Kassidy's POV-
I walk downstairs where I see Taylor with his head in his hands and Matt is in the kitchen. I hold a grip onto the railing as I slowly walk down the stairs.
"What's going on?" I whisper.
"She's gone," I hear Taylor say. I could tell he's crying by his voice. It's weak and mellow, which is definitely not how Taylor talks.
Before I could reply, I knew it had to be Gianna. Not one girl has ever made Taylor cry.
I froze on the stairs. "Well, where is she?" I ask, softer.
"The airport getting on her flight back to Indiana," Matt says softly.
I sigh and walk down. "What happened? You guys were fine yesterday!" I shout.
Matt rushes to my side and keeps a grip on my shoulders.
"I want Jill back!" he shouts back.
My jaw drops and my eyes go wide while my eyebrows pull in. "Jill?" I whisper.
He nods.
I open my mouth, wanting to say something, but the words don't come out. I pull away from Matt's grip and I run out to the back where the spiraled staircase leading to the shallow waters of Bora Bora. I sit on the last stair and look out. Planes fly by. Who knows? That just might be Gianna's flight home. I scoff and shake my head, burying my head in my knees. I hear the stairs creak and I turn around to see Taylor walking down.
"Hey," he says.
I nod and put my head back in my knees. "What is it Taylor?" I mumble.
"I'm sorry," he says.
"For what?"
"For driving away your best friend."
I pick my head up, "But why Jill? Why Jill Montez? What's so special about her?"
He shrugs.
"Why couldn't you just keep Gianna?"
He shrugs again as tears fall down his cheeks.
I stand up and stomp up the stairs.
Taylor's POV-
I sit there on the last step of the spiraled staircase while Kassidy stomps up the stairs. I sigh and wipe away the loose tears. I sit out there for a good 10 minutes. What am I doing to myself?
Kassidy's POV-
I lie on the couch with my face in the cushion. The cushion dips and I look up. Matthew, somebody I really need right now. I sit up and almost instantly jump into his arms. I cry and cry knowing that my best friend is gone because of Taylor wanting to get back with Jill. I have no one to go dress shopping with today.
"Matt we need to cancel the wedding," I say.
"But-" He was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Ughh!" I get out of his grasp and wipe away the mascara as I walk towards the door.
I take a deep breath and I open the door. Who I see standing there is someone I don't need right now. Jill Montez. I slam the door on her face and turn around, leaning my body against the door and sliding down with my back.
Matt stands up and walks over to me, "Who was it?"
I shake my head and pick myself up to run upstairs.
Matthew's POV-
I stare at Kassi as she runs up the stairs. Maybe I chose the wrong time to come to Bora Bora. I grab ahold of the doorknob, scared of who might be there. Dan? Dylan? Ashley?
Hesitating, I open it and see all my long lost friends; Jill standing in front of the group. "Hey Matt!" she says in her squeaky voice.
I fake a smile and welcome them all in. Jack G walks in with Brianna who's pushing a stroller.
"You guys-" I ask.
Brianna laughs and nods, uncovering the stroller. I look in and see a little, chubby, baby girl sleeping.
"She's adorable, isn't she?" Jack asks. I nod with a huge grin.
"How old is she?" I ask.
"Matt, where's Taylor?" Jill asks.
I point to the back and Jill follows my directions. "So how old is she?"
"Two years old." Brianna smiles down at the baby. I smile too.
"We actually have two, and we're gonna soon have a third!" Jack says, thrilled.
"Congratulations you guys! Where's the first?" I ask.
"In the car, lemme get her," Jack says, jogging down the stairs to the taxi. "Help me, Matt?" I follow Jack and look in the left mirror. Dan.
I grab the suitcases and look back. He winks at me and smiles. Once Jack has her, we head inside. I close the door behind us and I lead Brianna and Jack to the couches so we can catch up.
"So three?"
Jack nods and Brianna smiles.
"What're their names?" I ask, rubbing the little girl's head softly.
"Well, the one I'm holding is Lucia, she's six, the one in the stroller is Caitlyn, she's two, and the soon to come is Virgio, he's seven months," Jack answers.
I smile. I can't believe I haven't talked to my friends in this long where they're having kids. Are we really getting near this point of our lives?
"I'm gonna go catch up on Megan and Cameron," I smile.
They both nod and Jack lies Lucia down on the couch.
I go out to the back porch where Megan is holding a baby and Cameron is playing peek-a-boo with her. "Hey guys," I say. "I see you've got kids too." Cameron looks up at me and nods with a smile. I sit next to Megan, on her left. "What's her name?"
"Alexia," Megan giggles.
"Cam, you like having a kid?"
"I love it man, it's amazing," he says, continuing to play with the little girl. I smile and stand up to bring down Kassidy.
...
"Kassidy, come on! Everyone is downstairs," I yell-whisper.
"Gianna's not."
I sigh. "C'mon there's three kids downstairs that we can play with and hold. Don't you want kids?"
She nods and gets up, grabbing my hand. I intertwine our fingers and kiss the top of it. We walk down and once Kassidy sees everyone, she let's go of my hand and runs to our old friends.
"Brianna!" she shouts, running to her.
"Kassidy?!"
They softly collide because of Brianna's stomach. After Kassi hugs Brianna, she hugs Jack and sits on Brianna's right and I sit on Kassidy's right, wrapping my arm around her left shoulder.
"Can I hold the baby?" she asks, with blushed cheeks.
Brianna giggles as she grabs Caitlyn and hands the baby to Kassi. Kassi holds her gently and rocks her back and forth. I stare at Caitlyn and hold my finger in her tiny hand and she grips it. I see tears beginning to hit Caitlyn's onesie. I look at Kassidy and she's looking down at the baby with a big smile on her face and tears falling down her cheeks.
"She's beautiful," Kassi whispers. "She feels like one of my own. We tried to have kids but I had 4 miscarriages and now I give up on trying."
I rub Kassidy's back and I kiss her temple. She hands the baby to Brianna and crawls into my chest, quietly crying.
I rub her back and I begin to tear up too. Not just herself lost the four babies, we lost the four babies."
