The plane rides back home to Miami was quite relaxing. I was practically known by everybody because of being seen alongside "the one who shall not be named" on the streets of New York when we took Valentina to the zoo. I was known as "Nick J's Mystery Girl''. I didn't mind though they could say whatever they wanted just as long as they don't call me a slut for when I claimed Nick at the club the other night. I was still immensely beyond upset at the news between Jasmine and him but I'm still standing. I can feel the pain in my stomach growing. Maybe because of the nerves of coming home or the decision of having an abortion towards A.J's baby or was it the baby itself which kind of scared me.

Anyways, as the plane was landing and I was seeing the trees of my hometown I sighed in relief. I enter the Miami International Airport with my crutches, book bag, and belongings in hand and call up an uber as it drives me to my house. I had to tell someone about this. Clearly, they're all going to ask ''what in the world are you doing home?" I could tell them the truth but then I can also lie to them and tell them I'm just visiting. But that'll mean having to continue along with the lie and get a hotel room but that'll cost way too much money.

"Aby!!!" Elsa screams when she sees me getting out of the uber. "Hey Mama, how's everything going?" I ask when we let go of our embrace.

"Good, my dance team got into the Nationals." She exclaims with excitement. I smile and nod while walking and say "That's fantastic baby girl. Why don't I put my stuff down and you can tell me all about it?" I say with a gleam in my eyes. I'll take anything to get my mind off of what happened in New York.

"Okay, how long are you staying?" she asks me with the same enthusiasm.

"I'm moving back home and doing college at FIU since I'm closer to you guys." I say carefully dodging the subject of the "human" inside of me. She nods and screams while running back into the house "GUYS, GUYS, ABY'S HOME!!!" I laugh. Damn that girl for that voice. It's loud sometimes.

Immediately I'm bombarded with questions like "What are you doing home?" and "Are you okay?" and one that occasionally comes often which is "Did your shunts malfunction?" But I know that in order for that to happen I'll have to be puking and sleeping all day to know that type of information.

"I'm fine, I just missed you guys. I wanted to transfer to be close to you guys." Hey, it's a lie, but it's not the whole lie. I really did miss them.

"That's not right though. You just don't come home, something's wrong." Mom insists. The guilt was eating at me... Lying wasn't my biggest forte when I was younger, looks like it's still not.

"Nothing's wrong Mom," I say biting my lip and toying with my hair. That's always been a nervous thing for me. I do it quite often.

"Alright, why don't you go unpack and you can really tell us what's bothering you?" she instigates. I roll my eyes at her as I go to my and Bri's room and unpack my stuff.


"Something's up." I hear someone say as I'm unpacking and realize it's my twin. Nothing gets by her when it comes to me. I sigh knowing I have to tell her, so I tell her to close the door and that I'll tell her now. I honestly missed our secret talks. They were always the perks of living together in the same room, but everything changed I believe freshmen year of High School. Man do I miss those days where we listened and I mean actually listen to each other about our days and stuff. We wouldn't talk to each other all day unless I needed something for that reason. That changed really quickly when she got her iPhone and she had her friends of course. I have my friends too well one mutual at this point and 5 others who I would always hang out with during the mornings. I always made time for Bri because I would never use my phone when it was supposed to be "our special time."

As she closes the door, I prepare to tell her about New York, Nick, and A.J. However I kind of dodge the bullet with the "baby" topic.

"Wow, it looks like you had quite the adventure and Nick and A.J. are jerks sis. Don't listen to them. See this is why I've never liked Nick Jonas he's an ass." She says with an agitated tone. I didn't say anything since I've been loyal to Nick ever since I was 9. In fairness, it's not my place to say so I shrug and just don't say anything else.

After our little talk, of course, before Mom started interrogating me; I had gone onto my personal Twitter where I just could be a normal person for the time being. I had exclusive friends on there in a Direct Messages group who call themselves Nick's Chain Linkers, me being one of them. I start the conversation with my usual "Hey girls, long time no chat." but sadly no one answers. Hey, we're all in different time zones so I wouldn't expect them to answer right away. It isn't long before one of them posts a photo of Nick hanging out with Kate Hudson where the caption reads: "Nick Jonas Leaves Mystery Girl for Hudson." I couldn't believe my eyes. What the hell was this bullshit, and he didn't leave me for Kate he left my so-called "best friend" for Kate. I had nothing to do with it.

My blood begins to boil as I get mad at the media for getting the information wrong. I am mad at Nick for quickly moving from me to Jasmine to now Kate. I am mad at Jasmine not realizing what was going on while Nick Jonas practically raped her. The thought of that happening just makes me sick. I then get really furious when I think that I'm pregnant with another man's baby. I then throw my computer across my room, luckily it didn't break. I just scream and cry out of frustration as my Mom comes in running and asks me "What the hell was that?" She didn't realize that I was crying as I just point to my computer and she says "Don't scare me like that Aby." I just sniff and say "I'm sorry" when she realizes that I need someone to be with right now. She comes and hugs me as I just sob and keep repeating that men are jerks.

