December 31st Dear Diary
It’s New Year’s Eve and I know he’s fucking with her. I hate him. His life has not changed and mine is in tatters. I have been dancing all night with Gran and Mum to Beyonce. Tomorrow, I start a new year and I am not doing another year like this one.
Bridget just called me and tried to get me to go the Ivy but I’m going to bed. It’s 12.30. Bring on the next year.
January 15th Dear Diary
I have been going out, it’s actually ok. I have even had coffee with Jes a few times. It’s been fun. It feels good to laugh again. Jeremy admitted he has been seeing someone from work and he and Bridget broke up. She went on a date with someone else a week later, why can’t I do that? I need to sleep with somebody else.
February 14th
It’s Valentine’s Day. Who invented this shit? I got roses from Jes and got asked on three dates. It’s been six months since I last saw Joshua, but I am still not ready, I’m staying home and eating Ben and Jerry’s instead. Joshua will probably propose to bitch vet today. She can have him.
Six months later, August 19th

Cameron pulls the car into Joshua’s driveway. It’s eight in the morning and we have just trained at the gym after Cam finished a nightshift. It’s a habit we have gotten into, get it out of the way early. “Seriously, my arms are shaking. There is no way he can lift that.” Cameron shakes his head.
“He does. I watched him the other night,” I murmur as I open the back car door to retrieve my bag.
“He has to be juiced up. No one can bench-press that.” “Probably, where do we get some of that shit? You’re a
doctor, write us a prescription,” I say dryly as I start toward the house.
Cameron rolls his eyes. “I can’t wait to go to jail, so you can have bigger biceps. Dick.”
I turn back to face him as he walks behind me. “Can that happen? Just say you write a dodgy prescription, would you go to jail?”
Cam screws up his face. “Yes, of course. What do you think?”
I raise my eyebrows as we continue up the drive. “Huh, I never knew that. So, what if your prescription pad gets stolen?”
“Then you’re basically screwed,” he replies.
“Hmm.”
We walk up the steps and the front door opens in front of us. Heidi Mills smiles as she steps out into the sun. Her long sandy blonde hair is messed up and she is wearing a skimpy gold dress and high strappy stilettos.
“Miss Mills, ravishing as always,” Cameron smiles as his eyes drop down her perfect body. He holds both of his hands up to accentuate his compliment.
She smirks at him. “You know it, Cam. Not happening.” She walks past us without stopping.
He turns and smacks her on the ass as she passes him. I laugh and we head into the foyer where we see two more gorgeous women walking down the hall out of the party room.
“Heelloooo.” Cameron smiles as he raises his eyebrows. “We haven’t met.” He holds out his hand to the tall brunette and she takes it as she smiles.
“Carmen.” She bites her lip to stifle her mischievous grin as she shakes his hand.
“Cameron, I’m Joshua’s brother and this is Murph.” He smiles as he gestures to me.
I look her up and down and nod. “Hi,” I mutter deadpan. “I’m Allegra.” The dark blonde steps forward.
Cameron smiles as he looks her up and down. “All legs alright.” Both the girls burst into giggles.
My eyes flick to him and I smirk. “You did not just say that.” He laughs and then winks at me. I shake my head and head down to the party room. The door on the other side of the room into the pool area is open. I can see Joshua in the
pool so I head back to the kitchen to make myself a coffee.
Cameron walks in after me. “Meeeooow,” he snaps. “Fucking hot.”
I smile and shake my head. “Coffee?”
“Yep.” He sits at the kitchen island, opens the paper and starts to read.
I continue making three coffees as Joshua walks into the room from outside in a towel.
“Hey,” he murmurs as he continues to the cupboard and starts to make a protein shake.
“Fucking yessssss,” Cameron snaps. “Pussy trifecta.”
Joshua smirks as he keeps looking down at the shake he’s making, and I laugh out loud.
“Did you go to the gym?” Joshua asks into his shake. “Yeah. Did you know that black haired guy can deadlift
100 kg?” Cameron asks.
Joshua looks at him and replies flatly. “So?” “You reckon he’s on the juice?”
Joshua shrugs. “Who fucking cares? What are you checking him out?”
Cameron frowns. “No…Murph was.” He shoots me a stupid smile. I shake my head and take another sip.
