Bad Bets (Bad News Series Book 3) *Under Major Edit*

Chapter 14

“He left!!” Isabella stormed into Juliet’s room where she and Nessa were currently sat.

“What? What happened?” Juliet looked startled to see her stood before them in her pajamas, hair messily knotted on her head.

“George. He left.” She began pacing back and forward. “We fell asleep, I woke up and he was gone.”

This was the last thing she wanted or needed right now.

She understood what he wanted from being here in Vegas but she craved just one night with him in their bed, relaxing and out of dangers way.

However it seemed as though that wasn’t going to happen. The conversation she had shared with him only a few hours ago had not sunk into that head of his.

“He’ll be okay Isabella, he’s probably with the gang. They’ll look after him.” Juliet tried to reassure, but Nessa just shook her head laughing.

“After how pissed Jay is, he’s running out of patience. I don’t think he’ll put up with it for much longer.”

There was tension in the room for a moment while they realised what they were dealing with. Their partners were currently at war with one another and it was natural for the girls to support their own. Yet they knew that they couldn’t get too involved because the last thing they needed was to be arguing themselves.

“I’m sure they won’t let anything happen to him.” Juliet looked sternly at Nessa, before briefly smiling at Isabella.

“I just hate this!” She sighed, throwing her hands in the air. “I don’t care about this stupid money and I wish he didn’t either. We were coping just fine before.”

“Maybe you should just get out of here. Get back home to Brighton.” Juliet suggested, yet Isabella shook her head.

“I want to but George won’t leave yet. He won’t leave until he has that money.”

“Go alone then. Sophie is home, you’ll have her… and Elliot and Jack.”

Isabella looked at Juliet like she had three heads.

“I’m not leaving him here. He’ll do something stupid. Soph and I aren’t exactly on the best terms either…”

“Why not?”

This was the first they had heard of it. The girls hadn’t seen much of each other lately but Juliet hadn’t realised they were going through a rough patch.

“We had an argument before I followed George out here… she doesn’t get it. She also has her friends and work mates, she doesn’t need to be looking out for a lonely pregnant woman…”

Neither of the girls had chance to further the conversation as a loud knock was heard on the door, making them all jump.
