Summer Romance

Chapter 29

I didn't say a word during the entire time we were in the air. Neither of us did, Nat knew I needed to be left alone with my thought and that I wasn't in a talking mood, and I was thankful for that.

I had a window seat so all I did was looking outside while listening to my music. I looked at the display when the song switched, and tears started to fill my eyes. Of course, it was Make You Feel My Love and of course it was Aaron's version. I had downloaded his album after we first talked to each other, and I fell in love with it as quickly as I fell in love with him.

I leaned back and looked out of the window at the clouds, trying to make out some weird shapes they formed. I was listening to the rest of his album, and we finally arrived at the Heathrow airport in London. We collected our suitcases and took a cab home.

The next few weeks every day felt like the other, I went to work in the morning, called Aaron during my lunch break and facetimed him when I got home.

It was crazy how much I missed him, so I already started saving money to buy a plane ticket to visit him as soon as possible.

Nat had just opened the door of the apartment when came home from shopping and called for me. "Scar? I bought you chocolate like you asked.", she said and entered the kitchen. "Oh, and ice cream. I'm guessing either PMS or period, huh?", she asked with a smile as she put the groceries away.

I was in the bathroom; I heard her loud and clear but didn't pay attention to a word she said. I was sitting in the bathroom waiting, thinking about Aaron and me.

We loved each other so much; it wasn't even as hard being apart from him as I thought. I knew he was always with me.

I looked at my phone and took a deep breath. I stayed in the bathroom for another minute, then I left it and entered the living room where Nat was chilling on the couch.

"There you are. Did you hear what I said? I bought everything you wanted. So, what is it? PMS or period?", she asked me, not looking up from her phone.

"Neither.", I just whispered.

"Okay, then why the sweet tooth?", she asked smiling, her eyes still stuck on her phone.

I looked at her not saying a word. My silence forced her to look up and when she saw my expression, she put her phone away and got up.

"Hey, Scar, are you okay? Did you see a ghost in the bathroom mirror? Or did you-" She shut up when she looked down at my hands and realized what I was holding. She gasped for air and looked back at me.

"Scar, what the f – "

I looked at her, I needed a moment find the words. Although there were actually only three words I could say, three words that summed up the whole situation.

"I'm pregnant."
