Rachel walks out just as we head into the hallway. She looks at me glancing at my arms and then swiftly looking away. She takes in myself and Matty leaving a bedroom together and I realise how this comes across.
"Oh Deja vu you too" she smiles.
"Oh stop it" he jibes and I love how he doesn't make me think of a comeback, I'm not at the top of my game right now or in my right head and I can't think. So he doesn't make me. He continues conversing with Rachel as we walk down the steps. Keeping her entertained so that I do not have to talk.
"Rachel, Jacob is still here. It's mad I know but can you please just go with it for me" I say softly. I don't want to divulge all of his secrets to everybody, about Sophia. But it may come to that.
"Got ya bestie" she smiles.
I skip over to Jay and sit on his lap leaving two chairs for them to sit in. Jay pulls me in close and it's so comforting, just hearing his heartbeat and feeling his chest rise and fall.
"So you're leaving" Rach says to Ross.
We're not going to talk about last night and that is fine by me. Matty glances at me inconspicuously and it's our little secret. I smile at him and he smiles back, good girl. I rest into Jay, feeling safe in his arms.
"Yes I'm going to make sure Matty doesn't get lost in London" he says laughing. Matty smiles at him.
"Were you going to tell anybody other than Taylor or..." she laughs.
"Of course" he smiles.
"There's still time" Matty says.
Rachel pulls her phone out and sighs looking at it. She's scrolling.
"Messages from Nate?" I ask.
"Yes not sure what I'm going to do about that one" she says. I liked them for each other, they worked.
"I think you should meet up and discuss" I laugh.
"Discuss what? I cheated on him a hell of a lot" she chuckles. She's being harsh and mean. She pulls on her pink fluffy coat, and stands to grab her duffle bag. She refuses to look at Jacob.
"I've booked a cab if anybody wants to join" she says looking at Ross and Matty, only.
"I've booked for us" Ross says glancing at Matty.
"Jacob would you like me to drop you anywhere" Jay says.
He wants him out, and he is doing his upmost best to be good about it. Considering the circumstances.
"Thanks man I've booked a cab too though" Jacob says and I smile. Jay is not going anywhere.
"Well that was one hell of an experience" I laugh standing up and stretching. I pull Jay up with me and he obliges walking with me. We head out through the gardens. I refuse to be traumatised in my own place by what happened yesterday and I defiantly walk back through the cherry trees where Jacob...did what he did.
I squeeze Jays hand as we reach the part and he holds me that little bit tighter. I never want him to let me go.
"Rach" I say once we're in the house again. Her cab pulls up in the driveway. She hooks her bag on her shoulder and pulls down her shades.
