Beautiful Faces {b.f - book 1} ➳ Christian Collins

Surprises

I woke up in a little to familiar room. One that was perfectly white with a big window and, of course, a crying Luke next to me. I sucked in a breath as i tried to sit up, I felt dizzy and very lightheaded. Luke looked up at me, tears in his eyes.

"Oh my god you're OK.."

"Of course I am.." I replied in a raspy voice, "why wouldn't I be?"

"Well according to Troye you passed out during an argument with Chris.."

"Troye .. " I looked around the room,  "Where is he? He's not here."

"No. No, he is. He just couldn't stand seeing you passed out.. I wanted to go with him but i couldnt. I mean lets be honest, this whole you in the hospital thing is getting kind of old.." he said jokingly. I smiled at him.

"You're telling me." I said sarcastically trying to sit up again without success.

"Here let me help." Luke said as he helped me sit up and, over all, stay up. I sat still for a second, giving the room time to stop spinning.

"Why am I here?"

"I told you.. you passed out... arguing with Chris."

"I'm sure its not because of the argument.."

"Well... if not then the argument sure did trigger something.."

I sighed and looked at him.

"He believed me Luke.."

"Who believed you about what?"

"Chris. He believed me.. that I didn't kiss you.. but then..."

"Then what happened? why were you arguing?"

"No one told you anything?"

"No.. I didn't want them to.. I wanted to hear the story straight from you.. so i know the truth.."

"Well.."

Just as i was about to explain Troye walked in with Jacob on one side and Chris on the other.

"Thank God, finally you're awake!" Troye squealed as he rushed to me and jumped on my bed, pulling me into an awkwardly tight hug.

"Troye.. I can't breathe.."

"Oh right.. sorry. Sorry." He apologized as i scooched over for him to lay beside me.

"Hey, you feel better?" Jacob asked as he walked to my bedside. "You're actually really light." he joked.

"I'm fine.. just a bit dizzy and no. I'm really not." I said giggling.

"We stayed up all night you little fucker." Troye said suddenly, "And you got to sleep in this comfortable bed? Oh hell no. I am going to have a afternoon nap. Good Night." He said as he curled up beside me under the covers. We all laughed at his drama queen-ness.

"You know I'm really sorry.." Chris said with a sad smile.

"For what?" I asked, confused.

"For causing you so much stress that it made you pass out.."

"No, its-"

"Actually that's not why she passed out." I was interuppted by a fluffy, blonde headed, gum smacking nurse. "Lynn Dallas, right?" she asked looking straight at me. I nodded.

"Well if it wasn't that.. what was it?" Chris asked confused. The nurse stopped writing on her clipboard and looked down at me.

"I think I should tell her that by herself..."

"Well how bad could it be that we can't know?" Luke asked standing up from his chair.

"Its not that bad. I mean, that depends on how you look at it but.." she blew a big, pink bubble then popped it. "She might want to know alone first. Her choice if she wants y'all to know later.."

"But what if she wants us to stay?" Jacob asked brushing the tips of his fingers above my hand. Electricity spread through my body just at this small touch. All I wanted at that moment was to push Troye off the bed and pull Jacob on to it. I looked over to Chris and instantly felt remorse. He was hanging on to every word the nurse said. He cared. He really did.

"Would you like me to tell you first or would you like these 4 gentleman to stay?" The nurse said giving Chris a dirty look.

I imagined how bad I looked, the same way I looked that night I brought Luke and Chris to my house for Thanksgiving.. here I was lying in a bed with one boy, another boy with his hand on mine, another crying over me and another who was just to worried to function.

"I want Troye to stay with me.. that's it."

Suddenly Troye shot up from where he was laying and sat cozilly beside me.

"I'm here for you beautiful.." he smiled.

"That means the rest gotta wait outside." she said popping another bubble and pointing at the door. They all looked at me worried, before one by one they stepped outside.

"Ohk." I said when I was sure they were gone. "Is it a disease or something?"

"Actually no." The nurse started as she flipped some papers up from her clipboard.

"Then what is it?" Troye asked seriously.

"Ms. Dallas. You're pregnant." She said with a giant smile.
