Saving His Rep

I love you!

The noise of my phone ringing woke me up from my sleep. As soon as I opened my eyes they began to burn. I looked down at my phone, momentarily blinded by the light, before answering it.

“Hello.” I said in a hoarse voice. Ugh. I can’t believe I sound so horrible. Well it seems fit seeing to the fact that I have been crying nonstop for the past 3 days.

“Hey Athena. How are you?” Mike asked calmly through the phone.

“How do you think I am?” I croaked while sitting up.

“It’s going to be alright Athena. We’re going to work everything out. It’s going to be fine and everything is going to go back to normal!” Mike said surely.

“What if it already has?” I asked dully.

“What do you mean by that?” Mike asked confused.

“What if everything is already back to normal? I mean I hated him to begin with and I hate him now. So isn’t everything normal again?” I asked sitting up.

“Athena, you don’t really want this!” Mike said sadly.

“Maybe I do! Maybe it will make everything so much easier.” I said glumly into the phone.

“If that’s what you want to believe. Anyways, can you come by the studio in about half an hour?” He asked changing the subject.

“Sure. I have nothing better to do with my day. I was planning on using it to bulge on Ice cream and re-watch all the Walking Dead.” I said before rolling out of bed.

“Great. See you soon. Bye!” He said happily into the phone.

“Bye!” I said before hanging up the phone. I hopped in the shower before getting out and raiding my closet for something to wear. I settled on a pair of dark skinny jeans and a muscle tee with roses on the front. I flat ironed out my hair before putting on a light amount of make-up. Although I did have to do some serious work on my eyes, since I’ve been crying for a couple of days. I grabbed my phone and my bag before heading down stairs. I walked into my kitchen to get my car keys. The drive to the studio was a little bit longer than normal because I took the route with the Starbucks. What can I say? A girl needs her coffee. I also bought a muffin because I was starving. I pulled up in the back parking lot of the studio. I didn’t really want to face my fans. Even though I’ve been MIA for the past 3, going on 4, days. I know they are really starting to get worried, but I really just need some time alone. I couldn’t stop thinking about Liam. My thoughts have been centered on him and I hate that! It really fucking sucks being heartbroken. I let him in, gave him a second chance and he went and got a girl pregnant. I know. I’m jumping to conclusions. Maybe that child isn’t his. Maybe the mother is crazy. Who really cares? What I care about is that baby. That baby is going to grow up wondering who his or her real father is. That baby might not have a male influence in their life. That’s horrible. That’s what happens when you have sex. You have to think of the possibility of getting pregnant. Um. I had sex. I’m not pregnant. Well, I don’t think I am. I mean we did use a condom, but what if it broke. He didn’t check to see if it was broken. There’s no way I could pregnant. I have thrown up like 4 times. No, I can’t be pregnant. I’m not pregnant. There’s no way. Maybe I should take a pregnancy test. No, Athena, stop overacting. You are not having a baby right now! Besides I can’t take a test anyways, it’s too early! Just calm down. All this pregnancy talk and paternity mess is getting you worked up over nothing. Stop freaking yourself out! I mentally yelled at myself before walking into the room. My eyes immediately found Liam. His eyes soon locked onto mine devouring them into their depths. They lit up, with a slight sparkle that came every time he saw me. I struggled to break the eye contact, but finally did before taking a seat.

“Well, we um got the paternity test results back.” Josh said holding an envelope.

“So soon?” I asked quietly.

“Yea, we told them it was for Liam Avery and they said they’d have it done as soon as possible. So, here we are.” Mike said before adding a shrug.

“Get on with it.” Liam spoke up.

“You’re not the father of that baby.” Josh said before handing Liam the envelope.

“I’m not the father.” Liam said reading the contents of the folder.

“Ok. That’s great! So, can I go now?” I asked while getting up.

“Um, yea. I guess.” Mike replied looking up at me. I smiled before grabbing my bag and heading out the door. I made it halfway down the hallway before hearing my name getting called.

“Athena!” Liam yelled from behind me.

“What?” I asked spinning around.

“I love you!” He said rushed.

“Shut up!” I said tears flowing down my face.

“No, seriously. I love you! I’ve always loved you. I’ve loved you from the moment you ran into me on the first day of high school and I’ve loved you every day since. I love you Athena Rose Winters I really do.” He said coming closer to me.

“Damnit Liam!” I said pushing him.

“What?” He asked looking down at me.

“You make it so hard for me to not love you.” I said angrily.

“We really suck at not loving each other.” He said smiling down at me.

“We do. And I love you too, ever since I bumped into you on the first day of school.” I said with a beaming smile.

“I’m glad to her because I can’t bear not spending the rest of my life with you. I love you so much Athena.” He said leaning his forehead against mine.

“I love you too Liam.” I replied smiling.

And that's it. They love each other. Weeeeee. As I said before there is not going to be a sequel. Sorry. I still love you guys, A lot!!! So I really hope you enjoyed the story becaue I enjoyed writing it!
