Only Love Can Hurt Like This

Ava's pov

It had been a couple weeks since I moved back in with Sebastian, everything was going great. Jake hadn't contacted me which was a plus.

I planned to go out with some of the girls from work to a nightclub in the city, I turn my music up whilst getting ready I was keeping it casual, leaving my blonde hair lightly curled and a little bit of make up.

I order an uber at 9pm saying bye to Sebastian before leaving the apartment and making my way into the city.

A few hours had went by and we were all drunk on the dance floor dancing, I may have had one too many Pink Gin's and Lemonade swearing this one would be my last. The music thumps in my ears as I dance the night away feeling an arm wrap around my waist with a large hand resting on my tummy, my back was against the persons chest I continue to dance not taking any notice.

"The girls have told me that's your last drink little one, thought i'd come pick you up saving you from waiting on an Uber back". Of course it was Sebastian coming to my rescue.

Turning round i'm still wrapped in Sebastians arms, I wrap my arms around his neck resting my body slightly on his taking in the familiar smell of his cologne.

The girls had opted to stay at the club but I had called it a night heading home with Sebastian. The drive back was great I turned up the radio and sang my heart out giving Sebastian a live concert for one night only with me!

We get back to the apartment, I get undressed and climb into bed with Sebastian. I trace my fingers across his muscular chest letting my eyes flutter shut.

The following morning i'm woken up by a thumping in my head and a sick feeling in my stomach. I quickly get out of bed and race to the bathroom throwing up the contents of last nights alcohol, my hair is pulled out my face by Sebastian and he pats my back to ensure i'm ok. He leaves the bathroom for a second and returns with a bottle of water and some painkillers for my head.

We return to bed and switch the tv on both enjoying each others company before Sebastian had to go to a meeting.

Sebastian had left for the meeting and I was lay flicking through my text messages when I come across a silent message, I open it and my stomach drops.

It was the pharmacy reminding me to collect my birth control 7 weeks ago

I quickly sit up racking my brain as to how I could possibly have forgotten to collect my birth control, I usually always go get it when I get the text message.

Then the penny droppped.

Jake had put the message onto silent.

I scramble up grabbing some joggers and a hoody before pulling on my running shoes, I grab my keys and phone before running out the door and into my car.

I race towards the city and the pharmacy that I get my birth control from. How could I have forgotten? Sure a lot has happened within the past 7 weeks I left Jake, moved in with Sebastian and work had been crazy busy.

I park before heading into the pharmacy, I speak to the receptionist who confirmed I should of collected the birth control 7 weeks ago and advised on a pregnancy test before taking the next lot of birth control pills.

I agree and grab a Clear Blue test from the shelve, tapping my card to pay and heading to the nearest toilet, surely I can't be pregnant? But then again I was sick probably from all the alcohol.

I go into the cubicle, opening the box and unwrapping the test before peeing on it. I wipe and head out to wash my hands, I placed the test back in the box for 3 minutes. I stand against the sink and set a timer on my phone for 3 minutes.

After what feels like forever the timer had went off signaling that I could look at the test. I open the box and pick up the test, it's still processing.

My heart stops for what feels like forever, I look at the test in disbelief.
