Chapter Sixty-One

(Next update on Monday.!)

The song I dedicate to this chapter is Right There - Ariana Grande

MUST READ: listen guys, After Zayn died Elena slipped into depression which drove her to suicide. Then time reversed itself and brought Elena back to time she first met Calum. She took this as a opportunity to change all the things that went wrong back then. Zayn is alive, Elena is alive and Elizabeth will be back soon.

Elena's POV

We exit the theater, I attempt to grab Calum's hand but he stiffens and pulls his hand from mine to run it through his hair. Weird. I shrug it off, it's probably nothing, just my paranoia.

"Where is it you want to eat?" Calum asks as we pull out of the parking lot. "Apple bees? Red Robins?" He lists of restaurants.

"I really want a burger," I tell him. I've been craving fast food all day.

"McDonalds alright?" Calum chuckles, looking over at me then back to the road.

"Yeah." I smile at him, the rest of the ride is spent in silence. Only the music played throughout the car. It wasn't an awkward silence, it was a comfortable peaceful silence.

"Here you go, babe." Calum says as he places my food down in front of me. We sit in the booth in the far back for a bit more privacy.

"So I've been meaning to ask you," Calum brings up as I bite into my sandwich, I wipe my mouth as I wait for him to finish.

"Yeah?" I urge him to continue.

"After the baby is born, where will we be? Are you still going to love with your mum am I still going to love with mine?" He asks me. I haven't exactly thought about this but I know what it is we will do, we will eventually be living together.

"I was thinking until we got enough money saved up to get our own place that we could just stay with my mum." I tell him.

"What about my mums?" He says leaning back into his seat.

"What about her?" I ask, somewhat confused.

"We can't stay at my mums? Why does it have to be yours?" He says, cocking his eyebrow up.

"I never said we couldn't go to yours it's just a thought." I don't feel like arguing with him.

"I don't care." Calum sighs. Okay.. what is his problem? Why is he acting this way? Everything was perfect.

"What's wrong, Calum?" I grab his hand above the table.

"I-I'm scared... I'm really scared, Elena." He says quietly to me.

"Scared? Of what?" I ask him, rubbing small circles with my thumb on the top of his hand.

"What if I'm a bad dad? What if I can't provide for the baby? I'm in a band, Elena. I-I don't know what else to do." Calum exclaims.

"Don't worry about all this, Calum. You're going to be an amazing dad and don't worry about the providing part. You'll make it.. I promise that." I kiss the back of his hand.

He gives me a weak smile. "Well can make it," I tell him. "It'll be okay." I smile. "I'll always be here for you, I love you."

"I love you." He leans over the table and plants a kiss to my lips.

We finish our food and head out of the restaurant. I hate the fact that Calum feels this way. I know we can make it, we've made it before. We can make it now.

Zayn's POV

"So Ellie's pregnant?" Niall questions, taking a swig from his beer.

"Yeah, she just found out today." I tell him.

"Sorry, mate." Louis says as he pats my back. Sorry?

"Sorry about what?" I ask him, confused.

"Well it's obvious you were in love with the girl." Louis says in a 'duh' tone.

I chuckle, "Elena is like a sister to me. I'm not in love with her."

"Keep telling your self that." Harry smirks, grabbing another beer from the cooler.

"I do not love Elena." I say frustrated. She's my best friend. Nothing more.

"You don't need to get all defensive," Liam chuckles at me.

"I'm not getting defensive, if I wanted Elena I would have had her already. Obviously it would have been easy, I mean look how fast she got pregnant. Elena is my best friend an I love her to death-," The boys smirk at me, "As a friend," I inquire. "But I just couldn't see myself with her." I shrug. Taking a swig from my beer.

"So I'm easy?" I hear a voice say from behind me.

"Fuck," I curse under my breath. I didn't want her to hear that.. I just wanted the guys to think that.

I stand from my seat and turn around quickly to see Elena standing in the back door doorway with tears already in her eyes.

"No, El, I didn't mean it like that,-" I tried to explain myself but failed.

"I know exactly what you meant. I went through hell.. and for what? To be basically called a slut?" She spats. Tears streaming from her eyes.

"You aren't a slut," I take a step toward her but she puts her hand out to stop me.

"Whatever.. happy birthday by the way." She throws a small box towards me and it hits my chest then falls to the ground, I bend down to grab it but when I look up Elena's gone.

I open the box, a silver bracelet with engraved words that said, 'You Make Me Strong.'

..I'm such an idiot.
