Mack’s POV

I couldn’t stop the tears that were rushing down my face as I finally made it back to mine and Brooke’s room. I fling the door wide open and try to wipe away a few tears before I throw myself down on my bed. I hear a door open but I know it has to be Brooke because she is the only one that has a key to our room.

“Oh my god, Mack. What happened?” Brooke yelled running beside me. She sets a comforting hand on my back.

“Luke..He..And...Kendall..pregnant.” Was all I could get out between my sobs. I know that I am going to explain whatever the hell I just said. “I-I mean, I went to t-tell Luke that I w-was going home, b-but when I knocked on the door, a g-girl answered the d-door and said she w-was his g-girlfriend and she was in j-just a t-towel.”

“He did what?” She yelled jumping up off the bed. I turned around to face her and her face was extremely red. She was fuming, which probably isn’t a good thing. She got up and left the room but I am not sure where she was headed to.

Brooke’s POV

I marched down the hallway over to Luke’s room. I was furious. I honestly don’t know why he would cheat on her. I pounded on his door very loudly. After no one answered, I pounded even harder on the door. Finally someone answered the door. It was none other than Kendall Jenner.

“So your Luke’s ‘girlfriend’ huh?” I asked she nodded and I shoved past her. I may have shoved a little bit to hard but I honestly don’t care. I marched into the room looking for Luke. He was nowhere in the bedroom so I walked to the bathroom and heard quiet sobs. I didn’t even bother knocking.

“Luke.” I said sternly as I barged in. He looked up at me with red puffy eyes and then looked away.

“What do you want?” He said in a rude tone.

“Why did you do it? Why did you cheat on her?” I asked not as harsh.

“I don’t know.” He whispered.

“Luke just tell me!”

“She had been so distant and I didn’t know why. She would barely talk to me. I honestly feel like shit. I don’t understand why I would cheat on her either.” He said still crying. “The worst thing is that she’s pregnant. I’m not ready for all this.”

“Luke it’s not all her fault! It’s your fault too!” I said as I stormed off. I ran back to my room and saw Mack in the same place I left her, lying on the bed crying. I walked up to her and tried to comfort her as much as I could. We watched a sad movie and ate ice cream until we quickly drifted off to sleep.

-----------------------

I woke up with Mack lying next to me with an empty tub of ice cream on her lap. I looked at my phone and saw that it was was 10:30.

“Mack wake up!” I said loudly because she sleeps through everything. She surprising woke up and looked at me very confused. “Wanna go to the mall before everyone wakes up?” She nodded and rolled out of bed.

We quickly got ready and left the hotel. We called a taxi and waited for it to come. After about ten minutes the taxi came. We told him where we wanted to go.

“I need new shorts so lets go to Hollister first?” I asked Mack as we walked into the mall.

“Yeah that’s fine.” She said. We found our way to Hollister. We walked in and looked around for a couple minutes. Then I heard Long Way Home come on over the speakers. I started to hum along to the song which eventually turned into full on singing. I looked over at Mack who was sitting on the ground crying. I walked up to her and sat down next to her.

“Mack are you okay?” I asked.

“No. Just hearing him sing makes me upset.” She said sobbing into my shoulder.

“It’s going to be okay.” I said and the stopped talking.

“Can I help you?” A girly voice asked us. I look up and saw a girl who looked very familiar.

“Wait do I know you?” I asked. “What’s your name?”

“Hailey Jackson.” She said. Oh my god i know her. Our parents are really good friends.

“Oh my god! Do you remember me?” I ashed and she gave me a weird look gesturing that she didn’t remember me. “My names Brooke. Brooke Williams.” Her eyes widened.

“Oh my gosh I haven’t seen you in ages! How’ve you been?”

“Good. I’m just in town for about two weeks though. Now about you?”

“I’ve been good. We need to catch up soon!”

“Yeah we do! How about we hang out tomorrow? I have other problems to deal with today.” I said looking at Mack.

“Okay perfect! And I understand!”

“Alright well we should get going. Seeya tomorrow.” We said our goodbyes and left Hollister.

“What do you want to do now?” I asked Mack.

“Can we get something to eat I’m starving.” She stated.

“Yeah that’s fine. Where do you want to go?”

“Red Lobster? I could really use some crab legs right now.” She said while wiping under her eyes. “Oh and mashed potatoes.” She added. Mashed potatoes and crab legs were her comfort food when she’s upset. I nodded in agreement and we called for another taxi to come and pick us up. We waited for about ten minutes until the taxi finally pulled up. We told him where we wanted to go and we left.

It took us a half hour to get to Red Lobster. When we finally get there Mack rushes inside to get us a table. I meet her inside and she had already gotten a table and ordered our food.

“They said the food will be here in 15 minutes.” She said and I nodded and sat down. We talked about nothing in particular until our food came and then we didn’t talk at all. We just ate. Finally after 20 minutes of eating we finally finished. Mack quickly paid for the bill and we left. We decided just to walk back to the hotel. It wasn’t to far but it was still twenty minutes away on foot.

“Are you nervous?” I asked breaking the silence.

“About what?” she asked back to me.

“You know, the baby?”

“Yeah.” She sighed, “I don’t think I’m ready for this. I mean I’m 18. I shouldn’t be having a baby right now.”

“I know you shouldn’t. Have you thought about your options?” I asked.

“Brooke. I’m not getting an abortion. I would never kill an unborn baby.”

“I know I wasn’t talking about that. What about adoption?”

“I don’t know. I don’t really like the idea of my child not being mine. I feel like I’m going to take one single look at the baby and be attached to it. I don’t know if I could take that.”

“I understand. So if you keep it do you want a boy or a girl?”

“A boy. I’ll name him Michael.” I gave her a weird look. “Not because of Michael Clifford. I’ve wanted to name my son Michael for as long as I could remember.”

“Okay okay.” I said.

“Can I ask you something?” Mack asked me.

“Yeah sure anything.”

“Will you come to the first doctors appointment with me?” She asked and I smiled.

“Of course! When is it?”

“Two days. Is that okay?”

“Yeah!” I said as we walked into the hotel. Before she could say anything else we got interrupted.

“Mack can I please talk to you?” Luke said walking up to us.

“Leave me alone Luke.” Mack said harshly walking towards the elevator. Luke looked at me and I just shrugged my shoulders and followed Mack.
