More Than Friends?-Luke brooks fanfic

Chapter 20- An Envelope

I took what seemed to be the longest walk from the hospital before ending up at my house. I had to do this; I had to confront my mum. I know she'll be disappointed but she'll try and support me as much as possible- even if its only emotional support.

I stood where the path begins which leads to my house. Then I stared over to the Brooks' house. All I could picture was Luke when he found out about me and Beau. I was unfaithful to him so I guess I kind of deserve anything he's got planned...I looked down and closed my eyes, refusing to let any more tears fall down my face. Then I slowly headed towards my house. After slotting my keys into the lock, I placed my hand on the door handle, took a deep breath and tried to prepare myself for confronting my mum.

I opened the door and saw her straight away. She was a total mess. Screwed up tissues everywhere from using many boxes and it looked like she hadn't bothered cleaning herself up..Her hair was everywhere and her face was red, like red from crying. She was sitting on the sofa, rocking back and forth with her head in her hands. But as soon as she heard my close the front door, she shot up and without hesitating, gave me the tightest hug possible. It felt so good to be with her again. I know it's only been 2 days but for me, so much has happened since then; and now just being home again makes me feel like I can breathe again.

"Oh my god Kayla where have you been? I've been so worried....."

I started shedding tears like crazy..."Mum I-well...I..."

"Shhh shhh it's ok hunny, you don't have to tell me right now. I'm just glad your home now"

We finally ended our hug and she held my hand and gently squeezed it.

"Mum I'm really tired...Can I please go to my room?"

"Of course you can. But i just need to pop out to the local supermarket to buy a new box of tissues as well as a few other bits and bobs!Would you like me to bring you anything darling?"

"Oh no, that's ok mum- I'm fine"

"Ok then. I love you Kayla. Don't you ever forget how much you mean to me, ok?"

I nodded and replied "yes I know...and I love you too mum- so so much."

She picked up her phone and headed out the door.

I ran upstairs to my room. I emptied the contents of my bag onto my bed. After the pregnancy booklets fell out, I collected them all into a pile and decided to hide them in my draw which had all my bras and pants in it. I shoved the booklets right at the bottom, so that they were hidden. I didn't want anyone to see them.

I dragged my feet back to my bed and threw myself onto it. What was I going to do? How am I going to hide it from people? Especially when I start showing....And I need to tell Beau. But I just don't know when and I don't know how. Then all of those thoughts left my mind when suddenly all I could think about was Luke. Luke I am so sorry. I want to go back in time and just erase everything that has happened. I want to undo all the things I've done to hurt him. I just don't know what to do with my messed up life.

I ended up falling asleep to be woken by my mum who had returned from the shop. She had bought me a glass of orange juice and an envelope.

"Mum what's in the envelope?"

"I don't know? When I got home, it was on the floor so someone had obviously posted it when I was out and you were asleep so I suppose you didn't hear anything?"

"Nope, nothing.."

She left the glass and the envelope on my bedside cabinet, kissed me on the forehead and then left my room, closing the door behind her.

I quickly grabbed the envelope before ripping the top of it open. All that was in it was a small piece of folded paper. I took it out carefully trying not to rip it.

It said:

Kayla,

I'm sorry at how I overreacted when hearing about your pregnancy...I swear I didn't mean to scare you or anything it's just that to hear that you were pregnant s was shocking but then to find out that it was Beau who did this to you, we'll that just made me furious. But he's always been like this so I should've prepared myself for anything.

Anyway, I just want you to know that as long as you're willing to let me, I swear I will do anything it takes to be the person in your life who you can always rely on, someone who will support you and most importantly, someone who loves you. I want to be there with you to bring up this child. I know I'm not the dad but I promise you I will do everything to be that role in your baby's life.

I love you Kayla Ives. Please forgive me?

Luke xxx

Wow.....after everything I've done to him and he's still the person apologising to me...I just want to be in his arms right now. I really do want him to help me bring up this child but what about Beau? Once this kid is born, he won't be able to even look at the baby being in the hands of another man, knowing that he is the baby's real father. The fact that his own brother bringing it up probably just makes it all more awkward...

I have to tell Beau. Somehow....
