Julias p.o.v
I woke up to a blurry image of Mario outside our bedroom door talking on the phone. "I'll just have to go by myself.", Mario spoke. "No no no, you don't understand, she's pregnant with my baby, I can't just leave her for the 6 months.", he said again. He then turned around to face me and realized I was awake. He went wide-eyed. "Look I uh gotta go. bye.", he said quickly and shut the phone off. "What was that?", I asked. "It was just... you know... one of the boys.", he said reluctantly.

Liar, I thought to myself. I decided to just pretend to shrug it off. I knew something was wrong, was he gonna leave me for tour? Or was he gonna take me? I had to talk to him about the call during dinner tonight.

I decided to get up and start my day. I took off to the restroom to brush my teeth, but I was soon overthrown with so much nausea. I sat on the floor throwing up nonstop. Mario suddenly barged in.

"Julia, are you okay? Oh it's the pregnancy right?", he said as he quickly began to collect my hair behind me head to give me an easier time. I soon stopped a few minutes later and just felt totally weak.

"Come on Julia let's get you to bed", he said while he helped me up and out of the restroom. He then helped me lay on the bed and covered me with the comforter. "I'll be back, I'm gonna get you something to eat.", he said. I lay there just thinking about this whole pregnancy thing. Is this how I'm gonna feel like for the next few days? Gosh, how am I even gonna cope being pregnant. There aren't many teens around here pregnant and I'd practically just get stared at everywhere I went. I had a feeling that I wasn't really ready, but then again just the fact of knowing that a little human was growing inside of me made me so happy and intrigued.

"Look I made you some chicken soup and a tea.", Mario said walking in with a tray. "Thanks", I said while sitting upright on the bed. He took the tray and placed it on my lap. I quickly took the spoon and ate the soup. Mario sat on the edge of the bed.

"Julia, I know you heard the conversation I was having earlier with my manager.", he said. "Uh yeah. Look it's okay if you can't take me on tour with you.", I said. "Yeah, but you're pregnant, I mean you're gonna be nauseous for the first few months and who's gonna take care of you and the baby?", he asked. "Well you know, I can always call a friend or something to stay with me so I won't feel alone. My mom can also maybe come here once in a while to check up on me.", I said while sipping some tea. "Julia, but-" "Trust me i'll be fine Mario.", i cut him off. "Alright. I'm leaving next month though", he sighed. "What? Why so soon?", i asked.
"Well I don't even know to be honest", he said. "Look I have to go to a meeting today regarding the tour, so I'm gonna go ahead and leave now so I can pick up the boys. I'll see you later.", he said and kissed me goodbye.

As soon as I heard the front door shut, I got up and decided to go clean around the house because it was getting quite dirty. I was really upset that I couldn't come on tour with Mario. I knew that he would come back in 6 months, but he'd basically be gone throughout my entire pregnancy. I thought we were supposed to go through this together and all that cheesy stuff. I guess not, but I mean he always has the best time on tours and as long as he's happy, then I am too.

It was getting really late and I just lounged around the couch watching netflix. I kept wondering where Mario was. He had left around 12pm after he made me the soup. Meeting usually at most take up 3 hours, but what could be holding him? I decided to call.

"Hello, Mario are you there?", i asked. There was loud music in the background. "Oh Julia why do you have to be so annoying just wait till I get home.", he slurred. "Mario what the hell, are you drunk?", I said getting angry. "Not your business, just go to sleep.", he said laughing. I hung up the phone.

What the hell was that? I'd never heard Mario drunk before and why was he being so rude. I couldn't help but feel tears start to well up in my eyes. I turned the t.v. off and headed upstairs. I laid in bed and just thought about how rude he was. I tried to fall asleep constantly wiping tears from my cheeks.
