laughs and I stroke his hair, yawning slightly.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzriTUQud9
Jay kisses my chest and I stretch out. Matthew keeps his eyes strictly on the tv. Rachel laughs slightly and I forgot how much she interrupted our cute moments.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbA8XDzoGn
"You guys" she laughs and Jay puts his hands up in the air as if to defend himself.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxo8F3w073
"What? they're like incredible" he says and I swat him. He chuckles and rests his head back down as I roll my eyes.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4VBwCTmAD
"As a heads up" I smirk at Rachel.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsZ5RIUdDB
"Your tits will be humongous when you're pregnant, and they will leak" I tell Rachel laughing.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLygB6H96I8
"Leak!?" She says horrified.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGSZp6w1ai
"Yes milk" I say laughing at her shocked expression.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9smwuKUOc
"What's it like ?" She says genuinely intrigued.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYvdYHor8D
"It's like milk" I laugh telling her an obvious expression on my face.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDadW0BEiT
"Have you tried it" she laughs, and this is why I love Rachel. There is no filter, no worries. What she thinks in her head just comes straight out of her mouth.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnPUgoRpZw
I laugh looking up at Jay who's now got his head resting on his hands, behind his back looking smug.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYCdZYsngf
"Oh Jay" she laughs half fascinated, half horrified.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWhfJq3xt0
"Don't worry I'm not breastfeeding my husband" I laugh.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vh8tI9nEF
"Sounds like you are" she laughs.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp3aKxDz4J
"No it's just... you know after sex it's messy and he cleans up" I laugh out loud and he smiles owning the moment.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYXAsDRBMH
"Guys, that's like some kind of crazy erotic fantasy you've got going on" she laughs.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SK1mlakBk
"You'll see one day" I laugh.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v1GNtfH2j
I stand and stretch out, beginning to feel my back aching on the uncomfortable hospital sofa. Heading over to Ross, I watch him sleeping peacefully and smile slightly. Grasping his book which he's left on the covers, I take it and place it on the stand by the bed.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNpRu2DGnG
I briefly stroke his hair back, seeing him smile like I knew he would in his sleep. I clean up the cake serviette and place it in the bin. Returning to him, I think about how happy he will be when he realises that he's leaving hospital. I will see him out of hospital, I will know that he's fine before I do leave the country again I think to myself.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z3oO3CDm2
"He's recovered perfectly" I say smiling over at Rachel.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tvcxNBSFx
She nods smiling, and then picks her phone up.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlI6ywhC7Y
"Ohh Christopher, incoming message" she squeals and I cover Ross' ears so he doesn't wake up from her noise.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPPeoAybd7
"Ohhh dinner plans?" She looks over at me and I smirk.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEHq1jyc1k
"Let's all eat out" she suggests and I smile finding her impossible to rein in.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCzLWCRSQf
"Hey we're all in relationships now, we just have to hook Ross up when he's out and then we can all go out together" she laughs.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtqX8Gta07
"Actually that's not a bad idea." I smile down at him. Imagining the kind of woman he would fall for. The woman that will wear the glistening diamond ring he picked up for me. I won't see it happen of course, I regret that I won't be here for that moment. But I'm sure I will meet her someday. I wipe my tears away looking down at him, just knowing that he will be much more able to move forward with me away and out of his life.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ4BJCNbeo
"What food would you like tonight Mon amour" I say going over to Jay and perching on his lap. He looks up at me, a huge grin on his face.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWduUAqrAk
"American we've had a lot of Italian, baby" he smirks.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiZhoVamAb
"Okay, the big 8 it is then" I smirk and look over at Rachel.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOUZbpsGDs
"When is the crazy nurse off of her shift" she laughs looking at Matthew.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh34dzedrI
"How would I know" he laughs and she sighs impatiently.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYuAM4RKau
"Well you've been bringing her into work everyday" she scoffs tapping on her phone.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkxtwyxz1F
"Let me go check" he says brushing his hair back and standing. Picking up his phone from the side he leaves the room wordlessly.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsC7LyaWB5
The door shuts and she turns to me instantly.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDItgKX6NJ
"Honestly, two minutes in and you'll see that this woman is wrong for him" she says to me and Jay laughs.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ukv7I9YJV
"What could possibly be so bad about her" I say to her and she looks at me gobsmacked. Typical overreaction.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujcxxAw2rw
"You just wait something will happen he'll do something and she will just be like nope" Rachel laughs.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMCjnab6yA
I smirk and stroke Jays arm.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3REhqIarFR
"I can't wait to see you and Chris together" I say to her changing the subject.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2v1rznAEp
"He's pretty romantic" she smiles.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81NyCctGLM
"You deserve romance" I tell her.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDJQCIOqRt
"Have you yet ?" I ask her and she laughs.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDTKeBFk41
"Taylor!?" She smirks.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgqNLmCoFT
"What" I ask defensively.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP7Mq8pffh
"No we haven't had sex yet, I can't wait though" she smiles a wicked smile. I laugh realising how much I'm going to miss her when I'm away from the USA. It strikes me that even though at the beginning of our friendship we weren't particularly close, now with the thought of being away from each other looming over me, I realise just how much we have relied on each other. How much we've made each other laugh, how we've stuck up for each other over the years.
