"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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R68zo21GN
"Good on you man" Jay laughs and I smirk slightly.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI8NeQnY7X
"No" Rachel laughs shaking her head and pulling her phone out to check it.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQsqspuMxA
"She is fucking crazy okay" Rachel says overreacting as per usual.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31FYVFQAzg
"She outright demanded to check his phone for messages from you guys at the party, it was awkward and uncomfortable" she says slowly.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tUd1A2jh0
"Ok" I say slowly looking at Matthew and realising he's out of his depth. I know Matthew. I smile at him reassuringly.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmPdS8H0u1
"Well I'm sure she had her reasons" I say defending Olivia.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak0LVObp7e
"Not at all. And then we were playing truth or dare and she was all like judgy" Rachel laughs.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN1jYOqcCs
"She called me a harlot" she full on laughs.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FZnwTmMi0
"Who says harlot anyways" she exclaims and I hide my face trying not to laugh along with her.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt5FHDamN1
"Babe we're totally harlots" I laugh at her, she puts her phone down her head swinging back happy tears streaming down her face.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGGrnUEBZD
"At least you're not a pregnant harlot jeez" I laugh.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrXAwqW4HQ
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEGg9XdlW4
"I'm happy for you Matthew" I say it's important that I encourage him, for so many reasons.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLtxeDbpaH
"How is it going" I ask him openly.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRiG8CvQaZ
"Honestly yeah the party was a bit awkward, but yeah other than that it's okay actually" he says lack lustre.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0VGQK52Gr
"Why did she wanna check your phone man" Jay asks, slightly laughing pushing his blonde hair back.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk2PiURUcz
"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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGurX96IR5L
"Ah man" Jay laughs.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PJ0VirJCw
I shake my head.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHZXCoVeof
"Thanks Rach that involves me too" I say to her jokingly.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5HGKw4OPI
"Oh stop being so strait-laced and boring, we've all fucked each other in this room" she laughs sipping her wine.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNWtF0JOSP
"Hey" I laugh covering bump.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLFRZD8Snr
"He can hear you" I say laughing.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYazEP5T6u
"Little ears" I say.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRwWwud1ET
"No, honestly Taylor, I'm sure that the baby can understand me" she laughs back and I stick my tongue out.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyOTnxzrTM
"I missed you" she says after a short pause and I smile, covering my tears.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2L8cseaMV
"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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzelUZ2ljq
"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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpiWKxsIm7
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFABkUmwI1N
"Olivia is a very crappy party friend stand in" she laughs and I smile over at her.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc1goGqgET
"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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeAdK7GuTH
"You can have a small glass, honestly don't worry" he laughs.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQvjfrBXOH
"You'll be drinking wine by Christmas, I'll make it happen" he laughs.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg2qPKeOw2
"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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6BLPnxLTe
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7cEVHjAls
"You guys" she laughs and Jay puts his hands up in the air as if to defend himself.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBFS9WxXg2
"What? they're like incredible" he says and I swat him. He chuckles and rests his head back down as I roll my eyes.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4kGhg80eK
"As a heads up" I smirk at Rachel.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqHMf90YcO
"Your tits will be humongous when you're pregnant, and they will leak" I tell Rachel laughing.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuAHX3ZCsG
"Leak!?" She says horrified.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbzG3De7kC
"Yes milk" I say laughing at her shocked expression.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv8Gf8TpGC
"What's it like ?" She says genuinely intrigued.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD5PHgMrPa
"It's like milk" I laugh telling her an obvious expression on my face.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTIbb7R5he
"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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQofmJQdFBo
I laugh looking up at Jay who's now got his head resting on his hands, behind his back looking smug.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZNJN42PNe
"Oh Jay" she laughs half fascinated, half horrified.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNgH7XpBMb
"Don't worry I'm not breastfeeding my husband" I laugh.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUCkde0Aaf
"Sounds like you are" she laughs.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQVFggY43g
"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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngSNv7DLiv
"Guys, that's like some kind of crazy erotic fantasy you've got going on" she laughs.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLy0x6NL3c
"You'll see one day" I laugh.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwfqf6lv9J
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBP23fDdJX
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVIIj03uQu
"He's recovered perfectly" I say smiling over at Rachel.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwWvppgdjV
She nods smiling, and then picks her phone up.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWcNzlVA9z
"Ohh Christopher, incoming message" she squeals and I cover Ross' ears so he doesn't wake up from her noise.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7AJ5Gjvnw
"Ohhh dinner plans?" She looks over at me and I smirk.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUrf4gbQQC
"Let's all eat out" she suggests and I smile finding her impossible to rein in.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesbXl3Nx1M
"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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy86KKi6lDh
"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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvIiZqj4j9
"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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUSifbTQMM
"American we've had a lot of Italian, baby" he smirks.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQAYy7gR5y
"Okay, the big 8 it is then" I smirk and look over at Rachel.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4asckeoOsS
"When is the crazy nurse off of her shift" she laughs looking at Matthew.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI0TwN2r6i
"How would I know" he laughs and she sighs impatiently.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvprdokXIz
"Well you've been bringing her into work everyday" she scoffs tapping on her phone.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQeEbDZf8L
"Let me go check" he says brushing his hair back and standing. Picking up his phone from the side he leaves the room wordlessly.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu9dmyeL48
The door shuts and she turns to me instantly.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBBC1L7ifg
"Honestly, two minutes in and you'll see that this woman is wrong for him" she says to me and Jay laughs.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWv05qlqvt
"What could possibly be so bad about her" I say to her and she looks at me gobsmacked. Typical overreaction.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGMBGwdm8s
"You just wait something will happen he'll do something and she will just be like nope" Rachel laughs.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa0JmX4YK6
I smirk and stroke Jays arm.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucAHG00DMS
"I can't wait to see you and Chris together" I say to her changing the subject.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82xCEpgfjt
"He's pretty romantic" she smiles.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7c0OdQ2fK
"You deserve romance" I tell her.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIoynEpfMl
"Have you yet ?" I ask her and she laughs.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6mek8u8a2
"Taylor!?" She smirks.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJAx6vsOF0
"What" I ask defensively.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pXy2Nc7Pn
"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.
