Chapter 2 FINALLY here. Sorry about the delay. I suck, and life is crazy :P
Anyway, in this chapter there's the ball, and I picked dresses for everyone, so if आप don't like them, I apologize. I just picked some dresses from tv-shows that I like and described them.
And again, I'd like to remind you, if आप don't like something that your character does, do not think of it as a personal insult. I'm writing, about the characters. Even though they are us, they're not as much as.. आप guys are. Because I need to write a lot of drama XD

So, yes, chapter 2! Any reviews are welcome ;)

Chapter 2 ; This time it's sink या swim

It was around one in the afternoon when Laura got out of her bedroom, finally thinking it would be सुरक्षित to go out without running into anybody. She'd been childish with Rachel the night before, but she'd just driven her so crazy with all the Milo hate. Milo was perfect. And if Rachel didn't understand that, she didn't even deserve him.
Laura felt bad right after even thinking so, so she did what she always did when she was feeling anxious. She listened to music. A lot of music.
She laid on her बिस्तर and closed her eyes and kept hoping she could kind of just forget the world. But then..
A knock on the door.
"If that's Rachel's Prince Charming bringing her और donuts, I swear..", Laura muttered as she walked to the door, but as she opened it, she raised her eyebrows.
"Milo?"
"Good, you're home", Milo कहा as he entered and Laura closed the door after him.
"What are आप doing here?" she asked in confusion.
"Is this break-up between me and Rachel real this time?" he asked.
"Milo-"
"You always know. She always tells you. Just tell me, so I can start living my life", Milo कहा quickly.
Laura sighed and nodded. "Yes, it's real. She's moving on."
"Oh, thank God!" Milo let out a breath, and then smiled. "Why do आप look so sad?"
"I just don't realize how a break-up can be a good thing", Laura said, bewildered.
"You saw how Rachel and I were. I didn't realize it before, but everything she कहा last night made total sense. We sucked together. I was crappy towards her, she was dismissive towards me. We just didn't work. And besides, sometimes when I was with her, I was thinking about-"
Laura looked up at him and her दिल started beating faster. "About what?"
"Nothing, it doesn't matter", he कहा impatiently. "I just wanted to come and ask that, and also ask if things are going to stay the same with us."
Laura looked at him in surprise. "How.. How do आप mean?"
"I mean, can we keep seeing each other, be friends?"
"Yes, of course!" Laura hurried to say.
"Ok, great. आप are awesome", Milo gave her a light किस on the forehead before heading back towards the door. "I have to go, I have a date-"
"If I tell आप something", Laura interrupted, and Milo turned back towards her. "That might sound completely crazy या skanky या whatever, will आप judge me?"
"What?" Milo asked in confusion. "What's going on? Did आप do something dirty?"
"No, I.. Will you, for once, just listen to me?" Laura asked patiently, and after a moment of consideration Milo nodded and closed the front door. "I'm all ears."
"All these years, ever since we met, ever since आप started dating Rachel, through all of your break-ups and getting-back-togethers, I've had feelings for you. And I've always considered myself to be a horrible friend. I had no right, right? But now that I know for sure that Rachel doesn't प्यार आप anymore, I can tell you. I can tell आप that I प्यार you. How I have loved आप always, and there's a fair chance I always will. I hate myself for taking like this, but hey, a girl's gotta try. And I'm sure this'll be the first and last chance for me to ever say this, so here it is. I प्यार you."
All the while during the speech Milo had just stood there, staring at the woman he'd always considered to be her friend, maybe even her best friend, and then, when she was finished, he had no idea what to say.
"Oh, God!" Laura gasped. "I'm horrible, I'm a horrible friend and you're judging me and you're hating me right now."
"Just shut up", Milo कहा and Laura looked up at him, yet again, in surprise.
"What?"
"Shut up", Milo repeated and walked to her, चुंबन her and wrapping his arms around her.
Yes, Laura felt guilty. But she was sure that Rachel was over Milo, and Milo was definitely over Rachel, so what was wrong with the kiss? Nothing. And what happened afterwards.. Well, not as innocent, but just as right for her and him.

Rachel sat अगला to Christian at the hospital cafeteria and gave him the brightest smile she could.
"Hi", he smiled. "Is today better?"
"Than yesterday? Yes, it is. Partly because of the donuts", Rachel said. "I'm feeling.. I know it's really weird of me to say this, but I'm feeling happy. I didn't even remember what that feeling felt like."
Christian just smiled.
"So, I.."
Rachel didn't know what she was trying to say, and whatever she had on her mind, she pushed it all away at once. "I was wondering if आप had a surgery I could scrub in on."
"That would be favoritism", he pointed out.
"But you're the new guy. आप can't have प्रिय yet, so how could anyone ever doubt you?" Rachel smirked.
"I have a feeling you're using me to get surgeries."
"So what if I am? I am sure आप have a gorgeous girlfriend या a fiancée to get back to at the end of the day. आप don't need annoying dishrags like me."
"Did आप call yourself a dishrag?" Christian asked in disbelief.
"Yes. Everyone I know says I have insecurity issues. I have no idea what they're talking about", she bit her lip, finding it annoying that he changed the subject. "You didn't answer my question."
"No, I don't have a girlfriend, या a fiancée या a wife, for that matter", he said. "And before आप ask, I'm not gay, either."
"Sorry, I'm being pushy."
"No, it's fine", Christian assured her. "But.. I'm still not trying to get in your pants. I don't want आप to think that."
"Ok, does that mean आप don't want to get in my pants, या just that you're not trying to?"
He let out a laugh and got up. "Well, hey, who'd want an old dishrag like you, right?"
"Mean", Rachel said, but she was smirking as he gave her one last, kind smile before walking off.

