Naomi Black

Sloane Beck was known for her body.

"Mmmm Naomi—did you see what the lovely Miss Beck posted on her instagram today?" Reese moaned out as I gave him a look. "Blondes are my weakness." He winked at me before pausing.

"Except if you're down for me—then I'd totally be into brunettes." He breathed out the sentence as I let out a loud laugh. He took Mimi from my arms.

"Mimi. Sissy loves you." I give her many kisses. I looked up at Reese as he smiled down at me.

"Mhmm. NJ—Reese loves you too." He tries to kiss me as I step back and give him a look. He just winked at me and hoisted Mimi up so she sat better into his arms.

"Please be gentle with her—Reese please." I bat my eyelashes at him as he scrunches his face up at me. He turns on his feet as I watch Mimi descend down the hallway with him.

"Matti! She's giving me that look again—might wanna go satisfy her needs!" Reese called out as I heard him sit at the kitchen table with Mimi.

Matti's footsteps approach me from behind as he wraps his arms around me. We had gotten in late last night, I stayed the night here which means I woke up to a house full of boys and Mimi hiding in my arms because of them.

"You okay?" He speaks as he bends down to my ear. I sigh, "You promise you'll take care of her?" I asked as he nodded. "Cross my heart and swear to lose a national championship baby." He kissed the top of my head as I sighed.

"She's the only thing I have left." I remind him as he nods.

"Yes mam. I promise our baby will be okay." He hugs me as I chuckle. "I have to go back to my apartment now. The girls are there." I state as he nods.

"Want a ride?" He asks as I nod.

"Lemme take her." I turn around to see Blake leaning against the doorway, arms crossed. I raise my eyebrows. "Yo—what? When did you do that?" I point to his arm that was covered in a tattoo. Matti raised eyebrows looking at it and pursed his lips.

"Yesterday." He blandly states. Matti nods and shoves me towards Blake as Blake wraps his untatted arm around me. "C'mon sis." Blake mutters and shoves me towards the front door.

I giggle as Matti blows me kisses. "I love you!" Matti calls out as Blake shoves me out of the house.

"We're siblings now—huh?" I ask as I walk towards the Tesla. He smirks and presses the button for the door to open. "I guess I can stand you even when it means not pissing my dad off." He winks at me as I get into the car. He repeats my actions and then the doors shut on their own accord.

He backs out of the driveway.

"So—how's sex with my best friend?" He asks as I raise my eyebrows.

"Good. How's sex with my best friend?" I spit back at him as he let out a loud laugh.

"You're funny Naomi." He doesn't crack as I give him a look. He looks from the road to me and smiles. "What?" He asks as I shake my head and smile.

"Nothing. Nothing at all..." I lead off as he chuckles.

"Good. Well—she's with Caden anyways." I respond as he side-eyes me. "Is she with Caden?" He says in a shock as I look at him with a confused face.

"I kid, I kid. She is still with Caden." He smiles at me as he turns down College Ave. I nod. Caden had grown distant really from all of us, it sucked, but it was his own choice.

There was still no word to Finn about Sloane fucking her brother, but it was going to be a very sensitive subject whenever the truth was outed. I already knew how Finn felt about her brother always getting everything handed to him—she actually had to put forth an effort, hence why Caden was off-limits and vice versa.

"I want to apologize for my dad." He states as I chuckle. "Blake it's really okay—seriously fuck him." I respond as he chuckles. "How do you deal with it?" I ask as he turns into my complex.

"He's my key into my future so I have to." He admits as I look at him in confusion.

"I'm a political science major." He confirms as I slowly nod. "Political science huh?" I ask as he chuckles and nods.

"Let me guess: rich get richer and the poor get poorer?" He parks the car as he turns to wink at me.

"Not answering that, now get out of my car. Also, thanks for the confirmation that he was fucking you. He wouldn't tell us a word." He gives me a cheeky grin as the car door automatically opens.

