Brads P.O.V
"I'm pregnant" she says tears running down her face.
I completely freeze in shock. She shakes her head and runs off. I want to stop her but I physically can't. I can't move. I can't think. It's like suddenly my life is changing... Well it is.. I fall back into my chair and run my fingers through my hair. What did I get myself into.... Look what I'm putting her through... We are only 19.. Well 20 in a few months, but still too young to take care of a baby...
I sat until I got interrupted by James, the boys not far behind him.
"Man what's up? We have a show in like 45 minutes.." He says walking over to me.
I look up my eyes bloodshot and shake my head
"Nothing mate. Everything's fine" I say standing up. I didn't want to tell anyone and have anyone telling me I'm a fuck up.
James pulls my shoulder back as I try to walk past him.
"Brad..." He says glaring at me.. "What's wrong?" He asks again.
I sigh and put my face in my hands. James motioned for the guys to go backstage
"We will be there in a sec" he says turning back to me.
I sigh and look up at him
"Sydney's pregnant..." I say looking down.
James eyes widen
"Are you serious?" He asks surprised.
I nod not saying anything.
"Did you say anything to her when she told you...?" He asks
I shake my head.
"No, she came in here all mad and angry when she saw me with Lauren. She thinks there's something going on but there's not! You know that right!! She needed someone to talk too about her grandmother passing so I let her vent. That's all we have talked about really" I shrug. Then continue "then she started yelling at me and getting all insecure, I tried asking her why she thought I wasn't into her anymore and she kept trying to speak and I wouldn't let her and finally she just blurted it
Out and ran off crying.." I say.
I was so overwhelmed at the moment..
James nods.
"Look... You're my best friend Brad... I know this is probably really shooken you up a bit.. But we have a show in a matter of a few mins... So get through the show, then you need to find Sydney and talk to her... Does this change how you feel?" He asks suggesting to the thought of her being pregnant.
I shake my head
"of course not.. I love her." I say honestly.
He nods.
"Tell her that... She needs you now more then ever.." He says patting my shoulder.
I laugh at his seriousness. Even though this wasn't a laughing matter.
"Brad I watch a lot of TV okay... 90210
In particular but that doesn't matter!" He smirks.
I laugh and give him a hug.
"Thanks James... Just promise not to say anything to anyone until I've talked everything out with Syd.." I ask.
He nods
"of course!"
We walk to the side of the stage and brush off the questions the guys were asking. We got geared up to go on stage. Caitlin, Macy and Jessica were watching from the side of the stage. No sign of Syd though. I sighed. I'm praying she was still here... I just wanna get this show over with and go see her and comfort her. I want her to know I'm here and not planning on leaving.
The show starts and I try to be as energized as possible, but I wasn't as wacky tonight. No one seemed to notice It though.
As soon as our set was over I rushed off stage and changed into some new pants and a large black hoodie and sunglasses, trying to hide as I walked to the hotel we were staying at. I assumed Sydney was staying with the girls, or that's what they told me. I walked into the hotel taking off my glasses getting into the elevator. I got off on the 8th floor where the girls room was. I knocked on the door.
"Sydney are you in here?" I ask knocking
I get no response.
I knock harder.
"Syd?!? Please?" I ask, my voice cracking slightly.
I hear a muffled cry.
"Go away Brad.. Please." I hear her finally.
I sigh.
"Babe please... I'm not leaving you sad like this.... Let me in.. Please. Look I love you... I'm not going anywhere.. We are gonna get through this together.." I say.
It gets quiet then I hear the door unlocking.
I step back and it soon opens revealing Sydney. She looked drained.she had probably been crying for hours. She was wearing my shirt, and a pair of pajama pants.
I give her a sympathetic look and walk over and wrap my arms around her. She doesn't push me away or yell at me. She holds on to me and just sobs into my chest.
"I'm so sorry.." I say. This was basically my fault.
She shakes her head
"It's not your fault.." She says wiping her eyes.
I sigh and we walk over and sit on the bed.
She looks at me "Are you gonna leave me?" She asks before looking down again.
I lift up her chin
"You're crazy to think that I'd leave you because of this..." I say rubbing her cheek with my thumb. Her lip starts quivering and I pull her into another hug. She tries to calm herself down. I try soothing her by stroking her hair and leaving the occasional kiss on her forehead.
She finally looks up "I love you... Thank you for staying with me." she says
I nod " I love you too. You are the most important thing in my life now... You and our baby... I promise to be here for you every step of the way" I say kissing her for the first time in two weeks. The spark explodes again. Just like it did when we first met. She adjusts and snuggles into my chest and plays with my hair until she falls asleep. I knew this was gonna be hard, but it's worth it. She's worth it.