"Hey", Bryan hopped in Holly's car as she was ready to leave the kindergarten to go home.
"What are आप doing?" होल्ली, होली asked. It was painful for her to talk. या to drive. या to think. Stupid hangover.
"I'm coming over tonight, remember?" Bryan chuckled. "I might as well come right now."
होल्ली, होली let out a grunt and started the car.
"Enjoying the hangover?"
"Big time", होल्ली, होली sighed. "I have tequila. Hate it, hate it."
"Did the new roommates encourage आप to drink?" Bryan asked.
"No, it was...", she paused. For some reason she didn't feel like mentioning Josh to Bryan. "It was nothing. I hung out at the bar where one of my roommates, Margot, works, and the.. टकीला was on sale. And I was thirsty."
"Right", Bryan chuckled. "Here", he handed her a paperbag from his own bag and होल्ली, होली let out a gasp as she saw a भालू claw (don't get excited, I mean the pastry) in the bag. "You shouldn't have!"
I know. I figured your फ्रेंड्स could share it, but I think आप need it right now", Bryan smiled at her, and she smiled back.
"What would I do without you?" she asked as she took a bite of the pastry.
"Let's hope you'll never have to find out!"

यवसुरा, एल was just finishing her दिन off at the model agency when suddenly her phone rang.
"Oh, nice try", she muttered as she answered the phone, but couldn't help but to feel a bit excited when she heard Ed's voice.
"Hey, I'm sorry I didn't call आप last night", he said.
"I hope आप have one hell of an excuse."
"Well, my sister's kids needed babysitting, and I didn't want आप to think I was ditching आप for a bunch of kids", Ed sounded apologetic.
"Which आप were", यवसुरा, एल said, but she started to warm up at the image of Ed taking care of little kids. "Uh.. Do आप want to make it up to me?"
"Yes, in fact", Ed कहा as यवसुरा, एल entered the streets of New York, exiting the agency. "Turn around."
यवसुरा, एल turned around in amazement and saw Ed standing there, holding a bagel and a स्टारबक्स coffee in his hands.
"Hi", यवसुरा, एल smirked as she walked to him.
"Hi. So, am I forgiven?"
"You can't win my दिल with food", यवसुरा, एल said, but took the bagel and the coffee anyway.
"I know. That's why I'm taking आप somewhere", he smiled. Ed gestured at the limo parked on the सड़क, स्ट्रीट right अगला to them, and Ale's eyebrows rose.
"That is not yours."
"Yes, it is. Get in", Ed chuckled.
"What if you're a stalker?"
"Ok, I'll go alone", he said, but यवसुरा, एल was quicker. She jumped in the car, and Ed smiled as he followed her.

"So this is your place", Laura woke up to a loud male voice coming from the hallway, and when she heard Holly's reply, she gasped.
"Oh, no, no, no!" she realized what'd happened, and slapped Milo awake.
"I slept with my best friend's ex-boyfriend. Oh, God. And now Holly's here, and she's going to tell Rachel-"
"What's going on?" Milo asked, still half asleep.
"The आग escape!"
"What?" Milo asked, alarmed.
"Go down the आग escape. No one can see you. Seriously. Get dressed and go! Now!" Laura hissed and started to get dressed herself.
"Hey, wait", as Laura was about to leave the room, fully clothed, she turned to Milo, who was halfway out of the window, but looking at her. Then he asked, with a bit of insecurity (for the first time ever, I might add) in his voice: "What does this mean for us?"
"Just go", Laura whispered, and walked out of the room before Milo could say anything else.
"The walk of shame", Bryan कहा as soon as he saw Laura enter the kitchen. "You didn't tell me your फ्रेंड्स were like this!"
होल्ली, होली eyed Laura, and then smirked: "What have आप done?"
"Nothing", Laura कहा quickly. "Nothing, absolutely nothing. So you're Bryan, then?"
"Yes", Bryan कहा in amusement as they shook hands.
"I'm Laura."
"Awesome. I'm going to go check this place out. Excuse me", Bryan walked out of the kitchen, and होल्ली, होली asked: "What did आप do?"
"Nothing", Laura repeated. "Stop smiling", she groaned as she buried her head in her hands.
"Ok, ok", होल्ली, होली laughed. "But आप better take a शावर, शॉवर before the others get here, unless आप want them to detect your walk of shame as well."
Laura didn't have to be told twice, and होल्ली, होली chuckled as she stood in the kitchen. "Some roommates."

