Chapter Six

"You like me," I said, a nervous smile on my face. He nodded, "This is real right, I'm not dreaming, OW," I glared at Cam who'd just pinched me. "Okay you three out,"
"But Rach," whined Jack like a little kid. "We want to see what happens,"
"You'll find out tomorrow," I said.
"Goodnight Rach," said Dylan, he hugged me, as did a reluctant Cam and Jack. The door shut, and I put a finger on Noah's lips as he was about to speak, I glanced at the door. If I knew my roommates they were listening with glasses on the door.

"So let me just get some blankets for Sarah," I said. "They're in the airing cupboard," the door opened and Dylan threw them onto my bed and then walked out again. I sighed, but I smiled, I knew they were just being the annoying big brothers I love although having said that Cam is only six months older than me. Noah put Sarah onto the camp bed and then we sat on mine.
"How long have you liked me," I said.
"Since you stuck up for me when the bitches told the Golden Couple about me," he said.
"I just didn't like how it happened, and when Finn hurt you like that," I shuddered, Finn had gone wild and really laid into Noah. "You didn't deserve that,"

"Well, anyway, I thought you weren't as bad as they'd all made out," he said.
"I'm not," I said. "I just behaved like that as a way to stop myself getting hurt, kind of like you do,"
"My ma's not been happy with me lately," he said.
"Then make her happy," I said. "Screw Finn, if he doesn't want to be friends again, then that's his problem, you've got me, and a world famous rock band on your side, you can't get much better than that,"
"They are awesome," he said.
"Yeah," I said. "I love them, they're my best friends,"
"So do you want to go out with me," he said. "And I mean as boyfriend and girlfriend, none of that friends with benefits shit,"
"Yes Noah," I said. "I'd love to be your girlfriend," he smiled a true smile, and then gently leaned forward, I did too and then our lips met. It was my first kiss, with real feelings behind it, passion and love. "That was amazing,"
"Yeah it was," said Noah.

We lay on my bed and cuddled for a while, "So I'm going to get changed into my pyjamas," I said. "Did you have anything appropriate,"
"No, I guess I forgot when we picked up Sarah," he said. "Normally I'd just sleep in my underwear," I nodded,
"Guys," I said. They opened the door a few minutes later, but I knew they'd been there all along, "Do you have anything Noah could wear for bed,"
"I have some sweats, you're bout the same size as me," said Jack. "Hang on a sec," he walked into his room and returned with the sweats, "Here you go,"
"Thanks," said Noah.
"Okay I'll leave you to it," I said. "We'll be in the lounge,"

"So are you together now or what," said Jack, as we sat down on the couch,
"I don't know you tell me," I said. "Come on guys I know you were listening,"
"We're happy for you," said Cam. "You deserve it,"
"You guys deserve happiness too," I said. "They would have wanted that,"
"We know," said Dylan quietly. "I can't believe it's nearly been 10 years,"
"It's scary how quickly it's gone by," I said. "We going to New York next weekend, I honestly think we should,"
"You don't have to come with us," said Jack.
"Of course I do," I said. "I'm coming to support you guys, because I know how much you'll need it,"
"You're amazing Rach," said Dylan, "You know that,"
"Thanks," I said. "And you guys are amazing too,"

So in the next few chapters I'll be explaining why Dylan, Jack and Cam don't live with their parents, I think you may be able to guess at least part of it, from what's just been said.
