"let the party begin!" vanni grins. raising up the wine bottle.

rydel chuckles, scattering all of our movie choices onto the carpet. "i brought horror, romance, and comedy!"

"definitely romance!" raini exclaims.

i grab wine glasses from the cupboard, and place them each on the coffee table as i pour some in each cup, "i agree with raini."

rydel tosses the others aside and puts on
'ps. i love you.'

twenty minutes into the movie, tears were dripping down everyone's cheeks, and it only made me miss ross more. courtney and i were digging into ben & jerry's cookie dough ice cream, sobbing hysterically while raini, rydel and sav were eating oreos, and vanni ate popcorn all to herself.

"l-laura?" courtney whispers, in between sobs.

i nod, not taking my eyes off the screen.

"i-i just want to apologize to you, sincerely." she sighs, drawing attention towards us. raini lowers the volume to the movie, and everyone's head slowly shifts into our direction.

"i want to say i'm sorry for everything. for screwing up the VIP pass, for constantly texting and calling ross, for doing things just to make you angry in order to ruin your relationship. that was immature of me, and i'm really happy we're hanging out tonight." courtney says softly. i could hear how genuine she was being, and that meant a lot.

"thank you, courtney." i sigh, "i'm sorry too. i know i might've come off as a bitch, and insensitive but it's just because i was jealous at first. i should've understood that you still had feelings for ross, and i shouldn't of been so hard on you."

courtney smiles, appreciatively. "thanks, laura. it was just hard for me to realize he moved on, and met someone so great like you. i just want him to be happy, and i know he's happy with you."

i smile, pulling courtney in for a hug. "thanks, courtney. i'm glad we made up."

she chuckles, wiping away a tear. "i might also be talking to someone!"

everyone squeals, and jumps into our conversation. "what, who!"

she blushes, "his name is callum."

"give us the details!" raini exclaims.

"okay, okay." courtney giggles.

as everyone began asking courtney questions, i decided to call ross and say goodnight. he said he'd call me soon, but he never ended up doing so. i told the girls i'd be back, and they nodded, continuing their conversation.

i get up and walk into the bathroom. i sit on the toilet and dial ross' number. hearing it ring a few times before he answers.

"hello?"

"hey, it's me." i smile, hearing his voice.

"hey, laura." he says, softly. "how are you?"

"i'm good. all the girls are over for a sleepover." i tell him, "how are you?"

"i'm good too." he says, speaking over the chatter and loud music in the background.

"where are you?" i ask, covering my other ear. "i can barley hear you."

"i'm at a pub with my cast." he says, loudly. "can i call you back after?"

i frown, hearing people shout his name in the back. "yeah sure."

"i love you!" he yells over the music.

"i love you too." i sigh, hearing him laugh before he hangs up.
