ELIZABETH'S POV

It had been exactly a week since I'd come to Baltimore. Alex hadn't talked to me, or any of the guys except Zack for the entire week.

Zack had been happy I was back but you could tell he was still a little angry. He would always catch the guys up on Alex and it seemed as if everyone knew what was going on but me.

The guys acted happy, like everything wasn't a mess, but I guess for them it wasn't.

I walked downstairs and sat on the couch next to Rian who was drinking Starbucks and texting who I assumed was Cass.

"How are you and Cass?" I asked, trying to make conversation.

"We're great. She's over with Alex and Zack right now." he smiled.

I smiled lightly, "Awesome."

"He said he wants to see you soon. Probably tomorrow." Rian smiled as he took another sip of his drink.

I brightened a little, "That's good, I guess? Who knows he might just-"

"Stop it, listen to everyone when we say he wants to have that baby with you." Rian's voice was stern and I just stayed quiet.

Jack walked in a few minutes later and smiled at me, "Come on Liz! Brighten up! Did Rian tell you the news? Alex wants to see you tomorrow."

I shook my head, "Doesn't mean it will be good." I muttered.

Jack shot me a look but I brushed it off and walked into the kitchen.

ZACK'S POV

"I don't want to sound rude, but why are you going through all this trouble? She walked away and now you're doing all this." I said to Alex.

It wasn't that I hated Liz, but what he was doing, it was pointless. She didn't deserve it. I loved her to death but it seemed like I was the only one with a rational mind here.

Alex groaned, "Yes, she walked away but when she came back she was carrying my child Zack. I love her and I want to be part of that babies life! I just walked away, I didn't even let her explain. Seriously, that was a dick move."

Cass shook her head, "Well I think it's cute how much you love her! Since I met you guys, I knew you two would be together." she smiled brightly.

"Whatever. At least we're finally done. Let's hope she likes it." I said as I plopped down on Alex's couch.

"Wait, you don't think she'll like it?" Alex asked. His expression was nothing but worry and I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alex, she'll love it! I helped you and I'm a girl, I know what I'm doing!" Cass smiled brightly and stood up.

"I have to get going, Rian wants to go on a date tonight. But good luck tomorrow." Alex walked her out and few minutes later rejoined me in the living room.

"I really love her, Zack." his voice was barely audible.

"I know you do, Alex." 

JACK'S POV

Cass walked into the living room and smiled, "You should see it! It's so beautiful! I can't believe he did all that." she gushed.

"Shh, Liz is in the kitchen!" I whisper-yelled.

She nodded her head and a few minutes later Liz walked in. She sat down and started talking to Cass and I heard my phone go off.

A unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's Harley. Is Liz there? She won't anwser my calls and I got your number from the list she left me to keep in touch in case something happened." he rushed out.

"Uh, Harley?" I asked, glancing at Liz.

Liz's head snapped in my direction, "What?"

I handed the phone to her and she grabbed it quickly.

"Yeah sorry I broke my phone a few nights ago....I know but I was careful...Yes they know about the baby...I don't know he won't talk to me....I'm trying to Harley.....Alright I'll call you later bye."

She hung up and handed me my phone back, "I'm sorry, I didn't think he'd actually call."

"It's alright. He's just being a good friend." I smiled.

"Let's go to the mall!" Cass broke the silence with a smile.

"I can't. What if a fan see's me? I have a baby bump and it's getting bigger. I don't want to ruin things already." Liz breathed.

"It's not like you can hide it forever. Plus, regardless it's still Alex's child. People are going to find out sooner or later so let's not act stupid. You need a girls day!" Cass didn't waste time in grabbing Liz's hand and yelling a goodbye as she walked out the door.
