Thank you all for your lovely feedback. Enjoy the next chapter :)

It had been over an hour to their journey. Tilly was feeling a bit sleepy as she had sat in the car for ages. Starring out the window. She noticed she was by the coast & could see a sign that said Brighton.

"You are taking to your home?"

"Yes I thought it's about time to show you where I am from. Plus we can spend some time alone" smiled Jen keeping her focus out of the road in front.

"I can't wait" beamed Tilly.

"Though we are going to staying with two of mates Lucas and Sian. They are expecting us. I would have booked a hotel but I can't really afford it…

"Jen I don't care. I am here with you. That's all that matters." Looking lovingly at Jen.

The girls had made it to Jen's friend's house. Jen friends lived in terraced house with a red door. Taking their bags out from the boot of the car. Tilly was feeling nervous which didn't go unnoticed by Jen.

"Hey" touching Tilly arm. "Don't be nervous. They will love you." Giving Tilly a quick kiss. Pulling away "but not as much as I do" smiled Jen & Tilly.

Jen unloading her car passing Tilly's bag to her. "Come on let's go" shutting the boot.

Jen and Tilly walked to the terraced house. Opening the creaky gate. Tilly shutting the gate behind her trying to lock it. "Leave it, It's been dodgy for years." Said Jen. Tilly walks over to the front door where Jen is standing. Knocking on the front door. Tilly becomes nervous. "Tilly don't worry, everything will be fine"

I'm trying not to" said an agitated Tilly.

Both the girls stand waiting outside when they can hear footsteps coming to the front door the door slowly opening.

"Hi, come in" waving his hands for two girls to enter. Both of them enter standing in the hallway. Jen drops her bag. "Hey" hugging Lucas. Both giving each other a squeeze.

"You made it then?" said Lucas

"Yep." Smiling in the embrace. Pulling away. Still holding each other arms. "I cant believe you're here. Its feel like forever seen you been back. We missed you"

Aaww well I'm here now"

I can see." Notiicing Tilly standing in the corner. "You must be Tilly. Jen has filled me in. It nice to finally meet you. Jen can't stop raving about you." Walking towards Tilly. Tilly hold out her hand to shake but instead gives her a hug.

"Lets go into the living room. Little bit crowded in here"

"Where's Sian? Asked Jen.

"Oh she's out with friends at the moment. Won't be back till later."

Come" walking towards the living room with Jen by her side. "I can't believe you're here." Beamed Lucas. Going to be messy weekend." Laughed Lucas.

The living room medium size. That had a modern feel about it. It had a lot pictures around the living room. Some were of Jen and her friends.

Moving across the room Tilly takes a seat next to Jen. "So what would you like to drink?"

"Wine please. That's if you have any?"

"Yeah I'll go and get some" Lucas answered. Leaving the girls in the sitting room and coming back with drinks.

"So Tilly, Jen tells me you're hoping to become a doctor? Taking a sip from his drink.

"Yeah, that's right. Though I got to get the grades. First"

"You will, I know so" Jen putting hand on Tilly's leg.

"So where you hoping to study. Well there are two places I am looking at one in London the other in Manchester."

"Sounds great. Well I hope you get in, what Jen tells me you will."

Tilly was a bit surprised that Jen had told her friends about her especially that they dated while Jen was her teacher.

Conversation between the three of them were in full swing until Lucas phone rang and left the room to answer it.

Turning to Tilly. "You okay? You gone a bit quiet?" rubbing her thumb over Tilly's arm.

Yeah I'm fine, just a bit shocked that he knows everything about us"

"Tilly even I'm surprised that I told him. But I knew that if I didn't then we would have to be kept telling lies and we all know how that worked out. At first he was angry because I didn't tell him. He found out from Liam and then I had him and the rest of the guys all saying I've made a big mistake but told me it was my life. Lucas know how much you mean to me" cupping Tilly face & kissing her.

Pulling away. "Lucas likes you so if you won him over you will win the rest of them over" taking Tilly lip again. Small gentle kisses.

Lucas walks into the living room. "I leave the room for one second and you're at it"

"We are hardly at it. Anyway Tilly was a little surprised that you know everything about me & her plus she's worried you wouldn't like her"

Jen!

"Tilly you needn't worry. I was a little shocked because I know Jen but the way she talks about you. I told her that she should bring her down here to meet everyone."

Both of them sat in the living room for ages chatting away, laughing and music being played in the background.

Tilly had gone to the bathroom. Leaving Jen and Lucas in the room. "So….what do you think of her…..isn't she great?" leaning closer

"Jen I think she's great. I'm surprised how much I like she's a right laugh. I think she will fit in well with us lot. Though you might have to keep Joe away from her."
