Wait. What?

Chapter 17

I woke up and Brooke still asleep. I turn to the clock that was sitting next to my head, and it read 7:48.
Brooke had dark curtains in her room, so it wasn't for me to open my eyes.
After I was done with the bathroom, I went down stares to see Keaton.
But he'd already left. I don't really even remembering saying goodbye.
I arrived in Brookes room, where she was just waking up. "Hey, morning." I said walking to her bed.
"Yeah, you too. What time is it?" She asked rubbing her eyes.
"7:54." I responded.
"Is Keaton still here?" She asked getting up out of bed.
I sighed. "Nope."
She walked over to me, and hugged me. "Oh honey."
I began crying. This time I wasn't holding anything back. I just let everything go. I haven't cried this hard, or much since my parents divorced.
I heard running up the staries. Niall flings the door open, and rushes into her room. "Is everything okay here?" He said bending down to wear I was sitting.
I shook my head. And tried to contain myself.
"Keaton left, without saying goodbye." Brooke said standing up. Niall stood up as well.
"He left just after he put you to sleep." Niall said helping me up.
I whipped my tears from my cheeks. "I just, " I stopped. "I miss him." I said breaking into tears again. Brooke brought me into a hug.
Later that day Brooke and Niall decided to take me to the mall.
"Do you want me to order your food for you, while you sit down for a bit?" Brooke asked me.
I nodded.
Niall was wearing a black wig, with aviators, and the US soccer team jacket.
Brooke came back with my food and her food. "Chinese always puts you in a better mood." She said sitting my food in front of me. I smiled.
"How much was it?" I asked drinking my water.
"$14.77. Why?" She asked getting up to get napkins.
I reached in my back pocket to grab money to give her, when I felt a bigger paper that I hadn't noticed before.
"What is it?" Niall said sitting down next to Brookes seat.
It was a note. I opened it up and it said;
Alexis,
When you get this, that means that I have left. Meeting you was the best thing that has ever happened to me. You make me a better person. Your smile, brightens up the whole room. Seeing you in the hospital in pain, made me feel so bad. I hated that you were in pain, because I knew there wasn't anything I could do to ease the pain. Or make you feel better. I will be continuing my tour with Wes and Drew, next year. I am going to see my parents soon. I can't wait to tell them about you. They would've loved you endlessly. Like I will. I want you to find someone that makes you happy, that treats you the way you decerve to be treated. I will think about you until the day I die. You are too perfect to let go of. I am bad at saying goodbye. That's why I didn't. So I will close this letter with saying a "See you later, friend." I will always love you.
See you later, friend.
Keaton Stromberg.
Brooke came over to my side, to see what I was reading. I didn't know what to say. I was in shock.
"What is it? Who is it from?" Niall asked scooting into Brookes seat.
"Keaton." Brooke whispered to Niall. "Are you okay?" Brooke asked sitting next to me.
I shook my head. "We need to go." I said walking away from the table.
BROOKE POV
Alexis was quiet the whole ride home. I felt really bad for the kid. I could tell Niall felt bad for her too.
We got to my house and she immeditly went to the bathroom. Niall tried going to check on her but she screamed at him to go away.
"Well." He said walking out of the bathroom.
"Just let her get it out." I said grabbing his arm and leading him to my living room.
Niall and I sat on the couch watching Titanic. His arm was around my shoulder, our hands intertwined. "This. This right here is perfect." I sat up and looked at him. "I couldn't ask for anyone else." He said grabbing my chin, then kissing me.
Alexis came out, her face was red, her eyes were swollen, and her hair was out of the cute bun she had. I got up to greet her. "How you doing babe?" I asked.
She sniffled, "I could be better." She said whipping her tears from her cheeks. She walked over to the couch Niall and I were sitting on. She bent down and sat on the ground. I grabbed the blanket Niall and I were using and put it around her sholders.
"Do you need anything? Food, water?" Niall asked getting up.
