A Twist Of Magic

Chapter Thirty Seven

As soon as Daniel left the room, I felt guilty. I hadn't meant to snap at him like that, I was just in a panic. He didn't seem to realise the enormity of the situation or maybe he was just excited by the prospect. I couldn't help but wish that I was excited too. My eyes wandered back to the pregnancy test and I frowned when I read it. It said that I was twelve weeks pregnant...I quickly flung the test into the bin and ran over to my bag.

"Hey, are you okay, Daniel said you were upset?" Jack asked as he walked into the room.

"I'm fine." I said quickly as I frantically searched for my diary.

"What are you doing?" he asked, watching me closely.

I ignored him, my hands shaking as I leafed through the pages.

"When was the final show?" I asked nervously.

"About a month ago." he answered.

"Oh thank god." I breathed. A wave of relief suddenly washed over me. I sighed and placed my head in my hands.

"What is it?" he asked.

I remained silent and quickly wiped away the tears that were rolling down my cheeks.

"Amelia?" he said gently.

'The baby is Danny's." I whispered.

"How do you know?" he asked.

"The test says that I'm twelve weeks pregnant and you and I only slept together the night before the last show." I explained.

He fell silent, glancing up at me as I slowly turned to face him.

"Why are you crying?" he asked when he saw my face.

"I'm just so relieved." I admitted.

"Nice." he said sarcastically.

"Would it really have been such a bad thing?" he quickly added.

"Yes of course it would have been." I replied, quickly standing up.

"Where are you going?" he asked as I crossed the room.

"I'm done with this conversation." I said, leaving the room.

"Well I'm not finished!" he snapped.

I rolled my eyes as he followed me down the stairs.

"What else is there to say?" I pointed out.

"You can admit how you feel about me." he stated.

"It's not relevant." I said quietly.

"It is to me." he insisted.

"But it doesn't change anything." I mumbled.

My head snapped around as I saw Merritt, Henley and Daniel walk into the hall, clearly trying to see what all the commotion was about.

"So you do feel something!" he cried.

"I knew it." he whispered.

I glanced nervously at Daniel, who was gazing silently at the floor.

"That explains why you were so relieved, you were worried that your feelings might increase as a result." Jack said thoughtfully.

"That's bullshit." I sighed.

Jack raised his eyebrow at me skeptically.

"Relieved about what?" Daniel piped up.

Jack opened his mouth to speak but I quickly interrupted him:
