The Only Exception (H. Styles/ Bwwm)

Chapter Thirty

"You sure about this? I know I gave you the address but are you sure? You didn't even think it through, you just got home and decided to go" I took a deep breath holding onto the steering wheel as I looked over to her in the passenger seat.

Honestly, I wasn't sure but, I was here now.

I shook my head telling myself to get out the car and ring the bell but, my body wasn't moving. I sighed looking at the house then back to Bonnie "Is it bad that I just want to check up on her?" I asked and she smiled shaking her head.

"Just shows you have a big heart...I'm guessing you didn't tell Harry?" I looked down shaking my head. I wanted to make sure everything was fine before even thinking of involving him. I didn't want her to feel pressured. I just wanted to make sure she was okay and wanted some answers.

"What are you going to say when you see her?" "Not really sure just yet. Just want to make sure she's okay ... maybe talk to her about coming back but, I don't know if I should. Last thing I want to do is pressure her and/ or make things worse for them" I explained and she touched my hand squeezing it nodding.

"Check up definitely, wait on bringing her back though" she said and I nodded agreeing. There was no rush on that. I just had to show we were still here for her but not because we wanted her back.

"I just hope I don't fuck it up, I'm not the sentimental type of girl really. Sometimes I'm blunt and it comes off rude -" "You're an amazing mother who understands what she's going through. Never have been rude either, just go in and talk and show you care because you do. That's it Ren" she stated making me feel a bit better about this.

"Go handle your business, I'll be here snacking and reading if you need me" she smiled holding up her Flaming hot Cheetos and unknown book making me laugh. I took another deep breath looking at the house then unbuckling my seatbelt getting out of the car.

I can't lie, walking up toward the house made my heart start pounding but, I needed to do this. I didn't drive all the way here to turn back now.

"So..." she whispered sitting across from me looking down at her finger. I just watched her in silence seeing how nervous this made her and I hated it. I didn't want to make her nervous, I didn't want to come off intimidating, I just wanted to talk.

Her face when she opened the door was like a child be caught by their parent doing something bad. I smiled and went in for a hug but, she couldn't get out of this state of nervous.

"How are you?" I asked in a calm tone making her look up at me giving me a small smile. "I'm good. You?" she asked and I sighed looking down. I could tell that was a lie she looked stressed and pretty unhappy. Even though I didn't know everything about her or even considered her a friend just yet, seeing her like this hurt.

Maybe it was just the morning sickness or maybe she still wasn't ready for this... I didn't know. She looked exhausted, hair was pulled back into a messy bun, oversized tee shirt and sweatpants. Something was taking a toll on her.

I looked down sitting up and clearing my throat "I'm not going to beat around the bush and make this any more awkward than it already is and waste your time-" "I know you're upset that I left but, I couldn't be the one to mess you two up" she quickly whispered making my mouth drop looking at her. I didn't want to get on this subject today or even in the near future.

"You didn't. We are fine and ready to work this out Amber" "I told you before I couldn't live like that....as a baby mother, I want everything with someone I love" she snapped back taking me back a bit. I understood that but now that the baby was here, there's not much to do.
