Scandalous

Chapter Forty-One

OMG NEW MUSIC FROM ED ON FRIDAY!!!!!!!!! (Look at that scar though)

Mullen pov

Three months. It's been three months since Ed left on tour. I was almost four months pregnant, starting to show. I was sitting at home, taking my online classes for graduate school, I was so close to finishing. I had about 9 months left.

I talked to Ed last night and he had told me he could come home in about a week. To say I was excited was an understatement. Even though he'd have to leave again soon for the European leg of the tour.

I looked up at the clock it was passed midnight, I decided to call it a night and head up to bed.

I woke up to the blinding sun. Fuck early morning sun. I got up and made my way to the kitchen to make some coffee. I turned on the tv to watch what ever the hell was on this morning, and thank god I did. Ed's face was on it. I set my cup on the table and turned the volume up, it was on some kind of celebrity news channel.

I furrowed my eyebrows as he came onto the camera, he didn't tell me he was doing this. He looked really nervous too, he took a deep breath. "So, Ed there have been reports that you have a girlfriend-" the interview person said, well yeah there were, he's 'with Kara' I thought to myself "-that's not Kara" there is is. He raised his eyebrows. "Oh god Ed think about this" I said out loud, to myself.

"Uh, yeah. I heard those" he said "what do you have to say about them?" The woman asked "well, uh. It's true." He said, my breath caught in my throat "oh no, what the hell did you just do?" I asked him through the tv. "Whoa what?" The interviewer asked "Kara and I aren't really together, our management is kind of making us" he said awkwardly. The woman holding the microphone looked shocked "what?" She asked again "it's like a publicity thing" he said, I was sitting there with my eyes wide, as shocked as everyone else. "So do you have a real girlfriend?" The woman asked, he nodded "I'm not going to give any details about her because she doesn't even know I'm doing this" he said, I sighed in relief, I wasn't ready for all the publicity I would get for this yet.

I'm sure that will come as soon as they see us together now though. Every girl he's seen with will be considered his girlfriend until they actually know who it is. I'm relieved that he did that though, it's like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders, we were free.

I turned the tv off, having seen enough. I decided to call Harry, since I figure Ed's still busy.

He answered after three rings

"Did you see?!" He asked right away.

"Yeah...how did you?" I asked

"Um, I watched the news thingy" he said.

"Oh, well yeah, I saw" I smiled.

"Well obviously. Are you happy, have you talked to him?" He asked

"No, I haven't talked to him yet, and yes. I'm happy, relieved" I said, sighing.

"Yeah, I'm sure. How are you feeling?" He asked

"Good, I haven't thrown up in a week, so that's good" I said, he laughed.

"Yeah, that's always good" he said.

"Yeah, it is. Well, I better go, when are you coming home?" I asked.

"Couple weeks. I'll come see you, talk to you later" Harry said.

"Yeah, bye Haz" I said, hanging up.

I set my phone down, wondering when Ed would call, hopefully soon.
