It's Called Acting(1Dfanfic)

Chapter 19

I woke up to an empty bed, Harry left me a note saying he had to go, because they were recording. Thank goodness it's the weekend. I walked downstairs, to find Abby eating breakfast. "Mornin' Sunshine." She said. "Mornin'" I mumbled. I opened the fridge and peered in, I got the orange juice out and drank it straight out of the bottle. Abby wrinkled her nose. I lifted my eyebrows. "Problem?" She shook her head smiling. I looked down and realized I was in his shirt and my underwear. I shrugged. "My house get over it." She laughed. My phone buzzed.

**Good morning beautiful.**

**now you're smiling**

**we are going swimming later, the boys, you and me. Oh and bring your friend. I love you and I'll see you later when I pick you up.**

**okay. Text me later. And I love you too.**

I was smiling like a fool. One text from him and I love how he knows I would smile. "What are you smiling about?" Abby asked. "Nothin'. Just him being sweet. Oh, by the way we are going swimming later, with the boys." I told her. She nods,"That sounds interesting. But we are hanging out until then." We walked up to my room and I decide to take a shower. I wrap my towel around me and I walked out to find Abby frowning at me with her arms crossed and foot tapping. "What?" I asked her. "You have to stop doing this." She said. "Doing what?" She points to the floor beside my bed. It's the condom that I refused...again, from last night. I frown. "You remember what happened last time, Lydia." She said softly. I looked away from her. I put my red bikini on throwing a pair of shorts and a t-shirt on over it, deciding to just wear it all day. Abby sighs. "I know." I said. She shakes her head. "You're not going through it again. I won't let you. You couldn't deal with it and I couldn't either. I CAN'T see you like that again, Lydia." She said. I nodded sadly. "I know. I'm sorry, it just feels wrong to use those things. But I'll start using them, because I understand where you're coming from." I gave in, because I couldn't do it again. Abby changed into her bikini. "How many new tattoos do you have?" I asked. She showed me one on her back, her leg, and her side. "How many did you get?" I showed her my ear and my back. "I miss your dad, Lyds." I nodded. "I know. You were his favorite. I'm probably gonna get some more tattoos." She grinned. "We can get best friend tattoos!" "And you need to get a grip on reality." I said. "Please?" She begged. "I'll think about it." I muttered. She grinned again. "So. How have you been?" I asked changing the subject. "Lonely, I mean I have Drew but I miss you a lot. I see your paintings when I go in my room and I'm like, Lydia...and Drew really misses you too." She said. "I miss him too." By the time 5 o'clock rolled around Harry texted me that he was outside. "We walked out and he was leaning against the hood of his car. I walked up to him. "Hey babe." I said wrapping my arms around his neck and giving him a kiss. He smiled. "Mmm. I missed you." He whispered. I made a pouty face. "Me too." "Awww, cute. Oh, hey Abby!" He called to her. She waved. "Guess we'd better get in the car." He mumbled. We all climbed in and drove to his flat. All the boys were telling at the TV, some soccer game(or football as they call it) was on. I grinned at Harry, walked over turned it off, still grinning. They all glared at me. "Kevin, no longer likes you!" Louis cried and stuck his tongue out at me. I laughed. "But we're going swimming!" I retorted playfully. "Who's ready?!" I yelled. "Kevin loves you, never mind!" Louis yelled and jumped off the couch. The boys cheered and followed him up the stairs. Abby just laughed. "What?" I asked. She shrugged. "They're just exactly how I imagined them." I smiled and went outside to wait. I pulled off my shorts and shirt and sat on the edge of the pool with my feet in. I put my hair into a bun. The boys came out laughing and shoving each other. I saw Harry, I can't help but stare. His beautifully sculpted torso gives me butterflies. (See what I did there?? Haha) after I was done checking him out I noticed he was doing the same to me. I got up and walked over to him. "Like what you see?" I teased. "I could ask you the same question." I laughed. And he shook his head. "I'm more interested in what I DON'T see." He smiled cheekily. "Hmm. Well I LOVE what I see." He kissed my lips lightly. "Hey! Where's Abby?" Niall asked. "She should be out in a minute." I said. Harry grabbed my hand and pulled me after him. "DOUBLE CANNONBALL!" He screamed. We surfaced and all the boys except Zayn jumped in after us. He sat on the edge. Poor guy. I saw Abby come out. She pulled her hair into a bun. She pulled off her shirt and shorts. It got really quiet all of a sudden. The boys were all gaping at her. Abby started signing to me. We learned how to sign because we talk with our hands a lot. -what are they staring at?- I got out and sat on the edge facing her. -all of your tattoos- she nodded. The boys were now even more confused. We laughed. -they're so confused!- I signed. -I'll give them a show.- she said. She turned around and bent down to pick up her clothes and stretched, her arms above her head. Giving us a view of her Trouble Maker tattoo on her shoulder blades, 'Love me tender' on her left shoulder, and a flowery thigh tattoo on her right thigh, up her right side she has 'treat me like a joke and I'll leave you like it's funny'...plus a whole bunch more. She walked to the diving board and everyone was still gaping. "Are we gonna swim or not?" She went to get on the board, and Niall stopped her. "What's that one?" He asked pointing to her left thigh. "To be continued." She replied easily. I snickered. "What? No hickey there this time? Wow!" "Shut up! We don't talk about it." She jumped in and Niall whispered quickly "I volunteer as tribute!" Harry and Zayn laughed and shoved him. I jumped in next to Harry. We throw Zayn in the pool, in the shallow end and he tried to stay mad but Louis was making faces and he couldn't stay mad. Lois pushed me in and I took Abby with me. Harry got dunked a thousand times and Niall had to get out of the pool cause he was laughing so hard. We all piled into the house to eat and rest for a bit. I didn't feel like putting my clothes back on so I just wrapped a towel around me. Abby was in the kitchen and Niall was looking at all of her tattoos. Then he points to one ok her right hip. It's red so it stands out against the black tattoos. It's red baby footprints and it says 'small bumps' underneath it. "What's this one for?" He asked. "It's for my friend. She lost her baby boy at four months." She avoided eye contact with me. Niall looked really sad. "That's sweet of you to do that for her." He said. "Thanks, Niall." She said an she nodded. The rest of the boys had the same look. She reached over to the bag of chips he was holding ad pulled some out. He just stared at her blankly. We all looked at him shocked. Louis reached over to get some chips too and Niall smacked his hand "NO!" "Touchy, touchy." Louis said. We all stared at the both of them and they shrugged. Niall just smiled at her and we all understood. Little Nialler fell for her. I leaned against the counter beside Harry. He put his arm around my waist.

