The Big Secret

Why?

"What the hell was that?" Luke looked annoyed. "I have no idea, all I know is I'm on my own" my voice broke and tears escaped my eyes. "It will be ok, tell me what happened" Luke put his hand on my leg.

I started telling him what happened between sniffling. My eyes were stinging, I could feel the car moving but the buildings were blurred by the tears. Not like I would know this place anyway. Luke stayed pretty silent until he stopped the car. "Stay here I'll be back in two" he quickly jumped out the car.

He was back within two minutes with a bag, I gave him a weird look "I brought you Ice-cream" he was so sweet. I couldn't form words as I finally pulled my self together. He drove back to my parents house. "Come on, I'll put a film on" he jumped out the car and ran to hold the door open for me. "You're so sweet" he just smiled at me.

We got cosy on the sofa and put on me before you. Of course this will get me crying even more. "I love this film" he laughed and relaxed more in the sofa. Resting his arm behind me. Cookie dough Ben & Jerry's you can't beat. "Hey save some for me" he looked down at the tub which was gone quicker than I thought.

"Here" I scooped a bit and pushed it towards his mouth. He looked taken back but ate the ice cream. How am I this comfortable with this guy already? We took it in turns I'd have a bit then he would. He could go and get his own spoon but whatever.

"I'm sharing your Owen germs" he laughed "Ewww" he started wiping his tongue.  He was absolutely killing himself laughing and I couldn't help but copy his laugh. Suddenly nothing in this world mattered, I was happy. "Anyway hush I'm trying to watch this" I tried to keep a straight face but that lasted a whole of 2 seconds. He held his lips together but I could see he was dying to laugh.

"Ok ok, watch this" he looked mischievous. He was sat on the end of the sofa as I sat in the middle. I shuffled so my back was on his side and my legs on the rest of the sofa. His arm never moved from on the back of the sofa. I could feel myself drifting to sleep, my body felt heavy. "Come here" was all I heard before my body drifted off to a deep sleep.

"Erin, I'm back" I heard Conor, but I didn't move. I was pretty comfy. I could feel an arm wrapped round resting on my stomach, which I presume was Luke. "Seriously? You've known her two minutes!" I daredn't open my eyes. "Shh, shes sleeping" I could only imagine Conors eye roll right now.

"Get off her!" Conor was getting more and more angry. "Erin get up!" I felt someone shake me, guess I've got no choice. "Another rugby player you trying to bed?" Conor screamed, I presume my parents aren't back yet. "Don't speak to her like that! She needed someone to be there and you didnt bother" Luke launched his body off the sofa as soon as I sat up. "She didn't ask!" These two were getting into a heated argument, but I didn't have the energy to break them up.

"She shouldn't have to ask! You could tell she wasn't feeling good and yet instead of coming back with her, you decided to carry on drinking. I was the only one that even cared that she wanted to come home" Luke snapped back, why is he so defensive? "Luke, leave it, its ok" I stood by Luke's side, resting a hand on his shoulder.

Conor stormed off to the kitchen. "Thank you for today, I really appreciate it!" I was trying to hint to Luke to go but he didn't get the hint. "I think you should go" he shook his head. "I'll be fine, I'll text you" he instantly smiled. "Yeah, you best do" he wrapped his arms round my waist and pulled me in for a hug. "My little homewrecker" he whispered and kissed me on the cheek. I blushed like a teenager. "Call me whenever you need Erin, I mean it" i nodded and shut the door behind him.

"What is it? Find every other rugby player attractive but me?" Conor slammed his drink on the table. I havent seen him like this for ages. "Hes just a -" "dont bother me with this he's just a friend business" he mimicked my voice. "Conor why are you so jealous all the time?" His eyes widened. "Jealous? Because I have loved you since we were children! I'm in love with you! I can't see anyone else because everytime I do they don't make me feel the way you do" 

I widened my eyes at him, he started slowly walking towards me. "Erin say something" as he got closer I could smell the beer, he definitely wont remember this in the morning. "You need to leave Conor" I pointed towards the front door, fighting the tears escaping.

"Erin please?" "Conor you promised not to be like this. Luke was just making sure I was ok, I fell asleep on him" why am I justifying why Luke was here. "I'm sorry" I could see the tears in his eyes. "Erin" he kept saying my name but I couldn't bare to look at him.

He reached for my hands but I moved them before I he could hold them. "Erin, please let's give us a shot?" I looked up at him and all the feelings I had for him consumed my body. Then the thought of Owen brought me back to reality. All I could do was shake my head. "Why?" I stayed silent "Why Erin? You are my best friend, the only person I could ever be with" his words broke me but the smell of alcohol reminded me that this could only be drunken words.

"Because I'm pregnant"
