*Kate's POV*

I open the front door to find Astrid looking at me with asking eyes, begging for an explanation.
"Celine is upstairs." I say and she nods. We start walking to the stairs when she suddenly stops walking out of the blue.
"Did you spoke to Liam? He was looking for you."
"He was looking for me? I searched everywhere."
"He's at home and he's managing to call you."
"Oh." He is? Wouldn't say that, my phone didn't ring since Celine's call this morning. But at least I know he's save now, he's home.

She starts stalking upstairs and I takes me a few seconds to catch up on her. We enter my purple bedroom to find Celine sitting on the edge of my bed, a purple pillow on her lap.
Her brown hair into a ponytail, the way I like it the most, and the white in her eyes is red of crying. I desperately tried to calm her down before Astrid arrived and I think I did a good job.

She stands up, the test in her hands.
I can see the confusion in Astrid's eyes if she sees the white material in her friend's hands.
"W-what's that?" She asks, pointing to the pregnancy-test in Cel's hands.
"Listen, Kate and I just found out I'm pregnant and I wanted to tell you."
Astrid takes a few seconds to understand what Celine just told her before she starts smiling.
"That's amazing!" She yells and claps her hands before pulling me and Celine into a group-hug.
Wow. We totally stressed for no reason. Astrid is taking this very well.

"So you're not angry with me?" Celine asks the question that's bothering both of us.
"No of course not why would I?"
Astrid is over-understanding and it's getting a bit creepy.
"So you don't want her to let them take it away?" I ask.
"No absolutely not!" She squeals and hits my arm. Okaaaay.
"Does Niall already know?"
I see Celine gulping so I clear my throat so Astrid's attention would be on me. "No, he doesn't know, yet. We don't really know how to tell him and how he'll react." I say' trying to safe Celine. I still can't believe it's his child. Something I hate about myself is that I always picture things like this, what I better wouldn't.

"I-I don't really know how he'll react." Astrid admits. We nod and I look at Celine who's staring at the floor.

"We can't throw that into the trashcan." I point to the pregnancy-test. If my mother finds it she will go insane.
"Yea, but where do we drop it?"
"I can take it with me on my way home and throw it away in town."
Astrid proposes and Celine nods. "Okay perfect."
"When are you telling Niall?" Astrid asks Celine.
"Tomorrow." She says and Astrid nods in disbelieve while rolling her eyes dramatically. We know Celine well enough to know that tomorrow she will have another excuse.
"Don't wait with it too long Cel." She says and I nod. "Tomorrow I'm coming with you and you're going to tell him." Celine sighs and nods.
"Okay okay." She sighs again. I feel bad for her. If I was her I wouldn't be able to be this strong.

"I think I'm leaving, Kate thanks for all your help." Celine says and pulls me into a hug. "Where are you going?" I ask and she sigh, again.
"Going to tell my parents."
"So.. You're keeping it?" I ask.
"Of course, it's my child." She states and I nod, I would do the same. I wouldn't be able to kill my own baby.
"That's great." I smile and she gives me a weak one back.

"I think I'll better be going too, to throw this away." Astrid says and puts the pregnancy-test into her handbag.
I give Celine an encouraging wink and they leave the house.

I check my phone, still no message from Liam.
Trying to call me? Yeah right.


*Astrid's POV*

"Bye girl, good luck!" I say and pull Celine into a last hug before she steps on the bus to her parents.
"She's so brave." I whisper to myself. So now the only thing I have to do is go into the center and throw the test away without someone catching me. Because that would be pretty embarrassing.
