Once Upon A Royal Love

Chapter 38

Alexandra's POV

Sometimes things happen.
And you can't control it.
That's how life is and how it works.

For instance, falling in with someone.
I can't decide who you fall in love with, it most likely just happens and that's just about it.

"Uh- hello?", a voice said bringing me out my thoughts.
"Were you even listening?", Kat asked.

"sorry. I was just- "daydreaming", sophie said cutting me off.
"Thinking", I corrected her.
"Are you sure you're okay? I mean literally just Friday, you and William show up at that new restaurant together, giving everyone false hope that you guys would get back together, and now— it's like your mute. Haven't said a word about William since that day", Kat asked.

I sighed.
"Honestly?", I asked unsure if they really wanted all the truth.
They nodded.

I dramatically leaned my head back against the locker, "I don't even know. I mean everything was prefect and all, until he dropped the L-word", I said.

"L- word?", Kat asked.
"English- please", Sara said.

"He said he loved me", I say.
"So?", Sophie asked like it wasn't a big deal.

"So? So we got into another argument, and made up", I said.

"So that's good right?", Kat asked.
"Our make up was different", I say.

"What?", Sophie asked.
"We had sex", I say changing their expressions on their faces.

"And how was it?", Kat asked.
"Amazing until I started crying", I said rolling my eyes.

"Crying? Did it hurt that bad?", Sara asked.
"That wasn't why I was crying", I explained.
"Oh hell no. Please don't tell me while he was dicking you down, you were crying because of your feelings for him?", Kat asked.

"I couldn't help it", I say defending myself.
Whilst Sophie was saying something, I looked over her shoulder to see William walking down the hallway and who with him was Kerri.

Of course.

All of a sudden, I got dizzy, like really fast, I stumbled into Sophie l, struggling to hold my wait.

"Woah? You okay?", the concerned voice of William asked quickly approaching us.

I held the back of my neck, answering slowly, "Uh-Yeah... I'm fine, I just probably need some water", I say.

"See, shes fine. Let's go babe", Kerri who was eager to leave said as William ignored Kerri.

William placed his hand on my forehead.

"Jesus, Alex. You're burning up", he said bringing way to much attention to me.
"I'm fine", I said.

As then my vision got blurry and I collapsed before falling to the ground, William caught me.

"Alex?", he asked so worried about me.
"Alex, look at me?", William said snapping his fingers.

I tried but I couldn't.
"Sophie, get nurse Meyers in here", William to Sophie.

I shut my eyes.

I woke up in a hospital bed, I slowly sat up, looking around, moments later the doctor came in.

"Good Afternoon, Ms. Leighton. My name is Dr. Weathers, and I am your assigned doctor. It is as seem that the cause of your dizziness, heat flashes and fainting is caused by stress. Which is not healthy for you or the baby", he said.

I stared at him blankly.
"I'm sorry, can you go back?", I asked.
"Stress is not— I cut him off, "you said baby", I said.

"I recall I did", he said.
"I'm sorry, I think you got the wrong girl, I'm not— pregnant", I said.

"Yes, you are love", he said.
I froze.
"No, I'm not", I said.
"I understand but getting pregnant at a young age completely normal and common, you aren't the first teenage girl who is and won't be the last", he say.

God.
Please, no.
This can't be happening.
Not Right Now.

"I think I'm gonna be sick", I say.
"That's also common. I'll leave you to it, you will be able to leave in a few hours after we run a few more test on you", he said.

But how.
Friday.
We didn't use protection.
Shit.
Fuck.
Crap.
Oh my lord.
I'm not ready to be a mother.

What about William.
I need to tell William.

I bit my lip nervously, after ringing the doorbell of Williams house. Moments later the door opening.

Stood there was this tall, looked around 23, may be 24 guy with blue eyes and blondish hair.

"Who are you?", he asked.
"I'm William's— well, I was William's girlfriend", I said correcting myself.

"He never mentioned having a thing for chocolate girls. Aren't you a little out of his league?", he said taking no time to flirt.

"Maybe that's why we broke up. So is he here? It's important", I said.

"No. But I'll tell him the pretty chocolate American girl stopped by", he said.

"Thanks", I say.
"I didn't catch your name", he said.
"Alexandra. Alexandra Leighton", I said.

"Nice to meet Ms. Alexandra Leighton. The names Luke. Like James— well, how Luke Henry", he said.

"Henry?", I asked.
"I'm William's step-brother", he said.