"Oh Aby, just look at your father," she says with a smile. My father Jasper isn't bad or anything he's actually a great Dad. I think that's what Mom is actually saying. She wants me to look for someone just as wonderful as my father; but how can I when I'm pregnant with a douche's baby right now?

"I'm pregnant," I tell her out of nowhere while I sob in her arms. She sighs and then looks down at me and says "We'll talk about this when your Dad gets home." She says in a harsh tone. I'm still crying and all she can say is "We'll talk about it when your Dad gets home." Really are you kidding me?

"Are you mad at me Mommy?" I ask when she's leaving the room. She shakes her head and says "No Aby, I'm just very disappointed in you." She looks at me before walking out of my room. Once I heard that I knew it was code for "What do you think Abigail, of course, I'm mad at you", but she for some reason doesn't say it.

When she leaves the room, I go back onto Twitter and go on my personal account. I see all the hateful comments about me with Nick and such comments I don't want to recite at the moment. However, I do interfere with what the fans are saying and tell them that I like the mystery girl. She's nice and all, then someone replies and tells me about the lap dance I gave Nick just a while ago. I say "Well, maybe she just wanted to claim him as her own. It's not a crime." She replies to me and says "Whatever."Before I could answer her back she logged off. I sighed. How the hell will I ever get these "Super Fans" Nick has to like me? Wait, why would I care? I'm mad at the guy. On that note, I heard my Dad's footsteps come into the house as he has just gotten back from work. I hear my Mom tell him that I'm home. I quickly wipe the tears pouring from my eyes and just say "Hi Daddy." He comes into my room and asks me "I haven't seen you since Christmas and all I get is a "Hi Daddy''. ''I missed you Abster come and give me a hug." He says happy to see me.

I do as I'm told and hug my Dad really hoping that he doesn't notice my baby bump... I mean I just only found out, but still to tell my Mom was easy but my Dad would never forgive me. Once I was role-playing with my Geeking "brother" and he got really pissed and only let me use my phone until I left. I mean did I still Roleplay? Yes, but only when he wasn't around. True story so telling him won't be easy at all.

"You alright?" he asked walking out of the room but still having the conversation with me. I answer that I was fine and he just said "Good." After that I just stayed in my room until dinner, hoping I can escape the B word conversation later tonight. During dinner, my Mom and Dad talked about work while Bri, Elsa, and I mostly listened and then whenever we had something to say we'd talk. But for me I just kept quiet for the night as I usually did, hoping they wouldn't ask me about anything in front of my sisters.

That night was the usual as every night was back when I was in High School. "Everyone, do your chores before going to your locations''. I did mine for the night and just prayed that they wouldn't call me into the living room, while Elsa was in their room doing God knows what but they did.

"So Aby, anything you want to tell your Dad?" Mom asked me as if she didn't know about it already...Typical Moms, am I right?

"Well, while in New York I um... did some things that I'm not proud of." I start as my Dad just looked at me with this intense look. I wait for him to ask me what it was. I have a terrible habit of doing that by the way instead of just telling them the whole story. I wait for them to answer for the conversation to continue, so that way I know that they're really paying attention to me.

"Which is?" my Dad asked annoyed by me doing that, that's his problem, not mine.

I don't know whether to rip it off like a Band-Aid and just get it over with or do I rip the Band-Aid little by little as I tell him what's going on? I decided to rip it off slowly as I pause with each word and say... "I... am... pregnant" to him. His face goes from intense to mad to pitiful. A look I wouldn't want anyone especially not my parents to give me when it comes down to shit like this.

"Who's the father?" my father asks me, quite pissed I may add. It's a look I don't like to see on either of my parents.

"I don't know. It could be either this guy A.J, who's my ex-boyfriend from when I was 16; or it could be Nick Jonas the celebrity." Knowing that I am just coming clean about my online lover 3 years ago to the one that didn't know about him. It's pretty weird how the world works. What goes around comes back around right?

As his ears are fuming with steam he looks at my Mom and asks her "And you knew about this "relationship"?" My mom nods and just says "Baby, she's old enough to make her own decisions. I thought that letting her have an online relationship was okay since she had already Skyped with the guy." Mom said to him. Dad pinches the bridge of his nose and says "Alright, we'll figure something out."He sighed out of frustration.

I mumble under my breath "I want to terminate the pregnancy" so they wouldn't hear me, but I guess my Dad did. He was the one to speak up first and say "ABSOLUTELY NOT YOU ARE NOT going to KILL this baby Aby." he says with anger I guess towards me mostly, or maybe towards me and whoever the father is. My mom almost starts to cry and says "That's God's child Abigail, how can you say that?" It was my turn to cry at that point because now that they're saying all of this it's like they're contradicting their feelings towards the whole thing. It was actually surprising how my Dad was the one who heard that first considering he's the deafy of the family.