She nodded. "Do you have Hot Chocolate?" She asked turning to me. I nodded. Niall procedded to the kitchen.
"I'm sorry honey." I said, playing with her hair to calm her down. Niall finally came out of the kitchen with her drink and me a bowl of Ice Cream.
Alexis fell asleep a little bit after she got done with her Hot Chocalate. Niall carried her upstaries.
"Poor thing." He said coming back down. He sat on the couch and immeditaly kissed me. I kissed him back.
I was now under Niall. He took his shirt off, and started kissing my neck. "Niall, babe." I said trying to speak.
"It's not like we're going to have sex." He said looking at me and winking at me. He continued to kiss down my neck, until he reached the top of my breast. He took my shirt off, and I was just in my bra at this moment.
"Niall, I love you so much." I said trying to breathe.
He got up from the couch and took his pants off. He was in his white Calvin Klein boxers. He got back on the couch, but this time I was on top of him. I took my leggings off. We continued kissing, he was rubbing my legs when he touched one of my burn scars.
"Sorry babe." He said backing off.
"I can't feel it, you're fine." I said continuing to kiss him.
We were in the nude by the time my parents came home. I heard moms car door shut. "Damnit, they're home." I said getting off of him. "Go to the bathroom and get dressed. I'll go upstares."
"Brooklynn." Mom said from down stares.
"One second mom, I'm getting into my pajamas." I said yelling down to her.
"It's 4:35. Why are you getting in your pajamas already?" She asked, walking up the staries
I quickly brushed my teeth, and got in my One Direction pajamas.
Mom opened the door, "Where is Niall?" She asked walking in. "Cute, cute." She said studying my outfit.
I hushed her. "Alexis is sleeping. She's had a rough day. She is staying over again. Her parents aren't home yet anyways." I said shooing her out of my room.
I went over to Alexis. "Are you alright?" I asked whispering to her.
"Yeah. I just needed to rest." She said stretching.
A month has passed since that day.
Niall was taking Alexis and I to my ultra sound today.
I haven't seen Alexis since that day. She said that every time she goes over to my house, it gives her immediate flash backs.
"Hey!" I said, as she got in the car.
"Hey! How's it going guys?" She asked buckling herself.
"Great." Niall said speaking for me.
"When did you tell your mom about you being pregnant?" She asked fixing her shirt.
"About that," She looked at me with a worried look. She was about t speak. "I am going to tell her today." I said.
"How in the hell has she not seen your bump?" She asked sitting up.
"I have been doing literally everything to hid it. If she finds out that I am pregnant, she will kill me. And make me get an abortion. But if she sees the baby, she'll let me continue the pregnancy. " I told her.
ALEXIS POV
Three weeks later
I woke up with my phone buzzing on my desk on the other end of my room.
I look at my clock, before I go to retrieve my phone. 3:45 am, the clock read. I sighed.
I looked at my phone and it was Brooke who was calling me.
"Hello?" I asked bairly being able to stand.
"Hey Alexis, it's Niall. Brooke is in labor. Major pain. We're coming to pick you up to take you to the hospitle, be ready so we don't have to wait." Niall hung up the phone.
I quickly changed into my sweats which had my high school logo on it, and my sweatshirt that had the same logo. I went downstairs and waited.
Waiting in the waiting room by myself was pretty awful. I was excited yet nervous.
"Alexis?" Asked a nurse walking into the waiting room with a paper and clipboard.
I shot up and walked over to her. "Yes?"
"Brooklynn would like to see you." She said leading me to see Brooke.
She opened the door, and it was a pretty big sized room. I walked over to Brooke who was holding the baby, and Niall was standing next to her.
I walked over to her. "What sex is it?" I asked.
"It's a girl. Her name is May Ann Horan." She said looking up at me.
I began crying. "That's my middle name." She handed me May.
"We named her after you, because without you. Niall and I wouldn't have ever met." She said beginning to cry.
I sat down, in the chair that was next to Niall. "Hi there May." I said rubbing her face with my finger.
