Back Where I Belong

Chapter 25

Zoey's pov

"Zoey! It's so nice to see you again!" Liz exclaims, pulling me into a hug.

"Hi Liz," I say, hugging her back. She smiles warmly, then lets go of me so that she can hug Luke.

"Hey Zoey! How's life been?" Jack Hemmings questions, pulling me into a hug. 

"Alright," I reply, "a little frustrating at times, but I'll get over it."

"I'm glad to hear that," he says with his thick Australian accent.

"Where's Ben?" I ask.

"He's on a trip to I don't know where. I think he went to London," he tells me.

"Cool," I reply, kind of zoned out. I was already missing Peyton.

"Why again are we watching E! News again? Last time you watched it, it didn't go so well," Luke reminds me.

"Because there's literally nothing else on TV," I complain, turning the volume up a few numbers. He rolls his eyes, but stops talking.

"One Direction's Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles were spotted hanging out together yesterday morning. Could they possibly be working on new One Direction music?" The reporter asks dramatically.

"More like Larry," I mumble under my breath.

Luke turns to face me, "What did you say? I didn't hear you." I shake my head, dismissing the topic.

"Moving over to Australia now, the popular band, 5 Seconds of Summer, and their little sister, Zoey Irwin, are rumored to be visiting the country right now. Probably getting some family time in while they're on break.

"But let's talk about Zoey for a minute. At only seventeen, she's already working on her first album. Now I know that's not super young or anything, but apparently, she's only signed with Hi or Hey Records for that one album. Travis Young fans can look forward to Zoey's duet with him. A representative from Hi or Hey has already confirmed the partnership." I groan, pissed off. Jenn just had to open her big mouth.

"And our last story for today is also about young Miss Irwin. Apparently at the airport, she was wearing a bit of a revealing shirt. As in, revealing her stomach. Some say that she looks to be pregnant and rocking a small baby bump. While it is not confirmed by her, the lads of 5 Seconds of Summer, or any other representatives, we are all hoping for a Zeyton baby. I'm Justin Lar and thank you for watching E! News!" The reporter, Justin says, winking to the camera. Then the show goes to commercial break.

Luke breaks out into laughter, "That was the funniest thing I've ever heard!"

"What was?" I ask, shocked that I was already being found out.

"Them thinking you're pregnant," Michael answers from behind me. I turn around, surprised to see Ashton, Calum, and Michael all standing there. I don't reply.

"That is funny, right?" Ashton asks, his face getting serious. Luke's laughter dies off. He turns to look at me too.

"Zoey," Calum starts.

I swallow hard, "Guys, there's something that I need to tell you."
