***Abby's POV***

It is six in the morning when Carly finally fell asleep. I'm standing over her watching her sleep. Her face is tear stained and her hair is a mess. I feel bad for her. But I can't get it out of my head that Liam would do this to her. Liam loves her.
    I walk out of my room so Carly can get some sleep. I walk downstairs and went into the living room. I have to tell the band what's going on with the tour. I pull out my phone and send a group text.

    Abby-band meeting at my place

    I send it and hoping they hurry over here. To get my mind off everything I walk into the kitchen to get something to eat. I make myself something to eat. I'm sitting at the table eating when I see a newspaper sitting there. I grab it to look through it. My eyes go wide when I see who is on the front. Carly isn't going to like this at all. The picture is of Liam and Danielle and the headline says 'Liam and Danielle Announce Their Wedding'. This can't be good.
    Suddenly the doorbell rings. I quickly get up and walk to the door. I open it and standing there is Christy, Nicole, Ryder and Dylan. I put on a big smile for them, but inside I am disappointed that Lucas isn't with them. I let them in and we went to the living room. They all sit down and I am standing in the middle of the room.
    "I'm sorry Abs, Lucas didn't want to come." Dylan says disappointment in his voice.
    I just nod not trying to look like it affects me. I sit down in one of the seats because suddenly I feel like I can't stand anymore.
    "So what's this meeting about babe?" Ryder smirks at me.
    I chuckle. "Well, we all know were going on tour with One Direction." Right away Nicole and Christy scream. I hold my ears until they were done. I glare at them. "Can we please keep it down? Carly is upstairs sleeping."
    "Why isn't she down here?" Nicole just has to ask that.
    I just look at her speechless. Should I tell them everything? If they ask about Carly, they're going to ask about Lucas. I take a deep breath and let it out. "Carly and Liam aren't really on good terms. So Carly doesn't want to go on tour." They all start talking at once. I hold my hand up so they would stop. "But she wants us to still go. She asked me to sing the songs." They all just nod, but I can tell they were sad that it has to be this way.
    Dylan's eyes are burning into me knowing that Liam did something. I look at him with pleading eyes to let this go. I know he won't, but didn't he and Carly just make up. I don't think she will like it if he would hurt Liam.
    Dylan clears his throat like he is going to say something, but he doesn't.
    "Why isn't Lucas here?" Christy asks with concern in her voice. I drop my head so they won't see how hurt I am.
    Dylan speaks up. "Lucas isn't going on the tour either."
    "What?" They all say in unison.
    "Don't worry about Lucas. I will convince him to come back." They look at me with smiles, but I'm not smiling. I am scared to death to face him.
    When they all leave I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. I went back up to my room to check on Carly. She is still sound asleep. I quickly write a note telling her where I'm going and step out of my room. I run downstairs and out the door. Now to do the long trek to Lucas' house.
    When I come to his house I wanted to run back to mine. I shouldn't be here. I am scared to face him to tell him I am pregnant; now I'm scared to do this. I take a deep breath and walked up to the door. I ring the doorbell and wait for someone to answer. Part of me is hoping that no one will answer; and the other part wishes Lucas will just answer the damn door so I can get this over with.
    "Abby."
    I look up didn't even hear the door open. Lucas is standing there with a blank face. He has dark circles under his eyes. He looks like he hasn't had sleep in days. I don't know what to say. I am speechless. Lucas steps out onto the porch and sits down on the step. I get my feet to move so I can sit down beside him. There is silence. I just have to tell him to come back. The only reason why he doesn't want to come on tour is because of me, but if I tell him everything is alright maybe...just maybe he will come back. I look over at him and he's staring at me. Was he looking at me this whole time?
    He spoke up first. "Abby why are you here?"
    I open my mouth to say something, but no words come out. Damnit.
    He shakes his head and is about to get up. I put my hand on his arm to make him stay. "Lucas can we please put this behind us?"
    Lucas looks away from me trying to think about it. When he stands up this time I don't stop him. He is pacing in front of me and I am just sitting there looking at him.
    "Abby this is something we can't just forget." Lucas stops and he is standing in front of me looking down at me.
    "You think I don't know that. Lucas I'm scared to face this on my own..." Suddenly tears start filling my eyes. Lucas comes back to sit beside me. He puts his arm around my shoulder. "I want you to be here."
    "I want to, too." Lucas puts his hand under my chin and pulls my face closer to his. I feel his lips touch mine. It is nice. His lips linger on mine, but pull away.
    I smile at him. "Please come on tour with us?"
    He smirks at me. "What do I get in return?" Right away I punch his arm. He puts his hands up in surrender. "Okay, okay."
    I get up and turn around to face Lucas. I hold out my hand. He takes it and stands. "Where to my lady?"
    I chuckle. "Back to my house. Carly is there."
    Lucas turns to face me. He can see the sadness in my eyes when I mention Carly. I wave it off. I really don't want to talk about Carly and Liam at the moment. I just got Lucas back and I'm never letting him go.
