The New Girl

Chapter 55 - The truth comes out.

Harry Styles.

As we made our way back to my car, what Carter had told them was affecting both Louis and Aurora and that terrified me. Neither of them would speak or even look at me and the silence was suffocating. Not knowing what the hell the person I care most about and my best friend are thinking caused this uneasy feeling in my chest.

I released Aurora's hand and made my way to open the passenger door for her. Before I could even get the door open, Aurora had already seated herself in the back seat meaning this was not going to end well for me.

She slammed the door shut, leaving Louis and me alone. "Did he do anything to hurt her? What's wrong with her?"

Louis shook his head "No, pal, you don't get to play innocent here. What was Carter talking about back there?!" He snapped, his cold, hard glare making me uncomfortable.

I sighed, "Louis, he has no idea what he's talking about-"

"Well, you better explain that to her, because she's the one that's going to struggle with it!" He snapped, before turning his back on me.

"At least let me take you home, Lou!" I called out, as he began to walk away.

He shook his head but refused to look at me, "You have a lot of explaining to do, so you better start now. You've hurt her enough as it is."

I shook my head and ran a hand through my hair "It's not like I intended to! This is something I'm still trying to figure out!" I snapped, feeling the stress I've been trying so hard to conceal make its way to my head.

I shook my head and made my way to the driver's seat, "Aurora, I know you're confused and hurt-"

"So that's why you haven't left her, you lied to me!" She shouted.

I turned back to look at the one person that's been keeping me sane for these past few days and noticed just how hurt she was. Her beautiful eyes that shined in the moonlight were watery and growing red as she continued to cry. The lips I was so used to seeing in the form of a smile quivered, letting me know she was doing her best to hold everything in. A few tears could be seen rolling down her cheeks, only making my heart ache even more.

I shook my head, "I didn't lie to you, Aurora. I just didn't tell you everything." I sighed before I began driving towards her house.

The car ride was quiet, a sniffle could be heard every now and then.

I had no idea how I was going to fix our relationship, especially now that she knows about Daisy. There is no way in telling that baby is mine until it's actually born, but there's still a possibility that it really is my child. Aurora won't be able to cope with that and, frankly, neither will I.

This baby is going to make things between Aurora and I even harder. If this baby really is mine, I fear there will be nothing for me to fix between Aurora and I. I don't blame this baby, not even a little, I blame myself.

I should've been more careful, I should've made sure this was avoided. There's no way I'm prepared for any of this. Anyone can tell, just by looking at me, that I am not and probably never will be father material. I'm not patient or prepared for a child right now. There's no way I'd be able to be there for it and raise it to be a good person. Hell, I'm not even a good person. I'm a mess, who just keeps making things worst as the days go by. I keep hurting the people I care about by just being myself, which is a constant cycle. How could a screw up like me raise a child?

I shook my head and I parked the car in front of Aurora's house. As much as I wanted to explain everything, I had to make sure she was willing to hear me out. I waited for her to either say something or get off. I didn't want to her to leave after all this, but I didn't want to get into an argument with her either. I'm afraid neither of us could handle the things that could possibly come out of both our mouths.
