miss your birthday did you?” she laughs as she releases me and Matt immediately pulls me into a hug.
    “I love you guys,” I sigh as I pull out two more chairs for them at our table. “You know everyone right?” I ask before pouring them both a drink to which they nod and greet everyone.
    “What have we missed?” Sophie asks settling into the group like she’s known them all years.
    “I have a few questions about some of your answers” Lucy grins at me.
    “Oh no” I groan.
    “Let’s see. The tats for one” She says still grinning at me.
    “I was wondering about them, considering what you were wearing the other night there isn’t too many places other two can be” Derek points out.
    “Tats? As in plural? I thought you only had one” Sophie asks intrigued.
    “I have three” I stand and turn pulling my hair away from the back of my neck where there is a simple script reading Sine Virtus, Sine Laus across the back of my neck.
    “What does it mean?” Mel asks staring at the tattoo.
    “It’s Latin it means no courage, no glory ” I reply sitting back down.
    “The other one?” Jamie asks raising an eyebrow.
    “I’m not going to be showing any of you my other one”
    “The two people at the table you have kissed?” Jess asks.
    “Andrew and Tucker” I reply when everyone looks between me and the two men.
    “The person or people in the club that you have had sex with?” Lucy asks
    “I’m not answering that” I reply
    “Okay anyone at the table?” She asks looking at Andrew and Tucker who are both watching each other.
    “Enough questions, you had more than you’re twenty three” I plead not answering the question.
    Everyone at the table heads over to the dance floor leaving me with Sophie and Matt.
    “So Tuckers here” Sophie notes.
    “Yeap and you didn’t tell me” I turn my most accusing look on her.
    “You seem to be getting on fine” she shrugs
    “It would have been nice to be prepared. You know the first time we bumped into each other, I was wearing a pair of shorts and a bikini top while dancing on the bar” I stress
    “Sorry, I didn’t want you to freak out,” she apologizes once her laughter is under control. “How is it between you two?” she asks seriously now.
    I shrug “Fine I guess”
    She sighs “Brooke, it can’t be fine, the last time you two spoke … he hurt you ... you told him you loved him …  you were both so angry” she struggles to fit a sentence together.
    “We haven’t mentioned that” I explain
    “What? How can you have not talked about it?” She demands slapping her hand on the table causing everyone to look at us even the band. I turn to her.
    “We just haven’t, that’s part of my past and in case you haven’t noticed I left all that crap behind me when I left. I don’t want to talk about it. I’m a different person now and I hope he is too”
    “Bull, have you been with anyone since him?” She demands
    “I’ve had boyfriends” I defend feebly
    “Have you slept with any of them?” she pushes
    “Only one since him” I shrug “I haven’t met anyone that you know…” I trail off unable to explain it.
    “I know Brooke but two years? I know you’re a different person now and I’m so happy for you but you either have to talk to him or get over him”
    “I am over him; I have been for a long time”
    “Okay fine, so you’ve noticed how him and Mel keep staring at each other and flirting with each other. They are probably going to have sex tonight, how does that make you feel?”
    “Sick” I admit looking down at the table.
    “See, you still have feelings for him” she insists softly.
    “And we all know how well that worked out the last time. In fact, if my memory is right, half the university saw how well that worked out last time” I snap.
    “That was two years ago, feelings that last this long when you haven’t even spoken to or seen him and after what he did are strong Brooke”
    “I can’t trust him again