"Hey, I am home. I went to-", Margot paused as she entered the apartment about an घंटा later and found Laura, होल्ली, होली and Bryan sitting द्वारा the रसोई, रसोईघर table, laughing about something.
"Ooh, Bryan! This one's Margot, the bartender", होल्ली, होली कहा enthusiastically as she pulled Margot towards the table.
"Hi", he smiled. "I'm Holly's annoying friend."
"Nice to meet you, annoying friend", Margot कहा in amusement. "So, just the four of us?"
"For now. Rachel's supposed to get off work early today, but she's a big shot doctor, so.. Moosh and यवसुरा, एल both scored a date, so they're out", होल्ली, होली said.
"What? They're ditching our company to go on dreamy dates? Shame on them", Bryan joked.
They didn't have to wait long for Rachel. When she closed the door after her, she had such a smile on her face it was hard to recognize her.
"What the hell did आप do today? Ate magic mushrooms?" होल्ली, होली chuckled as she walked to them.
"This the surgeon?" Bryan asked in amusement, extending his hand.
"Yeah, Rachel. आप must be Bryan", Rachel कहा as she shook his hand.
"Well?" Margot asked, and Rachel raised her eyebrows. "What?"
"What happened?"
"Nothing", she said, and eyed Laura, who refused to look at her. "Laura, can I talk to आप for a minute?"
"Uh, sure", she कहा और than awkwardly as she followed Rachel into her room.
"How was your day?" Laura tried to avoid getting into the subject.
"It was perfect. Now, would आप like to tell me why आप acted like a raging कुतिया, मतलबी last night?"
Laura didn't have time to say anything before Rachel continued.
"I mean, I am always a raging bitch, so, yeah, I was a bitch, too, but you're never like that. So what's up? Are आप really that upset about me insulting my ex-boyfriend?"
"He's my.. best guy friend", Laura muttered. "I don't like people picking on him."
Rachel pondered this for a moment, and then said. "Then I'm sorry."
"You're not one to go down easy", Laura कहा suspicously. "Have आप been eating mushrooms?"
"No. I got to scrub in on a really good surgery today."
"Uh-huh. His surgery?"
"Shut up", Rachel couldn't help but to smile as she pulled Laura in for a hug.
"Are we good now?" Laura asked as they pulled apart.
"We're great. Let's go hang out with Holly's friend now", Rachel कहा and they walked out, back into the kitchen.

"So, what's for dinner?" Laura asked as they rejoined the group. होल्ली, होली eyed her suspiciously, but figured it wasn't her place to say anything. That was all she had, anyway. Suspicions.
"We are going to order in."
"We always order in", Margot groaned. "I changed my shifts to have tonight free. So we better order something good, then."
"Chinese."
"French."
"Ew, no way, French खाना means like.. snails."
Apparently they couldn't come to an agreement.
"Canadian", Bryan said, and everyone paused.
"What the hell is Canadian food, anyway?" Laura snorted.
"I don't know.. snowflakes? I don't know. खाना is food. Let's order something."
"Mexican food", Rachel said. "And I am already calling so no one can argue with me", she shouted as she picked up the phone and went to check the take-out menus for a number.
"I guess we're eating mexican", होल्ली, होली said.
"So, होल्ली, होली tells us you're a teacher, too", Margot said.
"I am", Bryan कहा and smirked. "Though, I may get off the tracks sometimes with what I'm supposed to teach."
"Yeah, his lessons mostly consist of superheroes and video games."
"I like Batman", Rachel कहा as she came from the other room.
"I do, too!" Bryan कहा with satisfaction.
"No superhero talk. No way. We are going to go watch tv and nicely wait for the food", होल्ली, होली said.

"Ok, so.. you're rich", यवसुरा, एल कहा to Ed in the car.
"Define rich."
"Richer than me", यवसुरा, एल snorted, and Ed nodded.
"Yeah, I'm probably richer than you."
"What, आप got a huge trust fund या something?"
"Aren't आप a nosy one?" Ed smiled.
"We're on a date. We're supposed to be getting to know each other. या are आप really trying to kidnap me? 'Cause if आप are, I swear, everyone I know will come after आप and find आप like Liam Neeson found those guys in Taken."
Ed smirked. "Ok, I've been warned."
"Seriously, though, where are we going?" यवसुरा, एल couldn't help but to ask, but before Ed had time to answer, Ale's phone beeped.
She took it from her bag and paused as she noticed Keegan's number.
"Do आप need to answer that?" Ed asked, and with a moment of hesitation यवसुरा, एल shook her head and put the phone back into her bag.
"No, nothing important."

होल्ली, होली watched, as she ate, when Bryan kept getting along with the other girls. He laughed, and they laughed, and they joked and he joked. And for some reason होल्ली, होली had this weird feeling in the pit of her stomach. But she couldn't be jealous. That'd just be crazy. Right?
"Hey, आप ok?" she was ripped from her thoughts when Bryan looked at her. They were all sitting in the livingroom area, watching tv and eating.
"Oh, yeah. I'm fine."
"Hey, look what's on TV", Margot smirked at Rachel, who turned to the screen.
"Grey's Anatomy. Reruns", Rachel chuckled.
"Oh, right! How's your McDreamy?" होल्ली, होली asked.
"If he's McDreamy, does that mean I'm Meredith Grey? If yes, I'm very flattered. But I think I'm going to बिस्तर now", Rachel कहा and got up before anyone could ask anything else.
"Did we scare her away?" Bryan yawned.
"We certainly did. But hey, we've all got something to hide. Right, Laura?" होल्ली, होली turned to Laura, who immediately turned red. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Rachel got in her room and after a moment of consideration, and one quick glance at the clock, she took out her cell and dialed the hospital number. A nurse she knew answered.
"Hey, Rebecca. Is doctor Christian Bale (Oh, my God, how stupid I felt while लेखन that..) still around?"
"Yeah, he's with a patient, but- oh, hold on, I see him", Rachel closed her eyes as she waited, and opened them when she heard his voice.
"You're calling me."
"No, I'm calling the hospital", Rachel कहा quickly. "I could have been calling anyone."
"That's funny, because I'm pretty sure Rebecca कहा आप asked for me", Rachel knew he was smirking even though I couldn't see him.
"You know Rebecca?" she was surprised. Most hotshot doctors didn't bother to figure out the names of the nurses.
"Sure I do", he said, and Rachel considered the possibility that maybe he had a thing for her. Rebecca. She was pretty. Maybe that's why he knew her name.
"So, आप ok..?"
"Yeah, I'm fine", Rachel कहा hurriedly. "This was stupid."
"No, it's fine", Christian rushed to say. "How are you?"
Rachel smiled to herself before sitting on the bed. "I'm good. How are you?"

