The Never Ending Lie

The Only Question I Have (Chapter 1)

Maisie's POV- November.27

I jumped off the two steps and landed on a pile of freshly fallen snow. I turned left and started walking towards downtown. That's where I was meeting my best friend Alex and our fiances Harry Styles and Niall Horan. We were meeting at Starbucks because Alex and I both have huge news. Were both pregnant. I never thought that this was going to happen, we didn't plan it at all but I am still happy and I hope Harry is too.

(flashback from earlier that week)

Alex : oh my god Maisie, I can't believe this is happening

Maisie: What

Alex: I think I'm pregnant.

Maisie: Umm what? Are you joking because you did this last year too. I hope you aren't joking because I took you so seriously last year when you told me. I was so mad when you told me you were joking and now if your joking again I'm going to be so angry.

Alex: Come with me to the store right now, I missed my period and I've never missed one in my life. Wait.....Maisie.....aren't you supposed to be on yours too?

Maisie: Yeah, just let my go to the bathroom and we can go to the grocery store and we can come back here and we can sort this all out. Everything will be fine Alex.

Alex: Okay. I'll meet you in the car.

POV- I ran towards the bathroom in our apartment that we share. I shut the door behind me and realized quickly that I missed my period too. How could I be pregnant too. I have been as careful as possible and I told Harry that I didn't want a baby until we were married but I guess he put that thought out the window very quickly. I started to pace around the bathroom. I opened the door again with water forming behind my eyes. I felt like I had been hit by a bullet and I wouldn't be able to recover. I walked to the front door and grabbed my purse and my phone and stepped outside and ran towards my Black 2015 Chevrolet Equinox. Alex was sitting in the passenger seat staring down at her phone and she looked really scared. She looked up and I smiled at her and she smiled nervously back.

We drove to the drug store without saying a word to each other. It was a 10 minute drive and traffic in L.A can be pretty bad at times. When we arrived we both got out of the car and walked to the baby aisle. She grabbed 4 tests and I grabbed 4 aswell. We payed and got back into my car and started to drive home. We just talked about how we were feeling and about what was going to happen if we were both expecting at the same time.

I stepped out of the car and unlocked the door to our apartment and walked in quietly with Alex following me. We then both sat at our kitchen table and she was the first one to speak. 

Alex: Do you want us to take turns going to the bathroom and checking or do you want us to go at the same time and then we can express our results at the same time.

Maisie: ummm maybe take turns because I feel like that would be less emotion.

Alex: Okay, do you want to go and check first?

Maisie: Yeah sure I guess.

POV: I grabbed my grocery bag from under the table and walked quietly to the bathroom. I closed and locked the door slowly and took all four tests out of the bag. I read the instructions and followed what they said. I placed all of the tests on the counter and grabbed my phone out of my pocket. I sat on the toilet seat and put a timer on for two minutes. It seemed like it was taking forever but then finally the timer went off. The song night changes was ringing in my ear until I pressed stop. I lifted over one of the tests and saw that it said negative. I then slowly flipped over the other three and I was very suprised at what they said. Two lines on all three tests. I was for sure pregnant. 

I put the caps on all four of them and walked down the hall and turned to see Alex anxiously waiting for me. She looked hopeful. I put the four tests into my pocked and said 

Maisie: "You're turn"

Alex: "Okay:

I saw her grab her bag from beside her and she turned the corner and I could hear her footsteps echoing down the hall. I heard the bathroom door close and lock.

Five minutes passed and I heard the door open. Her footsteps loudly thumped across the hard wood floors. She came back and I could already predict what her tests said. The look on her face told the whole truth without even saying a word to me.

She slumped down in her seat across from me and flipped over her four tests on the table. All positive. I felt hopeful but not for long. I got mine out of my pocket and showed them to her. I smiled to show her that she wasn't alone in this battle. 

I gently got up from my chair and walked over to her. I hugged her slowly and tightly and she hugged back. She then said something I didn't think she was going to say.

Alex: I guess our babies are going to be best friends

I laughed and smiled. I let go of her and we walked over to our couch. Now it was time to make a plan on how to tell Harry and Niall.

We spent the rest of the day making a plan. We would tell them in a week after we went to out first ultrasounds together. I would've wanted Harry to come with me but I didn't want anything to happen to the baby before I made sure he/she was okay.
