Derek's POV

I was at Val's apartment and Artem was there as well. Julianne and I's rehearsal got cancelled so I thought I would just go, but Val made me try on his costumes for Dancing with the Stars. I was wearing extremely tight black leather pants and a black men's dance shirt, I showed Val and I wasn't happy.
"Hmmmmmm" Val said, while thinking, Val made a signal for me to turn around.

"Turn around" he said and I did.
"It's just too tight on him" Artem said,
"Yeah, but imagine it on me...tighter!" Val said. I had to interrupt,
"Why am I trying on your costumes?" I asked.
"Ugh! Stop complaining and go get changed" Val said,
"Can I at least have my clothes?!" I asked.

        Val then threw my sweater and jeans on my face as I started to walk to the bathroom, while bumping into things. I happen to hear Val and Artem chatting,
"So, how are things with you and Rumer?" Artem asked.
"Eh, the same" Val responded,
"She calls, I don't answer. She thinks I care about her, really I don't" he continued. WHAT AN ASSHOLE!,
"Wow" Artem said,
"I know, I need some private time with my real baby" Val said.

         I knew he was talking about his golden mirror ball because that's all he ever talks about these days. I continued to listen on Val and Artem's conversation,
"So, are you excited for this season?" Artem asked.
"Eh, as long if they make me the heartthrob" Val responded,
"Yeah, but I think Derek took the 'Heartthrob Title' a long time ago" said Artem.
"Yeah, but have you seen him these days, all warn out and tired. He hasn't won since Fatty McGee Amber Riley" Val said.

          I was furious! Val was just jealous that Amber and I made it to the finals that season and won and he didn't.
"And he didn't even make it to the finals this season" said Artem,
"And that's the nail in Derek's coffin! I give about one more season until his light burns out" Val said.
"He is so pathetic" Artem said, I started to get a lump in my throat.

            Why would people, who I thought were my friends, say that I would burn out or pathetic?! I came out of the bathroom, changed in my regular clothes and Artem and Val looked at me like nothing happened.
"So, Val, when are you heading back to LA?" Artem asked,
"I leave in a week, for rehearsals" Val responded.
"You're going back to LA?" I asked,
"For the show, Dick Head!" Val said.

           "You are coming back to the show, right, Derek?" Artem asked. I completely forgot about the show, how was I supposed to leave Liv?!
"Well, he said his mind changed when I said that he was 'uninteresting'" Val said,
"But, I think he's just a scaredy ca-" I cut Val off before he could finish.
"I'M DOING IT" I confessed, Val and Artem looked at me like a had twenty heads,
"You're what?!" They both asked at the same time.

         "Jinx! You owe me a coke!" Said Artem.
"Shut up, Artem" Val said,
"Yeah, I'm doing the show and I'm gonna win" I said, proudly.
"Man, no one likes a conceded person, Derek" Val said, yet he was the most concerned person on the planet. I left Val's apartment and headed towards the tour bus parked in Manhattan.

           I got there to find Jules and Brooks making out on the couch and I faked gagged. Julianne saw me and stopped kissing Brooks,
"Hey, how was Val's?" She asked,
"The same. He's still a bitch" I said. Julianne laughed,
"Hey, Derek?" Brooks asked.
"You coming back to the show?" He continued,
"You know it" I said.

"Seriously?!" Jules asked.
"Yeah, this season is gonna be great" I said,
"Oh, Derek" Jules said,
"Did you leave your phone here?" She asked.
"Oh, you know, I must've" I said, it wasn't common for me to not bring my phone wherever I go.
"Yeah, it kept going off earlier" Brooks said,
"Really?" I asked.

"Let me check" I said. I found my phone on my bed and brought it back to Jules and Brooks to see what I missed.
"Okay, uhhh" I said, while scrolling through my alerts and messages.
"Mark called, I'll call him back. My package was delivered" I said.

"Oh, Liv texted you" Jules noted. I checked the message to see what Liv said, my eyes bugged out as I froze still.
"What did she say?" Brooks asked, Jules read the message.
"I'm pregnant" she said, WHAT THE FUCK?! How could Liv be pregnant?!

Why was Liv pregnant?! SHE'S SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD!!! I can't believe I actually ruined Liv's life by getting her pregnant. I then fainted and I fell on the floor,
"Derek!" Jules said, that was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.
