Can't Stop Runnin'

Chapter 9

Luke's POV

When I get home I see Ashton and Elise sleeping on the couch. Well, at least Elise is.

"Hey." Ashton says, half sitting up.

"Hey." I say.

"Kylie said that she has something to tell you." He says when I'm walking back to my room.

Kylie is asleep, so I decide to wait till tomorrow morning to ask her about it.

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

"Luke?" Kylie asks looking up at me. She just woke up.

"Yes?" I answer, waiting to see what she has to say.

"K, just making sure it was you." she smiles.

"Who else would it be?" I smile back. "Oh, Ashton told me that you had something to tell me?" I remind her.

"Umm... well, I don't know how to say this..." she seems really nervous, I hope it's not bad news.

"You can tell me anything." I stroke her long hair.

"I'm... I'm... I'm pregnant." she looks down.

"What?" I hope that I heard her wrong.

"I don't want to repeat it." she starts to cry. That confirms it, I heard her right.

"It's OK, please don't cry. You'll make a great mom." I tell her. She sniffles, and then looks up.

"You really think so?" She asks.

"Yeah." I smile. She gives me a big hug and doesn't let go.

Ashton's POV

When I wake up Elise is sitting at the kitchen table, eating a waffle.

"Morning sunshine." she says sarcastically. I roll my eyes at her. Today is the day of the concert, and the surprise birthday party.

"Happy birthday." I tell her.

"Why, thank you." she smiles.

"Are you ready for the concert tonight?" I ask. Her smile fades.

"I'm just a little nervous." she admits.

"You'll be fine, you get to sit in front row so I can keep an eye on you." I assure her.

"What would I do, go off with some other guy?" She smiles is back.

"Exactly!" We both start laughing. "I'll be right back, I need to go call my mom... she... uh... was recently put in the hospital." I stutter, its a complete lie.

"Where is she staying?" She presses.

"The Warfook hospital." I quickly reply.

"I hope she gets better soon." Elise says concerned. How the fuck did she fall for that? Whatever, I need to go call Julie to tell her the plan is going good.

"Hello?" Julie answers.

"Hey, so far everything is going good. Elise is ready to go to the concert." I tell her.

"Oh good, I wasn't sure if she would bail out or not." She sighs in relief. "I have to go continue to set up for the party. It turns out Dana popped more than just the extra balloons." she says just as another pop is heard in the background. "Dana!" Julie screams, and then hangs up.

When I go back inside Elise looks in shock.

"What happened?" I ask.

"My friend Kaia just texted me saying that she was in the hospital." she tells me.

"What happened?" I ask again.

"She broke her leg. She is staying at the same hospital as your mom, maybe we could visit." Elise got excited at the last part.

"When I called my mom she said that she didn't want any visitors." I'm really screwed here.

"Please?" Elise bats her long eyelashes at me and sticks out her bottom lip. Her red hair is up in a messy bun. She looks adorable right now.

"Maybe if we have time after we visit Kaia." I lie.

"Yay!" She jumps up and gives me a big hug.

We each take a shower (we're not in stage of our relationship where we take them together), and then we decide where to go for lunch. Elise wins with Panera Bread. I've learned that she orders the same thing every time, a cinnamon crunch bagel, toasted, with hazel nut cream cheese, and a mango smoothie. I order the mac & cheese. After lunch we head to the mall.

"Please can we get Wetzle's Pretzels?" Elise asks.

"We just ate!" I laugh.

"Fine." she fake pouts.

After a little while of shopping (all for Elise, except for one shirt for Kaia) we get Wetzle's Pretzles. We then leave to go to the hospital. The nurse tells us that Kaia is in room 409.

"Hey, Thotty." Elise says as we walk in.

"Hey." Kaia smiles.

"So how exactly did you break your leg?" Elise asks.

"Car accident. I was driving to Calum's house and a fucking car rammed into me. Like what the fuck." she explains. Elise just laughs.

"Are you going to the concert tonight?" Kaia asks. I forgot that Elise doesn't know that Kaia is dating one of my bandmates.

"Uh... yeah?" Elise says, obviously confused.

"Good, I don't want to be alone. Kylie said that she couldn't come for some reason." Kaia replies.

After that they talk for a while. Every once in a while Elise would bring me into the conversation.

"Elise we have to go, I gotta get ready for the concert." I but in.

"Alright, I'll see you there. If you make it out of this hell hole that is." Elise says walking out the door.

"I'll just drop you off at your house after the concert. Is that OK?" I ask

"Trying to get rid of me already?" She raises her eyebrow.

"No I just thou-"

"I was kidding." Elise cuts me off. We here police sirens behind us. "Shit." I mutter.

(Sorry for not updating I'm so long, I've decided that I'll update at least once a week. I love you all so much! Hope you have a great day!)