Moosh was standing outside her office, waiting for Zayn. He was 20 मिनटों late, and Moosh was considering leaving. Maybe he blew her off. Just when she was about to get going, she heard a: "Hey!" from behind her, and as she turned to look at the other end of the hall, she saw him and smiled.
"You're late", she said, and immediately regretted doing so. Anything could trigger.. well.. any kind of reactions from him. His parents sent him to therapy for a reason.
"Sorry, I was stuck in traffic", Zayn कहा hurriedly. "You ready to go?"
"Yeah", Moosh smiled. They walked downstairs, and once they got out of the building, Moosh paused. She saw a motorcycle in front of her, parked अगला to the sidewalk.
"What?" Zayn smirked.
"You want me to get on that?" Moosh asked suspiciously. "You even know how to ride it?"
"Of course I do", Zayn snorted. "Get on."
"Can I at least get a helmet?" Moosh asked. She was not at all sure about this. She'd never liked मोटरसाइकल much, anyway.
"Yes, आप can get a helmet", Zayn smiled and handed Moosh one. It was green.
"I like the color green", she muttered as she put it on and hopped on, behind Zayn.
"You look nice, द्वारा the way", she heard Zayn say, but didn't have time to do anything but लपेटें her arms around his upper body before they were on the road.

"Why are we here?" यवसुरा, एल asked in confusion as Ed got out of the car. He led her to a restaurant around the dock. The water looked pretty, gleaming in the lights reflecting on the water when it was otherwise pitch dark.
"What, आप don't like this place?" Ed chuckled.
"Not the place. It's that आप never get a reservation here", यवसुरा, एल said. It was one of those fancy-pants restaurants where आप never got into.
"Oh, yeah?" Ed smiled before opening the door for Ale, and when they got inside, Ale's eyes widened.
The restaurant looked as impressive as यवसुरा, एल had imagined, but there was nowhere in sight. No one but the waitress who walked over to them, smiling kindly. "Right this way." यवसुरा, एल couldn't help but to look around in awe as the girl led them to their तालिका, टेबल द्वारा the window.
"So.. What are you, really? A billionaire?" यवसुरा, एल asked as they sat down and the waitress left them alone with the menus.
Ed smiled. "One should never reveal their secrets on a first date."
"They should if their very demanding तारीख, दिनांक is asking", यवसुरा, एल scoffed, but couldn't help but to smile anyway. No matter what would happen, that night would surely at least be the most impressive तारीख, दिनांक she'd ever been on.

"So, your फ्रेंड्स are nice", Bryan कहा casually as at the end of the night he and होल्ली, होली were walking down the सड़क, स्ट्रीट to the nearest खरीडिए to buy ice cream.
होल्ली, होली forced herself to nod. Was the jealousy there again?
"Don't be jealous", she heard Bryan say and turned to him quickly.
"What?"
"I won't stop hanging out with you, bringing आप breakfast. Your फ्रेंड्स are nice, but not that nice. I like you", Bryan smiled, and होल्ली, होली smiled back.
"Yeah?"
"Yes. Now, should we get that ice cream?" Bryan seemed to want to change the subject, and होल्ली, होली nodded, and off they went.

Moosh and Zayn had settled themselves for a quiet night at a pizzeria, and it was going good so far. Moosh was kind of alert, ready for Zayn to want to leave, या to yell, या simply just talk, like he'd promised he'd do. But Moosh was having too much fun just hanging out with him that she forgot the reason she'd agreed to go on a तारीख, दिनांक in the first place.
"So, uh..", Moosh bit her lip as they were waiting for the check.
"Oh, right, I forgot", Zayn कहा and smiled. "I had a nice childhood. Good parents, no siblings around, though. So I guess I was a tad lonely - even though I had friends. Not a lot, but enough. And then I got to high school", he said, and Moosh nodded. High school was tough on a lot of youngsters.
"And when I was in high school (I would like to point out that I have no idea about Zayn Malik's - या some of these other guys - personal life, so this is all me, coming up with stuff for the story. Bare with me please!), I met this girl", Zayn said, and Moosh nodded. "And we started dating. It was nice, until.. Until she died."
"She died?" Moosh asked in surprise. His parents hadn't mentioned anything like that.
"Yeah, in a car crash. She died, and I got depressed."
"Did आप प्यार her?"
"I don't know", Zayn muttered. "I guess I did."
Moosh nodded, and was surprised to see Zayn smirking at her.
"What?"
"This isn't a session, right?" he asked.
"No, but आप did promise to tell me about your life", Moosh pointed out.
"Right. So that's why आप कहा yes to a date?"
"Kind of. I'm not supposed to तारीख, दिनांक patients", Moosh shook her shoulders.
"Maybe this is worth the risk, right, though?" Zayn smiled.
"Yeah, maybe", Moosh laughed.

