Stuck with One Direction

Chapter 35

"So, why are we here?" Zayn asks and I let out a sigh. I look at Niall and see him giving me a reassuring smile so I return the gesture.

"Okay, as you all know in the previous chapters of Keeping up with Carter my dad came to visit me during an early morning." I say and take a deep breath. I was hoping they would laugh so it will cool the air but the didn't.

"Yes, and?" Louis says and I bite the side of my cheek.

"What did he want?" Alex asks and suddenly the idea of not seeing him again appears in my head and I feel the lump form in my throat.

"H-h-he s-sai-said I-I-"

"Carter you are stammering, you never do that. What happened?!" Alex jumps from his seat and stands up, looking at me with his eyes wide open.

"Carter?"

I suddenly feel very self conscious as all of their eyes are glued on me with this serious look that has me peeing in my pants. I knew I had their attention but this is beyond that now, they have me watched so bad that they would notice a hair falling.

Get yourself together! I scold myself.

"Okay," I let out a long breath and ask Alex to sit because he is making me much more nervous and not helping me.

"I a-am, er, I'm-er," I curse under my breath as I keep stuttering, "I am-uh pregnant!" I suddenly yell and they all look puzzled.

"Oh shit," I mutter. "I'm moving back to the U.S. with my dad after summer ends." I finally say and I hear some gasps coming from them.

The six idiots I have learned to-uh-stand look at me with a shocked look and I look at Niall to see him looking down at his lap. Suddenly Alex gets up and leaves the living room and goes upstairs. That's the kind of reaction I was hoping that I won't get from him.

"Alex!" I call and he doesn't answer. I feel my heart ache and I fall onto my seat, not feeling like standing anymore, not feeling like doing anything, and suddenly we hear him loudly shut the door.

"Are you pranking us? If you are, this is the time to tell us." Josh says and I shake my head as I look down at my lap. Oh, how much I wish I was pranking them.

"What do you mean you are going back to the U.S.? But what about that college you and Alex were planning to go together? What about the condo? Wh-"

"Please stop! This wasn't my decision. It was my dad's." I sigh.

"You can't change his mind?" Liam asks and I shake my head, still having my head bowed.

"Why does he want you to leave?" Harry asks.

"Because of you, I mean, not you-ugh, because he doesn't want me living in a house full with guys and wants me back with him at the U.S. ." I reply and look up to see Josh has left as well. Shit.

I look back down and suddenly feel a hand on my back, so I look up again and see him, flashing me a smile. "It's okay, we'll try and convince him to make you stay. There's no way I'm letting you go back to that mediocre country." He says and I let out a light chuckle.

"Hey, it's not mediocre." I retort and he smiles.

"England is better, come on." He winks at me and I roll my eyes playfully.

"You won't leave Carter. We won't let your dad take you." Zayn says as he approaches me and crouches down to be the same level as me and grab my hands.

"I will have a talk with that dad of yours and after two seconds he will be laughing at the idea of you leaving." Louis says and I chuckle but then I think what if I do leave.
