Late Night Drives - BWS (completed)

25

The bump has started to grow significantly, I'm trying my best to hide it by wearing very large and oversized hoodies. I'm doing this for Bradley.

Yet another month has passed, and no, the others still don't know. Bradley doesn't know, but I'm terrified. I get tired so easily and feel sick quite a lot, however, I'm still trying to do my job.

The boys have just finished an interview and I don't know if it was just due to the hoodie I'm currently wearing, but it's extremely warm in here.

"Jess, are you okay?" Abbie, Tristans girlfriend asks from beside me.

"Yeah I'm fine" I force a smile.

"You look really pale, come on, we're going to go and get you a glass of water and you can have a lie down in the boys room" Abbie replies as she grabs my arm before dragging me to the boys dressing room, which is currently empty as they've gone outside to meet fans.

"Here" Abbie speaks as she hands me a cup of water.

"Thank you" I smile politely.

"Now, what's up?"

"Nothing!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I just don't feel too great, that's all."

"What's with the baggy clothing?"

"What's with so many questions?" I snap. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you."

"It's okay, but seriously, tell me what's with the baggy hoodies?"

I sigh before replying, "I just feel as if I've put on weight and I'm not happy with my body at the moment, alright?"

"Jess are you joking?" Abbie laughs before she reaches to touch my stomach.

"What the fu-"

"I told you I'd put on weight!" I shout as I stand up, pushing my hair back in frustration and worry.

"Jess. You're lying, that's not fat. That's a bump. You're pregnant!"

"Abbie I, I, I, oh my god"

"Yes she is" Bradley replies as he walks in and takes my hand into his.

"Why haven't you told the others?" Abbie replies.

"They can't know." Bradley replies.

"Are you crazy?" Abbie shouts as she throws her arms up in the air.

"Abbie please" I hopelessly whisper. She sighs in defeat.

"Fine. I'm not lying for ages though. You've got two months before I tell them."

"Thank you Abbie" I smile.

"We need to go and talk" Bradley speaks as he pulls me out the room and down the empty corridor.

"What the fuck Jess? Why'd you tell her?" Bradley hisses as he hits the wall next to where my head is resting.

"I-I didn't mean to, I swear. I told her I didn't feel well and I wasn't happy with my weight and she reached for my stomach, I swear it wasn't intentional" I stutter.

"Why'd you say you weren't happy with your weight? Are you stupid?"

"Bradley. I'm not happy with the bump, I feel ugly. She asked about the baggy clothes, what was I supposed to say?" I reply as tears begin to roll down my face.

"Bloody hell, I love you Jess. But please be more careful, they can't find out, not just yet anyway." Bradley replies as he pulls me into his arms, kissing my temple gently before brushing his hand through my hair, in a comforting manner.

"You two okay?" Connor asks as he approaches us, taking a swig of water as he does so.

"Yeah, I guess we're good" I reply as I give Bradley a smile which he soon returns.

I remove myself from Bradley's arms as Joe approaches us.

"Joe! I need to speak to you about tomorrow. I've got a doctors appointment, will you all be okay without me for the day?" I ask.

"Of course Jess, anything wrong?" Joe replies.

"I, uh I've gotta have blood tests, yeah. I've gotta gave blood tests" I reply with a faint smile.

"I hope it all goes well" Joe replies as he walks away.

"Thanks Joe!" I shout in response as he continues to walk down the hallway.

"Why do you need to go to the doctors tomorrow?" Bradley asks in confusion.

"Scan." I whisper.

"Can I come?" He asks in response.

"How are you gonna get out of the interview?"

"I'll be ill" Bradley replies with a shrug of the shoulders.

"Good luck with that" I chuckle in response as I ruffle Bradley's hair.
