Best Friends with Eleanor Calder

Chapter 18

I grab Maddie and HArry and bring them into the kitchen. I dial my mom's familiar digits.

"hey hun!"

"Hey Mum!"

"Whats wrong honey?"

"umm am I not allowed to talk to my mother?!"

"Of course you are sweetie, I'm just wondering why you are calling so early?"

Oh yeah time change.

I ignore her statement and take a deep breath, "Mum will you get on skype."

'Um ok? But is something wrong?"

"Uhh I can't tell you over the phone just please get on skype and bring Dad."

"Alright."

I hang up the phone and look towards Maddie. She is starting to shake. Really? whats up with her? I mean come on now. I sigh and bring Maddie into a hug.

"Everything will be ok." I soothe her. She nods quickly. I bring the laptop on the couch and position it so they can see all 3 of us. Mum sends us a skype request.

"Hey sweetheart!" Mum chimes. I can feel Maddie shifting next to me. Dad is sitting next to Mum.

"Hello!" I chime.

"We are busy now what is it you want to tell us?" Dad asks gruffily.

Maddie shakily sighs, "Mum, Dad Harry and I are ermm.. Dating.."

Mum says, "Oh thats lovely but why couldn't you call us?"

BEfore Maddie could answer Dad says, "Curly if you hurt my daughter or ever get her pregnant I will personely and single handly ruin your life."

Oh uh. Oh shit.

Harry face pales, "err yeah.."

Maddie takes a rough breath in, "ermm thats the thing Dad I am."

My Dad eyebrows furrow. "What?"

"Umm Mum, Dad you are going to be grandparents."

My Mum and Dad's eyes go wide.

"WHAT?!" My Dad screams. I can feel Maddie and Harry tense. Oh shit this is not going to end well.

I stay silent..

"Do you want me to repeat it?"

My sister says slimly. Oh god.

My dad takes a rough breath in,"HOW COULD YOU?! YOU'RE 16!" He screams through the camera. I wince and Maddie whimpers.

"I'm sorry dad." Maddy whispers. Zayn walks into the room and sits down next to me. He bends over and kisses my temple before putting an arm around me.

"And you." My dad says pointing at Harry,"By the time I get back you will be hoping your already dead!"

I start to say"Dad stop ok can we just talk abo-"

"SHUT UP SLUT!" he screams at me cutting me off. I gasp along with Zayn and Harry and Maddie.

My heart rate picks up. Did he just call me a slut? Is that all I am? He's right I am one. I had sex with a guy I just started going out with but previously hated. I feel my eyes starting to water. Zayn tightens his grip on my waist.

"Did.you.just.call.your.daughter.what.I.think.you.called.her?" Zayn says through his clenched teeth.

"Believe it boy."My Dad replies.

Zayn approaches the camera,"YOU BETTER TAKE THAT BACK! COURTNEY IS NOT A SLUT! I CAN'T BELIEVE HER OWN FATHER WOULD THINK OR EVEN SAY THAT! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! COURTNEY IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN AND YOU CALL HER A SLUT?! DON'T EVER TALK TO HER LIKE THAT AGAIN." Zayn screams.

He takes a deep breath in and mutters,"Bastard."

My Dad opens his mouth to say something In reply but Zayn grabs my hand and pulls me into our bedroom.

"shhh it's ok." Zayn whispers into my ear. I sob into his chest.

"I can't. Believe it." I break out into sobs. He nods understanding me.

He looks at his watch,"let's watch a movie alright ?"

I nod,"Hold on I need to go to the loo."

"Thanks for the update!" He retorts.I stick my tongue out at him.I walk into the bathroom and pull down my pants. I notice blood on my underwear. Shit it's that time I the month. I know we don't have any stuff here because I used it all up last time. I groan and roll up toilet paper and put it in my underwear. I walk out.

"err Zayn?"

He looks up,"Yeah babe?"

"Will you run to the store to get me some stuff?"

He looks up from Netflix.

"Ya sure what kind of stuff?" he asks.

I feel my cheeks grow hot,"Err... You know feminine stuff."

He chuckles,"You're so ute when you're embarrassed." He coos.

I look at him.

"Fine fine pads or tampons?"

"pads" I murmur.

He chuckles and grabs his keys,"Be back in a jiffy." He says in his totally posh accent. I giggle at him as he walks out.

Eleanor runs in.

"Are you ok?! We heard what happened."

I groan,"Great does everyone know?"

"yeah Harry told us."

I sigh and lay back on my bed. I bring my hands to my head and rub my temples.

"How's Maddie?"

"she's a little shaken up."

"She's a strong girl."

Eleanor nods,"Where's Zayn?"

I blush,"He went to the store."

Eleanor laughs,"Forgot again?"

"yup!" I say popping the P.

Eleanor giggles.

"But seriously how are you?"

"Well my Dad called me a slut. How do you think I feel?"

Eleanor weakly smiles and grabs my shoulder.

"I'm sure he didn't mean it."

"I'm pretty sure he did."

Louis runs in,"C'mon El! We are late for are period cuddle/movie."

I raise one eyebrow and Eleanor giggles following him out. Zayn walks back into the room.

"here you are my lady.." he chimes bowing at me.

I giggle and take the bag before heading into the bathroom.

I quickly walk out to see Zayn on his phone.

I lean over his shoulder to see what he's looking at.he's reading an article from Sugarscape.

'Zayn Malik buys his girl stuff for her monthly gift. How romantic.'

I let out a laugh,"How romantic Zaynie."

He ignores my comment,"How is this even news?" he asks sighing. I pull out my phone and check my mentions.

@1Dupdates: AWWW ZAYN BOUGHT COURTNEY STUFF FOR HER PERIOD!!

most of my mentions were filled up with that.

I sigh and put my phone down.

Zayn places a finger on my forehead and starts drawing circles.

"Close your eyes babe."

So I do.