Moosh and Zayn spent a lovely evening, and Moosh leanred a lot about Zayn - material that she was going to use in their actual sessions, but Zayn didn't seem to mind. He gave her a ride home, but that was it. Moosh really wasn't even the kind of girl who did anything in particular on a first date.
"I'll see आप tomorrow?" Zayn asked.
"Tomorrow already?" Moosh asked in surprise.
"For our session", Zayn chuckled.
"Oh, right-", Moosh blushed, but didn't have time to explain herself before Zayn got back to his motorcycle,and with a last smile at her, drove away.

"So", यवसुरा, एल कहा as she and Ed were on their way to get back to the limo. "I had a nice time."
"Does that mean you're going to call me?" Ed asked.
"You're supposed to call me."
"Wow, someone's old-fashioned", Ed smirked.
"Well, I had a nice time. How about we leave it at that?" यवसुरा, एल forced a smile. She had had a great time with Ed, but she had to admit to herself that every once in a while her thoughts had drifted off to Keegan and his call that she had ignored.
"Can I ask आप something?" Ed asked, crossing his arms.
"Yeah."
"Are आप dating someone?"
"What?" यवसुरा, एल asked. As if Ed had just read her mind.
"No, I just.. I've been involved with a few women who only wanted to तारीख, दिनांक casually, and my last relationship of that nature did not end well, so if casual's all you're in for, I don't think we should see each other again."
यवसुरा, एल eyed Ed in confusion. "You're forward."
"Hey, I don't want to mess with someone who knows people who can find me like Liam Neeson found those guys in Taken."
यवसुरा, एल couldn't help but to smile. "I'm not in it for the fun. I'm not sure if I'm even in this, but I'm not looking for casual, either. I've had that, too."
"So, are आप dating someone?" Ed asked again. "As smooth as that answer was, I didn't forget my question."
यवसुरा, एल shook her head. "No, I'm not. Are you?"
Ed let out a laugh before pulling यवसुरा, एल in for a kiss.
It was a fast kiss, like a good night kiss, but it still managed to make यवसुरा, एल feel like fainting.
"Wanna head घर now, then?" Ed asked as he pulled away.
यवसुरा, एल wanted to say no, but the rational part in her said: "Yes."
Ed nodded and opened the limo door.

"Hello?" Margot answered the phone at two a.m. She was already asleep. It was her night off, and she was going to do what she loved to do best on a night off: Sleep.
"Hey, Margot, it's Paul", Paul as in the bar manager. Margot groaned as she put the light on the nightstand on. "What's going on?"
"I'm sorry to bother you, I know it's your night off, but Corey is here, and he's.. not in the state to go घर द्वारा himself, and he's refusing to call a cab."
"Corey?" Margot asked in confusion.
"He told me to call you."
"I don't.. Is he drunk?" Margot asked. She was already on her way out of bed, putting her shoes and कोट over her pajama.
"That's a understatement", Paul muttered. "Are आप coming?"
"Yes, I'll be right there", Margot कहा and ended the call. As she got out of the room, she saw यवसुरा, एल and Moosh both in the living room, talking about their dates. Everyone else was asleep.
"I thought आप had a night off", Moosh कहा in confusion.
"I do", Margot said, and without further explanation, lef the apartment.

She got a cab to the bar, and all the way she had to listen to that Rihanna's Diamond song from the radio, so द्वारा the time she was at the bar, she was no longer tired, she was just repeating the lyrics in her head.
"I hate it when songs get stuck in my head", she muttered as she opened the door and froze on the spot. Corey was sitting on the स्टूल, मल that he always sat on, but his head was laying on the counter, and his eyes were half closed.
"Oh, good, you're here. Take him home", Paul कहा immediately.
"Corey", Margot walked to Corey and poked him a little.
"Margot", Corey muttered, but didn't turn to look at her. "You came."
"Are आप drunk?"
"Just a teeny tiny bit."
"I'll take आप home", Margot muttered as she and Paul both carried Corey out of the bar, and into the cab that was waiting for them.
"I'm sorry about this, Paul", Margot कहा before heading into the cab herself.
"It's ok, it's not like he's your responsibility. He just insisted I'd call you, and आप in particular", Paul said, and walked back into the bar.
Margot looked at Corey's passed-out figure in disbelief as she entered the car, and then she realized she didn't know where he lived, so she just gave the cab driver the address to her apartment.

When they got back, Margot called Moosh and यवसुरा, एल to come and help her carry him up, and together the three girls dragged Corey to Margot's room and threw him on the bed.
"This your boyfriend?" यवसुरा, एल asked.
"No", Margot sighed. "I'll take it from here. Thanks."
"Are आप sure?" Moosh asked in concern.
"I'm sure. आप guys go to sleep", Margot nodded and closed the door after the girls had left.
"Oh, boy", she sighed and brushed a strain of hair from Corey's face before she tucked him into her bed.

