Kitty and Evie have been the unstoppable team since we were young. Ever since my mum and barb were friends we connected like the sun rises. She stunning and beautiful, her dad is the owner of a very big textiles company- They are extremely rich. Kitty is smart, has the best accent, she's from England. We are always together, well that started three years ago. Before that the unstable team had another member, Kitty had an older brother.
Not just any other older brother, his sporty, handsome, awesome, well that's what I though I was 13 of course I had a HUGE crush on him! But he was smug and annoying. So about three years ago he moved to England with his uncle for some family stuff, not that I cared. It meant more quality time with my BFFL. That's when it all went down hill.
My mother got sick, cancer. It was terminal. She lasted a lot longer then any doctor had ever thought she could, she lasted two year. It was remarkable, every minute I spent with her was a blessing. But when she did pass, I had no where to go. SO the Gallagher's took me in, it was a hard time but I was living with my best friend it helped.

"Come on! you have to go," Kit's little bob comes into vision,
"what-" I glance at the clock, "IT' 6:30AM! Ki, why so early?" I know what she wants, the Governors ball is tonight and she wants me to come. Only because Jamie's going to be there, She knows that Jamie have had a past,
"can't you be adults your 16 his 17-that k-" I fake a cough, "EVIE ITS IN THE PAST! Plus if you get a sexy dress, make him jelly!" her little body stops jumping, honestly I'm surprised she kept it up for that long. Ah, the heart wrenching willow tree,
"fine! but let me sleep!" I protest stuffing my head back into the pillow, then I feel the comforter rip from my body,
"No, time Hun! we need to get your hair, make-up done and still find you a dress!" I have learnt, I now sleep in my shorts and a long sleeve baggy jumper. I wack on my uggboots.
"Okay, first I need a coffee, maybe two!" I shout after her, this is going to be a long day.

4 hours later and 6 dress shops later I finally found a dress Kitty and I both liked, she said if I'm going I have to look somewhat sexy, AS IF! We go to a near by café. Its little and old but kitty and I have been coming here since we were little, so many memories.
"Two Moca's please," kitty twirls her hair around her finger, she obviously flirting with the waiter. She flirts with everyone ,
"so, why do I even need to be there," I say eyeing kitty, she never makes me do stuff like this unless theres a boy involed and she needs me there for some apartnet reason,
"Okay so peet will be there, and I said we could ocme early coz you offered to take some photots and needed to set up," she speaks in a high pitched tone batting her eyelids to beg me then her smile flattens,
"what?" then lights up again, god what is with her? she looks at me then upwards with agiggle playing at her lips,
"geuss whos just got off the plain?" no, no, no, no! No, I look back down at what I wearing. He cant see me like this, "in case you couldn't geuss Jamie's walking throught the door right now," I slid down the chair hoping he wont see us and my plan was working until kitty spoke ,
"Brother! gosh its been ages," dam it! I mentally slap myself, why, why is he here now why! I sink lower hoping his still his smug self and wont realise, but no,
"Van?" his deep English accent opens the gate to my heart, I look up at him. NO, cant be him, I have to be looking at an angle. His undicribly hot, like holey-smoke-im- fan-girling hot! perfect hair swooped over to the side, his blue eyes so much more dangerouse then his sisters. All that was left of my pride fell out the widow at the mere sight of him, "it is you!" I stand feeling obliged to,
"hey," before I know it his given me a hug, a real akward one at that.But I cant help notice that he is a good two heads taller then me and the fact that I want to stay like this, in this moment for a long longer . Wow, god he has changed in everyway,
"so wanna join us for launch," dam kit why?! And even worse, he looks like he actually wants to sit with us! GREAT! but hey, he might of changed, possible?
"I would love to," he pulls out a seat next to me, oh god why next to me? I feel his knee inches from mine,
"Okay, I'll grab some cookies." Kitty says grabing her purse, eyeing me and Jamie. This is her brother! Why is she trying to hook me up with him?
"Hey, I'm sorry about your mum," a lump forms in my throat, I look up at him he look genuinely sad as well,
"Thanks," I give a shy smile, the giddy feeling f him being here hasn't left,
"You look...ah, good, you have grown as well," I blush a little, things just got awkward. He scratches the back of his neck. I brake the unbearable silence
"Thanks. How was England?" Small talk won't keep up for long, I know I have doctors appointment soon so I just hope it comes quickly!
" not that bad, You going to the Governs ball?" His eyes burning into mine, his eyes glow a dangerous blue. I'm glad I got the dress I did, it has a black felt rounding the sale of my chest, lace with a black see through under top, it hangs low in the floor still black, with Dimond going down the side, we are getting our hair done after my appointment.
"Yea, kitty needs me to get to a boy. You?" I take a sip of my WAY TO HOT mocha, I secretly hope he comes. I bet he would look good in a tux,
"Well I might just have to," what was that supposed mean? Nothing! It means nothing! Just as I was about to say something my phone buzzes, sweat sound of a ringing phone a good excuse to end this conversation, "sorry got to get this," I push the chair away from the table, thankful to end that conversation. I smile at kitty and look at the caller ID: BARB,
That's odd.
