Courtney's PoV

Yesterday mum had told me about my dad and today I got a text from an unknown under. It started to worry me because I don't give my numbers out unless it's to someone I know. And how could this random person get my number I kept staring at the text what said "I know your mine babygirl, if you ever want to meet me just give me a call and we can meet up in town" I suddenly thought of who it could be. My dad. I didn't reply I just ignored it and got out a book. I've been meaning to finish reading it for awhile but I haven't got round to it, with the cheating ex, the baby scan, the mock exams and the revision how could I have time to read. But now I don't have school until September but I'll be to far along to go back to school so I'm going to be home schooled and only have to go in for my exams which was a benifit but also it was going to be hard because my little one would be here by then and I would have to spilt revision and baby up into equal times and then I would have to add to that my personal times for example social times but to be honest I will only split it between baby and revision. I got my book of the shelf and got back into bed. I put my lamp on and started to read, if your wondering what I'm reading, I'm reading I'm reading 'the night rainbow' by Clare King. It's a good book but I've only read the first chapter so I can't judge it all yet. As it became lighten I turned out my lamp and opened my curtains and got back into bed and continued reading. I had been up reading since 5am and it's now 8am so I had been reading for 3 hours and had almost finished the book. I only had to read 5 more pages and then I had finished. I continued reading u till I got to the end and then I smiled. I had finished a book and it was the first book I had finished in ages. Now I had to I had to choose what to read next and had a hard decision on what to choose. I was stuck between three books to read it was between
'If I told you I love you, I'd have to kill you' by ally Carter
'Jane Austin stole my boyfriend' by Cora Harrison
"In the heart of the sea' by Nathaniel Philbrick
In the end I chose to read in the heart of the sea. I picked the book up along with if I told you I loved you I'd have to kill you and sat on my bed with my shoulder bag, I put my second book in the bag and my my book mark in first choice and then headded to the bathroom. I jumped in the shower and washed my hair and everything else and then headded quickly to my room. I sat on my bed and opened my bed side table draw, in this draw j had a pair of leggings which had silver gem things going down the left leg and my black crop top which had silver gem things down be left too. And when I had dryed I got dressed into it and added my black dangle earrings my black Bandana which had gem things and added some make up with Red lipstick and then slipped on my red converses, I know unique right. All black apart from my lips and shoes. I look my self up and down in the mirror and for the first time in ages, I smiled at what I see. My bump had grown perfectly according to the docter I saw two days ago, I just had a check up to see how I was getting on and I was told the baby was growing perfectly and my bump should be goals to others who are pregnant. That made me laugh when I remember being told this.

By the time I was dressed it was 9:30 well I don't rush. I pick up my phone and take a picture of my bump from the side and I log into Facebook I attach the photo to a states and write

Courtney Conner'xo: bumps growing perfectly, can't wait until my little baby Is born. It will either be my little prince or my little princess but whatever it turns out to be ill love it unconditionally.

After I post the status it soon gets 5 likes one was Bethany, one was aunt Chelle, one was Faye, one was Simon and one was Millie. She is pathetic only a few weeks ago she told me to delete her and not to have contact with her and now she likes my things on Facebook. Is she for real. Before I log out I see two comments on my picture. The first comment said 'bump goals courts ❤️' and that was from Bethany, I smiled at that one until I saw the second one. The second One was from a Justin Rutterford which said 'Cute bump babygirl, love you" that creeped me out. I picked my bag up and rushed out my room to see a note on the table saying mum was at the factory. I rushed out the door and locked it and ran down the stairs and to the factory. All the way I could sense eyes on my but didn't know why. I rushed into the factory and to mums office but sigh when I see she's in a meeting. Someone comes to put their hand on my shoulder and I jump "Courtney, is something up, you seem distressed" maddie says as I turn to face her. I was out of breath from running and the baby "I need to talk to mum, as soon as possible" I say now shaking "what has happened courts" she asked "Justin Rutterford, I don't know who he is but he's commented on my picture, I posted a picture on Facebook of my bump and he said cute bump babygirl, love you" I say rushing "breath" maddie says to me as everyone comes back from their brake "your mum should be out in an hour, how about I get your mum to give you a call when the meetings finished" maddie asked me so I nod panicked still. I take deep breaths to calm myself and destress myself I go and sit outside the factory on the grass and read my book. An hour later mum phoned "courts is evreything ok, maddie said you were panicked" mum says "mum who's Justin Rutterford" I ask, the line went quite and out rushed mum. "Courtney, where did you hear the name" mum asks me and I look at her confused "he commented on my picture on Facebook he said cute bump babygirl, love you" I explain to mum and as take my hand "Courtney that's your dad, what ever you do, if he asks to meet up with you say no" mum said panicking so I agree "right princess, Shall we see if you can stay at aunt chelles for the rest of the day" mum asks me and I shrug "can I go round to see Faye and Miley" I ask mum and she nods "but text me when you get their." Mum says and I nod before wailing across the square to annas flat and rang to see if Faye was in "who is it" I hear Faye say through the telicom "it's Courtney and Bean" I say and she buzzes me up. I walk up the stairs and into the flat "hey courts your bumps coming along nicely" Faye says. We sit talking for a while until Miley starts crying and I get a phone call from mum. "Yeah mum" I ask. "The police are here, they have news about lucasz" mum says and I knew what she was going to say "he's died, they are hear to arrest you on the conditions of assault, manslaughter and murder" mum tells me and I brake down. My baby was going to grow up with no father and I'm getting arrested. I froze.

I told Faye i had to leave and I got my book out heading over to the factory. I was scared I entered and all eyes were on me the police came over to me "Courtney Conner, we are arresting you of the forms of Assault, manslaughter and murder. You may not say anything but Anything you do say will be taken to account which you later rely on in court" one of the officers aha while coming over to me and taking my book off me and handing it to my mum. Mum try's to get one last hug before I was exported to the police care and put in the back. I look out the window to see aunt Chelle running to mum. All of a sudden I started crying and that's all I remember before being carted off to the police station where I was put it a cell after being told to remove my earrings and shoes and anything which may be used to harm myself. I had to take my plastic belly bar out (you can get plastic ones for when your pregnant, one of my friends has one like it, I'll try and get a picture of the next chapter) if you ask me it's stupid having to remove a plastic belly bar but I had no choice. I was locked in the cell and it was only the start. If only lucasz told me he didn't want to be with me then maybe I wouldn't be in this situation now I sigh as I slide down wall with my hands on my stomach feeling my little one kicking. I let the tears role down my eyes all I wanted to do now was give up but they would be no good for anyone.
