The New Girl

Chapter 24 - A talk with the mates.

Harry Styles.

As soon as I entered our usual bar, I noticed my best mates sitting in our usual booth, near the back. The sight of them made my stomach queasy and my heart beat a bit faster than usual.

I was actually pretty nervous to talk about what happened last night, especially since I still find it hard to believe it happened. I have no idea what the boys are going to say or if they'll even believe what happened was true and that somewhat frightens me.

"What was so urgent that I had to cancel plans with Sabrina, Mr. Styles?" Liam sighed, a teasing smile appearing on his face.

As much as I wanted to feel bad about Liam canceling plans with Sabrina, I couldn't. I'm actually glad he showed up, since he's been wrapped around Sabrina's little finger for a while now. He's my voice of reason, so I really needed him here.

I slid into the booth and sighed, "Before I explain, I want you guys to take this seriously. I'm not making this up, this actually happe-"

"Oh my god, you're going to be a father?!" Niall cut me off.

Louis stood up and pointed at Liam, "I fucking called it! Pay up, Liam!" He shouted.

I know they were only joking, but I couldn't help but feel annoyed at the fact that they made a bet about something like that. Even so, I couldn't care enough to call them out. I had more important things to worry about.

"I am not going to be a father!" I growled, still feeling a little hurt they thought so low of me.

I had a few close calls here and there, but, thankfully, I have not had the luxury of becoming a father. You would think I'd learn to quit doing what I do after those scares, but it doesn't really make me stop.

Pull it together, Styles, you came here to talk.

I'm not one to talk about my feelings or what I'm thinking. It's not that I don't want to, I just don't... it's how I am and always will be. But, for some reason, I can't shake this off. I need to talk about it with someone and the boys were the closest thing I've got.

I took a deep breath and let it out, "This was during the three days Aurora and I hadn't been talking. She decided on going to Luke's party on Wednesday and ended up getting drunk. She-"

"Wait, you went to Luke's party?" Liam interrupted.

Niall cocked a brow, "Wow, that's a shocker." He added.

The boys know how I feel about Luke, they know I can't stand that little prick and it's not just because of Aurora. There's more to the story on why I dislike him so much, but that's not important right now. Right now, I have to focus on telling the boys what happened and hopefully getting advice from them.

I shook my head, "No, I didn't go to Luke's party. Aurora is the one that went. The reason I know she got drunk is because she called me while she was drunk, her words were barely understandable." I explained.

Niall cocked a brow, "Wow. Out of all the people she could've called, including her friends back home, she called you. That's... interesting."

I can't believe how stupid I am. I had completely forgotten Aurora could've easily called one of the boys she dated, from Texas. She could've called them, Sabrina or any of the boys, things just got a lot more confusing and a lot more interesting, for both the boys and myself.

Louis sipped some beer from his bottle and turned to face me, "True, but I still don't see the big problem here. Is Jones not allowed to have fun?"

"No, that's not the problem. My problem started after I picked her up."

I didn't know why this was so hard to tell the boys, it's not like I had a reason to hide it. We didn't really do anything, all we did was kiss. Even with kissing, I stopped it before it could turn into something more... heated.
