"I knew you were using me," Liz gives me her best innocent girl smile and I freeze.

I'm seated in her glamorous office, at her table and she's busy with her laptop, while talking to me of course.

"What?" I choke out and she fake-chuckles.

"I've been used all my life Brittany, did I tell you that Jason Summers is my brother and Kimberly Summers is my sister? so yeah....I've practically been used all my life so I know what it's like," she smiles, only that it's forced and she's talking through her teeth.

And woah-- she's got a gang of famous siblings.

"And your brother beat your boyfriend in the rink," I complete the story for her and she winces. I definitely crossed a line.

"I don't like talking about that," Her face falls. "Don't talk about my boyfriend's accident, especially when he's here, please," her voice has a warning tone to it.

"What's it like?" I ask and she raises a brow at me, "Having a boyfriend you're sure of, and you know he's sure of you," And now she relaxes, it's almost like talking about Aaron puts her at ease. And it's cool to watch.

"It's amazing, I mean I know he's always there for me and he loves me," she pauses, "And the sex, I'm even surprised I'm able to walk to work," she grins. "The sex is amazing, it's like I'll never get enough of his body," And now she's off to Aaron-West-Land.

"I'm sorry I tried to use you," I mutter and she smiles.

"It's okay, I just wanted to hear you apologise," she smiles.

"And I need a job," I finally get the words out. After a heated argument with Jodie this morning, I'm finally doing this, asking Liz for a job. Score one for Brittany. "I know you need a brand model and I want to be it, I'd do anything for you--"

"It's fine, I've actually been waiting for you to ask," She grins and my heart leaps. Like literally leaps for joy.

"I thought you'd say no," I laugh nervously.

"Nah," she smiles and gets back to her laptop.

"Devin Anderson, does the name ring a bell to you? I remember you talking about him," She asks me and for some reason, my heart literally stops.

"Yeah, he's my ex boyfriend, why are we talking about him?" My voice shakes. I fucking hate Devin and his stupid name.

"Um..... you're not going to like this but he got drafted by Seattle and the guys are throwing a party tonight to welcome all the new rookies," She pauses, "Which means, he'd be there," she sighs. "And I was going to invite you--,"

"I'd be there, I don't give a fuck about my over-achiever ex boyfriend," I give her my best "I've got this" face and she smiles.

"Now that's the spirit, I'm just going to need your signature on a few papers," She grins. "Trust me, the moment you work here, everyone would want to work with you,"

I just smile at her as thoughts of my twin sister invade my mind. Would Rose be happy with this? Would she be proud of me wherever she is? This was our dream, would she be happy with the fact that I'm doing this alone?

I have no answers to these questions, all I know is, I'm willing to give this a shot.

◈◆◆◆◆◈◆◆◆◆◈

Apart from the Devin bomb, today is actually a good day. Jodie let me stay with her as long as I agreed to get a job and pay the bills with her. So right now, I'm in an Uber, heading home to get my stuff. My father gets the door and a pained expression flashes in his eyes.

I know what he's thinking, and I'm not going to talk until he does. I walk past him and I head to the room my sister and I shared. The room that still haunts me till this day--

"So you're just gonna leave?" He asks behind me.

"Think of it as a favor, dad, you've got one less kid to worry about, besides I was never really staying here anyway," I say without looking at him. I remember the last time he had this exact look on his face; it was after Rose's death and Mom left. He felt abandoned, hell, we all did. Even though I still got to talk to Mom, I can't deny that Rose's death affected her in every way possible. And I have to live with the fact that I took that away from them, I tore our family apart. Rose was the perfect child, and I was the child battling with asthma attacks.

"Don't talk like that, Lily," And there he goes, calling me by the name I have chosen to forget.

"Don't call me that," I say through my teeth. "No one has called me that since Rose died and no one is about to start calling me that now,"

"Sweetheart, it's okay if you want to leave," he sighs, "But just know, this door is always open if you need anything, you're a grown woman now, and I'm not going to stop you," He pauses and I turn to stare at him, eyes watering and all. "I love you, always have that at the back of your mind,"

"I love you Dad, but this house-- this room has so many memories, and I don't want to cry, I'm done crying, that's why I can't stay here, I need to move on," I tell him. Dad doesn't say anything else. No. He just pulls me into his arms and hugs the shit out of me.

"You're leaving for good?" Tyler appears at the doorway and Dad and I pull away from each other. "I already lost one sister, I'm not losing another," he says.

"You will always see me, you're friends with Justin and I'm friends with his brother and his brother's friends--," oh my gosh I just called Sexy Nick a friend. It's the tears and the house, yeah..... that's it.

"It won't be the same," he states matter-of-factly.
"I'm going to hug you, but don't tell anyone I did because you are so annoying," he teases and I pull him into a hug. "I love you, Lily.....even when you annoy the shit out of me--"

"Guys, language, I'm standing right here," Dad interrupts.

"We know," we both chorus and he chuckles.

"Alright, alright....who I'm I to interrupt a sacred sibling moment," There goes Dad, trying to be funny. And Tyler chooses this awkward moment to end the awkward hug.

