The Troubled Twin (Book One of The Twin Series) (EDITING IN PROGRESS)

Chapter 23

We had just got to Wolverhampton. We decided to tell my parents first so Liam and Natalie could go home a few days later. We had a taxi to take us to the house so we could surprise them. We had just gotten to the house I grew up in. Liam and I looked at each other then he knocked on the door.

"Just a minute!" I heard the voice of my mom call from inside. She then ran to the door and pulled it open, "He- OH MY GOSH! WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE? GET IN HERE!" Mum yelled and pulled us inside. Natalie and Zayn followed in behind us, "Zayn? What are you doing here? And who is this young lady?" She asked.

"How about we go sit down?" Liam suggested. Mum nodded and pulled us to the living room and sat down on the couch.

"Now, why are you here? Tell me what's been going on? Are you two finally getting along?" She rapidly asked.

"Well, first off I wanna say, yes we are getting along again." I said.

"Well, that's good. What was this about you being in the hospital young lady and why didn't you call me Liam James Payne?"

"I was going for a run one night and ran to the wrong part of town. Liam didn't want to worry you." I lied.

"Oh, ok, now who is this lady and why is Zayn here?"

"Mum, this is my girlfriend Natalie. I met her in New York." Liam said, holding her hand.

"And Zayn's here because we are kinda dating. Is Dad here?" I asked.

"No honey, he's at work, he'll be back any minute." She said.

"Oh, alright, um can you call Ruth and Nicola to come from Uni?" I asked.

"Well, I guess, what's going on?"

"I don't want to say anything yet." I said quickly.

"Oh God, are you pregnant?"

"W-what made you say that?" I asked. She was about to answer but the sound of the door opening.

"Honey, I'm home!" Dad said and it rang through the house.

"In the living room, we have some guests." She said back. A minute later Dad walked into the living room.

"Liam, Megan, and Zayn?" He said and looked at Zayn weird. Liam and I quickly stood up and gave Dad a hug.

"Hi Daddy," Liam said. He always had a habit of calling our father 'daddy'. I did too but I didn't call him that around other people.

"Hey Dad," I said into his chest. He had both Liam and I in a hug but pushed us both back and looked at us weird.

"What are you two doing here? And why do you have Zayn and some random girl?" He asked us.

"Dad, this is my girlfriend Natalie." Liam said and walked over and sat next to her. I sat close to Zayn.

"And I'm dating Zayn." I said and grabbed a hold of his hand. Daddy still looked at Liam and I weird. After a few minutes his face changed and he shrugged then sat down beside Mum.

"Now why are you here? Not to be rude but I mean I didn't expect you coming." He said.

"We just wanted to visit." Liam said quickly then looked at me.

"Oh that's great. So how is everything? Are you friends again? And what happened with this stabbing a few months ago?" He asked really fast.

"Everything is great. We are friends again. And we didn't want to tell you about me getting stabbed because we didn't want to panic you." I answered. He nodded and we talked some more. I don't know how long we were there but eventually both Ruth and Nicola walked through the door.

"WHERE ARE YOU LITTLE BROTHER AND SISTER?" They both yelled. Liam and I looked at each other and laughed. They ran into the living room and we went through the same interrogation that both Mum and Dad had put us through. They both sat down beside Mum and Dad. Liam excused himself and Natalie to get something to eat.

"So, why did Liam leave you alone with us?" Mum asked, probably already knowing why.

"Well, um, ya see, about a month ago we went out and we had a bit to drink," I said and Mum then put her head in her hands, "We woke up the next morning and were in the nude." I said.

"Did you two-," Ruth asked and trailed off. We both nodded.

"Did you two-," Mum started to asked and trailed off. We all knew she was going to ask a different question.

"Apparently not because I'm pregnant." I finally said. Ruth and Nicola looked somewhat happy. Mum looked kinda upset and Dad just looked pissed then upset.

"I thought thing were going to be different when we sent you to Liam's." He sighed.

"Dad, it's not like we did it on purpose." I sighed.

"I don't care, things were supposed to be different." He insisted.

"Well, you know what, they are different. Yes, I was drunk and so was Zayn. But at least he didn't fucking rape me." I said and stormed up to my bedroom. I just laid there staring at the ceiling not really paying attention to what was going on around me. I heard the door open and I felt the bed drip down. I already knew who it was. Zayn pulled me close to his body and turned me so I was facing him. All he did was place a soft kiss on my lips and start playing with my hair. After a while he hummed the tune to Little Things. I closed my eyes and listened to him and the sound of his heartbeat.

"I love you," I heard before drifting off to sleep.
