Tuesday

*Emma's POV*
I have and will always love him, since the day we met until the day I die. We parted on good terms; that's worse than getting to the point of hating each other, because a part of me will always want him back. But really, what hurts the most is the fact I lost my best friend, my person. All those 'heys' in the corridor that's not us, not the people who once upon a time understood each other more than themselves.
It's hard trying to leave it behind, trying to forget the happiest time of your life, to move on from the past. It's harder when there are constant reminders in front of your face, because he got over me. And the hardest, when there's a part of me which is a part of him.



*Connors POV*
"Alice, I know we just got in, but something's come up - I've got to meet someone, won't be long, I promise."
I leant over the back of the sofa and planted a small kiss on her cheek before heading out the door, as I went to shut it she replied "better be".
I looked down at my phone to reread the text as I walked towards the centre of town. Emma never texted me, well, not since we broke- so it must be pretty important.
As I walked into the door and scanned my eyes around the cafe, I could see her sitting at our table. Everything was just like it used to be, everything except the look in her eyes, the glint that used to be there all the time was gone, replaced with complete sadness.



*Emmas POV*
"What I need more than anything right now, is my best friend back, please"
His hand reached over the table and clasped mine, just like it used to, a long time ago before I got lost in the distance. In the past month he had always looked at me as if I were a stranger, but somehow, in that instant he became the person I feel so deeply in love with.
His simple reply comforted me, "I'm right here."
It was as if the past month or so had never happened, I couldn't break the moment, I didn't want to let go of it. So, instead I sat still, said nothing, gripped on to his hand as tight as I could and let the tears fall from my eyes.

*Connors POV*
I let her cry into me, and she never asked for more. I had led myself to believe I was in love with Alice when the truth was, why would I be here if I was over Emma?
"Connor, I never want to hurt you, I don't ever wanted to ruin your happiness." Connor. She used to call me Con. Such a small thing to signify how things had changed. I Reached over the table and wiped the tears from her cheeks.
"You're with Alice, and that's good, that's great." I could see her breaking inside.
"But there's something, a part of us. And I need you to know."
As soon as she said it, I knew. I knew why she needed to tell me. I knew why she was so confused. I knew why she was broken.
"I want you to keep it, I want you to keep our baby, I want to hold our tiny human in my arms, and most of all I want you, I want a future with you."
And in that moment I saw that glint again, however, small it may be, it was there.
We slowly walked back to her home, where I spent the evening hugging her whilst she finally got some sleep. I was her rock, the one thing that had not moved as her world had fell apart around her. And I fell asleep for the first time in a month not thinking of Alice.

*Alice's POV*

Connor didn't come back. I waited until 10pm for him, polishing off all the Ben and Jerrys, before I walked home, and slunk upstairs to do my homework.
I rang Connor but he didn't answer. I texted him but he didn't reply. Why am I so bothered by this? I ask myself this over and over. Maybe it's because for all the moments we had, there was someone else. The doubt creeps in and I can't escape it.
-
I roll over and groan. My clock says one, shining red in the darkness. I've fallen asleep phone in hand. So cliché. I check my phone. No calls. No texts. I can't help but be disappointed. I put my phone onto charge and fall back to sleep.

Wednesday

*Connor's POV*
I wake up suddenly. Someone is shaking me.
"Wake up!" Theywhisper-yell."It's nearly noon!"
I'm suddenly acutely aware I'm not in my own bed and that this is not my room.
The voice shakes me again, harder this time. "Connor wake up!"
I spring up immediately. I remember. This is Emma's house and I fell asleep holding her.
"S**t" I say. "What did you say the time was?"
"12:45, we must have slept through the alarm. Oh God we've missed nearly all of Wednesday!" She starts to panic, stuffing books into her bag in a rush.
"So there's no point in going in. Calm down its only one day." I'm trying to calm her and me too, though my words are calm I'm freaking out. What will Alice think of me ditching her? What will everyone make of my absence?
Emma slumps against me, tired already.
"It's okay" I tell her.
She smiles faintly before her face screws up and she runs out the room. About a minute later the toilet flushes. When she returns her face is pale and she trembles slightly as she leans against me. I remember that I did this. I caused this pain, I caused her life to fall apart. And I feel so guilty.
"This is how I found out. Y'know. I figured it wasn't any ordinary sickness bug so I took the test. It came back positive."she whispers
"How long have you known?"
"About a fortnight."
"You only told me now."
"I was scared. We had broken up! I couldn't just run back to you like the old days! You had moved on!"she's angry now. Her tear stained face is blotchy and red.
"I'm sorry."
"And I didn't know what to do so i thought I'd tell you. As the father I thought you'd want a say in what happens to your baby."
Father.
My baby.
The words hit me like a punch in the gut.
I'm not ready.
"Emma..."
"NO, don't say it."
"We're too young..."
"Con, I can't." She shakes her head violently. "I'm not giving up our baby!"
"Then why bring me here? Why tell me?" Now I'm angry.
"I thought you'd care!"
"Of course I care! About you! About your future, not the future for a baby whose parents are still in school!"
"So you want to murder an innocent child. A child you want to murder inside of me so you can get on with your perfect little life with Alice!"
Alice.
What was I going to tell her? I'd impregnated my ex-girlfriend?
"I didn't want to be in this situation in the first place! I thought we used protection!"
Emma flushes. "S-sometimes these things d-don't work, y'know"
I groan.

*Alex's POV*

Something is going on with Alice and Connor. The first thing Alice said to me today was 'have you heard from Connor' which she also asked Brad, Katy and Amber at school and texted Tristan and James. No one had heard anything from Connor. He wasn't at school. Alice was totally mopey so after school we stopped off at dominoes to get pizza and ice cream. We offered for Brad to come but I think he was a teensy bit scared of spending hours with 4 girls and no boys so he told us he had homework and left.
Anyway we got the pizza and we were eating it on a bench while Alice moped when Amber said:
"Hey Alice you've got ice cream on your face!"
Alice looked up, her face scrunched up in confusion.
"Where?"
"Right here!" Amber replied and lobbed a chunk of ice cream right into Alice's nose. Alice shrieked and wiped at it with frozen fingers while I laughed and Katy and Amber high fived.
Alice looked right at Amber and dug into her ice cream pot with the plastic spoon, took out a dollop and placed it right in the middle of Amber's forehead. We watched as it trailed down her face, Amber blank but cross eyed as she watched its progress.
"Game on Alice."
And from then on it was a free for all. I think I only managed to eat half my pot of ice cream. The rest is smeared on Katy, Amber and Alice's faces and hair. Its a nightmare to wash out! But we all loved it and were all smiling and laughing as we went our separate ways.
