I made mum and Cam dinner and woke them up, now that we're all done mum suggested Ace to come over to watch a movie since she thinks of him as a son. Just as we're about to press play to watch Kingsman: The Golden Circle we hear the front door open and close.

"Darlin', can we talk?" We all hear hear and turn out heads to him at the same time.

"Fuck off, Ken" I scowl, I didn't think I'll see him today.

"Shut it, Ash!" He points at me with anger.

My mum takes a deep breath before speaking "kids, give your father and I sometime to talk" her voice soft like always.

"Mum, you don't need to.." I start but i am cut off by our mother.

"Please let us talk"

We all stand and head for the stairs, Ace and I both brush my fathers shoulder as Cam stays as far away as possible not looking his way.

We all go into my room and I fall onto my beanbag as Ace takes my gaming chair, Cam behind his in the middle on the bed laying in her stomach.

"Xbox?" Ace suggests.

"I don't feel like playing but I'll watch" Cam says.

Ace and I play Farcry 5 with the volume up to block out the muffled arguing from downstairs, I'd love to go down at stick up for my mother but I know she's tough and can stand her ground,

"You okay?" Ace asks Cam glancing back at her.

"Yeah, I'm just tired" she yawns.

"Go to sleep then, dickhead" I joke.

"You're the dickhead" She scoffs.

"You're both dickheads" Ace joins in and within that split second it feels like we're back in high school again.

"Yeah whatever, you've.." she trails off.

"You've..what?" I laugh waiting for her to continue thinking it's a bad roast.

"I didn't have a comeback" she admits.

"Idiota" I continue to laugh.

"You're one of those" she rolls her eyes.

A message comes through on my phone and I look down reading it.

Jules: Red, White or black lace?

I smile knowing what she's talking about, well I think I do and I hope I'll see Monday.

Me: All.

"Who is that?" Camila asks being nosey.

"None of your business" I pull the fakest smile turning my head towards her.

"Weirdo" she rolls her eyes again.

We continue to play, evening soon becomes night which consisted of laughing and joking around not thinking about our parents downstairs. I've been messaging Jules and the more texts that are sent the dirtier it becomes. I'm well aware my sister and best friend are in the room but..who cares.

Soon Cam goes to her room because she was falling asleep on my bed, Ace eventually left late and now I'm laying in bed staring at the ceiling once again.

My phone rings and I answer after reading the caller ID.

"Hello you naughty girl" I jokingly say.

Her giggles come through the phone, "Shut up" she tuts, "How you feeling anyway?"

"Good" I reply bluntly.
