Thanks for the reviews so far from Moltz and justlovefanfiction2901, really helpful. I know I do rush my writing a bit I wish I had more time to spend on my story. Using writing at 3 in the morning to fit this into my crazy life.

Chapter 3

(Lizzy's POV)

Jane was really sad that the band were going away on tour. Charlie who couldn't bear to be parted from Jane had asked her to come with him but she couldn't leave her animals at the zoo for the six months they would be away. She promised to meet them on part of their tour along the way. The night before they left Charlie met Jane at the zoo and they watched the sunset after the zoo had closed and Charlie got down on one knee, produced a ring from his pocket and proposed. Jane cried tears of joy and flung her arms around Charlie and they decided they would set a date for the wedding after the tour was over.

Lizzy was delighted for her Jane. It had been a difficult few weeks having to face Will again after that fateful night and they managed to be civil for everyone else's sake, although Lizzy tried to keep away from Will as much as she could but they did part on speaking terms, just about.

A few weeks after the band had left to go on tour, Caroline Bingley invited Jane and Lizzy for dinner at her house in London. She opened the door with her fake smile fully in place. Jane was genuinely pleased to see her. Lizzy hoped she wasn't in for a dull night with Caroline boasting about all the rich people she knew. "Oh it's so wonderful to see you both" said Caroline in her snooty voice. "Come in what would you like to drink?" she asked.

"A white wine would be lovely" said Jane. Lizzy was tempted to ask for a bottle of Vodka to get her through the night but she agreed to some white wine as well.

"Are you sure you do not want champagne darlings as I have just had a few cases exported from France." The girls politely declined and Lizzy tried not to smirk at Caroline showing off her wealth as usual. "Oh yes your girls will not be used to such luxuries as I am used to". She said looking slightly sorry for them.

"True, that we are not used to champagne but I am happy with a good bottle of wine any day" said Lizzy.

As Caroline was talking to Lizzy and Jane she led them into her sitting room which was decorated far too extravagantly for Lizzy's tastes. To Lizzy it looked distasteful, silly and over the top in orange and gold. They sat down and Caroline handed Lizzy and Jane their wine while she sipped on champagne. "So Jane have you heard from my brother lately?" she asked.

"Oh yes" said Jane "he phones every day. I do miss him so much but he is really enjoying himself and that makes me happy" Jane said.

"Yes they seem to be taking the world by storm. Everyone loves them, they have so many admirers. They could have anyone they want" Caroline sighed.

"That's what makes Jane and Charlie's love even more special that he could have anyone he wants Jane" said Lizzy feeling slightly on the defensive of her Jane.

"I'm sure he does have feelings for Jane but it must get so lonely on tour and when all those girls are throwing them it must be tempting!" said Caroline matter of fact-ly. Jane stayed very quiet and looked slightly distressed. Lizzy was getting very angry but was trying to keep her cool.

"The other guys in the band told me that Charlie was never interested in anyone before he met Jane and that he thought until that point that Charlie could be gay" Lizzy stated.

"Well they would say that, I expect those boys like their little secrets" said Caroline

"You don't know anything of the sort, those boys would happily boast about what they were up to. Why would they lie about what Charlie was up to" fumed Lizzy.

"Well anyway it's very quiet without them in town. I miss the parties they have and I am sure William will be glad to come back he doesn't seem to like the attention as much and he is very fond of me. I'm sure we get closer every we see each other". Caroline said looking directly at Lizzy as she said this as if waiting for a reaction from Lizzy which disappointingly for her she didn't get, well not the one she hoped for. Lizzy was trying not to laugh; poor Caroline was delusional if she thought Will had any feelings for her. Unfortunately Lizzy knew who Will had feelings for. She was still in shock and had not shared what had happened the night Will had told her his feelings for her with anyone, not even Jane.

Lizzy still did not know what to make of Will, but she thought maybe she shouldn't have run off on him that night. Maybe she should have talked to him a bit more; maybe she should have got his side of the story about George Wickham. She had just been too confused, everything had been too much that night, finding out who the band really were, Will declaring his feelings, Lizzy not knowing if she could trust him or not and since they had only seen each other in company with other people since then and they had both found it awkward to talk to each other and nothing could be resolved. Poor Will looked very despondent, he had completely lost his arrogant streak, well at least that was something! That was a plus! She was starting to feel really sorry that she had hurt him. She couldn't deny that she was starting to think of him differently than she first thought of him but she didn't really know what that meant yet. She wanted to get to know him better.

