"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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlZlg8nbXn
"Good on you man" Jay laughs and I smirk slightly.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRyY4GjSqk
"No" Rachel laughs shaking her head and pulling her phone out to check it.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uuo44YAXS
"She is fucking crazy okay" Rachel says overreacting as per usual.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnIljw6ntr
"She outright demanded to check his phone for messages from you guys at the party, it was awkward and uncomfortable" she says slowly.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeLh0up0wS
"Ok" I say slowly looking at Matthew and realising he's out of his depth. I know Matthew. I smile at him reassuringly.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaFl2uaGln
"Well I'm sure she had her reasons" I say defending Olivia.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGPqx4lMnA
"Not at all. And then we were playing truth or dare and she was all like judgy" Rachel laughs.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlYFQQwxcV
"She called me a harlot" she full on laughs.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ACUvYIST0
"Who says harlot anyways" she exclaims and I hide my face trying not to laugh along with her.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjnR5mdlEK
"Babe we're totally harlots" I laugh at her, she puts her phone down her head swinging back happy tears streaming down her face.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm0sQp4mFd
"At least you're not a pregnant harlot jeez" I laugh.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRpS3m4eer
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tzgnM5W6x
"I'm happy for you Matthew" I say it's important that I encourage him, for so many reasons.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8SBhKgpFs
"How is it going" I ask him openly.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzfHK1m4pg
"Honestly yeah the party was a bit awkward, but yeah other than that it's okay actually" he says lack lustre.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEt9YSOtEV
"Why did she wanna check your phone man" Jay asks, slightly laughing pushing his blonde hair back.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa73j6vSerM
"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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRkRG2tM6Z
"Ah man" Jay laughs.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHOwEPDUbf
I shake my head.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bBRcUviQZ
"Thanks Rach that involves me too" I say to her jokingly.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8x0bJ040b
"Oh stop being so strait-laced and boring, we've all fucked each other in this room" she laughs sipping her wine.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIxlTEd5Q1
"Hey" I laugh covering bump.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGwD3qn3ys
"He can hear you" I say laughing.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O7p4kUd1B
"Little ears" I say.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0NxEpFdAi
"No, honestly Taylor, I'm sure that the baby can understand me" she laughs back and I stick my tongue out.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYETTszy8h
"I missed you" she says after a short pause and I smile, covering my tears.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSQFTrfoch
"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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9QCn4JAsH
"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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhZLiNppT3
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT60OftyPG
"Olivia is a very crappy party friend stand in" she laughs and I smile over at her.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrswgC7wlM5
"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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTdBKeX7Cq
"You can have a small glass, honestly don't worry" he laughs.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHWgjaE0mI
"You'll be drinking wine by Christmas, I'll make it happen" he laughs.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW0UoQ8xEt
"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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmBp2eJUsv
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn9Uurx5th
"You guys" she laughs and Jay puts his hands up in the air as if to defend himself.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv2OROPZXA
"What? they're like incredible" he says and I swat him. He chuckles and rests his head back down as I roll my eyes.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv27EzquPo
"As a heads up" I smirk at Rachel.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmtXomaHYi
"Your tits will be humongous when you're pregnant, and they will leak" I tell Rachel laughing.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzBzwcheLH
"Leak!?" She says horrified.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdwBSwxupW
"Yes milk" I say laughing at her shocked expression.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8l2uuFWln
"What's it like ?" She says genuinely intrigued.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oHsapIMuv
"It's like milk" I laugh telling her an obvious expression on my face.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlO3MZ7N8n
"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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHd2RGR0oE
I laugh looking up at Jay who's now got his head resting on his hands, behind his back looking smug.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZt8KcWc7x
"Oh Jay" she laughs half fascinated, half horrified.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoEaGYZjtl
"Don't worry I'm not breastfeeding my husband" I laugh.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgEkEOqnvU
"Sounds like you are" she laughs.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh4ibYkrtz
"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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMisyoBYuT
"Guys, that's like some kind of crazy erotic fantasy you've got going on" she laughs.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA7B6ZHGSL
"You'll see one day" I laugh.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabWTFtpk9w
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L6nRQFu0A
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ70VNxp2d
"He's recovered perfectly" I say smiling over at Rachel.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNzKzP9ITd
She nods smiling, and then picks her phone up.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHCPP6VKm4
"Ohh Christopher, incoming message" she squeals and I cover Ross' ears so he doesn't wake up from her noise.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaqPWY5bzC
"Ohhh dinner plans?" She looks over at me and I smirk.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhanqBtfmX
"Let's all eat out" she suggests and I smile finding her impossible to rein in.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs2dmBWRUP
"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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuWK22m9r7
"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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvdS2F2ddT
"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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2vB24VUx4
"American we've had a lot of Italian, baby" he smirks.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAQmmGtQYk
"Okay, the big 8 it is then" I smirk and look over at Rachel.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclvwiRJwPh
"When is the crazy nurse off of her shift" she laughs looking at Matthew.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ6IKaLno3
"How would I know" he laughs and she sighs impatiently.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbOSYubPWX
"Well you've been bringing her into work everyday" she scoffs tapping on her phone.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcXNWjyyKV
"Let me go check" he says brushing his hair back and standing. Picking up his phone from the side he leaves the room wordlessly.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81gwRXC61N
The door shuts and she turns to me instantly.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmoxCrBtwC
"Honestly, two minutes in and you'll see that this woman is wrong for him" she says to me and Jay laughs.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTE4mLjLeD
"What could possibly be so bad about her" I say to her and she looks at me gobsmacked. Typical overreaction.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4xDW47HWh
"You just wait something will happen he'll do something and she will just be like nope" Rachel laughs.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Liu33qQW3
I smirk and stroke Jays arm.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B88E56Sgc
"I can't wait to see you and Chris together" I say to her changing the subject.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8khTOZAgj
"He's pretty romantic" she smiles.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR2NKG5uSh
"You deserve romance" I tell her.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBvuilA9d3
"Have you yet ?" I ask her and she laughs.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F3t68wdxa
"Taylor!?" She smirks.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIgWaWFcJl
"What" I ask defensively.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQHQoBElv2
"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.
