He Broke Me but You Can Save Me (Ashton Irwin fanfic)

Chapter 23

Well I still don't know how the hell I'm gonna tell Ashton. What if he leaves? Shut up Jamie. Don't be ridiculous. Ashton kisses me on the cheek and I turn to him. We've all been watching tv since this morning and we missed lunch. It's hard to concentrate now. I'm gonna have a baby....dammit Jamie you're 17 years old. Ugh!

"What's on your mind? You look like you're spacing out." Ashton says. I grab his hand and guide him to our room. I make him sit down and I sit on his lap.

"Don't freak out. Only Stella knows. Please don't leave me." I say and tears stream down my face. Ashton wraps his arms around me and kisses my neck. He rubs my arms and I look at him with a worried expression.

"What is it, babe?" Ashton asks. I put my hand on my stomach and he looks at it. His facial expression changes into confusion.

"What do you mean, Jamie?" He asks and I start to sob hysterically.

"I might be pregnant." I say and Ashton's face pales. He motions for me to move and he stands up. He paces the floors and grabs his keys, phone, and walks out the door. He didn't say a word or looked back. I cover my face with my hands and sit on the floor. I start crying harder if that was possible.

"Great! Just fucking great! You're going to end up alone, Jamie!" I scream and cry harder. Seconds later, Stella and Michael are picking me up off of the floor. Stella pulls me into the hug and tells Michael to give us a minute. Michael leaves and I start telling her everything.

"I told him I thought I was pregnant, he made me get off of his lap, he paced the floors, and he walked out. He just fucking left!" I screamed the last part.

"Sh, Jamie. It's gonna be ok. It's a lot to process for him. It is hard for you, but he is a guy. They have more trouble interpreting things. He'll be back. I promise." Stella says. Around that time Michael walks back in.

"Jamie, I just called Ashton. He said that he was sorry for leaving the way he did and he'd be back shortly." I stared at Michael and shook my head.

"Nothing will be the same! He'll never love me again!" I screamed and dropped to the floor in tears again.

"Jamie, you're overreacting. Don't think like that." Stella says and picks me back up and makes me sit on the bed. I calm down and cover my face with my hands. I cry silently and I hear the door open. Ashton walks in the room and makes me stand up. He hugs me tightly and rubs my back.

"Jamie, I'm so sorry. I'm gonna help you. I promise. It was just a lot to take in, but when Michael called and made me think about it from your point of view, I felt guilty. I know it's even harder for you than it is me. You actually give birth. I promise, babe. I'm here for you every step of the way." I kiss Ashton's lips like I hadn't seen him in forever.

"Don't you ever do that again, ok? You already promised once you wouldn't do that. Please don't ruin it this time or this needs to stop. There's no reason for you to act like that." I state and Ashton nods.

"I know, babe. I promise this time. I mean it. If I of leave again then you have every right to leave me. Just please let me prove to you now that I'm here to stay." Ash says. I kiss his lips and then we hear Stella talking. We look towards her and she's on the phone.

"My friend needs to get an ultrasound done as soon as possible. She thinks she's pregnant." We all stare at her and wait.

"Jamie Brooks. Hey, Jame, when's your birthday?"

"April 25th, 1997." I say.

"4/25/97." After that Stella walks away with Michael and Ash picks me up bridal style and lays me on the bed. He climbs on top of me and kisses my nose, cheek, and then my lips. Ashton then lays down beside me and wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me closer.
