Gone (h.s.)

Chapter 8

It's been one week since that night with Harry. Harry and I have been sitting together at lunch. His friends, Niall and Katie, always sit with us cause they're friends with Harry.

Alex has moved all of his shit into our house so it's official, that fucking bastard lives with us.

"So, Natalie, wanna hang out with us after school? We're going to the theatres." Katie asks me. She's actually really nice. I thought Harry's friends would be total assholes but Niall and Katie are really great people.

"Uhm, Sure, but I'll ask my mum after school cause you know how moms get." I joke.

*************************************

After school, Harry drives me home and tells me he'll pick me up at around 5:20.

I walk in the door and my mom is cooking dinner. "Natalie! Get your ugly ass in here, now!" She yells from the kitchen. I cringe and walk to the kitchen.

"Yes, mother?"

"Who was in that car?" God, does she just sit at the window and watch me?

"Oh, a friend from school."

"Since when did you have friends?"

Wow, nice mom.

"Uhm I don't know." I shrug. "Oh, I'm going to the library to work on a school assignment with my partners around five thirty." I 'stretch' the truth.

"So you're not eating here?"

"I am. It's only three o;clock."

"Okay."

*************************************

At dinner, my mother sets three plates on the table. Once we are all sitting at the table, she starts to talk.

"Okay, Alex, you can't get mad. Neither can you, Natalie." She looks at us and takes a deep breathe. "I'm.." and there's a knock at the door.

I get up to see who it is, Harry.

"Harry.. wait in the car. My mother is telling us something, something that's very important apparently." He nods and walks back and I shut the door.

"I'm pregnant." Alex and I both drop out mouths open. Alex gets up from the table and opens the door to the house and slams it shut after he exits.
