Bad Blood

Madison's pov

The movie ended and Ashton and I had barely talked. I just wasnt feeling it. I felt so out of it.

"Im not mad at you." I mumbled as Ashton fiddled with his phone at a stop light.

"What?" He quickly locked his phone and continued driving.

"I saw you texting Luke earlier, i'm not mad at you." He pulled up to my house.

"Then whats wrong?" He asked shutting off his engine.

"Im not sure." I could tell he was frustated but i honestly didnt know.

"Maybe you're just tired?" He smiled. Im glad he isnt trying to start a fight.

"Maybe." I smiled back.

"Go get some sleep princess." He kissed me gently. "I love you."

"To the moon and back." I continued kissing him before getting out of the car. I went up to my room and layed on my bed. Ok so lets recap, cravings, moodswings, missed period. All signs of pregnancy. 5 days ago Ashton and i had Birthday sex. I wasnt on the pill but we used a condom.

"Condoms can break Lex." My mind repeated. No no no. This cant be happening. Did Ashton or I check the condom? No i was too fucking wasted and Ash never checks. No no no. I immediately burst into tears. What do i do? Call Lex! I picked up my phone and quickly pressed her contact info hitting call. Why was i waisting time. The phone rang and she finally answered.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Yes bitch?" Luke yelled behind her. I tried to laugh but i was shaking.

"Lex," i whimpered. "How far are you?" I was trying not to break down again.

"We just stopped at Mcdonalds, are you ok?" I heard Luke stop laughing, she put me on speaker.

"No, somethings wrong and i really." I broke, im sure she could barely understand me.

"Did something happen with Ashton?"

"No, i just really need you and Lucifer i know you're listening so i swear to God if you say anything ill cut your balls off understood?" I yelled through my tears.

"Damn," he whispered. "Ok."

"Ill be there soon Mads." Lexa said comfortingly before she hung up. I grabbed my pillow and began to cry. Im literally 8 months away from gradutation. This is so bad. How am i going to tell everyone? I was panicking. Lexa soon came to my door with a knock.

"Hey Mads." She smiled and i attempted one back. "I brought food." She handed me a small bag.

"Thanks." I took the bag and pulled out the fries. We sat in silence.

"So what's wrong?" She asked muching in her chicken nuggets.

"Do you still have that second pregnancy test?" I barely whispered.

"What?" She asked suprised.

"Lex, i think im pregnant." I began tearing up.

"How?"

"Cravings, moodswings, missed period, i have it all Lex and im so scared." I cried and she pulled me into her arm.

"Have you told Ash?" She asked.

"If i had i wouldnt have yelled at Luke, but i think he knows." I sighed.

"Well the one i have is pretty old so we should probably get some new ones." She smiled sympathetically and i nodded in agreeance. "Lets go, we'll take my car." She held out her hand for me to grab. We got in the car and began driving.

"So hows your day been?" I asked.

"Nice." She smiled.

"What happened?" I smiled along. My best friends joy was contagious.

"Luke talked about pur future and how he'd love me when i was fat and preg..." she stopped. Obviously remembering why we're in the car.

"That's cute," i smiled. "I just hope Ashton feels the same." I sniffled.

"Hey, he will." She promised. "He and Luke are too similar, and he'll realiae this is just as much his problem as yours." We pulled up to the 24 hour convienent store.

"Can you run in?" I asked. "If i go they'll see my puffy eyes and know im the pregnant one." I smirked and she nodded. After about 5 minutes she came out.

"I bought 3 different brands, just in case." She giggled.

"Im pretty sure i am though." I sighed.

"Well then i'll be Aunty Lexa." She scrunched her nose in a smile. Making me laugh. "It'll be ok Madison." She looked at me deeply. "Everyone loves you too much to leave you."

"Thanks Lex." I smiled brimmimg these tears, not sure if they were happy or scared.

"Lets go." She said clicking her seatbelt. We finally got home and i walked upstairs to the bathroom, which was occupied. I sat in the hallway fiddling with my phone pondering if i should call Ash. He texted me 5 times asking if i was ok but i dont want to scare him. Finally the door opened.

"Why are you on the floor?" Michael jumped.

"Waiting for you." I gtabbed the bag standing up.

"Whats in the bag?" He asked curiously.

"Tampons." I quickly replied.

"Yeah right." He scoffed. "You have a full box under the sink, i know because Alyssa used one, then she went home. Now i'm going to ask again, what's in the bag?" He eyed me darkly.

"Nothing." I tried not to cry.

"Madison Michelle, i swear to Go-"

"NOTHING MICHAEL!" I yelled. "Now move so i can pee." I pushed him out of the way and slammed the door. I took the test and they all came out the same. Posotive. Damn it now here come the problems. I wrapped up the tests and tucked the boxes towards the bottom of the trash. When i left the bathroom Michael was waiting for me.

"Madison?" He asked sympathetically.

"Not right now." I sighed. I walked into my room and sat next to Lexa.

"So?" She asked and nodded my head unable to stop my quivering lip. She hugged me tight and i leaned into her shoulder sobbing quietly for fear of Michael hearing. "You need to tell Ash." She half whispered.

"I know." I said pulling out my phone.

"You're doing it over text?!" Her eyes widened.

"No," i sniffed. "Im telling him to come over." I finished my text and set down my phone. "I think you should go." I sighed. "I dont want you to be here the day he breaks my heart." I smirk and she nodded.

"Im right across the street love." She kissed my cheek and left. I changed into a loose t-shirt, Ashtons t-shirt, and some shorts. then went to the bathroom. I looked like a train wreck. I wiped off my makeup and put my hair in a bun. I'd be presentable if my eyes werent blood shot and my cheeks stained with tears. I slipped on some socks and went outside to sit on my porch. It was kind of chilly so i grabbed the hoodie next to the door. Ashton showed up a few minutes later.

"Hey Love." He called from the car. The porch light wasnt on but it was a bright night so he saw me sitting in the shadows. "Are you ok?" He asked when he reached me. He pulled out his phone and shined the dim light on my face. "Have you been crying?"

"There's something i need to tell you." I fiddled with my sleeves. Tears pricked his eyes.

"Are you breaking up with me?" His voice cracked.

"No, no, baby, no." I threw my arms around his neck. I didnt know guys got emotional about this kind of stuff. "But it might be worse than that." We were still hugging.

"What could be worse than you breaking up with me?" He stroked my hair.

"You breaking up with me." I sighed and he pulled back to look at me.

"What are you-"

"Ash," i stated. "Im pregnant."
