Paper Hearts.

Calling Liam.

 So maybe I can't stop writing this....

Cassidy's POv.

“Mom I’m so sorry,” I looked over to my mom who was sitting on the couch with her hands covering her face in stress. The pregnancy test was sitting on the coffee table in front of her with a small blue plus sign. Soon she stood up and looked down at me with her hands on her hips.

“I sent you to London so you could have fun Cassidy, not get pregnant. You’re sixteen!” I couldn’t make eye contact with my mom because I knew I had disappointed her. And I knew when Liam finally texted me back he would hate me. I’m sure he didn’t think I was sixteen because I was in a club. I shouldn’t have drank that night. I wasn’t even that drunk but if Liam Payne asked you to go home with him you probably would.

“Has he talked you?” My mom suddenly asked. I looked down at my phone which was still on my message to Liam. It was sent yesterday and I still hadn’t gotten a reply. I knew the times were different, but by now you would think he would have replied. I looked up to my mom who was waiting and shook my head.

“Call him,” She ordered. I wanted to tell her no, but I couldn’t afford to upset her more so I hit the send button on Liam’s name. Hitting the speaker button so that I could prove to my mom that I was calling him my stomach was in knots. How could I let this happen? I had so much going for me, and I just let everything slip away.

“Hello?” The British accent on the other line scared and excited me at the same time. It made me excited because even if his baby was inside of me I was still a fan. I was honestly proud of myself for not fainting the night I met him. But it scared me because I was pregnant with his baby. This was probably the worst thing that could happen to him at this point. He could order me to get rid of it, or tell me that he didn’t want it. But it scared me because this told me he had seen the text and just didn’t want to respond.

“Hi Liam, it’s Cassidy.” My voice was weak. I didn’t mean to sound so upset but it hadn’t even been a full twenty-four hours since I had found out I was pregnant with Liam Payne’s baby. Now I knew for a fact that he didn’t want the baby, he didn’t want me to have this baby.

“Yeah, we need to talk. But not over the phone. Do you think I could come see you? Like fly out there this weekend and see you? We can figure something out then.” Liam sounded tired, but not the tired that showed he hadn’t slept. Like emotionally tired. He was probably stressed out with the thought of this. I looked up to my mom almost as if asking for permission. She nodded her head still with a scowl on her face.

“Y-yeah we c-can do that,” I felt a tear run down my cheek while I wiped it away. I shouldn’t be crying, but what could I expect out this weekend? Would Liam suddenly want to have this baby? Of course not, he had a life to live. A band to tend too. I couldn’t do this to him.

“Okay, I’ll fly out tonight, so I’ll probably be in tomorrow sometime in the morning.” I couldn’t help but regret telling him. Why had I even told him? Did I do because I wanted him to know? Or just because my mom would have made me tell him anyway. No way I wanted to ruin his life. If he didn’t want to be part of the baby’s life, he wouldn’t have to me. If he wanted me to put it up for adoption I may consider it, but there was no way I would abort my child.

“That sounds good. I’m sorry Liam.” I whispered the last part while watching my mom walk away with the pregnancy test in hand. I turned the speaker off and pressed the phone to my ear waiting for his reply.

“It’s not all your fault Cassidy, look I have to get ready. I’ll see you tomorrow okay?” I tried to blink away the tears that were threatening to fall out of my eyes but that didn’t help. They escaped anyway. So I just told him goodbye the best way I could and hung up the phone.

Standing up from the couch I walked back to my room and laid on my bed staring at the ceiling. My life was about to change completely. Everything was going to flip upside down and I hardly had control over it. As much as I tried to keep my mind away from tomorrow and the next to days, I couldn’t. I was worried what Liam would say to me, the things we would decide. Would he want the baby? Why would he want it though? He had everything he didn’t need a baby to slow him down.

“Cass?” My mom knocked on my door quietly before pushing it open. I furiously whipped my tears not wanting to seem weak. Obviously that was impossible because I was weak. I was sixteen and having a baby. This would ruin my life. My chances of graduating next year were slim, I wouldn’t be able to run track this year. Everything was falling apart before it even began.

“Yes mom?” I sat up in bed and folded my hands in my lap. I still couldn’t make eye contact with my mom but I knew she had calmed down a little bit. She had every right to hate me for this, I was going into my junior year of high school and I was having a baby. I had disappointed my mom and family.

“I made an appointment for Monday okay?” My mom sat down on my bed next to me looking over my face. My hands went to my stomach and I looked to it then to my mom. It was the scariest thought to me, I was having a baby. There was a little baby inside of me. If I didn’t take care of my body, the baby could be hurt. I was responsible for a small child now.

“Mom I’m scared.” I finally said it out loud. She sighed and reached for my hand taking it into hers. I finally made eye contact with her only to see small tears prickling at her orbs. I never wanted my mom to cry, that was probably my worst fear.

“I know baby, I know you are. I’m scared too. And I’m sure that Liam is scared too. But I promise you Cassidy everything will be okay. We’re going to make it through this.” I wanted to believe my mom. I wanted to believe that everything was going to be okay, that Liam and I could make it through this. But how was I supposed to raise a baby with a pop star who lived a cross the world from me who I had a one night stand with.
