"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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzfDz9tL57
"Good on you man" Jay laughs and I smirk slightly.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdMPqCtlvu
"No" Rachel laughs shaking her head and pulling her phone out to check it.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTqUciLcep
"She is fucking crazy okay" Rachel says overreacting as per usual.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeQSiwn9tN
"She outright demanded to check his phone for messages from you guys at the party, it was awkward and uncomfortable" she says slowly.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CKG7KMF1c
"Ok" I say slowly looking at Matthew and realising he's out of his depth. I know Matthew. I smile at him reassuringly.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL37guqE1eE
"Well I'm sure she had her reasons" I say defending Olivia.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYWX3nTkPS
"Not at all. And then we were playing truth or dare and she was all like judgy" Rachel laughs.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3h7tEN6BY
"She called me a harlot" she full on laughs.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23CgNsnbfi
"Who says harlot anyways" she exclaims and I hide my face trying not to laugh along with her.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje0ddzPsrk
"Babe we're totally harlots" I laugh at her, she puts her phone down her head swinging back happy tears streaming down her face.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BxHiZZlpE
"At least you're not a pregnant harlot jeez" I laugh.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4HvcLyyI8
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8xrXd9aS1
"I'm happy for you Matthew" I say it's important that I encourage him, for so many reasons.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6fqk6g13x
"How is it going" I ask him openly.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKy0473qjk
"Honestly yeah the party was a bit awkward, but yeah other than that it's okay actually" he says lack lustre.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijit6z3fHR
"Why did she wanna check your phone man" Jay asks, slightly laughing pushing his blonde hair back.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fmXK7VicN
"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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡennv89mrEq
"Ah man" Jay laughs.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyZS7j9vXK
I shake my head.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8NjsPhpx9
"Thanks Rach that involves me too" I say to her jokingly.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5MwthsKvy
"Oh stop being so strait-laced and boring, we've all fucked each other in this room" she laughs sipping her wine.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwRKVkN9b6
"Hey" I laugh covering bump.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2iAlktKYB
"He can hear you" I say laughing.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv51tghqGxW
"Little ears" I say.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJwnqRlB9B
"No, honestly Taylor, I'm sure that the baby can understand me" she laughs back and I stick my tongue out.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo1g6CUfvK
"I missed you" she says after a short pause and I smile, covering my tears.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aYHUgZiLo
"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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKRYxl2z2Q
"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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXqD11npIw
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIlxXLhjwX
"Olivia is a very crappy party friend stand in" she laughs and I smile over at her.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbiIP6znfX
"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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3uImq7pYH
"You can have a small glass, honestly don't worry" he laughs.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZWeNHRdDK
"You'll be drinking wine by Christmas, I'll make it happen" he laughs.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBV0RNM1Ik
"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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2Qa1wyDcS
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3pf8bmPZN
"You guys" she laughs and Jay puts his hands up in the air as if to defend himself.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsfdzje5Hu
"What? they're like incredible" he says and I swat him. He chuckles and rests his head back down as I roll my eyes.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSRD1TmSWW
"As a heads up" I smirk at Rachel.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmIXhNFYgW
"Your tits will be humongous when you're pregnant, and they will leak" I tell Rachel laughing.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlbTQk6y5B
"Leak!?" She says horrified.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqTy4Gu0k7
"Yes milk" I say laughing at her shocked expression.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7ImMfiqgF
"What's it like ?" She says genuinely intrigued.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmOJJxHyMR
"It's like milk" I laugh telling her an obvious expression on my face.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs2AHdzTvN
"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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WdZyey2OF
I laugh looking up at Jay who's now got his head resting on his hands, behind his back looking smug.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd0DnCi2SN
"Oh Jay" she laughs half fascinated, half horrified.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dTHwOwrqh
"Don't worry I'm not breastfeeding my husband" I laugh.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4zGOPz4PM
"Sounds like you are" she laughs.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXtvKVJYdr
"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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKCUYSTbND
"Guys, that's like some kind of crazy erotic fantasy you've got going on" she laughs.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyg6XHhZYw
"You'll see one day" I laugh.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvasv5HstbG
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBEpqJaeaR
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAaFXpRSiC
"He's recovered perfectly" I say smiling over at Rachel.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrhEeiC4em
She nods smiling, and then picks her phone up.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfvl3ZjpML
"Ohh Christopher, incoming message" she squeals and I cover Ross' ears so he doesn't wake up from her noise.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oBTp572eD
"Ohhh dinner plans?" She looks over at me and I smirk.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGshdfib7HT
"Let's all eat out" she suggests and I smile finding her impossible to rein in.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUfYp6QSLW
"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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxXLrrmcSf
"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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GY2FIKTgD
"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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSikvNlFzd4
"American we've had a lot of Italian, baby" he smirks.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1GI6BZP00
"Okay, the big 8 it is then" I smirk and look over at Rachel.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5mRWb04hg
"When is the crazy nurse off of her shift" she laughs looking at Matthew.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1t7RDm4uZ
"How would I know" he laughs and she sighs impatiently.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx2BEtuI5W
"Well you've been bringing her into work everyday" she scoffs tapping on her phone.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Og36Wi8vi
"Let me go check" he says brushing his hair back and standing. Picking up his phone from the side he leaves the room wordlessly.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3XW6aBQyb
The door shuts and she turns to me instantly.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91XiqVHztg
"Honestly, two minutes in and you'll see that this woman is wrong for him" she says to me and Jay laughs.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidSlKnkhzu
"What could possibly be so bad about her" I say to her and she looks at me gobsmacked. Typical overreaction.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4FZ2rJdA4
"You just wait something will happen he'll do something and she will just be like nope" Rachel laughs.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59bHz45775
I smirk and stroke Jays arm.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIexqtP55hl
"I can't wait to see you and Chris together" I say to her changing the subject.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW5O6cuyjD
"He's pretty romantic" she smiles.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zD57UaiVN
"You deserve romance" I tell her.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4LJGvlHlB
"Have you yet ?" I ask her and she laughs.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1aZxAou3t
"Taylor!?" She smirks.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyw9kCtkkl
"What" I ask defensively.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDpZHVvKN2
"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.
