-One month later-

"Audrey just broke the internet again!"

"Babe can you just shut up and help me ice Emma's cake?" I rolled my eyes

"Lyds, come on, look at this! Some assholes pulled a prank on Audrey pretending to be Piper and she stabbed one of them!"

"Oh my god, you're kidding right?" My eyes widened with fear, any time Piper's name was mentioned it sent ice through my veins and fear through my heart, "Audrey's okay though? She's not hurt is she?"

"You need to stop worrying, Audrey is absolutely fine." Jake pulled me into his side and kissed the top of my head reassuringly.

"First of all, you guys make me sick." Brooke shook her head, "And second of all, can we stop talking about this? It's Emma's first night back we don't want to freak her into another meltdown."

"She probably already saw it, I mean, my phone has been blowing up for like an hour."

"The rest of us wouldn't know, our phone isn't permanently in our hands like a conjoined twin." Jake only laughed at my remark, and grabbed Emma's cake out of my hands before setting it down on the coffee table.

"Hey!" Noah yelled as he walked through the door, "I brought our favourite internet hero!"

"That was awesome biatch, up high!"

Jake raised his hand as possibly high in the air as he could, he knew perfectly well that Audrey wouldn't be able to even reach his hand due to her height, and still, he chose to annoy her.

"Get this out of your system now Jake! Not another word when Emma gets here!" Audrey scalded, which only made the big idiot laugh and myself slap his arm.

"Hey! What was that for?"

"For being yourself."

"Emma just texted! She'll be here in a minute!" Kieran announced with a smile on his face.

After living a part from Kieran for almost a month, I had finally moved back home to be with him. Although I'd had a strong need to be away from my house, my need to be around my brother was much stronger, and so after three weeks of living in Jake's home, I went back to where I belonged. With my brother.

"What is that I smell?" Brooke teased him, "Sandalwood?"

"With a hint of citrus?" I added with a smirk

"Someone's pulling out the big guns for Emma."

"He sure is!" I laughed to myself, quickly I ruffled Kieran's hair, completely messing it up, before I ran away from him.

"Why are you like this?" He yelled after me.

Suddenly a knock sounded at the door and everyone froze for a moment, not knowing quite exactly what to do.

"Guys!" I hissed, "Get ready! Someone go answer the door!"

And the room was filled with chaos. Brooke and Noah ran around in the kitchen, trying to find candles for Emma's cake. Kieran quickly ran to answer the door, desperate to be the first to see Emma. Whilst Audrey, Jake, and I frantically ran around the living room trying to find our party hats and confetti.
