"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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRnIdkmaIm
"Good on you man" Jay laughs and I smirk slightly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiUlvMpyCx
"No" Rachel laughs shaking her head and pulling her phone out to check it.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW91FOK9uTG
"She is fucking crazy okay" Rachel says overreacting as per usual.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofwcpRBSog
"She outright demanded to check his phone for messages from you guys at the party, it was awkward and uncomfortable" she says slowly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwwHByFyaH
"Ok" I say slowly looking at Matthew and realising he's out of his depth. I know Matthew. I smile at him reassuringly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqVWgGYGua
"Well I'm sure she had her reasons" I say defending Olivia.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo27X9vRcm
"Not at all. And then we were playing truth or dare and she was all like judgy" Rachel laughs.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcKVWWMxPG
"She called me a harlot" she full on laughs.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIN7ucIy8R
"Who says harlot anyways" she exclaims and I hide my face trying not to laugh along with her.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4VeQiRdcC
"Babe we're totally harlots" I laugh at her, she puts her phone down her head swinging back happy tears streaming down her face.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSCu8CdOaq
"At least you're not a pregnant harlot jeez" I laugh.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOaKlXQqfM
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmRJIjVJFH
"I'm happy for you Matthew" I say it's important that I encourage him, for so many reasons.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyYmpBygfh
"How is it going" I ask him openly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9XcZGFUwg
"Honestly yeah the party was a bit awkward, but yeah other than that it's okay actually" he says lack lustre.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34AQElFt3B
"Why did she wanna check your phone man" Jay asks, slightly laughing pushing his blonde hair back.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgeKmS4Uoe
"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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7KKBQ9xw6
"Ah man" Jay laughs.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM2WO1lwqb
I shake my head.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2Q9Qbldup
"Thanks Rach that involves me too" I say to her jokingly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmMzoznHob
"Oh stop being so strait-laced and boring, we've all fucked each other in this room" she laughs sipping her wine.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYQllRVcIc
"Hey" I laugh covering bump.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HQyKdXXSz
"He can hear you" I say laughing.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wnIs8Vt9s
"Little ears" I say.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh87n9payE
"No, honestly Taylor, I'm sure that the baby can understand me" she laughs back and I stick my tongue out.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR9pPUCjpb
"I missed you" she says after a short pause and I smile, covering my tears.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76IhifNR0v
"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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFgLcp3mN5
"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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWSN3PgHxf
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nskYGXVyQ
"Olivia is a very crappy party friend stand in" she laughs and I smile over at her.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzvHTLd9jc
"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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpa2wazZkW
"You can have a small glass, honestly don't worry" he laughs.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EsO3QxsQw
"You'll be drinking wine by Christmas, I'll make it happen" he laughs.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwOzDqV5B3
"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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ921Mv95e
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKET1UfTCGM
"You guys" she laughs and Jay puts his hands up in the air as if to defend himself.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzQTfUeB7j
"What? they're like incredible" he says and I swat him. He chuckles and rests his head back down as I roll my eyes.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XlDroYXey
"As a heads up" I smirk at Rachel.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFxHmXvPJt
"Your tits will be humongous when you're pregnant, and they will leak" I tell Rachel laughing.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UpJP5ZBj2
"Leak!?" She says horrified.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOBKzvoG4B
"Yes milk" I say laughing at her shocked expression.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPJYXW4c7b
"What's it like ?" She says genuinely intrigued.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78YRVi2fEN
"It's like milk" I laugh telling her an obvious expression on my face.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KaReuuWTz
"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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKhSlsaVem
I laugh looking up at Jay who's now got his head resting on his hands, behind his back looking smug.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61qjLqamZG
"Oh Jay" she laughs half fascinated, half horrified.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSEQXukra2
"Don't worry I'm not breastfeeding my husband" I laugh.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn7UxVi6hg
"Sounds like you are" she laughs.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunNPUtYHWG
"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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVYiIz4P9i
"Guys, that's like some kind of crazy erotic fantasy you've got going on" she laughs.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p7FF8zQZV
"You'll see one day" I laugh.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqhTx4WD1S
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqvUVRI4N7
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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbuUgEfDuz
"He's recovered perfectly" I say smiling over at Rachel.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd65ui3yEiI
She nods smiling, and then picks her phone up.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfIBsr9wFY
"Ohh Christopher, incoming message" she squeals and I cover Ross' ears so he doesn't wake up from her noise.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1Q8uEqpMQ
"Ohhh dinner plans?" She looks over at me and I smirk.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYqtQLeTKR
"Let's all eat out" she suggests and I smile finding her impossible to rein in.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVxpmZCS3x
"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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh6Lj1NHss
"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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOJApRnb3O
"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.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhA3wpEvTy
"American we've had a lot of Italian, baby" he smirks.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhYBcXIIOs
"Okay, the big 8 it is then" I smirk and look over at Rachel.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeylvXbPUq0
"When is the crazy nurse off of her shift" she laughs looking at Matthew.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wHUepSqBi
"How would I know" he laughs and she sighs impatiently.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZMxRo4G5s
"Well you've been bringing her into work everyday" she scoffs tapping on her phone.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAsxvg3wur
"Let me go check" he says brushing his hair back and standing. Picking up his phone from the side he leaves the room wordlessly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIyAorNbNO
The door shuts and she turns to me instantly.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvtdf1E8ip
"Honestly, two minutes in and you'll see that this woman is wrong for him" she says to me and Jay laughs.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg3EL1oVrm
"What could possibly be so bad about her" I say to her and she looks at me gobsmacked. Typical overreaction.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkPLik66X5
"You just wait something will happen he'll do something and she will just be like nope" Rachel laughs.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN6FoBpRN0
I smirk and stroke Jays arm.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8tRGXL5Sz
"I can't wait to see you and Chris together" I say to her changing the subject.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85zO8uN5FI
"He's pretty romantic" she smiles.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9z0BoIaeR
"You deserve romance" I tell her.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87xqe337sI
"Have you yet ?" I ask her and she laughs.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXpGlZbLG1
"Taylor!?" She smirks.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj4DX9Dh1b
"What" I ask defensively.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqM7xH0KA1
"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.
