"You need to call Luke."
My eyes crack open at the sound of my father's voice and I lift my head slightly from my pillow. One of the first things I notice is how big of a headache I had and the next thing I notice is my stomach flipping with nerves. I lift my phone to look at the time and when I see that it's just past 9AM I sigh because I only really fell asleep past 5AM. My father however looks terrible. He looks like he hasn't slept all night, in fact I know he hasn't because he's still wearing the clothes he went away in yesterday morning. I notice he is still standing with a blank expression looking at me so I sit up in my bed
"Why do I need to call Luke?" I ask quietly and Dad turns to lean against my door frame with his right shoulder
"Because he's the one who got you into this mess. Unless there's someone else." He doesn't even seem fazed by what he just said. Like it was something normal.
"There's no one else." I answer truthfully and Dad nods, his sleepy eyes looking anywhere but me.
"Call him then. Tell him you have an appointment at 10.30. Tell him to make his own way there and that he better be there if he knows what's good for him."
Dad is about to walk away but I quickly open my mouth to speak
"Wait. Dad. You are coming with me right? I don't want to go in alone." I say in a small voice and Dad turns to look at me
"You wouldn't be alone, Luke would be there."
"Yeah and Stella but I want you to come too. Please? I'm scared." I pout and I can see my father's features soften
"Of course." He says quietly "Would you like some breakfast?"
All colour drains from my face and my stomach flips as I stand up
"Are you going to be sick?" Dad asks as he follows me to the bathroom, when I'm on my knees throwing up I can feel Dad pulling my long hair from my face and rubbing my back like he used to do when I was younger and on a sugar high.
When I'm finished I fall back onto my butt and Dad wraps his arms around me, holding me tight against him.
"It's okay." He says soothingly and I can't help but shake my head
"I think I'm going to skip breakfast and just shower and get ready instead." I say and I feel Dads arms leave me. He stands up and grabs my hand to help me up
"I don't think that's healthy... you know... for the..." He nods at my stomach and things feel a little bit more real but I just give him a hard look and he opens the bathroom door "Okay well, I'll leave you to it. Call Luke first." I nod and exit the room with him.
When I get to my phone I already have a couple of text messages from Stella asking me about what's happening so I reply to her quickly about the time and tell her that she can ride with us. Then I scroll in my phonebook until I get to Luke's name and before I have time to chicken out I press the button and hold the phone to my ear.
There are only a few rings before I hear his voice on the other line
"Aria?" He sounds worried "Did your Dad come home last night? Is everything okay?" He questions and I sigh
"Yeah he did but no, everything isn't okay." I answer and I hear silence so I take it as my cue to go on "Luke... please don't freak out." I start off
"Oh-Okay."
"I think I'm pregnant."
The line goes silent and for a minute I think he has hung up on me but I hear a sniff and him clearing his throat which reassures me that he is still there
