Her Song (A Harlena fanfiction)

Chapter 15.

Selena's POV:

There was a moment of silence, as the time was up. I was just checking. I did it all the time. At first I couldn't get myself to look. My period hadn't started like it was supposed to. I was only a day late, but my period was usually very on schedule. 

It was positive. Bloody hell.

I stared down at the test on the counter in shock. I was pregnant.

I sat up, sweating heavily. A dream. It was a dream. Only a dream.

"Love, are you alright?" Harry muttered sleepily, sitting up next to me. "You're drenched...". He moved some hair from my face. "What's wrong?".

"I had a dream..." I replied silently. "That I was pregnant,". His jaw became slack. "I think I should start taking birth control pills,". A bit taken aback, he put around my waist. "Condoms aren't completely sure. They can break, you know.". Harry nodded carefully, pulling me down to lie with him.

Taking me into his arms, he kissed my cheek gently. "Okay then. And hey, we won't need to use a condom anymore. I'm clean and I'm guessing you're clean as well,". I gave him a nod, smiling to him.

When we woke up the next morning in my room, I realised that it was Monday, a school day. Thankfully I discovered that I was off my period. We got dressed and I got my makeup on, and then we went upstairs. David was eating his cereal, grinning at us, while he said good morning. I made some toast for Harry and I, looking over to my boyfriend and my brother.

"Her name's Charlotte, but I call her Charlie," David bragged to Harry. “I really like her, and I think she might like me,”. The toaster made a loud noise, signalling it was done. “I’m going to ask her if she wants to be my girlfriend.”.

“There’s this girl too,” Harry spoke, kink to his lips. “Her name’s Selena, but I call her Selly,”. I couldn’t help but giggle. “I really like her, and I think she might just like me too,”. He smirked widely. “But luckily, she’s already my girlfriend.”. I carried our breakfast out to him, slapping him on the arm. We sat down and ate, then rushed out to his car.

During the first break, in our usual spot in the ladies room, the girls and I discussed my dream.

"But it was only a dream," Maddie assured me. “Selena, it was only a dream, you know that.”. 

I nodded silently. "Yeah, but that's not what I'm worried about. What if I get pregnant? I am not in any way ready to have a kid! So that's why I'm going to start using birth control pills. I just need to talk to my mum first,".

"The pill is definitely the best choice," Hannah added with a small smile. "You're safest. But you do need the condom, you know, if you don't want to get any STD's.".

"I'm clean, Harry's clean," I explained. "So it's fine. But I’ve never tried it before.”.

“It’s quite nice actually,” Colleen joined in, and for a moment I was shocked. “What? Just because I was the last to lose my virginity doesn’t mean I’m innocent!”. We all laughed a little, hearing the bell ring. 

Going down the hallways, people greeted me with a huge smile, and I smiled right back at them. I rushed to the classroom, arriving just in time. My mood had changed drastically. I suddenly felt very cheery, and I fell into a daydream, not thinking about the math that my teacher was trying to explain, instead thinking of my wonderful boyfriend, his wonderful laugh, his wonderful laugh, his wonderful lips, his wonderful body and-

"Ms. Gomez, are you paying attention?" Mr. Travis questioned harshly. "Because it sure doesn't look like it.".

My cheeks flushed. "Sorry, sir, I was just daydreaming. I'll start listening now,". He nodded with a warning glare. I started to take notes and found myself doodling on the paper. Math was one of those classes where I couldn't draw in my sketchbook. It was always something that needed attention, and there I was. I was doodling. It wasn't anything really, just... doodles.