Well while Lizzy was musing about all this Caroline and Jane were talking (well Caroline was doing most the talking), Jane hadn't completely recovered from the earlier conversation.

The chef came in say that dinner was ready (of course Caroline thought she was too posh to cook for herself). She had never bothered to learn to cook, unlike Charlie who had cooked Jane wonderful meals since they started seeing each other in particular he cooked amazing veggie food as Jane could not bear to eat animals Lizzy loved her red meat too much to become veggie even though she loved animals too but usually ate veggie when she was with Jane so she wouldn't upset her.

Sadly Caroline had not paid attention to this even though Jane and Charlie had told Caroline many times that Jane was veggie and the chef served sea bass for dinner. When Jane had to apologise that she couldn't eat it because she was veggie. Caroline laughed and said but fish is not really an animal, I know many veggies that eat fish.

"Well a fish is an animal Caroline!" Jane said raising her voice, it was the first time Lizzy had heard Jane raise her voice in years. Lizzy was wishing for that bottle of vodka again. This wasn't exactly turning out to be a great night; although she hadn't been hopefully beforehand, she had mainly attended for Jane's sake. Caroline huffed, called the chef and got him to rustle up something with the vegetables. It was very tasty, and Lizzy was certainly more impressed with Caroline's chef, than with Caroline.

The evening dragged on with Caroline going on about all the rich people her family knew and how they would all have to come to the wedding. Jane in her sweet quiet way was trying to tell Caroline that she and Charlie just wanted a small wedding and Caroline was telling her not to be so silly of course they would want a huge wedding. What girl wouldn't want a huge wedding?

Finally the night was over and Lizzy and Jane could escape. When they got back to the safety of Janes flat, Jane broke down in tears and said "Caroline's right you know Lizzy, he could have anyone he wants!"

"He loves you Jane, he loves you soooooo much, do not listen to her, he doesn't want anyone else. You will see him in a few weeks when you go and join the band in Queensland and you will be reassured how much he loves you" said Lizzy.

"Oh yes and I cannot wait, but Lizzy you must come and join me, you haven't had a holiday since you started your PhD. You need a break and you get on with the guys so well I think you will have fun and you will get to see a bit of Oz".

"I don't know Jane, you and Charlie need your private time" said Lizzy.

"Yes we will need some time but Charlie and the band will be really happy to see you too and you might be able to cheer up Will. Charlie says he has been really low in spirits since they went away, the only time he has seemed happy is on stage. He won't go to any of the after show parties and it has been difficult to get him to even do any interviews" said Jane.

"I am not sure I will be any help" said Lizzy.

"Lizzy is there something you are not telling me? I don't mean to pry but the night you left the party early, Will was in a right state. He was trying to hide it but Charlie and I both noticed a change in him. Is it anything to do with you? Lizzy realised it was time to confess.

"Will told me that night that he had feelings for me, and I was in shock and told him I didn't have feelings for him and left. He probably hates me now, I'm sorry I didn't tell you Jane, I just couldn't" said Lizzy apologetically

"Well that explains it, poor Will you must have broken his heart Lizzy!" said Jane sadly.

"I don't think so Jane, I expect it was a passing fancy, he will be over it soon, I just hope it will not make things difficult for you and Charlie if it is a bit awkward with me and Will for a bit.

"See Lizzy, this is even more reason for you to come to Oz, you and Will can sort things out and be friends, and then it will all be okay". Jane said smiling. Bless Jane to want everyone to be happy Lizzy thought.

"There is something else I need to tell you" and she told Jane what she knew about George Wickham and his misfortunes". Jane wasn't sure what to think, she hoped it wasn't true for Charlie and the bands sake but to think someone would make up a lie like that! " Please keep it to yourself for now Jane and I will see if I can find out more, do you see why I am not sure if I can trust Will?" begged Lizzy.

"Of course I will not say a word Lizzy about what has been said but I will ask around to find out more about George Wickham".

"Thankyou Jane".

"I will check that I can get some time off and maybe I will come to Oz with you Jane. It would be good to make peace, and awesome to see some of Australia, I have always wanted to visit".

Lizzy did manage to get the time off as of course she was way ahead with her research and had already put in many extra hours and Jane and Lizzy caught the plane to Queensland.
