A week later

Emily's pov

I try to move but stop seeing Scarletts head on my chest, i smile and pull the duvet up to keep her warm. "mmm" she makes a weird noise and I watch her stretch "morning" she sits up and once she sees me she smiles. I sit up and move my hair over my shoulders "want some food?' she nods pulling down her top "yeah but I'll cook because you can't" she scrambles off the bed quickly. I gasp "i can cook. That's unfair" she laughs "no you can't" she closes the door behind her and I lay back down in bed.

I get ready for the day and then go down stairs. "Oh Em, Lizzie phoned and asked where you were. She went to your house and you weren't there" Scarlett says cooking the eggs "oh, what did you say?" I ask curious "just that you were here forever breakfast and you'll phone her after we eat" she turns around and smiles "you look cute" "oh thanks. Jeans are h&m and jumper is jinx". I sit at the counter and watch Scarlett cook our breakfast "now your officially my girlfriend can you tell me why you wear  that necklace all the time?" I hold it in my hands and watch her "it's a long story. You might be here all day" she shrugs "I don't mind" I smile softly and sigh. "Okay it's an engagement ring" I wait to see Scarletts reaction but she doesn't have one. She just looks up from the pan. I look at the ring whilst telling my story. "Oh Em, I'm so sorry" I smile softly and shrug "I've been pitied over alot there's past five years and I don't need you to do the same" Scarlett holds her hands up in surrender but quickly goes back to Stirling the beans "well it's a beautiful ring, I'll say that much. I have a lot to live up to" I laugh and rest hands on the table "who says you'll propose?" She shrugs "we'll just have to see who wants to get married first" she smiles softly.

Scarlett plates up breakfast and puts it on the oak table Infront of me just as the doorbell rings. I look at Scarlett and then get up from the table "Emily!" Lizzie screams from the other side of the front door and it gets louder the closer I get to it. I open it "Emily what the hell?!" She screams right in my ear "what? I didn't do anything" she looks up at the sky and muters something that I cant quite make out "have you forgotten that we're supposed be going up to dad's later?" I frown trying to remember "Hello, Courtneys birthday?" My eyes widen with realisation "shit. Uh no" Lizzie sighs "we aren't leaving for atleast two hours. Can I finish my breakfast?' she nods folding her arm "fine" "Hey Lizzie. There's enough for you" Scarlett says from behind me. I smile at my little sister "okay" she comes into the house and takes off her long brown jacket and shoes.

Scarlett pulls me into the kitchen and kisses my lips passionately taking my by surprise. I push her away still holding her arms "what's that?' I ask smiling "it's goodbye because now your sisters here" she kisses my again quickly until she pulls away to get air. "Can we keep this a secret?" Scarlett whispers interlocking her fingers with mine "us? Yeah" I smile and peck her lips. Lizzie's footsteps come towards us and Scarlett pulls away quickly "Em why are you here anyway?" Lizzie asks walking in "Scarlett invited me around and I couldn't say no" I tell her sitting at the table "yeah yeah whatever" she grins sitting opposite me. Scarlett puts Lizzie's plate Infront of her and sits next to Lizzie with her own "okay you guys spill the beans. I know what's going on here" I shrug "what's going on here Lizzie? Me and Scarlett are friends, nothing more" I tell her stabbing a mushroom with my fork "ohhh" she laughs "that's is such a lie!" I frown curiously and Scarlett licks her lips looking down at her plate "I know you both are hiding something. I can see it in your eyes Emily Olsen. You guys had sex" I look at her frozen and Scarlett looks up from her plate the same "no we didn't" Scarlett says and I shake my head "yes you did. Emily looked the exact same when she first had sex with Mark" I chew the inside of my cheek and look at Scarlett with the corner of my eye "Fine Olsen. Maybe we did have sex but it's a secret so just shush" Scarlett spills the beans. I sigh loudly and munch on the mushrooms "you literally just told her and you told me to keep it a secret" "yeah, well she guessed" Scarlett says, that's still no excuse. "I knew it! Are you dating?' I roll my eyes "yes but you can't tell anyone. Not mom, not the twins, noone means noone Lizzie" I tell her sternly "yes yes okay. This is so exciting eeekkk" she squeals.