I give him a look of shock and hop out of the Tesla. He waves with the grin still present on his face. I walked away from the sports car to the lobby of my apartment building—I couldn't wait to see the girls.

My bag smacks against my side as I walk up the stairs to the first floor. Before I could reach for my keys, the door flung open and I pulled in.

"AH! Guys the virgin is here!" Finn screams, shaking my body. I let out laughs as she jumps up and down around my body. "Just kidding! Not the Virgin anymore—she's on a round trip to hell now! I call dibs on sitting next to her!" Finn continues to scream.

I let out a loud laugh as Sloane appeared at the bottom of the hallway. She stands in a robe, soaking wet, hair in a towel, face covered in a teal face mask, and a toothbrush in mouth.

I wrap my arms around Finn and pull her with me to Sloane, who joins us in our jumping circle. "I'm coming—I'm coming!" Nat yells from the kitchen.

"Don't worry! Naomi already probably did enough for all of us!" Finn calls out as we all laugh and Nat joins us in our circle.

"Unless...?" Finn leads off as we all stop jumping and they look at me—desperate. I stare at them and nod. "Yes! He made her finish!" Finn confirms as we all start laughing—hugging, and jumping with each other again.

"Okay, let me go get ready—I'll pour the drinks, we meet on the couch in three?" Nat asks as we all nod. We all sprint to our designated areas, I throw my stuff in my room—that looked like it had been ransacked because the girls packed all of my stuff.

I brought my phone with me back to the living room and collapsed on the couch as the girls surrounded me. A glass of peach moscato was thrust in my hand as we all cheered to a new body in the house.

"First of all—I hate to dampen the mood, how are you?" Sloane asks as I give them a small smile. "I'm okay. I get their ashes back within the week. Mimi is with the boys." I respond as they all pout.

"And the house? Do you need help finding a realtor?" Nat asks as I chuckle. I bite my lip, it wasn't like I couldn't tell them because they were all filthy fucking rich, not as much as Matti and Blake, but they could go on trips to multiple countries multiple times throughout the year.

"So actually, about that. Matti signed on the house for me." I state under my breath as I watch their eyes widened in shock. It's silent for a moment before chaos broke out.

"You get one penis in you and suddenly you're open to help! What the fuck! We've been trying for two years!" Sloane exclaims before taking a swig from the bottle. I let out a chuckle as I shrug.

"It's going to be our vacation house one day." I state as they nod. "Are you guys dating?" Finn asks as I bite my lip.

"Funny story—" I pulled my necklace out from underneath the neck of my shirt. Sloane gasped as she moved closer to look at the tiny butterfly. "He gave me this as a birthday present and it had a paper attached to it, asking me to be his girlfriend." I state as they all look at me in awe.

"And then he also got me a fucking star." I state as Finn's wine almost shoots out of her mouth. "A star!" Nat squeals.

"Yes. A fucking star. That way I'm near my mom!" I clap my hands as Sloane does a happy dance.

"And then I called you guys because in that moment- it just felt right. He felt right and it was perfect, painful but perfect. So, I lost my virginity, had my first actual date, and had my first boyfriend." I state as Nat starts giggling before she launches herself at me.

And then suddenly the glasses are on the floor and it's a dogpile, and I'm on the bottom.

"Only fifty percent of us are single now!" Finn says as we all giggle. "But this is what we wanted though right? Now we all just can't get pregnant until all of us are 100% in relationships." Nat recalls as we all groan.

Sloane winked at me as I smiled at her.

Although I loved these girls, Sloane was my twin. I loved her like no other and we fought like siblings.

"How were Matti's parent's?" Finn asked as I chuckled. "Intimidating." I admit as they nod.

"And you met the VP?" I nod at Sloane's question as she groans. "I fucking hate that douchebag. I'd rather the other old fuck win at this point. My dad's going to have their rights taken away." She complains as I frown.

We hadn't really talked much politics before but now we had to—because Sloane's life was really about to become affected by Blake's dad and his partner.

And... my God Father?