"So you have friends back home?" Liam asked about and hour later. We were all sitting there in the living room. I was on the floor in Harry's lap. "I have some. But Lydia's really my only true friend. We've been through everything." For the past hour the boys have asked question after question after question and they would ask about friends. She smiled at me. Zayn looked thoughtful. "So, if she's your only friend then..." The boys looked shocked. Uh. Oh. They figured it out. Damn it. Harry made me look at him. He saw it in my eyes. Abby signed to me -I'm so sorry! I didn't mean for them to find out.- -it's ok. I'd have to tell them sooner or later- she nodded. I took in a deep breath. "Yes. The tattoo is for me. She got it for me for my birthday. I got pregnant with Ed's baby. I knew it was a boy and everything and one day we were ice skating and I had been so careful and then I was getting off and someone whizzed by me and so I lost my balance and fell. We went to the doctor the next day and found out that I had a miscarriage. I stayed in my room for a month. Not caring. I didn't feel anything. But they finally coaxed me out of it. And here I am." My voice was cracking the entire time and now the tears flowed freely. Harry pulled me into his arms. I cried into his bare chest it hurt so bad to remember that day. I finally collected myself and turned around to see them looking at me, sad faced. Harry pulled me to another room. "Why didn't you ever tell me?" He asked softly, stroking my cheek. "I dunno. I guess I didn't want to burden you with it." I said. He stopped and looked in my eyes. "You are not a burden. Nothing you have to say is a burden. I will gladly share your burdens with you. I love you." He said. I nodded. "I love you too." He kissed me gently. "Let's go back, huh?" He said. I nodded. They all hugged me and I cuddled with Harry on the couch. We were all sitting there and I thought I heard an engine revving outside but shrugged it off. A few minutes later I heard it again. And again. Then I realized it was the same sound as....I looked up and sat up abruptly. I got this huge grin on my face and looked at Abby hopefully. Harry looked confused. Abby nodded and I squealed and flung the door open running outside. Leaving my towel behind.
