"I'm sorry. Doing this was a stupid idea, I don't know what I was thinking," she said.
"What do you mean?" I sniffled.
"It was impulsive - craving attention so that I don't feel like shit anymore. You're pregnant, I shouldn't have persuaded you to do this with me."
"You know you can talk to me, right? About what happened with Nick."
I kept on saying it, hoping Lilly would find some comfort from talking to me about it.
She nodded, "I know. I just don't really wanna, does that make me sound awful?"
I shook my head, knowing all too well how it felt to just not wanna talk about it. I just prayed that whatever had happened between her and Nick wasn't serious. I wasn't able to look at Nick the same way anymore. I guess I didn't have to worry about that anymore, I probably wouldn't be seeing him that frequently. The thought that I wouldn't see any of Kit's brothers again made me cry and I cursed my hormones. I knew I would see them again, I was pregnant with their Niece or Nephew.
"Don't cry, Eves."
"Tell my bloody hormones that. I only have to drop a damn sweet wrapper on the floor and I start crying."
Lilly smiled, which made me feel somewhat better.
"Let's go make the best of this shit storm? Just me and you, as always."
I nodded and hugged Lilly before frowning when I saw Nick standing in her doorway, looking in on us.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Lilly demanded after following my eyes to him.
She stood up and glared at him.
"Oh, I let myself in just like the other thirty to forty people in your house..."
"What!?" Lilly marched forward and pushed past him. I followed after her and as I brushed past Nick, he took my arm and made me look at him.
"Are you okay?" he asked after seeing my puffy, red face.
I nodded and walked away from him.
"Oh, my fucking god."
I only had to leave Lilly's room to see the landing full of people, never mind the rest of the house. Bearing in mind, Lilly's parent's house was a huge modern building designed by an architect. It wasn't lacking in space, but for the first time ever it looked crowded. The sight alone made me nervous. I didn’t know any of these people and as I stared individually at their faces, I tried not to delve too deep into my thoughts out of fear that I may have seen a face I recognised and feared. I followed Nick after Lilly down the stairs and stood on the first three steps as Lilly continued forward through the crowd of people. Every girl in the space around us squealed when we heard a loud smashing sound over the music. It made my body jolt as my anxiety rocketed tenfold. I thought about heading back upstairs and locking myself in Lilly’s room as she’d suggested. The knowledge that she was alone in this crowd of people made me do otherwise.
"Stay here," Nick said before he quickly left my side and pushed through the crowd.
Now alone, I brought my hands up to hold onto myself as the music thumped. I wanted to be strong, and it made me feel so pathetic that I felt so uncomfortable surrounded by all of these people.
All of these complete strangers…
Narrowing my eyes at them I could see Jax shifting through, although he wasn't hard to miss.
Like all of his brothers, he was well built and his good looks made him number one eye fucking material amongst the girls around him. He was like a magnet for female attention and as he approached me, I saw every girl sizing me up as competition.
"Hey, beautiful," he said close to my ear.
The music had somehow gotten even louder.
"What are you doing here, Jax?"
"I just came to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid," he smiled. "Plus, I like to party too."
"Who, Nick?"