"I mean think about this—we can't be upset at Blake." Nat tries to reason as Sloane makes a gagging noise and gets off of the dogpile.

"Yes we can." Sloane states while reaching for the bottle. I raise my eyebrows for her to continue. "He's a republican. He's categorized with them." She crosses her arms over her chest.

I groaned, this is why we don't talk politics with each other.

"I mean think about it—with the policies that Rob Day talks about, he want's LGBTQ couples to not be able to adopt? I wouldn't be here right now if this guy were in office a few years ago!" She points out as I nod.

She had a point.

"Blake isn't like that though." I defend him as Sloane looks at me and chuckles. I shrug, he wasn't though. He wasn't discriminatory towards them.

He was just following his dad's lead. I understood what he was doing— and deep down I knew that Blake felt differently than his father, he was just keeping his mouth shut for now.

But then again—he was heavily pro life.

I sigh. "Let's not make this about the future—let's talk about the present! Who's ready for my wedding?" Nat cheers as we all laugh. I felt bad, with all the bad going on in my life—we hadn't had a chance to celebrate yet.

"First of all—you guys knew!" She yelled as Sloane and Finn laughed. "I had no idea actually." I state as she chuckles. "How am I going to choose my maid of honor?" She complains as Finn steps forward.

"I will literally be your coffee runner for a year if I get to be the maid of honor." Finn promises as we all giggle.

"Wait—wait. Someone needs to fess, I covered. Who's Plan B was that?" Natalie asked as we all got quiet.

"It definitely wasn't Naomi's..." She leads off taking a sip of her moscato.

Finn shakes her head, "Wasn't mine either." Finn admitted as all eyes turned to Sloane—who was hammering down the practically empty bottle.

"Who did you fuck?" I nudged her as she winked at me.

She'll tell me later.

"It was mine. You wouldn't know him—it was a quickie. He doesn't believe in Plan B so I had to get it myself, that's why it was in the bathroom." She reasoned as Nat slowly smirked at her.

Finn stuck her glass up in the air, "To everyone getting some except me." We all thrusted our drinks in the air and threw them back after finishing them.

I missed my girls.

"So—are we all going to the parties?" I ask as they all raise their eyebrows. Yes, I just asked that. I can't believe it either. "Do you want to go?" Sloane asks as I nod.

"Yeah—it will be fun. Plus, we have a wife in the group now—we want to drain her out before she becomes a homebody that falls asleep at 8:00 on the couch watching The Real Housewives." I joke as they all giggle.

I loved my friends. There was no better feeling than being with them. I still was holding a grudge against Natalie in some way, and I honestly couldn't shake it.

This was a huge secret that my dad was coming into town—she knew about it, and how it would affect me, and she still did nothing about it.

I understand that she couldn't repeat what Griffin had told her but it was still a pretty shitty friend move.

"Okay—I need to decompress, I'll be in my room." I state as we all agree, as much as we missed each other, I missed my bed. I missed Mimi too.

God, Reese screamed when he saw her this morning. I mean screamed.

It was like a nun watching a porno.

All of the boys were on board with Mimi, luckily. Matti promised that they would be and if not—he would beat the shit out of them until they were all in compliance.

I walk into my room and lay like a starfish on my bed.

I take a deep breath.

Loads of things have changed since I was last here. I hated changing rooms, I hated moving, I hated it all. I really did miss my grandparents more than anything in the world—well besides mom.

With mom I could look at the moon, but I can't just look at anything and think of Merl and Liz.

Peace and quiet—I finally had peace and quiet.

I needed time to cope and process the things I couldn't control at the moment. As much as I loved Matti, the most important thing to me at this moment was getting into my nursing program.

I felt so unaccomplished next to Matti—I mean he's Mattison Williams. I won't ever admit that to him though, both of his heads would swell.

I was beyond proud of myself though. I was holding it together so well and I couldn't tell if it was from my support system or I was already preparing myself for the worst news ever since that's all I'm used to.

