NOAH

Shut up Benny.

ALLIE

Girlllllll! They're hot as fuck. You really do have your own harem! Get that dick. The blonde guy definitely knows what he is doing. Hot damn!

ME

You guys are fucked in the head haha!

But seriously, I’ll bring them Saturday so you guys can meet them. Please be nice.

DANIEL

We’ll be sure to give them a very warm Aussie welcome ;)

MIKE

You cunts talk too much. Can’t wait to meet them Scar!

I snicker quietly. Mike's not the chatty type. He's by far the quiet one of the group. Sometimes I think he only deals with us because he knows we'd give him no other option.

NOAH

Fine, you can bring them. But you are still my sister.

I smile at Noah’s reply. He and I have been close from the moment we met. If Grace is my soul sister, Noah is my soul brother. From day dot, our friendship has been completely platonic. While I am not oblivious to the fact that Noah is gorgeous, it's just not like that between us. Over the years, we have been the subject of speculation one too many times. Yet it works for us. Especially if there is ever unwanted attention aimed our way at parties. One of us always notices the other in need and comes to rescue the day.

ME

ily Noah <3

NOAH

love your face <3

“I guess the fact that you are smiling means that the photo worked,” Dawson says, coming to stand in front of me.

“Yeah,” I laugh, “Noah did say something about killing you if you hurt me but he is like a little chihuahua, all bark no bite.”

“Ahh, I would beg to differ.” Sonny cringes. “Have you actually seen those little psychos? I would much prefer a big pitbull over one of those guys any day.” We all laugh at Sonny. But honestly, he isn’t far off the mark on that one.

“I’m looking forward to meeting all of your friends, Scar. Grace left a very interesting impression.” Pike says with a cheeky smile, I groan, remembering the state Grace was in on my birthday. That girl has been in some states before and shit, that was by far one of the better ones.

“I can’t promise that the impression the rest of my mates will leave will be any better. They are a bunch of loose units.”

Eventually we sit back down on the couches. Nicky suggests putting on a movie and we all agree. The guys let me decide on the movie choice. I decide to give the guys a bit of a culture lesson and put on The Castle for us to watch. The guys are hooked from the get-go. I stay awake for about ten minutes of the movie but my eyes slowly drift shut. I’m jolted awake to the feeling of being lifted into someone’s arms.

“Shh, go back to sleep Scar. If you don’t mind, you can sleep in my bed.” I nod sleepily but recognise it's Dawson who has me in his arms. His words are fussy thanks to the exhaustion but I relax back into his hold.

Through my half-asleep half-awake state, I feel Dawson lay me down in his bed. I hear him begin to step away but grab his hand before he can get too far. I crack my eyes open and although they are blurry, I see his silhouette.

“Scar?”

“Stay with me.” I mumble groggily.

“Are… are you sure?” He hesitates but I just pull him closer.
