His second choice (s.m)

Y/N'S POV (FLASHBACK CHAPTER):

I throw my cap on and loosely tie my hair back, before putting on my sun glasses - I want to be in and out - no press, no cameras.

I pull up to the store and head inside. I grab a kart and head in - picking up small bits and pieces. Then my phone starts to vibrate in my back jean pocket.

'Hiya babe!!'

Rori.

'Hey! You okay?'

I fumble with my phone resting it on my shoulder and pressing my head to it, making sure it doesn't fall.

'Yeah, because it's Josh's birthday tonight do you reckon you could make it to our place? A lil celebration! At 8.'

'Yes!! Sure! Can't wait to make up for lost time, love youu'

I quickly finish the shopping and head to the till. I'm walking to my car when I can hear my name being shouted - I turn round and see cameras. 5 or 6 of them, Jesus. How did they find me?

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

'Y/N wait!! Please can we have a word'

'Yeah, why not. How can I help?'

Thanks! I appreciate it'

So Y/N, how are you at the moment? We can't help but notice you haven't really been active on social media.'

'Oh hahah, yeah just taking a break - everyone needs one now and then so.'

'How are you and Shawn? Still best mates?'

I nod.

'You're definitely cupid! Getting your close friend Paige Skalzoni and Shawn together.'

'Okay guys, I have groceries that are gonna melt so I need to head off.'

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

I rush to my car quickly loading the bags of food into the back. My mind is absolutely racing. I really need to calm myself down.

I start driving, hoping it helps me know where I'll end up. It doesn't. I pull up down a back road somewhere and ring Andrew - there has to be a reasonable explanation? Shawn and Paige? Surely to God no. They wouldn't do that to me, he wouldn't cheat. He wouldn't.

'Andrew? Hello?'

'Y/N? How can I help you?'

He replies muffled voices in the background. He sounds panicked.

'What's going on? Why are press asking me about Shawn and Paige?'

I laugh hoping that maybe if I do, I'll trick myself into not believing it - he definitely wouldn't.

'Fuck. Y/N I don't know what happened - he's a fool. I'm so so sorry. You saw the pictures then?'

He says, almost in a whisper.

'What? What ... pictures? Andrew what do you mean?'

No matter how many medications I was subscribed and no matter how many breathing methods I was told. I couldn't control this one, the last thing I remember is blanking out.

Now here I am. Bright white lights, beeping machines and a very concerned doctor at my side.

Huh.

'Why the hell am I here?'

I try to sit up but my head begins to ring, I wince in pain before lying back down. The doctor doesn't reply - or I don't think she does anyway.

I don't even know how long I've been asleep but I wake up to Manny, Karen, Aaliyah and Andrew at my side.

'Y/N - you scared the shit out of me'

Andrew forces a laugh and then touches my shoulder, a gesture to show he's glad I'm okay.

'I can't even talk to him Y/N, I don't want too. I'm so sorry my fuck boy of a brother did that.'

She sighs and then comes to my side, carefully picking up my hand and entwining it with hers.

Multiple people came to my bedside, thousand of flowers all showed up from Shawn but I told the nurses to give them to other patients.

My phone is constantly buzzing, the main culprit being Shawn, I wont let him see me I just won't, I can't look at him ever.

I decide to ring him back. Tell him I don't ever wanna hear from him again.

'Y/N? Thank fuck, what happened? Are you okay? Why aren't you talking to me?'

So he doesn't know I know?

'Isn't it obvious Shawn? Your clearly a know it all.'

'No Y/N I don't know what you're-'

I cut him off.

'The pictures Shawn. You kissed Paige! That was our first proper night of being okay!!'

'What? Y/N No! Let me explain!'

'I don't want to hear it Shawn, if you want to apologise then leave me alone and never talk to me again. You broke our trust Shawn. And with Paige of all people?'

He stutters, but before he can answer I end the call.

Ever since that phone call I just keep thinking about what happened a few months ago. What he said to me - it was a lie?

FLASHBACK (chapter 10 extract)

'I missed you and I'm so sorry that I'm such a fool because I didn't mean-' before he could finish I wrap my arms around his waist snuggling into his broad chest. Home - this feels like home

The smell of citrus and spices fill my air, I always joke he smells like Christmas. He rests his chin onto my head and we stand like that for a while.

I pull away and look at him 'I love you. I really do. I want you and only you.'

He pulls me down onto the couch wrapping me round him 'I love you too. I will always choose you.'

He looks at my lips then my eyes, begging for permission. I lick my lips and he takes that as a yes.

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

I've been here 2 days now, and I'm finally not blacking out and am starting to gain my strength back, I'm eating some soup when a doctor walks in with an unsure expression. Great.

'Ms L/N? How are you feeling?' She picks up the check board off the edge of my bed and starts writing things with her pen.

'Er, alright honestly, can i be honest doc? You don't look like a bearer of good news...'

'Well, Ms L/N, we may be wrong but, and without further tests we can be for certain but, we are 80% certain you're pregnant Ms.'

Say that again?
