four months later

Start from the beginning
                                    

i picked out the dog toothed skirt and white cropped jumper. simple but effective, i paired it with my black doc martins, they'd become a staple in all my outfits at this point. i brushed my hair and applied light makeup before rushing back down the stairs to see george finishing off the food

"go hang with rose it's all okay" he said

"thank ya georgie"

"you look nice ... by the way"

"why you being nice?" i asked suspiciously

"because sometimes i can be"

"okay sure we will go with that" i said sarcastically

i headed into the garden to get rose, i still had to get her ready, i had the perfect outift laid on her bed i just wanted her to play outside for a while first, she was a child after all and if she wanted to play she should.

i walked past george taking care to knee him as i did so, he smiled at me and shook his head. ur was nice having him here.

i changed rose and she was looking beautiful, she had a gorgeous blue top on with a flower pattern and a matching skirt

"mummy" she said pointing her little fingers at my face

"anddddd?" i asked

"daddy!" she squealed

she had begun to speak a lot more lately which was good because for a few months i was worried about the rate of her speech as she wasn't speaking too well. matty and the doctor assured me it was fine though, i couldn't help but worry.

i walked back downstairs with rose before i saw matty stood with george, he was wearing black jeans, no holes for once and a white jumper

"how can you steal me look" i laughed at him

"you stole MY look love" he said pulling me towards him

"happy birthday healy" i said brushing his hair out of his eyes

5pm

ross and adam has arrived now and we were about to give matty his final big present. we were all sat outside with the fire, i had grace on my lap as she watched the embers from the fire. she was mumbling words that sounded like

"the fire" but i couldn't be sure if she was just tired at this point, she'd been up a long while without a nap.

"matty?" ross asked

"yes ross"

"remember when you said you really wanted to go to the caribbean?"

"i do"

"well" george said passing him a envelope

"no" matty breathed as he held the tickets in his hands for the plane

"happy birthday!" adam said

"from all of us" george and ross said

"you guys-" he said speechless as he held the tickets between his fingers

"don't, you deserve it" ross said

"how did you get my pass-"

"grace helped" adam said

i shrugged my shoulder

"you deserve a holiday"

"are you sure you're okay with it?" matty asked

"matty, you're 23 have a lads holiday"

he looked weirdly at me like i couldn't handle him being away, i could

"but this says we leave tomorrow?" matty said completely lost

"cos you leave tomorrow idiot" i joked

"i love you guys" he said

"n we love you" adam said

"this is gonna be a holiday to remember" ross said

"oh let's be real it's gonna be a mess" adam replied

"4 days in the Caribbean what could go wrong?" george laughed
