Hooked on you (hollyoaks)

022

Grace knew how things with her and Warren had been cold since she had told him that she didn't know if she wanted the baby.

He hadn't been sleeping in bed. He had been choosing to sleep on the sofa. Grace knew how she hated it.

She knew she couldn't tell him about how she was really feeling. He wouldn't understand. He wasn't even talking to her.

Grace hated how things had changed. She knew that Warren wanted a baby. But she didn't. She was worried that it was going to change. And she wasn't ready.

She didn't know how to open to up to him. She felt as though it was too much for her. She needed to somehow make Warren see that she wasn't being selfish. She just didn't know if she could be a parent.

She hadn't had the best family growing up. And she felt like that would influence how she was going to be a parent.

All Grace knew was that things had changed. And she wasn't sure on how to make it go back to how it used to be.

Morning came and Grace woke. Just as she thought, Warren hadn't shared the bed with her. She was getting annoyed by it.

She climbed out of bed and left the bedroom. Warren was stood in the kitchen. "If you're not gonna sleep in bed, then what's the point? I'm sorry I upset you. But I'm not sorry for how I feel. I have a right to feel my emotions."

"You tell me that you don't want our baby. And then you expect me to be all over you? It ain't happening. I want this baby."

Grace rolled her eyes. "You're actually being a little bit of a jerk now. I haven't done anything wrong other than tell you how I'm not ready to be a mum. You're not supportive of what I want. I love you. And I want to make it work. But you can't support me," she said.

Warren scoffed. "I'm not supportive? Thanks. I need to go to the garage. I'll see you later," he said as he turned and walked out the living room.

Grace sat there and sighed. She looked to her phone and text Esmè. She didn't know what else to do.

She felt as though Warren hated her. And she didn't know what more she could do.

Grace met with Esmè. Esmè smiled as she looked to her sister. "What's wrong with you?"'she asked.

Grace wiped away the tears. "I told Warren how I didn't know if I wanted the baby. And now he's being so cold with me. He's not even sleeping in bed. I can't cope Esmè. He's not understanding how I feel," she mumbled.

Esmè pulled her close and sighed. She smiled. "Screw him. You can do so much better than Warren Fox. And you're entitled to have your own feelings about the baby," she said.

Grace was silently crying. Just wanting things to go back to how they used to be.

Grace walked back to the flat. She frowned as she saw Mercedes walking out. "Oh. Grace."

"What are you doing here?" Grace asked as she looked to her. She was shaking.

Mercedes winked. "You take a guess. He can't resist me," she said as she turned and walked off.

But had Warren really slept with Mercedes McQueen? Or was this just a game she was playing?
