The months were slowly rolling by and my time in high school was dwindling. Jules had suggested we get in as much time together before we all go our separate ways; she had planned a little get together at my house- it's the only parent free house. To be honest I haven't been back to the house in a while, I only tend to stay here when my mom is back. Which at the moment isn't often, she has a big client in the city that takes up most of her time- she comes back when she can. Most my time is now spent at the apartment with Fin, it has become our little safe haven.

Walking into the empty house felt weird, all the curtains were closed, and I think dust was gathering on some of the tables. Maybe I should make this place looked lived in before the girls arrive, I do not need Taylor's judgment on how I need to come home more. Whilst I was stocking the fridge, I hear the front door open and close, two loud voices follow.

"Honey we're home." Taylor laughs, I think she's gone straight to the couch.

"I'm in the kitchen." I shout. Soon I'm joined by the two idiots and their bags full of crap.

"Oh, you two came prepared."

"We didn't know what you had here so we could have gone overboard."

"In my defence the food was Taylor's idea- I had faith you had good food." Jules defends placing the bags on the counter.

When I'm finished stocking the fridge, I lead the girls into the living room where we settle on the couch with some of the snacks they bought.

"I am so glad we are doing this; I feel like we hardly see each other anymore." I comment laying back on the couch.

"We are just busy people." Jules laughs.

"you two may be but I'm not, so clear your schedules more often."

"I thought band would be keeping you busy?"

"It would if I was still in band then it would be."

"Sorry I didn't realise you left."

"Oh, I didn't leave, I got replaced. It's a tough world out there."

"How didn't I know this?"

"It happened during spring break and I could never find the right time to bring it up."

"We've seen each other a lot since then."

"Never for long we always get left for your boyfriend."

"That's not true."

"How about spring break?"

"We we're both sick."

"That's not what I've heard."

"Fin cooked something and it weren't done right so we both got food poisoning."

"That's quite a believable story if you're dumb."

"Taylor." Jules hisses giving her a look.

"What? I am trying to get to the truth. She ditched us to spend time with her boyfriend then lied about it."

"We were both ill." I defend lying so easily.

"You can continue lying but I know the truth. You lie so easily now look at what you've become. Being with him has made you a liar."

"You call me a liar like it is a bad thing, but I lied so my relationship can happen."

"Maybe your relationship shouldn't exist if you have to lie to keep it."

"I could not help who I fell for, we all have our flaws."

"Your flaw is that man who say he loves you, he says he loves you yet he is making you lie to everyone. you lie so easily now you are with him."