"Attention, people!" Rachel was shouting - very early in the morning. It was 8 am and she was already on her way out the door. "Tonight's the ball at the hospital, and you're all coming, whether आप want to या not-", she paused as she saw Corey walk out of Margot's room.
"You're not Margot."
"And you're not my landlord."
"No.. Who..", before Rachel had time to finish her sentence, Margot stepped into the apartment. She'd been on a morning jog.
"How come you're awake?" she asked Corey in disbelief.
"What the hell happened last night?" Corey answered with another question.
Rachel groaned, seeing that she was being ignored, and turned to Holly, Laura, Moosh and Ale, who were eating breakfast at the table.
"You're all coming, right?" she asked.
"I don't know", Moosh groaned.
"Why not?" Rachel snapped. "It's a party. आप get to put on fancy clothes, eat relatively good खाना and there's dancing."
"You just want us to come with आप so आप won't have to dance with McDreamy", होल्ली, होली said.
"No, I don't. I want आप to come because I consider आप people my फ्रेंड्स now, and this is what फ्रेंड्स do, damn it!" Rachel yelled, and the others looked at her in confusion.
"Sorry. I.. I get out of work at 7, and the party starts at 8, so be there before, ok? And it's formal clothing, seriously. If आप do not own a dress, rent one या buy one." She had her dress neatly folded in her arms.
"That's yours?" होल्ली, होली asked, and before Rachel had time to say anything, she grabbed it.
"Gosh, so pretty", she smiled. It was mostly black, but it had that princess-y style to it. It was strapless, full-lenght with a bit of sparkles here and there.
"Wow, I didn't know it was a ball at Cinderella's castle", यवसुरा, एल chuckled.
"Ha ha. I saw this in a store and thought it was cute. It was on sale, too, so.."
"Yeah, yeah", Laura smirked. "But yeah, we'll come to the party. Do not worry."
"You need help shopping?" Rachel asked.
"I-", Laura was about to answer when Rachel's pager went off.
"Shit, shit, shit..", Rachel hissed, and with that grabbed the dress from होल्ली, होली and ran out the front door.
"What was that ungodly yelling about?" Margot asked as she entered the रसोई, रसोईघर area.
"We're going to the hospital party tonight. Who needs to खरीडिए for a dress?" Moosh asked, and everyone's hands rose.
"I can't come, though", Margot said.
"What?" होल्ली, होली groaned.
"I have work today, remember?"
"Well, the party starts at eight. Stay for at least an hour, या Rachel's gonna cry. She was very determined to have us all there", होल्ली, होली said.
"Fine, fine. Now I need to take care of.. Corey", she muttered and left the room.
"What was that about, the guy in her room?" Laura asked.
"Apparently not her boyfriend", यवसुरा, एल said. "We had to help her drag him inside last night. He was passed out."
"Huh."

"Hey", Rachel almost ran into Christian as she walked out of the Resident's lounge.
"Oh, hi", she smiled. "There's a party here tonight."
"I know. आप going?" Christian asked.
"Yes, I am, in fact. Are you?" Rachel asked, and wished she actually wasn't interested to know.
"Yes", Christian watched as Rachel started to walk away, her body still turned towards him. "I'll see आप there?"
"I believe so", Rachel smirked and then walked off.

"Not that one", यवसुरा, एल said. The girls were buying dresses. It was lunch time, so everyone had time to spare to go dress shopping. And they all trusted Ale, because she was the one who worked with fashion.
"I'm going to get this", Moosh कहा as she examined herself in the mirror. She was wearing a long, green dress with the strap only on one side.
"It looks good", Laura said. She wasn't such a girly girl, but she wanted to do something nice for Rachel, since she kind of felt guilty about the Milo thing, even though deep down she knew she shouldn't, and Rachel wanted them to come to the party, so..
"This is for you", यवसुरा, एल threw a white, beautiful dress made of delicate material. The straps were glittery silver, but otherwise the dress was indeed completely white.
"Why?" Laura asked.
"It'll look good on you. Jeez. Go try it on", यवसुरा, एल said, and then turned to Holly.
"I've got this covered", होल्ली, होली smirked and showed the dress she was already wearing. It was deep blue with glitters on the waist area, and like Rachel's dress, it hinted princess.
"Okay, fine..", यवसुरा, एल turned to Margot and smirked. "How did it go with your drunk boy?"
"I sent him घर to sleep it off properly", Margot muttered. "Look, I don't need any dress. I won't be at the party long, anyway."
"That's too bad, because I already picked one out for you", यवसुरा, एल कहा and took a quite simple blue dress from one of the hangers. it was beautiful, and the neckline made the dress stand out और (and that does NOT mean it's too exposing). "You like?"
"Fine", Margot tried to smile as she took the dress and went to try it on, but the thing with Corey was still bugging her.
"And what will आप be wearing, then?" Laura asked.
"I have a dress already. I designed it myself. आप shall see at the party", यवसुरा, एल smiled. "Now chop chop. Your hair needs serious work as well."