"Well, I'm not going to keep it if one I don't have your full support. Two I don't even know who the fucking father is. Three I DON'T FUCKING want to get attached to another human being growing inside of me just so I can give it up for adoption only for it to ask about its real parents one day. Then I would have to have a meeting with it and its adoptive parents because that's drama and I don't do drama anymore" I said to them angrily.

They nod and say "You're right. You're an adult now and you shouldn't have to deal with that nonsense." I couldn't believe what I was hearing one minute they're disagreeing with me and now they're agreeing? I'm so confused. Who are these people and what have they done with my parents? I honestly thought my Dad would've at least said something like "Oh, you're the queen of drama so that category fits you" but no I was wrong.

"So, do you have a doctor's appointment already?" my Mom asked me. I honestly thought they were actually robots or something, this was really weird. "Um, Monday why?" I ask her very confused. I didn't want anyone going with me. I mean she can drive me but I don't feel like her going is the best idea. I would rather catch an Uber and drive from here to there and back. That way I'm not nervous or not getting bombarded with so many questions. This is a personal matter after all.

"Just asking." She says as she pulls me away from my own thoughts. I sigh a heavy long sigh. I go back to my room to get some sleep. Tomorrow will be another day filled with drama and what not.

According to myself, I was correct. I had not even fully woken up yet. My phone was blasting with notifications, calls, and texts. I first checked my notifications since they were the ones most bothering me. It wasn't that important though. Then there were texts from Nick, Ashley, Joe, and Jasmine. From Nick, it was just him saying not to believe what the media says. I snorted at that. There were a ton of pics of Nick and Kate together, which just gets my blood boiling. Then he would text 'They're just rumors, you can trust me." Then Ashley's were more casual conversations. Then Joe's were just like "Oh my God, turn on the TV. They're talking about interviewing you" and shit like that I just ignored him.

I texted Nick once and I told him I had to talk to him about this little "love pentagon" he has with these four women. Jasmine could care less but it's still not right. He denied it so if he wants to be an asshole that's totally fine with me. But just so he knows I'm not buying his "Oh, it's just rumors" crap just like I didn't buy the "Oh he didn't know about the promotion crap''; my high school film teacher put the entire class and Cinema Club through at almost the end of my Senior year in High School. See I can handle that, but what I can't handle is Nicholas Jerry Jonas being a big baby and not wanting to meet with me. I rest my case. His Style really does not change... At all.

That Monday, it was the day I was waiting so very anxiously for... Termination Day. I honestly would never think that this is the decision; well one of the decisions I would have to make in a million years. Hey, don't judge. I just don't want complications in the future. This is honestly the best way to go; at least I hope it is.

I call an Uber and tell them where I'm going and ever so kindly pay them the money I owe them. I walk into the doctor office, sign myself in and sit to wait for my name to be called. As I wait, I get a call from Joe and answer.

"Hello," I say with distress.

"Aby?" he asks.

"Joe, what's wrong is Ashley okay?" I ask worriedly.

"Ash is fine. It's Nick, he says he wants to see you," he says with almost a smile in the sound of his voice.

"He does?" I ask probably way too happy.

"Yeah." Joe answers

"That's great," I say when I hear my doctor call me. That's when I told Adam I had to go.

I stand and tell him the reason why I'm here and he asks me "Are you sure you want this?" and I nod. He nods and the procedure begins... "Oh boy, what did I just get myself into?" I think to myself.

After my doctor gives me the medication to stop the pregnancy from progressing, before I go back to the airport I see my timeline filled with pics of Nick and Kate. I just slammed my phone shut and got back to the airport to go back to New York to see what Nick wanted. If he did even want to see me, however this time I did leave my stuff in Miami so I knew I was coming back home.

I got back to New York the next day as I came back to the Julliard University campus and saw Asher and Tae. I ran to them and hugged them both. "Hey girls," I say happily. I was so happy to see them again.

"Hey Aby." they both say. "Are you coming back to Julliard?" They ask me.

"No," I say with sadness. "I'm just here for the day because Nick wants to see me," I say with glee.

"No, he doesn't," Ashley says with sadness and confusion in the tone of her voice. "He told Adam he didn't want to. He says he doesn't want to know anything about you since you don't believe him about the rumors of him and Kate." She says again with sadness. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Then why the hell did Joe lie to me and tell me... I knew it. I knew this was a scam. This is way too much drama for me. Like I said before, I dealt with my Film teacher getting a promotion. See I can handle that, but what I can't handle is Nicholas Jerry Jonas being a big baby and not wanting to meet with me. I rest my case. His Style really does not change... At all. And it looks like it will never change sadly.
