Broken (On Hold)

Chapter 38

~~~Selena's P.O.V~~~

I can't believe it's been a week since I found out that I'm pregnant. I still haven't fully processed it, it's just insane. I'm only 18, I haven't even finished high school and I'm already pregnant. I'm insanely happy that I'm going to be a mum but what will happen once I graduate? Will I have to put away any of my dreams to take care of the baby, will Harry even help at all? Of course he will, he's Harry. There's no way he'll let me take care of the baby all by myself.

"Shit" I curse as I drop my phone onto the floor. I pick it up and sit on my bed.

I hear a knock on my door and I yell, "Come in"

"Hey Sel," Zayn says as he enters my room.

"Hi," I mumble. This is the first time Zayn and I have spoken since last week when he left without an explanation.

I'm sure he doesn't know about the baby news because everyone had agreed to not saying a word about it. The only person that's allowed to tell him about it, is me.

"Look Selena, I'm sorry I walked out like that last week. I didn't mean to it's just I had to do something important and I didn't have time to explain why and what it was," He explains.

"I get that but a little text wouldn't hurt," I say.

"I know and I'm sorry but I'm here now so you can tell me. What was it? What was the big news?" He says.

"Well," I gulp. How do I tell him, he's either going to be happy or mad. I'd prefer the first.

"If this has to do with Harry hurting you in anyway, you know I won't hesitate to beat his ass," He warns.

"No!" I quickly say, "he didn't hurt me, it's just that."

"Then what is it?" He says impatiently.

"I'm pregnant," I blur out.

Zayn sat there with his mouth wide open. I'm not sure whether that should be a good sign or not.

"Zayn?" I say.

"You're what!" He explodes, "When, how, what?"

"I know I know. It's been awhile now, no more than a month or so but I have it under control so please don't make a big deal out of it," I plead.

"You're 18 for God sakes! I bet that prick isn't even going to help you at all," He yells. "He's just going to leave you and never come back."

Well that hurt.

"Zayn calm down! I know I'm young but Harry will help. I had the option of getting an abortion but Harry didn't want me to do it and neither did I," I sigh.

"You know Harry and you know he'd never do anything of that sort so can you please just shut up and take it all in before you blow up and whine about it like a little girl."

His eyes widen with anger but he decides to take deep breaths as he processes it all.

"You're right, I'm sorry," He murmurs. "I just don't want anything bad happening to you and now the baby. I'm just trying to protect you."

"I get that Z, you just have to trust me and accept the fact that you're not going to be there to help me all the time," I say. "You have to let me do me and just see that I don't need your help all the time."

"I'm your big brother, what am I supposed to do? I can't help it. It's an instinct, I have to protect you."

"I know and I'm not saying that you shouldn't, I'm just saying that you should maybe tone it down a bit," I smile.
