Back Where I Belong

Chapter 33

Zoey's pov

"Oh Zoey! Look who's here!" Ashton yells from downstairs, almost right after I climbed back through my window.

"Coming!" I yell back, hastily kicking off my shoes. The boys can't know that I left the house. I don't know how they'd respond. I jog to my door and unlock it, then go out to the hallway, towards the staircase.

"My babies!" I cry, rushing over towards Luke, who was holding Ashes and Percy in his arms. I grab my pets out of his arms, nuzzliny my face into their soft fur as they lick my face.

"When did they get back?" I ask, smiling as they kiss my face.

"A few minutes ago. Michael went to the airport to pick them up. Ben flew them back, since they were in London with him while we were in Australia. We called up to see if you wanted to go, but you were asleep," Calum explains.

Yeah, I think, asleep. Not at my boyfriend's house, even though it's completely illegal.

"We know that you've been having a hard time with your pregnancy, then being forced to break up with Peyton and date Travis, so, we figured Percy and Ashes will help cheer you up," Michael tells me, smiling. I force a smile onto my lips. They were being so nice and I was an asshole, lying to them.

"By the way, your phone was ringing earlier. In case you didn't see," Luke says, plopping down on the couch. I couldn't have taken my phone earlier. I don't know if it has a tracking device on it or not. I can't risk Jenn tracking my through my phone.

"I didn't. I'll go check it now. Thank you guys so much for everything," I say, giving each of my brothers a tight hug.

"No problem, Zoey," Ashton says, showing off his dimples.

"You can repay my by naming the baby Michael Gordon the second," Michael jokes. I roll my eyes at him.

"You would only name him the second, if you were the father," Luke points out.

Michael lets out and exasperated sigh and rolls his eyes, "Shut up, Luke." I laugh, then turn on my heel and go back up to my room.

"Zoey Noel Irwin! First, you get pregnant. Then you break-up with Peyton and start to date Travis Young. Then, you don't tell me or answer my call?" Charlotte yells at me.

"I'm sorry, Char," I say, smiling apologetically.

She narrows her eyes, "Are you really pregnant?" I nod and hold up four fingers. My best friend squeals in delight.

"I'm so excited! I hope it's a girl! I'm gonna teach her to be a bad ass like her Aunt Charlotte. And, I'm sorry about your break up with Peyton by the way," she says, her excitement dying off.

"Did it cause any problems between you and Jace?" I ask, helping Percy and Ashes up onto my bed. They immediately snuggle on top of my pillow.

Charlotte shakes her head no, "Actually, we're both pissed at Peyton. I mean who gets a girl pregnant, then leaves her. It's disgusting. I honestly thought that Peyton was better that, but I guess I was wrong..."

I zone out whole listening to her talk as anger overtakes me. Charlotte and Jace are both mad at Peyton. Which means Jenn manged to not only break up mine and Peyton's relationship, but Jace and Peyton's friendship, which they've had since birth. She was going to pay for that.