After breakfast I pack my bag from upstairs and get my shoes on with Lizzie. "I'm going to wait in the car" she smirks and heads outside with my overnight bag. "She's watching" Scarlett tells me "well shes a nosy parker" I close the front door. Scarlett moves closer towards me "I love you lieutenant" "I love you too" I kiss her passionately and put my arms around her neck. I pull away when it's time to go "I'll phone you" she says and I nod "sounds good" I open the door and walk down the path "bye!" Scarlett shouts and I wave back. I open the passengers door "took you long enough" Lizzie groans as I get in her car "yes yes whatever. Let's go" I wave to Scarlett as we drive away.

Lizzie puts the music on and rolls up the windows "so you and Scarlett. I did see that coming' I look away and smile "yeah? She understands me, not many people do" I look back at Lizzie smiling "I know, Scarletts a good person and I'm sure she'll respect your choices". The cars silent, the only sound it's from the outside and the music playing through the speakers "I told her about Mark" Lizzie looks at me slightly taken back "you did? How did it go?" I shrug "good I think. She didn't really say anything except she's was sorry" "that's good. I'm really happy you were able to tell her Em" Lizzie's hand lands on my shoulder "thanks" I whisper back.

We arrive at dad's and we both sit in the car for a second or two "don't mention Scarlett' "I won't. Come on" I sigh and we both get out of the car. Lizzie hands me Courtneys present and I head up to the house whilst she locks the door. I ring the bell and whilst I wait Lizzie joins me "hi" I look up and smile "hey!" Courtney opens the door wider and lets us in "happy birthday!" I hug her tightly, her coils cover my face blurring my vision "thanks Emmy" I pull away and smile. Lizzie hugs her whilst I take off my shoes and I walk through the house "hey dad" he turns around from the counter with a smile "his peanut. I didn't know you arrived" he puts his arm around me neck and I lean into him slightly "what are you doing? It smells nice" he lets go of me and I walk over to the counter "Courts birthday cake. What do you think?" I look down at it. It's brown with chocolate ganache and a few birthday candles, nothing snazzy "I like it" I tell him truthfully and run my hands down my waves hair. He laughs "your cheeky" I chuckle slightly and grab a glass down from the cabinet "we have rum if you'd like some of that" I turn around quickly "oh I'm off that now. Did mom not tell you?" I turn on the tap and smirk to myself "uh no. Me and your mother don't talk much atall" I roll my eyes and fill up the glass "well I have" "and that's good Em. I'm glad your finally getting over him" I roll my eyes and take a sip "what's that supposed to mean?" "Nothing bad, just that he died years ago and it's taken you along time to get back to who you were" "well yeah, it has. I was in love with him and we were supposed to get married and have kids. I watched him die Infront of me dad and now none of that is going to happen" my voice starts to raise so I stop myself before I shout. McKenzie walks down the stairs and I put a fake smile on "hey Em" she smiles opening her arms for a hug "hi" she hugs me and I look over her shoulder at Lizzie and roll my eyes "it's good to see your still in one piece" I pull away and smile "thank you". I walk away rolling my eyes, I'm not a fan of McKenzie mainly because she makes stupid comments like that and also because she's the reason my parents split up. I follow Lizzie into the lounge where the 'kids' are and sit on the couch next to Ashley "hey" she says and I smile back. Jake's in here too aswell as Mary-Kate and Trent, I say hi to them all and give Courtney her birthday present which is from both Lizzie and I. She takes the wrapping paper off slowly and smiles widely "oh my god! Thank you so much!" I smile back and look at Lizzie "we didn't know which to get you so we hope that the right one" she nods and takes it out of the bag "it is. Thank you both so much"  she gets up from the couch and hugs us both "your welcome".
