Life Ain't Easy

Chapter 10

We were at the terminal and we had just checked our bags in and we waiting at the gate. Our trip had been postponed for another two months because Al’s parent didn’t want her leaving on a short holiday so we waited for the middle of the year brake. Although now I was 4 months pregnant and definitely showing. My wardrobe had changed from singlets to baggy shirts and pants. I was lucky that a baggy short just looked like I had gotten fatter.

“So, do you have the M&M’s?” I was riffling through Al’s bag next to her.

“God you and your cravings and yes but you can have any till we are on the plan.” She laughed.

“You sound like a mother and I am the one expecting.” I said as I lightly punched her in the shoulder, which caused us both to laugh.

The flight had gone surprising well for a 14 hour flight to Dubai then another 9 to Heathrow Airport. Apart from my five cases of morning sickness it was surprisingly smooth journey.

When we landed in Heathrow I felt very faint and queasy, I was so nervous. I hadn’t even thought of what I was going to say to him. How do you tell a boy he is going to be a dad at seventeen?!

“Alex, Jess!” We heard someone yell, and before we had time to search Louis came running up and picked Al up and gave her a long passionate kiss. I felt something inside me twinge a little bit, once Louis had put down Al he came over and gave me a hug. Then when I heard him gasp I knew he felt the bump.

“Jess, please tell me you have just put on lots of weight or you’re bloated from the flight.” He said as put his hands up behind his head and looked at me seriously.

“Louis, please don’t freak out, come on Jess show him” Al’s voice was so calm, he would find out sooner or later and I was so grateful that Al hadn’t told him already. I lifted my oversized sloppy Joe to rival my singlet covered stomach which was protruding out.

“Louis you can in no way tell Harry or even hint it has to come from me.” I said replacing my shirt when I heard Louis curse under his breathe.

“Holy, Shit fuck shit. He is going to…” He trailed off and if let tears welling up in my eyes but I held them back. At no point on this trip would I cry.

“Lou can you take us to the hotel, she should rest after the flight.” Said Al

Louis lead us out of the terminal and then to a waiting car, the trip there I was questioned by Louis the whole way about everything. I told him the story, and then to my surprise he hugged me and smile and asked if boy or girl. He also called dibs on godfather, I couldn’t think about this I didn’t even know if I wanted the baby.

When we got to the hotel we went around the back as the boy’s fans and paparazzi where out front and the last thing they need is a pregnant girl walking in with one of the members.

I had decided that I would talk to Harry tomorrow, but Al wanted to see all of the boys however I told her to just say you came alone.

I went into my room, had a shower and slept for at least 20 hours. I woke up the next day and ran straight to the toilet, god I hated morning sickness. I felt a light thump against my stomach, I just thought I must of bumped it but then placed my hand on my stomach and felt it again it was kicking, my baby was kicking.

I had a shower put on my really nice baggy clothes put on some make up and headed for Harry’s room. He and the boys all had separate rooms on the top level and I had gotten Harry’s room number from Louis previously. The whole way up in the elevator my butterflies grew if let like being sick, but I had to pull myself together. I walked down the corridor going over certain scenarios that may happen the one where he swept me up in his arms and cared for me and the baby and the other where he slammed the door in my face.

I approached door number 678, I stood there motionless for a while before I knocked. I knocked twice and the heard shuffling inside. I heard the door click then open, my heart sank, instead of the curly haired kid I had grown up with I was confronted by a brown haired girl with an amazing body which was covered by a very short silk robe, and underneath was just  a pair of very seductive underwear.

“Can I help you?” She sounded disgusted at my appearance at her door. But before I had time to answer

“Oi Debbie who is it?” His voice was so familiar it still made my heart melt at the sound of it.

“Ahh no sorry wrong door.” But before I could leave with some dignity left, I felt tears welling up. What I had been thinking, of course he wouldn’t have remained single or at least f buddy single. I turned and ran away but before I turned the corner I knew he saw me

“JESS?” He yelled and then I heard his footsteps I raced to the elevator, I pressed the down buttoned the door opened automatically, I stepped inside and pressed level seven so many time I think I broke the button. The door was about to close when a stopped it the opened again.

“What are you doing here, and it’s not what you think I swear Jess.” He said stopping the door form closing again.

“No Harry it is fine don’t worry about it I get it,” I said through my tears which were now pouring out of my eyes, “but I came here to tell you something.” I was so hurt be him I wanted him to suffer, he stopped the elevator closing one my more time

“I am not on the pill you bastard!” I screamed at him and lifted up my shirt, dread swept across his face and he fell to his knees this time when the doors closed he didn’t stop them.

I ran back to my room and picked up my phone and dialed a number.

“Hi my name is Jess and I would like to change a flight date, is that possible?” I asked choking on the last couple of words.

“Uh, yes that is do you know what date you want to switch it too? “Replied a young women

“I would like to leave tonight.”
