“Wakey wakey”
Looking up I saw Andy standing at the door. Moving around slightly I felt some one next to me.
“Morning” mumbled Juliet. Opps we must have fallen asleep watching videos on YouTube.
“Ugh, Andy go away” I groaned.
“Get up you can sleep on the bus” he said, walking away and continued to yell at everyone else.
“Shit...” I groaned, I had to sing tonight. I grabbed all my bags and Juliet helped me with my stuff out to the bus. Tiffany obviously stayed the night, dressed in her same clothes as she was in last night however adding one of Ashley’s shirts over the top as a ‘jacket’.
“Call me?” she coo’ed in front of him, pulling at his jacket he had on.
“Sure...” he smiled, moving in for a kiss on the cheek.  I rolled my eyes lugging my bags towards the bus.
“Let me”
I looked up and saw Jinxx grabbing my bags.
“You shouldn’t be carrying them” he added, slightly grinning.
“If I start acting like a princess not carrying my own bags everyone will know something is up” I replied yanking at least one back. Jinxx was sweet and I know he was looking out for me but I needed to sort things out before I started drawing attention to myself, I already knew I was running out of time. I quickly took the back room so I could work on something without the guys interrupting me. I couldn’t wait til tonight, to get back on stage and do what I loved. Smiling at the thought I didn’t hear Sammi knocking on the wall.
“Sammi, you don’t have to knock you can just come in” I said as she popped her head through the curtain.
“I’m here too” Juliet said as she looked through too.
“Both of you can always come in” I smiled, Juliet and I were on much better terms now that we actually decided to talk to each other. Which made me happier, I always tried to get along well with my brothers girlfriends, emphasis on ‘try’.
“Did you show Juliet what I bought your little one yesterday?” Sammi grinned.
“I saw it, It’s adorable! I can’t wait to see him or her in it” Juliet smiled back.
“Don’t get your hopes up ladies, I still haven’t told him” I sighed shutting my laptop.
“Do you want our help?” Juliet asked.
“What are you gonna do? Tie him down so he can’t escape?” I asked, with a slight grin at picturing Ashley tied down. Shaking my head I threw the thought out, this wasn’t the time for that!
“No...but we could try and keep him away from the girls for long enough to tell him?” Sammi said.

“Well I have to tell him soon, I don’t know how long I’ll  be able to hide this” I added rubbing my tummy.
“Your gonna look so cute!” Sammi smiled.
“what will your parents say?” asked Juliet.
“Umm...I wanna tell them in person and preferably with the father knowing, they’ve always been supportive with everything” I replied hesitantly. Juliet nodded agreeing.

The rest of the day the three of us just hung out leaving the boys to do their thing. I was glad to not have to face Ashley for the rest of the day, all I could think about was that fake blonde all over him.

Finally got to sound check, finally could sing all my stress out ready to tear it up tonight. I walked out on stage and I saw my friends plus Jacob huddled together talking.
“Hey guys” I smiled, they all turned and gave me a wary look.
“What’s up?” I smiled. Jesse rubbed the back of his head, not wanting to say anything.
“Ariel...listen..” Ben started.
“We’ve had a change up; you’re out” Jacob hissed.
“Excuse me?” I choked.
“We just don’t want you or that ‘thing’ in our band” Jacob replied cold and harsh. I looked around at them all.
“Ariel...we know you’re pregnant...” Zack started.
“We don’t think it’s healthy for you to be up on stage...” Jesse started trying to ease the pain.
“Fuck you all!” I snapped, tears in my eyes. No words came to my mouth, I was dumbstruck. How could they do this to me, I started this band. I hated being pregnant at the moment, all I wanted to do was cry.

I locked myself in the bus and jumped in my bunk. My pillow was covered in tears, I can’t believe their doing this. I felt my phone go off and it was a message from my manager.
‘Ariel, I’m sorry to hear of your departure from the band, we will miss you dearly, tonight after the set we will release an official statement saying you had to leave the band due to  un-for seen circumstances, if you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me, Dave.

Oh my god! I hissed I can’t believe they told Dave I quit the band! I hate Jacob! I can’t believe he finally got me out! No one will believe me now I sobbed. My dream was over!

“Ariel! Are you in here?”
I opened my eyes from crying and looked around. I was still in my bunk.
“Yeah..” I croaked rubbing my eyes so I could wake up alittle more. The light blinded my eyes as the curtain was pulled opened. Ugh I groaned.
“Ariel, what happened? Why weren’t you on stage?”
I recognised the voice to be Ashley’s.
“Ash, I don’t want to talk about it” I bit my lip, trying not to cry again.
“Ariel, Please” he begged.
“No Ash” I hissed, trying to get away from him. Pushing him aside I jumped down and made a run for the door, I couldn’t face him. He grabbed my wrist pulling me back as I fought and pushed him away. The harder I pushed the tighter his grip got until I fell on the floor in his arms. His war paint smeared all over me again. I had no more tears to cry, so I sat silently in his arms.
“Now, tell me what happened?” Ashley asked.
“You can’t tell Andy”
“He’s gonna work it out pretty quickly Ariel” he reminded me.
“I left...” I lied.
“Ariel, I know when you’re lying”
Taking a deep breath, I whispered
“They kicked me out”
“What! Why?” he gasped.
“Don’t worry Ash” I said trying to get up, to avoid this awkward conversation.
“Why won’t you tell me?” he called to me.
“Because I don’t want to ruin everything” I whispered. I hoped he didn’t hear that.
“You could never ruin anything”
Closing my eyes I sighed, Damn that boy had me again! No wonder all the girls fell for him. I turned to face him and he wiped the stray tear from my cheek.
“I’m pregnant”
There was silence; I didn’t know what to do. So I did all I knew, walking away. This time Ash let me. I looked back and he was stunned.
“To who?” he stuttered back at me, wide eyed.

Stepping out of the bus, I saw all the BVB army had started to gather waiting for the guys. They were all screaming and chanting. I wanted to get away, so I pulled my hood over my head. I turned to walk the opposite way when the screams got louder.
“ASHLEY!” they all screamed.
“Is it mine?” Ash yelled, I could barely hear over the fans. I turned and Ash ran towards me. He always seemed to be running to my rescue in some way or form.
“Is it mine?” he repeated.
“Yes” I nodded. He reached over, placing a hand on my tummy.
“I’m going to be a father?” he mumbled.
“Yes...”
