"Hey hottie." Someone yells at me.

I swoop around to see Ethan staring at my butt.

"Don't you have a girlfriend." I hiss.
"Pregnant girls apparently have a perfect butt." He winks.
"Shut up!" I nearly scream.
"Just saying the truth." He smirks.
"I'm pregnant with Noah's baby and engaged to him, so you can fuck off." I pull him aside.
"Engaged? Since when." Ethan says confused.
"Since prom? Weren't you there?" I say confused.

I could've sworn he was there.

"Was not."

I just shrug and fix my ring to have the diamond facing him.

"Well, have a great day." I say sarcastically.

I walk away from Ethan but he stops me again. "Meet me outside by the front at ten tonight."
"No." I state.
"Or else." Ethan says in a creepy voice.
"Or else what?" I bite my lip.
"Or else, that baby will turn out to be a miscarriage, and Noah will leave you all alone." Ethan states.
"You can't make that happen." I start walking away.
"I can, if you don't show up. Your choice." Ethan says handing me a folded paper.

I stand still in one place for a moment before starting to walk again. Clenching the paper in my hands, I walk straight into something or someone and just start walking the other way. I realize it is someone because I here a girls voice gasp but I just ignore it. My head down looking at my phone.

"Elle? Hunny you okay?" Noah says noticing me.
"Hm? Oh, yeah." I say looking up at him.
"You sure. Because you just ran into me and walked away without looking up." Noah says concerned.
"Yeah, I just have to get to class." I clench the paper tight in my hand.
"Elle." Noah stops me.
"You don't have anymore classes today."
"Oh yeah." I remember.

Noah and I stare at each other for a couple seconds before I turn around and walk away.

"Elle?" Noah yells my name.

I ignore him and keep walking until I hit the grass.

"What's wrong with you?" Noah jogs up behind me.
"I can't do this Noah." I nearly scream.
"Elle what can't you do?" Noah says concerned.
"Be with him at this school. He scares me Noah." I say without saying Ethan's name.
"Baby I will keep you safe." Noah reminds me.

Noah leans in to kiss me but I stop him. "Wait."
"What's wrong Shelly?" Noah asks.
"If I ran into you, then why did I hear a girls voice."
"Oh, we were just walking together." Noah shrugs.
"What's her name?"
"Hannah."
"What does she look like?" I question.
"Elle, a million times different than you. She's not my type. I promise you. The only girl I want is you."
"Does she know we're toge-"
"If she doesn't I'm pretty sure she does now." Noah cuts me off.

I stand there in silence for a couple minutes before I say. "Noah, I don't want to break up with you. It's just. I kind of want to. I don't know."
"What Elle? Talk to me, please." Noah begs.
"Nothing. Scratch all of that." I forget it all.

I walk over to Noah and I hug him. Noah's big arms wrap around me and he kisses the top of my head smiling.

"Sorry to interrupt, you must be Elle!" A blond, skinny, perfect girl smiles.
"Yes? I am. And you?" I say confused.
"Oh, I'm Hannah." She smiles.
"You never mentioned she was your girlfriend, or that you guys are very serious." She says admiring my bump.
"Well we never really talked about wether or not we were in relationships. We were just walking through the halls together after you stopped me to ask about the work stuff." Noah shrug.
"So how far along are you?" She asks.
"I'm six months, twenty-six weeks. And it's a girl."
"Oh my goodness, congrats." She declares.
"Thank you." Me and Noah both say.
"Well we better get going." Noah grabs my hand.

Hannah says bye and we both leave to go to our cars.

"She's really pretty." I say as Noah gets into the car.
"Not as pretty as you." Noah kisses my cheek.
"You sure?" I say ignore his kiss.
"I'm sure. One hundred million trillion percent sure." He kisses me again, but this time I kiss back.

...

Noah's in the bathroom and I'm lying in bed in grey sweatpants that don't fit over my bump and one of Noah's hoodies which barley fit now, when I get an anonymous text.

'Twenty more minutes until you should be here. Come alone. Or don't come, but remember the consequences.'

I throw my phone down on the bed and look at the door.

"Should I go?" I ask myself.

Noah comes out of the bathroom and lies down beside me.

"I gotta go out." I say grabbing my phone from the bed.
"I can go out for you if you want, what do you need?" Noah stops me.
"Oh, no it's fine. Just some snacks. I need to get out anyways, I haven't been out in a while." I shrug.
"You sure?"
"Mhm." I smile as I grab leggings out of my drawer.

I change into black leggings and put white high top Converse on.

"I'll see you in a bit." I kiss Noah.
"Love y'a ."
"Love you."

I gulp as I close the door behind me, locking it. I'm doing this. I can't put me, Noah or the bay in danger.

I drive to the college and see Ethan waiting in the front.

"I'm doing this. I need to." I tell myself before getting out.

I slowly get out regretting what I'm about to do.

"Wow, you showed." Ethan says as I walk up to him.
"What do you want."
"You Elle." Ethan says grabbing me.
"Let go of me." I say trying to get his hand off my wrist.
"No." Ethan states.
"Let go of me Ethan." I demand.
"Not until you kiss me, love me." Ethan pulls me closer.
"No means no Ethan." I almost yell.

I try to get out of Ethan's grip but he pulls me in a kisses me. I quickly pull off of him and fall back onto the ground, hitting my head on the stair railing.

"Did you like that." Ethan smirks.
"Oh my God fuck you Ethan." I scream.
"So you didn't, We can always try again." Ethan grabs me up.
"No. No Ethan." I say walking away.
"See y'a." Ethan yells.

I rush back to my car and get in. I slam my hands on my wheel and scream. He kissed me. I need to tell Noah about this. But I can't. I told him I was going to the store. I think about going to the store for a minute, but then decide to not go and just go straight home. To tell him. Maybe.
