The Lucky One

Chapter 15

Kendall's POV

I sit in my parked car with my head resting on another seat. Tears stream down my face and I actually can't believe that I still have any liquid in me at all because I cried an ocean last night. I wonder what Harry's thinking right now. Does he want me back? Or is he glad that I'm gone? He proposed to me so maybe he is still in love with me. I wonder how Shreeya is taking it. Maybe I let them both down. And the unborn kid. It's not very big but one day, many years from now, it'll be as tall and handsome at Harry or as tall and gorgeous as me. I'm secretly hoping its a boy so Harry can have a better connection with it. I at least owe him that. But I have names sorted out for either gender: Ted or Beatrice. I've loved the names for years now but I don't know why! Click. The car door next to me opens and it's Harry.

"I'm sorry." He whispers.

"I love you!" I fling my arms around his neck and he somehow manages to slip my engagement ring back onto one of my fingers before picking me up and spinning me around.

"We've got to go." He whispers suddenly.

"What? No!" I whisper back. "What about Shreeya?"

"I was devastated after you left me and I insulted her a bit and she left but Zayn found her and he doesn't want me near her. Shes gone." He chokes back a sob.

"Lets leave now." I cry and he carries me through the snow.

"How's the baby?"

"It's been a night!"

"Still, how is he? Is it a he?"

"It's fine and I have no idea what gender it is!"

"Good."

"Where are we going?"

"Um... a friends house."

"Which friend?"

"One of my best ones."

"Guy or girl?"

"Girl."

"Famous?"

"Yup."

"Over 20?"

"Yup."

"Singer?"

"Yup."

"Look I'm not playing guessing games any more, just tell me!"

"You'll see when we get there."

"But-"

"No buts, just rest."

"Fine."

"That's my girl." He kisses my forehead and I stare up into the cloudy sky. The world dims into black and I can't feel anything anymore.

Harry's POV

I arrive at Taylor's place with a sleeping Kendall. I ring the doorbell and wait.

"Hi!" Taylor answers. "What are you doing here?" I tell her our situation and invites me in.

"Can I just put Kendall here?" I lower her onto the couch.

"Sure." Taylor brings some hot cocoa and choc-chip cookies over into the lounge where we sit by the fire.

"How's your love life going?" I ask casually.

"Status: single!" She shrugs.

"Just remember that the perfect guy for you is walking on this planet right now." She smiles.

"Thanks, I needed that." She shivers.

"Here." I wrap a huge blanket around Taylor. I remember the place from when I was with Taylor a couple years ago.

"Remember Christmas 2011?" Taylor asks.

"Yup. Sitting around the fire with eggnog and homemade blueberry muffins." I sigh.

"It seems not so long ago really. Was it really two years or has the time been messed up by the Government?" Taylor laughs.

"Maybe you've had so much fun since we broke up that..." I sigh. "That's the time flies because you're not with me." She stares down.

"Should we wake Ken?" Tay breaks the awkward silence.

"Good idea!" We walk over to her. "Ken!" I call.

"Kendall!" Taylor helps.

"Wakey wakey!" I kiss her nose.

"Look! Shoes on sale!" Taylor mocks surprise.

"What? Where?" Ken sits up and we burst into laughter. "What?"

"Nothing." I laugh.

"Why are we here?"

"Because Taylor is one of my best friends and she's always there for me." I reply.

"Oh." She swivels her head for something to do.

"Cocoa?" Tay offers. "Cookie?"

"Thanks." Ken takes a cup of cocoa. "What's the time?"

"Um..." Taylor checks the time on her personal clock. It's a picture of her hand with '13' on it made into a clock. Of course. "Eleven'o'three." She replies.

"Are we gonna stay here?" Ken looks from me to Tay, to Tay to me.

"If that's okay with you." I look at Tay.

"Sure, if you want to." She shrugs.

"Great!" I grin. "Let's... eat some pizza!" I grab the phone and order 2 pepperoni pizzas.

"So how's the baby?" Taylor points towards Ken's stomach.

"Great..." She replies. This. Is. So. Awkward.