It was 7 thirty, and Rachel was running late. She had put her dress on, made her hair all pretty, but she couldn't find her shoes, and she was still in the Resident's lounge.
"Rachel", she turned around to see Laura looking at her द्वारा the doorway. "You ok?"
"Yeah, I can't find my shoes", she groaned and looked under the benches, but nothing.
"You look pretty", Laura कहा as she helped her look.
"You do, too. Wow. Seriously. आप getting married या something?" Rachel smirked. "If I don't watch out, you'll end up looking prettier than me in there."
Laura snorted. "Listen, I brought Milo.."
Rachel froze for a moment, but then nodded. "Okay. Like a date?"
"Not like a तारीख, दिनांक date", Laura कहा quickly. "I just needed someone to go with."
"I don't have a date", Rachel sighed as she finally found her black shoes from her bag and put them on.
Laura smiled. "It's not who आप come with, it's who आप leave with, right?"
"That सलाह is barbaric", Rachel smirked. "Do I look good?"
"Yes, आप do. Let's go", Laura chuckled, and they left the lounge.
"Did the others find dates?" Rachel asked.
"Moosh, यवसुरा, एल and होल्ली, होली did. Margot doesn't have one, either."
"That doesn't count, she can only stay for half the party..", she froze as she saw the others standing a few feet away, close to the huge hall, where the party was at. She saw Milo, and he saw her, and the look on his face wasn't encouraging.
"Wow, I guess we're really not gonna be friends."
"You know how Milo is", Laura muttered.
"Yeah, whatever. I should probably go check on a few post-ops before.."
"No, you're not going anywhere", Laura कहा and dragged her to the others. "You guys ready?"
"It's lame going to a party early", यवसुरा, एल said. She wasn't with Ed. She was with Keegan. She'd told him about the party at work, and he'd insisted on coming along. And how could यवसुरा, एल say no?
"Your dress is amazing", Margot कहा as she admired her friend. The dress was red, and it was strapless and long.
"Did आप डिज़ाइन that?" Moosh asked in disbelief.
"Yes, she did. I was there", Keegan smiled, and यवसुरा, एल blushed.
"It's no big deal."
"Uh, can we go in?" Rachel asked.
"Sure", with that the group entered the hall, and Moosh dragged Zayn to the dance floor right away.
"They're cute", Margot कहा as she stood अगला to Rachel. Milo and Laura had gone to get a drink, and होल्ली, होली and Bryan were standing द्वारा them while यवसुरा, एल and Keegan had disappeared as well.
"Yes, they are", Rachel smiled, and couldn't help but to turn to look at Milo and Laura. They were laughing. Rachel was happy Laura was happy, but if there was something going on between them, she'd prefer to know.
"Hi", she turned around as she heard the familiar voice and saw Christian smiling at her. He was hot.
"Hi", Rachel smiled.
"You look beautiful."
"You look really hot", Rachel didn't feel the need to be subtle about it.
"Hey, Bryan, Margot, want to go dance?" होल्ली, होली asked and dragged them both with her.
"Were those your friends?" Christian asked.
"Yes. आप surprised I have some?"
"To be honest, yes. I feel like you're always here."
"You're always here."
"True", Christian nodded and extended his hand. "Do आप want to dance?"
"I don't dance."
"Oh, is that why आप put on that princess dress tonight? To stand in the corner of the room?" Christian chuckled.
"No. I'm standing in the middle."
"Come on:"
Rachel raised her eyebrows. "If आप answer one question."
"Deal."
"Are आप married?"
"Excuse me?" Christian snorted, pulling his hand back.
"It's a question", Rachel crossed her arms. Stupid Grey's Anatomy reruns.
"Yeah, a सवाल आप already asked me", Christian said, and to Rachel's shock he started, for the first time, to seem annoyed.
"Look, I.."
"You clearly have a lot of trust issues. I don't know why, and I don't know why you-"
"It doesn't make sense!"
"What doesn't?" Christian asked in disbelief. "What doesn't make sense?"
"That someone like आप would like someone like me! That doesn't make sense", Rachel muttered, and with that she turned around and disappeared in the crowd.

Margot was in the corner of the room, watching as Bryan and होल्ली, होली danced. She keeped checking her phone to see if Corey had called. But why would he? Just because he'd asked for her, it didn't mean he cared about her.
"What's wrong?" she turned around to see यवसुरा, एल looking at her.
"Why aren't आप with your date?"
"He's getting us a drink", यवसुरा, एल muttered as she sat अगला to her. "To be honest, I feel stupid being here with him."
"Why?"
"Because I went out with this other guy just last night, and I told him I was all in. And now I'm here..."
"Maybe you're here just as friends", Margot suggested.
"I'm not. I have feelings for Keegan."
"Do आप have feelings for Ed?" Margot asked.
"I don't know", यवसुरा, एल admitted. "I like being with him, but I've liked Keegan for so long..."
"Looks like you're in a tricky situation", Margot said.
"How about आप and the drunk guy?"
"He's not the drunk guy", Margot sighed. "I guess... He just has a problem, and I don't know what to do."
"It's not your problem", यवसुरा, एल reminded.
"But he asked for me", Margot said.
"Still not your problem. Unless आप want it to be your problem."
With that यवसुरा, एल got up to find Keegan, leaving Margot to her thoughts.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Laura asked as Rachel reached her and Milo. They were द्वारा the तालिका, टेबल where there was the पंच bowl and some food.
"I was a raging कुतिया, मतलबी again", Rachel sighed and took the cup of पंच from her hand. "And just what are आप looking at?" she snapped at Milo.
"Nothing", Milo snorted.
"Go find him. Apologize", Laura said.
"You think I should?"
"You should."
"I should. I should. Yeah, I'm going to find him..", Rachel muttered, drank the whole cup and then walked off again.
"See? She's moving on already", Milo said. "You have nothing to feel guilty about."
"Look, आप don't want me. आप think आप want me because I was there, and आप were there, and we..", Laura let out a breath.
"Come on", Milo कहा and led Laura out of the ballroom. They walked the halls of the hospital for a moment, until Laura stopped.
"What?" she asked.
"I प्यार you", Milo said, and Laura looked at him, really looked at him. "I never loved Rachel. Not like this. I'm not sure if I even liked her."
"That's horrible", Laura said. "You're a.. Why are आप a jerk to everyone but me?"
"Because I प्यार you", Milo smiled gently before pulling Laura in for a kiss.
Laura couldn't help but to किस him back. Because she loved him, too. And she had every right to. She wrapped her arms around him, but before she had time to think, he'd pulled away.
"I should go", Milo said, a little breathless.
"Wait.."
"I'll see आप tomorrow", Milo promised, gave her one last light किस and then walked off, towards the exit.
"Oh, gosh..", Laura muttered to herself before walking back to the party.

