Louis POV

It's been a month since I found out this thing was inside me. I pulled my duvet tighter around me as I pondered everything that was happening to me. My life was going to hell. I'm going to be stuck with a bloody baby in seven months.

I glanced at my clock. It was only eight and I decided I wanted some chocolate. I climbed out of my bed and grabbed my jacket off my bedpost. I slipped on my Vans before quietly exiting my dorm.

I slowly walked up and down the aisles of the corner store, going though the seemingly endless supply of candy they had. I hummed to myself as I tried to push all my problems away. Even for just two seconds.

I grabbed a couple chocolate bars and tossed them in my cart. I took a few step backwards.

"Whoa,"

I spun around to face the stranger I had bumped into, "Sorry."

Embarrassed, I began walking in the opposite direction. I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"I know you." Said the Irish bloke with blonde hair. "You're the bloke who came to my party with Harry, yeah?."

I took a shaky breath and gave the guy a half smile, sort of muttering, "Unfortunately so,"

"You might not remember me, but the name's Niall. Niall Horan. Nice to see ya again," He reached out to shake my hand and we shook. Suddenly his expression turned sort of serious and Niall stepped closer to me, "I don't mean to pry but what happened between you two? You seemed fine then 'bout a month later I see him storming around going on about how he ruined your life."

"Does he now?" I felt somewhat satisfied about Harry.

"All the time. He's like a completely different person, I've never seen him so heartbroken. Which is weird, considering how big of an asshat he is. I don't know what he did but maybe you ought to talk to him." Niall shrugged.

"He's put me in a bit of a situation, if you must. I don't think I'll be making contact with him for a long while." I think I came across more harsh than intended seeing Niall shrink back a little.

"Right, sorry, mate... I'll slap him round for ya." Niall nodded at me.

"Bye then," I refused to meet his eyes. I watched Niall leave the aisle and round the corner. Everything he said weighed heavily on my mind. The last thing I need right now more things on my mind. I sighed heavily then begin to make my way to check out.

I walked back into mine and Zayn's dorm with my bag full of chocolate bars and candy. I needed to relax and clear my mind. They say stress isn't good for my condition. I shuffled past the small kitchen and saw Liam rummaging around,

"Hey, Liam," I mumbled.

"Hey, Lou." Liam nodded to me in greeting.

I continued to drag my feet as I trekked on to my room. I saw Zayn's door slightly ajar. I knocked before pushing the door open to reveal Zayn sitting on his bed texting. He looked up from his phone screen at me.

"What's up?"

"Everything." I groaned, "My life has gone to shit because of that douche bag and a one night stand." My voice cracked near the end of my sentence and tears I didn't even know I was keeping in began to leak out the corners of my eyes, "I just don't know what I'm gonna do, Zayn!"

I put my face in my hands, "I saw Niall, the guy whose party we went to that night. He told me Harry was all upset. Does he even have the right? He doesn't know the half of what he did to me, he has no fucking right!"

Zayn, being the fantastic friend he is, just listened to me vent. He pulled me into a hug while I began to cry again, "I'm only nineteen! My first year at university! And now I'm pregnant with a fucking baby and I just don't know!" I let the sobs wrack my body. I didn't understand where all this emotion was coming from. I let Zayn hold me as I cried.

We sat like that for a while before I calmed down enough to breathe. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hands. Zayn took me by the shoulders, "You're gonna be okay. We'll get through this together one day at a time. I'm right here if you need anything, Mum's a three
hour drive away, and the doctors a ten minute drive."

"Thanks, Zayn." I said as I slid off the side of his bed and made to leave. I was shutting the door and stepped out into the hallway only to be face to face with Liam who had a shocked expression on his face. His eyes flickered down to my stomach and back to my face a few times.

"Did you hear any of that?" I asked already knowing the answer.

"Uh, well, you wern't exactly quiet." Liam replied awkwardly, "So, uh, you're... pregnant?"

I crossed my arms over my chest, feeling a bit defensive, "Yeah, problem?"

"No! No, no, no," He said quickly, "Not at all. Just, ah, a bit surprising, you know?"

"I guess." I grumbled.

"Alright, then. Hey, It's probably hard for you right now, I can tell. Just stay strong, yeah?" Liam patted my back gently and brushed past me into his boyfriends room.

I went to bed that night with bit less of a burden on my heart.

I hugged my books to my chest as I headed to my next class. Even though he did as I asked and left me alone, I would still see Harry around just as always. He'd be at a nearby table while I ate lunch. We'd catch each others eyes a few times but that would be it. He'd hang around that big tree near the lecture hall where my psychology class was. The same tree he asked me out by. Sometimes I'd see him at the café when I went to to study. He kept his distance but I could tell he wanted to talk. I wasn't ready for that, though. I was still angry at him for everything he did. And it was one of those days where he was hanging around when. He tried to approach me again. I was eating lunch at the usual table I sat at.

"Um, excuse me." A deep raspy voice came from behind me. I clenched my jaw and nothing else.

"Louis."

I refused to turn around and continued to chew the last bites of my salad.

"Louis, please."

I put my trash on my tray and stood up, "Gimme one second just; one second to talk."

I crossed the courtyard to find a trash bin. I shook the junk off my tray and placed the it on top, "Please,"

I turned and there he was. I put my hands up to stop myself from running into him and froze for a when they landed on his chest. My gaze fell upon his green eyes looking intently down at my smaller frame. My breath hitched. I shook my head and pushed him away from me.

"No. No, I'm not doing this, nope." I stalked away leaving a flustered Harry looking like he was gonna say something to me. He began to follow again and I sharply spun on my heel to face his direction.

"I thought I told you to leave me alone. Whatever the petty excuse you have for me, save it. Get out of my life. What in that do you not understand? I don't want you near me." My teeth were clenched tight. To my delight Harry backed off his shoulders sinking and his face dropping. I know I'll have to deal with him eventually, considering I'm carrying his child, but not now.

Not now.
