Chapter 22- Girl Time

~ Heather's POV ~

I knock on the bathroom door but get no response. I know for sure that El is in there. I try turning the door nob and thanks to my luck, it twists open. I walk in and find El standing in front of the counter, her face pale as if she has seen a ghost.

'El, are you okay?!' I ask rushing over to her side. 'What happened?!'

El just stands there and gulps, pointing to the floor. I give her a confused look but look at the floor to where she is pointing and find three green pregnancy tests with the positive written on them! Oh My God!!! El's pregnant!!!

'I'm pregnant?' El whispers finally looking at me. 'Yes you are.' I reply giving her a moment to let it sink in.

'Louis's going to leave me.' she says, he voice cracking.

'What? El, no he's not going to leave you.' I say softly, knowing exactly what she's thinking. 'Lou isn't like that.'

'What if he doesn't want the baby?' she asks looking me directly in the eyes. 'El, Louis loves kids. Of course he would want the baby, your baby, his baby.'

She stays quiet for a moment before saying, 'What if I'm not a good mum? I'm too young to have my own kids. I don't even know anything related to babies!'

'El, you'll be a great mum and it's okay if you're too young. Louis is great with kids and you always have your mum and us.' I say referring to Em and Soph as well. 'I don't know... I can't tell Louis...' she says looking down at her feet.

'No El, you have to tell Louis, it's his baby as well.'

''I can't...'

'El, you have to. Louis is the father of your baby and he deserves a right to know.' I say seriously. She can't just not tell Lou! El sighs before saying, 'I guess you are right.'

'Great, want to call him now?' I ask smiling. 'No, I want to tell him in person...'

'Okay, then let's get you washed up and take your mind off of this, shall we?' I ask

'Yeah,' she giggles washing her face and we head down to the living room to find Em and Soph sitting on two different sides of the room on their phones. 'Hey girls.' I say sitting down with El. 'Hi.' they both say at the same time without looking away from their phones.

'El wants to tell you both something.' I say giving her a encouraging smile. 'I... I'm... I'm pregnant...' she says looking down at her hands.

'OH MY GOD!' Em and Soph squeal at the same time, getting up and hugging her.

'Congrats!' they say smiling and taking a step back. 'Thanks.' El says softly looking at them and trying really hard to smile.

'How far are you?' Soph asks.

'I don't know...' she replies looking down at the ground.

'She just found out.' I add helping her. It must be hard for her. They nod understandingly and I add, 'Just don't tell Lou, he doesn't know yet.'

'Okay,' they say. 'So, what should we do since we have the whole flat to ourselves?' Em asks.

'Ummmm....let's draw the lads!' I say excitedly. I always liked drawing people, it just interests me and I like to find out how it turns out to be. 'Graet idea! Lets get all the supplies and then we'll start. I'm sure we have some art supplies upstairs.' El says and we all follow her upstairs to get the supplies, grabbing markers, crayons, pencils, paint, color pencils, and a long sheet of drawing paper, heading back down to the living room. We spread out the long piece of paper out on the floor, giving ourselves enough space. 'So, how do we draw them?' Soph asks.