"Is this too much?" Moosh asked as she and Zayn danced.
"No, not at all. I'm honored आप asked me", Zayn smirked. "You look amazing, in case I didn't already mention that."
"You did. Twice", Moosh gave him a gentle smile. "You look great, too."
"Listen, I think I'm going to quit our sessions", Zayn said.
"What?" Moosh asked, stopping in her tracks.
"I..", Zayn looked confused. "I want to see आप properly, away from the office. My parents will understand."
"I thought आप needed therapy", Moosh said, and from the look on Zayn's face she could see she should never have कहा such a thing.
"You think I need therapy?" he asked quietly.
"That's not exactly what I meant-"
"I have to go", Zayn कहा immediately, letting go of Moosh. "I'll see आप on our अगला session, if that's truly what आप want..", and before Moosh had time to protest, he was gone.
"I watch a lot of TV", Rachel कहा as she finally found Christian. He was talking to some nurse that Rachel actually didn't know, but gladly she seemed to get it was a private conversation and walked off as Christian turned to look at Rachel.
"Okay."
"No, seriously. A lot of TV. Grey's Anatomy, in particular. And.. Oh, I'm so paranoid. So when everyone started calling आप McDreamy, I started thinking about what made McDreamy not so McDreamy. And he had a wife, and-", Rachel paused as she saw that Christian was so close to laughing.
"You think I'm an idiot, don't you?"
"No", he कहा quickly. "That's just the first time I've heard that excuse."
"It's not an excuse!"
"I get that आप don't trust people. That's fine. But how am I ever going to prove to आप that I'm worth trusting if आप don't give me a chance?"
Rachel was about to say something, and then sighed, giving up. "Would आप like to dance with me?"
"Yes", Christian smiled and they walked to the dance floor.

"You do look amazing", Keegan pointed out. She and यवसुरा, एल were walking the halls of the hospital, not feeling like dancing anymore.
"Thank you", यवसुरा, एल blushed again, and immediately hated herself for doing so.
"So, I'll see आप tomorrow at work?" Keegan asked, and यवसुरा, एल paused. Was he leaving already?
"I'd stay, but I promised a friend I'd go to a party of hers, and-"
"No, I get it", यवसुरा, एल rushed to say. "I get it."
Keegan paused, and then said: "I do like you, Ale. I'm just not sure I can give आप what you're looking for."
यवसुरा, एल observed him for a moment before nodding. "I understand." She didn't get it. She didn't understand. Why was she saying such things?
"Tomorrow, then", Keegan said, touched Ale's cheek lightly and then left without another word.
"I'm an idiot", यवसुरा, एल whispered before finding a bench to sit on. She didn't feel like going back to the party.

"I hate suits", Bryan groaned as she and होल्ली, होली were द्वारा the foods and drinks in the ballroom, and होल्ली, होली was eating a cookie.
"You look hot."
Bryan paused. "I do?"
"Oh, shut up", होल्ली, होली snorted. "Or I take it back."
"I didn't say a word", Bryan smiled, but kept eyeing Holly, even though her gaze was observing the hall.
"I want to go", she said. "But I can't find the girls."
"I think Laura; Moosh, यवसुरा, एल and Margot left already", Bryan said.
होल्ली, होली raised her eyebrows. "You remember their names?"
"I have a good memory!"
"Uh-huh", होल्ली, होली कहा and then raised her arms way up high as she saw Rachel, who walked to them.
"Hey", she smiled.
"Ready to go?" होल्ली, होली asked. "The others already bailed."
"Yeah, sure, I'll just go say bye to-"
"McDreamy. Yeah, yeah", होल्ली, होली groaned bitterly. "Just know that I hate you."
"I hate you, too", Rachel snorted before disappearing in the crowd once more.
"Well, for what it's worth, it's not true what they say about hospital food", Bryan कहा as he stuffed a slice of पिज़्ज़ा, पिज्जा in his mouth. "It's good."
"Yeah", होल्ली, होली smiled, and looked at her friend. "Yeah, it's great."
