"S-sister?"

"Yeah, sister. Me and Briy are closer than ever now. Eventhough she said she couldn't choose, she helped me get through it all. I started to hate myself. I thought I wasn't good enough for anybody. My mum and dad moved to America. That's how much they loved me. They always favoured Briy and Aspen. Never me." She continued.

"Darling, look at me," I grabbed her hands and turned her to face me, "You, Lauren, are beautiful. No one is better than you. I promise she will not hurt you ever again and I'm always on your side. I'm here to talk and you don't need your parents when you've got me. I'll keep you safe, love." I said truthfully.

Instead of answering, she kissed me. "I l-" I got cut off by someone opening the door.

"My babygirl. Come here." Briy came over to the bed.

"I can't Briyoni, I can't. She needs to go." Lauren hugged her. I've never heard Briy being called by her full name.

"I know Lauren. She's gone, I kicked her out. I just want to say I'm sorry for running up to her like that but you know that she's our sister. She's family and of course a tiny piece of me wanted to know if she was alright." Briy stroked Lauren's hair.

"I know, I know."

"By the way, Gee, Har and Ard are here." Briy smiled.

"What!" Lauren jumped up.

"Why do you all have nicknames for each other?" I asked.

"We all have long names, so it's easier to shorten them." Briy answered.

"Right so how many of you is there?" I asked.

"So there's me, Briyoni, Lauren-Leigh, Georgia, Harper and Arden-Rose."

"Why say my full name?" Lauren moaned.

"Because that's your name!" Briy smirked.

Lauren's p.o.v

So here we were. Me and Jack on one sofa. Briy and Joe on another with Caspar and Maddie on the other side. Oli and Megan were on one air bed whilst Mikey and Har were sat on cushions. Gee, Josh and Ard were all laid on another air bed. Add blankets, pillows and snacks and my room is crammed. All of this was in my living room.

Conor had gone home with her. Jack kept saying he was fuming with his brother but I kept saying it was alright.

It stuck on my mind what happened earlier. I'm sure Jack was going to drop the l-bomb. I don't think it's too early because now, we know everything about each other. I've got admit, I'm falling for him. Hard.

I know what you're thinking: what the fuck? But honestly, it's a big thing for me, ever since the whole thing happened, and I haven't really given myself to men, but there's something about Jack that I just can't stay away from.

"Laurie-Leigh!" Briy shouted. Oops, I was day dreaming.

"Yes, what?"

She chuckled. "What film?"

"I don't know, you choose." I still wasn't with it and Jack was on my mind.

"Come on, come and talk to me." Jack said.

I got up and trampled along the air beds with Jack behind me.

"Oi if your two are going to do it, keep the noise down please." Caspar laughed.

"Just remember that hashtag friend zoned!" I shouted and closed my bedroom door.

"What's bothering you?" Jack sat down on my bed.

"Well, what are we?" I got straight to the point.

Jack smiled, "What do you want us to be?"

"I just dont want to accidently get pregnant and the dad not even love me." I joked, "What do you want?"

He didnt even say anything. He just pushed me against the door and kissed me. "I love you."

"W-what?" I smiled.

"I said I love you." He smiled.
