We drive for about 20 minutes and go past a sign that says 'Melrose' "Cool! Like Melrose Place" I say and they both laugh. "Yes, i live in a fictional television series." Samuel says and I stick out my tongue at him. He does the same to me and Manolo laughs. "Stick them together and make some magic." He says while looking at us. "Dude, shut up!" Samuel says and goes to hit him but Manolo stops him. "Can't hit the driver!" He shouts while pulling up. When we pull up and get out, Skip walks out. "Hey." He says and hugs Manolo. "How is she?" Skip asks and Manolo. "They're all doing well. She had a boy." He smiles and nods. "Irish, what are you doing here?" He asks and Samuel looks down. "I went to the hospital, to make sure Sam was ok." I say and Sam smiles at me.

"yeah, yeah, just get inside and i'll make you coffee." He says and we smile. We walk in and Samuel looks shocked as he sits down. "Is something wrong?" I ask as he sits up on the counter. "Just weird being home." He says and I smile. I look around the open planned house and the pool in the back garden. "This place makes my house look like a shoebox. and i'm not even kidding." They laugh and Skip takes out the milk and sugar. "Milk and sugar, Irish?" I turn around. "She takes a little milk and two sugars." Samuel says subconsciously and we all look at him. "I said that out loud, didn't I?" He asks after taking a sip of coffee. We nod. "Yep." I say and sit beside Manolo. "So Irish, what's up with the clothes?" I look myself up and down and I nod. "Well somebody here wouldn't let me near him before he left for the hospital, and when I finally got Cameron to tell me I just ran for a taxi." He nods. "You didn't think of grabbing some pants before you left?" I look at him. "I think making sure someone ok is slightly more important than jeans, Skip." I say and Manolo takes out his phone. "Can I quote you on that?" I laugh. "Sure, why not." I say and take another sip of my coffee.

"When do you leave for Ireland?" Skip asks and we look at him. "I have no idea." I say and Sam nods. "Yeah, we leave like on sunday or something I think, but we haven't been given anything yet." Samuel says and I nod. "Your house is cool." I say and they nod. "Heated pool and a jacuzzi out the back. Just sayin'" Skip says in a hillbilly accent and I laugh. I get a text and look at it.

From: Lindsay
Is everything ok? we are worried here! Linds Xo

To: Lindsay
Yes, everything is fine. I'm at Skip and Sam's house with his brother Manolo, we're getting Sam's car and having some coffee. We'll be back soon. Xo

"Lindsay was texting to make sure everything was ok." I say and he nods. He finishes his coffee and gets up. "We better get going." I nod. "See you later guys." I say and we walk outside. He hits the button on his car keys and I look at the car;

A 70's Mustang

I run over to it and look at him. "What?" He asks and I nod. "Sweet ride." I say trying to compose myself. He smiles and walks over. We get in and he looks at me. "You love my car, don't you." He says calmly. "Sooooo Much." I say and clap my hands. He laughs and starts the engine. "This is like my dream car." I say and he smiles. He pulls out and starts cruising down the road. "Thanks for coming today." I smile. "Don't mention it." I say and he nods. "Even though I asked not to see you, you still came." I nod and look at the dashboard of the car. "What are friends for?" I say and he smiles. He pulls into the car park beneath the fire escape and turns round to me. "It means alot." I smile and he hugs me.

I try to get out but the door won't budge. I look at him and he gets out. He walks around to me and opens my door. "Skip put a childlock on it once, we still don't know how to get it off." I smile and we walk up the steps to see them waiting. Lindsay and Marissa basically lunge themselves at Sam and I walk over to Damian and Cameron. "Everything's fine." I say and they nod. I take Cameron's hoodie off and give it to him. "Well, i'm going to get changed." I say and walk in to the girls dorm.
