Chapter 17 - Ruining a birthday?

---Melody's pov (november 20th)---

"Hi, I want to book an appointment with my GP. Its imprtant" I asked holding the phone close to my ear. I was nervous mainly because I was booking an appointment. I didn't want to tell someone over the phone that I was pregnant.

"Your GPs name please"

"Dr Hawkins" I answered hoping this would end already.

"Ok he can see you this Wednesday at 4pm" The person on the other end responded. I then scribbled that information on a piece of paper.

"Thank you" I shouted before hanging up. I never liked talking to people on the phone. That was because you couldn't see their face so I was always worried about hoe they would react. There was probably more they wanted to ask me but I was already going to tell my doctor. I then chucked my phone onto the bed before something caught my eye.

"Mels come on the others are going to meet us there" Lucy shouted from behind my bedroom door. I didn't repsond cause I was busy. I was looking in the mirror.

Ever since I found out that I'm pregnant. I have been staring at the mirror every day. Ashton must feel like I'm ignoring him cause its Twitter hate or something stupid. But I've been trying to come up with the words to tell him.

The small box on my nightstand stared back at me ominously. I had taken two more pregnancy tests after the first one just to be sure. Then I took another seven pregnancy tests just to be one hundred and fifty percent sure. I wanted to be certain before i tell Ashton the news... in private.

"Mels are we going or not" George then shouted as I just sighed. I quickly slipped on my denim jacket and grabbed my phone and purse. I wasn't drinking. I had convinced George I would drive us there and home. Anyone else would have questioned it but not George. It not only meant he could drink but it also meant my brother wouldn't be trying to distract him while driving.

"Hold your horses, I was looking for my phone" I answered back while forcing a smile. I could tell by the looks that they were worried and they had every right to be. I had spent the past week indoors ignoring them and everyone. There was also no doubt Ashton had gone on a worry spree and texted and called Zeke and George a bunch of times.

"I have Michael's presents and cards from us" Zeke shouted appearing behind me. A purple gift bag in his hands. Yeah we both were shit at not being late.

"GOOD, let's get going before Ashton starts calling again" George pleaded before opening the door. Lucy and Zeke both left first with me and George shortly behind. I knew those two wouldn't go off far cause they weren't the one with the car keys.

"Mels are you doing ok" George asked as I quickly nodded. I know he didn't accept my answer. He likes hearing the answers cause he's able to tell if someone is lying through them.

"You know I don't like the head nods and the two loud mouths aren't listening so..." George asked once more before he trailed off. I looked at who he meant and chuckled. Once my brother and Lucy started talking nothing and I mean nothing could stop them.

Luckily they had also stopped the elevator door from closing. Me and George then squeezed past them to the back of the elevator.

"You can tell me anything Mels. I won't judge or tell anyone. I won't even make a big show about it" George answered before crossing his chest with a smile. I just chuckled before rolling my eyes.

"I'm dating Ashton. Me and Ethan broke up cause he... then me and Ashton had sex and did you know condoms are only ninty seven percent effective and now I could be carrying his baby " I babbled quickly as he stared at me. His face was blank until the cogs in his head started to process what I had said. The look he now had on his face read pure excitment.
