"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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvwx9bLn12
"Good on you man" Jay laughs and I smirk slightly.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh0oHtPbJC
"No" Rachel laughs shaking her head and pulling her phone out to check it.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeplR8YvyGd
"She is fucking crazy okay" Rachel says overreacting as per usual.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pkoWSBlXm
"She outright demanded to check his phone for messages from you guys at the party, it was awkward and uncomfortable" she says slowly.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU3Hv4c6LL
"Ok" I say slowly looking at Matthew and realising he's out of his depth. I know Matthew. I smile at him reassuringly.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTarZskG7R
"Well I'm sure she had her reasons" I say defending Olivia.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj46EmVRhfM
"Not at all. And then we were playing truth or dare and she was all like judgy" Rachel laughs.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkBDZ0xmAs
"She called me a harlot" she full on laughs.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHy6rnECZu
"Who says harlot anyways" she exclaims and I hide my face trying not to laugh along with her.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUQkSvCt3U
"Babe we're totally harlots" I laugh at her, she puts her phone down her head swinging back happy tears streaming down her face.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpn1QueE7t
"At least you're not a pregnant harlot jeez" I laugh.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB0NGoQTUK
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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKD4Dggj2I
"I'm happy for you Matthew" I say it's important that I encourage him, for so many reasons.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgV3mEHBwT
"How is it going" I ask him openly.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBWeooRPxi
"Honestly yeah the party was a bit awkward, but yeah other than that it's okay actually" he says lack lustre.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48eO4nuYmx
"Why did she wanna check your phone man" Jay asks, slightly laughing pushing his blonde hair back.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgkclNxExe
"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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rnsmkonol
"Ah man" Jay laughs.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaxMYw1DOy
I shake my head.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPzdLGDpP6
"Thanks Rach that involves me too" I say to her jokingly.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuptF8yGsT3
"Oh stop being so strait-laced and boring, we've all fucked each other in this room" she laughs sipping her wine.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgbIKbccAN
"Hey" I laugh covering bump.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBkoseHqfz
"He can hear you" I say laughing.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUjVdtj77b
"Little ears" I say.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AlFfDjHMb
"No, honestly Taylor, I'm sure that the baby can understand me" she laughs back and I stick my tongue out.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlDsaWM4KW
"I missed you" she says after a short pause and I smile, covering my tears.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONpZ1vV9dA
"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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEp2I6jNXX
"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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXPwlhGMWM
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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXN2fas6uR
"Olivia is a very crappy party friend stand in" she laughs and I smile over at her.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZO3RlnqPW
"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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pcnw92Ahy
"You can have a small glass, honestly don't worry" he laughs.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7dAPpygPX
"You'll be drinking wine by Christmas, I'll make it happen" he laughs.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmOe6imgBX
"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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTHKFjcGc3
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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDYfkMN1OO
"You guys" she laughs and Jay puts his hands up in the air as if to defend himself.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ot8M5Gh04
"What? they're like incredible" he says and I swat him. He chuckles and rests his head back down as I roll my eyes.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiBN4wfx6T
"As a heads up" I smirk at Rachel.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKpMgbn57x
"Your tits will be humongous when you're pregnant, and they will leak" I tell Rachel laughing.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgJD2ewKuI
"Leak!?" She says horrified.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TPqRbVvaT
"Yes milk" I say laughing at her shocked expression.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC1Y6avIqE
"What's it like ?" She says genuinely intrigued.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjcDUjeqCv
"It's like milk" I laugh telling her an obvious expression on my face.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zSOEnOVZJ
"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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTwXifJaq5
I laugh looking up at Jay who's now got his head resting on his hands, behind his back looking smug.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRMScS1eRq
"Oh Jay" she laughs half fascinated, half horrified.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWuu3IeQaB
"Don't worry I'm not breastfeeding my husband" I laugh.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzboudoGJG
"Sounds like you are" she laughs.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmarW3mrTu
"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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgCmYs42yN
"Guys, that's like some kind of crazy erotic fantasy you've got going on" she laughs.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLjPxAi24L
"You'll see one day" I laugh.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2WuDphkN9
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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmNSG5YyNb
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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFxj9GAwfN
"He's recovered perfectly" I say smiling over at Rachel.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKMgwx2j1A
She nods smiling, and then picks her phone up.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoS16LYwlc
"Ohh Christopher, incoming message" she squeals and I cover Ross' ears so he doesn't wake up from her noise.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyswT0pxZON
"Ohhh dinner plans?" She looks over at me and I smirk.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3dAWMIoxV
"Let's all eat out" she suggests and I smile finding her impossible to rein in.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuAvbq105b
"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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y5ZF7h258
"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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDllpRMz4P
"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.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vigjR12QH
"American we've had a lot of Italian, baby" he smirks.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodc1aFVd8n
"Okay, the big 8 it is then" I smirk and look over at Rachel.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oW3IKEWKS
"When is the crazy nurse off of her shift" she laughs looking at Matthew.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK7WclSCC9
"How would I know" he laughs and she sighs impatiently.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9Ht5NwmCz
"Well you've been bringing her into work everyday" she scoffs tapping on her phone.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqzzEQSpPA
"Let me go check" he says brushing his hair back and standing. Picking up his phone from the side he leaves the room wordlessly.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrMZ4dT2VM
The door shuts and she turns to me instantly.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZgyaSIyAH
"Honestly, two minutes in and you'll see that this woman is wrong for him" she says to me and Jay laughs.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVxwJi5uIh
"What could possibly be so bad about her" I say to her and she looks at me gobsmacked. Typical overreaction.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJKsS9gdgW
"You just wait something will happen he'll do something and she will just be like nope" Rachel laughs.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSvr1IOqZH
I smirk and stroke Jays arm.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUowpyRH6L
"I can't wait to see you and Chris together" I say to her changing the subject.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntTmst4231
"He's pretty romantic" she smiles.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuMf70g4MS
"You deserve romance" I tell her.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS3hLnzhry
"Have you yet ?" I ask her and she laughs.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzWyfO2Spm
"Taylor!?" She smirks.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPiN1RUxh2
"What" I ask defensively.
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCHGmTLT8u
"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.