But I knew the grief would hit me—I just didn't know when.

It could be when I forget what their laughs sounded like. Or when I realize I'll never see them again. But I was in a state of denial; I felt it.

When I go back to the house next time—it's really going to hurt. I'm not going to see them.

When the littlest things start to remind me of them.

I wasn't ready for it.

But even though it hurt to know that they both passed—I would forever be in the comfort of knowing that they went together, and they wouldn't have to miss one another.

I cleared my throat. I was going to fucking bawl my eyes out if I didn't pull my shit together.

The worst pain of all was knowing that their fairytale ended too early.

The other problem was my dad. How fucking shitty- that I had to crack into my savings to pay for my grandparents funeral. How fucking shitty that he didn't even show up to the hospital or to the house to approach me about his parent's deaths.

I really still hated all men, except Mattison—sometimes.

If you would've asked me months ago, I would've hated all men including Mattison—all the time.

I had grown so comfortable around Matti that my opinions and emotions had changed because of him, and I think that his emotions and opinions had changed too.

"Can we talk?" Sloane whispers through my cracked door. I sat up a bit from my bed and patted next to me as she smiled and shut the door behind her. "What's wrong? Why are you being so quiet?" I teased as she sighed and laid down next to me, staring at the ceiling.

She reached over and found my right hand, squeezing it. I sat up and looked at her—she was scaring me.

"I was really drunk the night we went to McCutchins. And then we went to the captain's house after," She spoke as I nodded, I remembered.

"But like you know how I am. I'm a lightweight- when I have one I lose it." She admits as I chuckle, that's the truth.

She takes in a huge breath, "Reese was extremely drunk that night. Drunk enough to blurt out that Caden was fucking another girl." She winced as she admitted it. My eyes grew in size, what?

"Oh my god—Why didn't you tell me?" I asked to reach to hug her but she held her hand up.

"I slept with Blake." She whispered as my eyes bugged out of my head. I was not expecting that from her— I mean I had a feeling, but Sloane has standards. "What when?" I asked as she winced.

"You already had so much going on—I ended things with Caden and then rebounded with Blake, and then Caden wanted to get back together—" She cut herself off, she was getting worked up.

"I hooked up with Blake that same night and he was drunk too." She nodded in confirmation to herself.

Wait.

"So that Plan B..." I led off as she scrunched up her face and gruesomely nodded. I gasped, "You took a Plan B for Blake's babies and not Caden's?" I ask as she nods.

"That's why he geeked out?" I asked as she chuckled. "Yeah—exactly why he geeked. He doesn't believe in stuff like that. So when you guys left this place during the storm—he pulled me into my room and literally lectured me about how I couldn't tell anyone." She starts to cry as I make a face.

What the fuck is wrong with these Happy Valley men?

"Neither of us could remember if he used a condom or if he pulled out but I wasn't going to wait to find out." She whimpered out as I frowned.

There was definitely something else wrong with her.

"So are you...?" I led off as her eyes widened. "No. I got mine this week. Did you?" She asked since we're

synced up. I nodded, "Yeah—my cramping is starting dude. I took 800 Milligram Ibuprofen this morning and now I'm waiting for the gush." I confessed as she snorted.

"Are you sure there is nothing else you want to talk about?" I ask as she groans and rubs her face— aggressively. And Sloane Beck never did that—it would create wrinkles.

"I'm starting to relapse, and I hate myself." She admits as I sit up straight. "Relapse as in..." I lead off as she nods.

"I haven't been able to keep anything down unless I'm about to pass out." She winces as she admits it to me.

I sigh and reach for her to give me a hug and this time she accepts and doesn't push me away.

Sloane Beck was known for her body—I mean no shit, have you seen her?

Sloane was the daughter of a fashion designer that knew how to make the most perfect and sleek looking outfits. Sloane had it all, minus a fashion designer father that didn't critique her weight.

In the pictures Sloane had shown me—she was never "big". She was literally shaped like a fucking goddess. A
