[Since some people were confused, I'll explain the ending of the last chapter. Audrey got on an aeroplane back to Doncaster where she would stay with Jay, Lottie, Fizzie, Daisy, & Phoebe. No one knows she left or where she went.]

Louis' POV

When we got back from the concert, I was expecting to come home to my girlfriend, but instead I came back to an empty hotel room. I checked the bedroom and all her things were gone. It felt like a knife to my heart. Just when I thought everything was going great, she left me all alone.

Audrey's POV

"This will be your room, Audrey," Jay said whilst gesturing to the inside of a bedroom in front of us.

I walked in, but quickly turned round to catch Jay's attention before she walked away.

"Jay, could I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure!"

She sat on the edge of the side of the bed, patting a spot next to her for me to sit. Just for precaution, I closed the bedroom door.

"It's really important..."

"You didn't cheat on him did you?"

"Oh god no. I would never do that. He's... He's amazing. I couldn't ask for anything better."

"So, then why did you have me pick you up from the airport?"

"Promise you won't tell anyone... Or freak out...?"

"I'll try."

"Okay... I left because I.... Because... Because I'm pregnant..."

"Oh goodness, that's wonderful, congratulations! But why did you come back here if you know it's his?"

"I... I'm scared..." She placed her hand on mine comfortingly, trying to help encourage me to speak. "I just... I... I don't want to lose him again." By this point tears were sliding down my cheeks. It was true; my biggest fear was that Louis would leave me. Annabelle would be devastated and so would I. Everything in my life would just fall apart if I lost him.

"Oh, honey, he's not going to go anywhere. I know my boy, and I know he's very smitten with you. Even more than he was with Eleanor, and I didn't think that was possible," she cooed, trying to erase my fears.

Her arms wrapped around me in a warm, loving hug. Not having my own mum anymore made me easily grow close to Jay; she was all I really had that was like a mother figure.

"I think you should call him. They have a break for this week and I know he wanted to spend it with you. He told me all about it actually."

"B-b-but...isn't he going to hate me for leaving?"

"No, honey. Louis could never hate you. You need to call him, though. The sooner, the better."

Jay patted my back one last time before leaving me beside myself to think about things. Annabelle was asleep, thank the heavens, otherwise we wouldn't have had that discussion. She was right, though, I need to call Louis. I dug my phone out of my bag and dialled his number. My hands shook as I held the phone. How do I say this?

"Audrey? Where the hell are you?"

"I'm in Doncaster..."

"...what?"

"Look, Louis, there's something I need to tell you-"

"Why'd you leave? I want to know that first."

"It's... Could you maybe get a flight here tomorrow or something? I don't want to say it over the phone..."

There was a bit of a silence on the other end before anything else was said.

"I'll be there at four thirty."

"As in, in seven hours?"

"Yeah. I gotta go, see you then."

"...bye."

He sounded so out of it and like he didn't really care. Maybe he didn't. Maybe I really did ruin everything. Or maybe my hormones are just out of whack because of the pregnancy. I'm going to hope for the best and go for the last one.

*********

Four thirty came so slowly that it was painful. Even though we'd only been apart for less than a day I missed him. I missed his touch, his familiar smell, his laugh, his jokes; I missed everything about him that quickly.

When a knock sounded on the front door, I gathered my thoughts, sorting them as I went to the door. As soon as I let Louis in and he closed the door, I engulfed him into a hug. I felt so bad for leaving and had not the slightest clue what to do about it. We sat on the sofa and I took a deep breath.

"Louis...I-I....I'm pregnant."

His eyes grew wide and I wasn't sure if it was because of happiness or fearfulness. Soon I found out when he found his words to speak.

"Do you know how far along?"

"I think about three months."

"So it's safe to have sex still right?"

"Louis! We're at your mum's house!"

"My flat isn't that far."

"But wait... You're not going to leave me are you?"

"Audrey, I wouldn't ever do that. I love you."

My mouth went dry. The only person whose ever said those words to me was family and they're all gone except for Josh. This moment in itself was so sentimental for me.

"I love you too."
