"What...the hell do you want Sylvie?", Alex asked, stepping out of the taxi.

"Nothing...", Sylvie smirked.

"...I thought it was you so I just came to say, hi".

"Yeah well, bye", Alex said as she turned away.

"Oh, and you've brought the whore who broke us up?", Sylvie said as she gave me a rude look.

"Erm, no. That wasn't Piper's fault, I didn't want to be with you Sylvie", Alex yelled.

"Aw, Piper such a cute name...", she said as she began playing with my hair.

"Get off her!", Alex shouted as she hit away her hand.

"Still feisty aren't you", Sylvie giggled.

"Sylvie, haven't you got something else to be getting on with?", Alex spat.

"Actually I do..."

A few seconds later, a woman with bleach blonde hair came up behind Sylvie and took her hand.

"Sylvie come onnn, I want to go to that bar!", the woman said, tugging at her hand.

"Okay babe I'm coming", Sylvie replied, giving me and Alex a smile.

"Bye Alex..."

"...whore", she said to me before leaving with that tramp.

"Ugh she's so annoying", Alex said as she got into the taxi.

"I know...and who was that with her?", I asked.

"I don't know, and I don't care...anyway babe lets just go home", Alex said as she took my hand.

It only took us around 5 minutes to get home, we could've walked but we were just too drunk.

"Thank you", Alex said as she leaned down to hand the taxi driver the money.

I saw him checking her out so I grabbed her hand and slammed the door behind her.

We made our way into my parents house which I really wish we didn't.

As we walked through the door, it was quiet.

"Mom? Dad?", I shouted through the house.

"In here Piper!", my mom shouted back.

I walked into the kitchen holding Alex's hand to see my mom, dad, Larry and Polly...

It looked like they had all had a drink because there was wine glasses, beer cans and empty shot glasses covering the table.

"Oh god", I whispered over to Alex.

Alex's grip on my hand tightened and she stood closer to me.

"Mom...a word?", I said.

"No Piper come on over and join us, we're having a great time", my mom slurred.

I sighed and walked over to the table with Alex.

We took a seat and looked awkwardly across at Larry and Polly.

We were all drunk, apart from Polly.

"So Polly when're you due?", I break the silence.

"Uh, August 15th", she replies trying to smile.

"How sweet"

"Yeah..."

"So you'll have two babies then, one with Pete and one with my ex-fiancée. Isn't life great?", I giggle.

"Piper for heavens sake...", my mom mumbles.

"Another drink?", Larry asks as he raises a wine bottle.

"Fill me up", I say as I push an empty glass toward him.

"Me too", Alex said.

Me and Alex decided enough was enough so we got up to head upstairs.

"Piper?", my mom said just as I was about to leave the kitchen.

"Yes mom?", I reply.

"Polly and Larry are going to stay in your room because you have a double bed"

"So?! Where are me and Alex going to sleep?", I yell.

"In the spare room?"

"There's a single bed, for one person, and there's two of us?!"

"Well...Polly's pregnant Piper don't be selfish!"

"Why are they even here anyway?!"

"Because! Me and your father are still friends with them, and you're going to sort whatever this is out!", she snaps.

Polly and Larry stared down at the floor.

"Whatever...come on Alex"

I took Alex's hand and lead her upstairs.