Tyler helps me pack my stuff and Jodie picks me up in a-- drumroll-- brand new car she just got. Apparently she's being saving for it for a year while I have been spending all my money on my wardrobe.

I end up inviting Jodie to the party for the "New Rookies." Liz texts me the address, which is-- drumroll again-- Nick's house. So yeah, the inevitable is happening. I am seeing Nick again tonight and I am going to really try not to think about his amazing cock and his dominant-in-bed side every time I look at him. And not to forget, my douchebag ex is going to be there so, I have to put on my "I've moved on, you useless jerk" face.

"Devin was drafted to Seattle?!" Jodie screams while I apply my makeup. "How did we not know this? And why is he going to be successful all of a sudden?!" Now she's screaming. "This is not good,"

"Yeah, he's not supposed to be successful," I sigh, then I change the subject, "What are you looking forward to, tonight?"

"Well, apart from kissing Alex, I am looking forward to seeing my runaway big brother," Her voice tenses as she gets to the "runaway big brother" part.

I turn to face her, "Okay, I'll bite, who is this runaway big brother who sounds like an asshole?"

"Hudson, Hudson Ace-- before you question the surname thing, I chose our Dad's and he chose our Mom's," she fake-smiles.

"Wow, so your brother has been a successful hockey player all this while, and he doesn't know you still exist?"

"Actually, he's going to know tonight," She smirks.

"This night is definitely off to an interesting start," I say more to myself than her.

◈◆◆◆◆◈◆◆◆◆◈

Jodie drives us to Nick's place, and when we get there, the place is already super packed with lots of ladies. Luckily, Liz and another girl that looks a little bit familiar find us immediately we pull into Nick's super expensive driveway.

"Hi girls, you made it!" She screams and hugs us both as we step out of the car.

"Wanna introduce me?" The familiar girl smiles at Liz, then at us.

"Oh, right, my manners.....Jodie, Bri, meet my famous sister-- I don't usually boast about her but I am feeling like a proud baby sister tonight so sue me-- Kimberly Summers," Liz grins and Jodie let's out a scream. Yep, we're fangirling tonight.

"Oh my gosh! You were in that movie! Oh my Gosh, Bri, this is our lucky night!," Jodie screams as we both take turns hugging and gushing and Kimberly who just shrugs like it's nothing to be a multi-million dollar award winning Hollywood actress.

We make our way inside the house.

The party officially begins for us.

I lose Jodie twenty minutes into the party and I'm totally cool with that because she's a big girl and she needs to have fun. I get to hang out with Kimberly Summers-- yes I'm still fangirling, sue me-- and I bombard her with tons of questions about her career and she answers everyone of them. Liz on the other hand is getting drunk with her best friend, Diane-- who I just met-- and Diane's girlfriend, Yvonne-- who is Aaron West's cousin.

I've made it an hour into the party and I've not seen Nick, or any of Seattle's hottest men. Now I really want to see Nick. I want to know what he looks like tonight, the kind of cologne he's wearing--

"B," someone calls behind me and I freeze. I freeze because I know that voice, and because it's the fucking voice of my douchey ex.

"Devin," I turn to face him and I notice his throat bob at the sight of my clothes. Score one for Brittany Cole tonight.

"Fancy seeing you here," he smiles. There was a time that smile brought butterflies to my stomach, you know what I feel right now? void, fuckin void.

"Fancy seeing you here too," Yep, playing dumb usually works.

"I actually got drafted so this party is for me, and a couple of other guys," He smiles. It's so full of pride. He's trying to tell me, "See, I'm doing just fine."

"I didn't know you were ever going to get drafted," I roll my eyes. Okay, I'm lying, there was a time I believed in this guy...... unfortunately, now is not one of those times.

"Well, life is full of surprises," he smirks evilly. So come next season, Nick is going to be on the ice with this guy..... fantastic. I actually feel bad for them right now, Devin has always been a cheat. A motherfucking backstabbing cheat.

"Hey Bri," Warm, huge, tattooed arms wrap around my waist and warm breath fans my ear as warm soft lips plant a single wet kiss on my neck. Nick Stones. Remember when I talked about the whole butterflies in my stomach thing? Yeah, you see..... they're back. The fucking butterflies are dancing in my belly. Great.

But it wouldn't hurt to just play along, right?

"Hey, Nicky," I lean into him, planting a small kiss on those warm lips-- which only makes me regret the gesture because I instantly crave more of him.

"I don't think we've formally met," Nick tells Devin who suddenly looks like he wants to disappear. "Nick Stones, Seattle's Iconic Defenseman," he reaches out for a handshake and they shake hands.

"Devin Anderson, Rookie," Devin grinds out. Wait, is he upset? He can fuck off for all I care.

"Good, come on, Babe," Nick says to Devin's hearing as he takes my hand and leads me upstairs. I catch a glimpse of Jodie talking with Alex and she winks at me. A wink that says, "I want all the details."

What can I say? It's definitely going to be a fun night.

It's official guys....
