Chapter 20..

Julia's P.O.V

"Omg!! They're so cute"

"Julia?"

"I knew it"

"Awww, look at how they're just curled up together"

I heard soft chatter around me, but I was so comfortable so I snuggled further into the source of warmth beside me and sighed.

"I think Julia is waking up" I heard the voice Amy's voice if I am not mistaken.

What's going on?

I frowned in confusion and willed myself to wake up. I opened my eyes and a gasp escaped me as I took in sight in front of me.

From the right stood James smiling slyly and at his side stood Isabelle with a hand on her bump and smiling softly. Right next her stood Amy, her hands were intertwined together up next to her face in excitement and her face showed just how excited she is. Then, at the end of the end Ben stood with a knowing smile, as if he knows all the secrets this world holds.

My eyes ran over them and stopped at Ben. Ben's eyes flickered to my side which caused me to do the same. Ryder was sound asleep right beside me and his hand was on my waist. My mouth formed an 'o' shape as recalled what happened before we both slept. A smile took over my face as I took in his peaceful face.

"Julia?" Ben voice shook me out of trance.

I looked up back at him, my smile ceased, and I felt my whole face become red.

"I-I ummm" I untangled Ryder's arm from around me causing him to stir. I removed the covers from around me and moved to the end of the bed and sat there. I looked up at Ben trying to think of what am I going to tell him when Ryder sat up in bed.

He ran his hand through his hair which was a mess, "What the fuck?" he said, his voice raspy because of sleeping, looking at his brother.

"Care to explain what this is, Julia?" Ben said his voice firm but I couldn't tell if he was mad or not.

I felt the color drain from my face and my hands started sweating from how nervous I was.

"I umm was" I was cut off by Ryder.

Ryder removed the covers that slipped down to his waist and put his feet on the ground, "We didn't do anything" he said looking straight at Ben, then averted his eyes to the ground and continued speaking, "I saw her walking out of house and drove us here because uhmm we had stuff to talk about" he said bluntly.

I looked at Ben to gauge his reaction and Ryder did the same.

Ben looked at us and then broke into fits of laughter, "Your faces" his voice came out muffled from how hard he was laughing.

What?

I smiled nervously and Ryder looked at Ben with an uninterested face.

James looked at Ben rolling his eyes then averted his attention to us, "He's just joking, but I can't believe it you Julia? And Ryder?" James said with laugh. He took Isabella's hand, "We'll be downstairs" he said and walked out with Isabella in tow.

Am I that weird?

Or maybe it's because we are complete opposites.

"I was just joking Julia" Ben said with a smile and extended his hand towards me to urge me to stand up.

I took his hand and stood up from the bed. Ben than pulled me into hug.

"I told you before how I felt about this, you shouldn't worry" Ben said into my ear as he hugged me.
