How Did We Get Here // Luke Hemmings & Zayn Malik

Chapter 46: What If

During Calculus class, Sharron wouldn't even acknowledge my existence. Usually since their break, she would occasionally say hi or talk a few things with me but now she won't even look at me. I'm not sure why she's acting like this.

After the bell rang, she got her stuff and rushed out. I did the same and followed her "Sharron! Share! Wait up!" I grab her arm and stop her. She turns around swiftly and looks at me annoyingly "What!" I was taken aback "What the hell?" she scoffs "You! What the hell! You didn't defend me on Saturday Em's! You just stood quiet and let him talk to me that way!" I frown "Sharron! I'm sorry but what was I supposed to do?" she scoffs "Defend me! You know god damn well that I didn't take her away!" I move a strand of hair behind my ear "Sharron! It was nobody's fault. I didn't say anything because no one was at fault." She grins "I knew it." I frown "knew what?" she smirks with frustration "Right after we declared we were taking a break you sided with him. Just because you knew him longer, you always take his side of things. He was at fault Emma! Lux came to me and he didn't notice!" I sigh "He didn't notice Sharron because he was telling me that he saw Josh. He was stuck between telling Gemma and with Lux disappearing like that, he just kinda lost it. I'm not justifying his behavior but you know what happened after Josh left. Remember all those days and nights. And both of you are my best friends Share. You can't expect me to choose sides. Besides you were the one who stopped talking to me. I never did, and just because I talk to Harry more doesn't mean anything. It only means that he didn't stop talking to Me." she sighs "I'm sorry Em's it's..." I cut her off. These two guys past us walking with egg on their plates. I got really disgusted and suddenly I wanted to throw up. I cover my mouth and feel the vomit force itself up. I ran to the girl's restroom down the hall. I slammed the stall open and let the vomit come out. My entire throat was burning. Sharron was just right behind me, grabbing my hair and massaging my back.

When I finished I sat on the floor, looking up at her. She asked "Did you eat something bad?" I sigh "This morning I ate a squishy apple and for dinner Wilbert brought Chinese food." She sighs "It could be that the Chinese food got you sick." I wipe my hair out of my face "Yeah but when I smelled eggs I just couldn't take it. I felt nauseous." She frowns "Yeah I smelt it too. Not very pleasant smell." Then two girls enter the restroom "Mason let me have a pad, I think I just got it."

Suddenly I remembered I haven't gotten my period. It's been two weeks since. All my senses dropped to my feet, my heart stopped beating and pulse rate dropped. I grab Sharron's hand, pulling her down to me harshly, whispering "I haven't gotten my period Sharron!"

She looks at me shocked. She picks me up and we go looking for Harry. I didn't want to think it but it could be a possibility. I mean we were safe, we were absolutely safe. It couldn't happen. My mom could be right; it could be the stress and stuff. Then we see Harry talking to Niall. Sharron runs to them, grabbing both of them and running back to me.

We ditch school and got into Harry's car and drove to the park. We didn't get off; instead we rolled down the windows and stayed quiet. Niall and Harry were in the front, not saying a word; they just looked at the birds and tree. Sharron sighs "Emma." I didn't turn to her. I bit on my sweater and rested my face on the door. Then Harry angrily turned around to me "Emma!" I closed my eyes, sighing "It's a possibility Harry." Niall asks "Did you guys use one?" by then I start crying "Of course we did Niall. I'm not stupid." Harry interrogates me "did you check it after? Did you check to see if it tore?" I wipe the tears from my cheeks "I didn't think I'd have to!" he scoffs "Oh so you are stupid. You can never be too safe! You should have checked! It could have torn and I would have bought you the after pill Emma!" I sob, raising my voice "You don't think I know that! I'm not stupid Harry! I'm not! I ... I can't... No!" Sharron sighs "Harry calm down, she's under a lot of pressure. She may not even be pregnant." Niall questions "How long have you've been off?" I sob "A month and... and two weeks." I hear Harry scoff. I raise my voice "But my mom told me that last week that my body is under a lot of stress and I'm adjusting to the time here." Niall turns around to me "were you ever late over there in London? I'm pretty sure the same characteristics happened over there." I bend my head and shake no.
