Un-Break my Heart: Book 2 (The Heart Trilogy) by Audrina Lane Page A

comments or messages that joined their lives together across the miles that separated them. Opening her phone she sent a quick text to Julia, as she had hardly spoken to her for the whole week, which was a long time even for their friendship.
    “Hi Julia, can you meet today or tomorrow for a catch up”
    Immediately the reply came through
    “Hi Stranger, yes are you home as I’ll come over now” Julia replied.
    “Yes I’m home alone until Mum gets back at three” Charlie replied and then quickly hurried to tidy up her room.
     
    With my show nearly over I lined up the last couple of songs and sat back to look at my phone.
    “Loved the song, I will try and wrack my brains for one tomorrow and text it to you later” James said.
    “Do you want to call in for a coffee on your way home, I’m dying to hear about the weekend and Chris is out playing golf” Sarah had sent. Replying to both I then sent a message to Charlie.
    “Slight change of plans calling in to see Sarah be home in time for tea I will pick up some pizzas” I typed.
    “Ok Mum, Julia is over so bring home enough for all of us, see you later”
    We were both turning to our best friends in the absence of our loved ones to analyse our feelings, it felt ever so slightly strange.
     
    Pulling up at Sarah’s house later I turned my phone to silent. James already knew where I was going to be for the next few hours and he was starting his night shift so there would be no chance for us to have a long conversation until after nine in the evening. Then we had all night so I knew that I wouldn’t be lonely until sleep claimed me later.
    “Hi Steph” Sarah said, hugging me on the doorstep before we headed in.
    “Hey Sarah, are you ok” I asked. She seemed pale and worried just like the last time I had seen her. She must have realised that I was looking too closely as she quickly smiled and turned away to grab some wine and glasses from the kitchen. When she was back with me in the lounge she looked happier and more relaxed as we sank into her sofa together.
     
    Kicking my shoes off I curled my legs beneath me and turned to my best friend, positive that everything I was going to tell her was already written on my beaming face.
    “It went well then” Sarah said, reaching to squeeze my hand.
    “Sure did, it was amazing, fabulous and wonderful all rolled into one feeling” I replied, too excited to even take a sip of the wine.
    “Go on tell me” she said, feeling the happiness floating in the air around me.
    “I was so nervous but then we just kind of slotted back into how it felt when we were together the first time. The advantage is that I’m more confidant with the way I look now so sex was sublime, he loved the lack of hair too” I replied, blushing as I thought of all the sexy things we had done over the weekend.
     
    “So what’s the next step for the two of you then?”
    “Well, we’ve talked about how we could move towards being together without the miles. I guess it’s probably going to end up being me moving as finding a job on radio is potentially a lot easier than James being a fireman in this neck of the woods”
    “What about Charlotte and Mitchell”
    “That could be the difficult part, obviously they are madly in love with each other at the moment and I’m sure if I told Charlie we were moving tomorrow she’d be all for it” I said. My mind started to show me all the possible scenarios of things going wrong and how they would cope if we all shared the same house.
    “I think we need to take things slowly at the moment as there are a lot of things to consider” I said, sighing and taking a sip of wine.
    “If only it was just me” I said, aloud instead of thinking it. I wished I hadn’t said it as I watched my friend break down in front of me.
     
    Pulling Sarah into my arms I held her close as she sobbed onto my shoulder. I let her cry it all out until she pulled away and reached for a tissue.
    “Sorry for saying what I did,
