"OK, keep walking... keep walking... now take a big step..." I say to my girlfriend Ashley, holding my hands up in front of her face.
"What are you doing, Zayn..."
"Just keep walking. OK now stop... actually step forward a tiny bit..." I tease her. "No, no no, back again. No, too far..."
"Zayn!"
"Sorry." I say. "Now open your eyes!"
She opens her bright green eyes that are surrounded by her long lashes.
"Oh... Zayn..."
I'm down on my knees, holding out a little white box. I open it up, revealing a small, silver ring, with a single clear diamond in the middle.
"Ashley, will you marry me?"
I look up at her. She has tears falling down her cheeks. They are not tears of joy.
"Oh, Zayn... I'm so, so sorry..." her voice trails off.
I get up to my feet, closing the little white box.
"No, look, it's OK, it's not- I understand..." I stammer.
"It's just... well... I- I don't know how to say this..."
"No, I understand. We're just not ready for this. It's OK," I go to walk off.
"Zayn?" she calls. I turn around and look at her beautiful face.
"I'm... I'm having a baby."
I look at her in disbelief. "Oh honey, no no no... oh my god... it's OK, we can do this together..." I run back to her and wrap her up in my arms. She's only 19. I'm almost 20. We're too young. She's too young.
"Zayn," she says pulling away to look me in the eye. "It's not your baby."
