Three days later
Lillian Morgan
"You're moving where and doing what?" Natasha screeched making everyone in the cafe look at us.
"Shhhh." I hiss and rub my temples.
"I'm moving to New Zealand and am quitting ice skating. I need to get away from here. I made a big mistake. I'll come back don't worry. I just need a break, some time to let things settle down. But I won't be skating again. Not after beating Macy." I say and drink my hot chocolate slowly.
"What? Why not? You're a brilliant skater. Why would you stop if you came first?" Natasha asks in confusion.
"I can't explain here. Let's go back to my apartment. You can help me pack the last of my things." I grab Natashas hand and drag her out of the cafe. Looking around I walk quickly.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Natasha asks.
"I can't tell you out here." I whisper. I froze to the spot when I saw a crowd of girls swarming a group of 8 males.
"Shoot. It's the 8 Riches." I look around frantically. The door into my apartment building was just ahead.
"Wait. Are they why you're leaving?" Natasha gasps.
"Yes. No. Kinda. Just hurry up." I quickly run to the door into my apartment building, Natasha just behind.
I sigh in relief when they don't spot me. "You really have to explain." Natasha grumbles.
"Don't worry. I will. Come on." We walk to the elevator and we take it to the 17th floor.
As soon as we walk into my apartment lock and bolt the door shut. "Explain." Natasha snaps and I sigh.
"Well it started with beating Macy. She hates losing which is very, very bad." I say as I begin to pack the last of my things.
"How?" Natasha asks in confusion.
"Because she's the niece of the duke and duchess of France. They've been watching and following me ever since I beat her. I keep seeing them out of the corner of my eye but as soon as I turn I see them turn away or slip into an alley. I'm scared they're gonna hurt me or something." I say and close my bag.
"Oh. What about the 8 Riches? How do they tie into this?" Natasha asks curiously.
I cringe. "After the skating competition when we went to the bar you know how I met Alex Stone?" I say slowly and Natasha nods as she sits down on my bed.
"Well we kinda got drunk and one thing led to another." I mumble and Natasha leaps to her feet and grabs my shoulders.
"You slept with Alex Stone? One of the 8 freaking Riches?" She yells and I nod.
"I also left before he woke up." I say with a cringe and Natasha groans.
"Oh boy. If you like I'll go to the airport with you." She says and I hug her.
"Thank you. The planes leaving after lunch." I say.
"That means we have 2 hours. What do you want to do?" Natasha sighs and we sit on my bed.
"Well I don't feel safe going outside so why don't we make sure very things packed before watching some YouTube?" I suggest and Natasha nods.

"I'm gonna miss you Lillian." Natasha hugs me, tears in her eyes.
"I'll miss you too. Why don't you move to New Zealand with me? We could live in the same apartment or live in apartments next to each other." I say as I pull away.
"Really?" She gasps and I nod with a smile.
"I'll move in a month. I have some things to do here." She says happily and I hug her again as they announce my flight.
"I'll see you then." With that I turn and walk towards the gate, sending a smile back to my best friend.

1 week later
Auckland.
A beautiful city full of nice people. It's definately different to Los Angeles but I like the change.
I walked into the kitchen and grabbed bread from the cupboard before sitting at the table and looking out at the beautiful view.
When I took my first bite a wave of nausea washed over me and I ran to the bathroom where I vomited for a solid 5 minutes. "What happened?" I groan and stand up, wiping my face and rinsing it with cold water. As I dried my face I looked into the mirror.
My face slightly pale.
Then I remembered what happened a bit over a week ago and I feel sick even more. "Oh crap."
I grab my keys and race out of my apartment and down to the street where I jump into my dark blue Toyota Tacoma. Quickly I start the car and drive to the nearest chemist. I hurry inside and over to the counter. "Hello miss. How may we help?" The lady asks with a kind smile.
"Do you have any pregnancy tests? The more accurate the better." I ask.
The woman leads me to a shelf and points out a box of pregnancy tests. "These are the most accurate. The instructions are on the back." She says.
"I'll take it. Can I pay cash?" I ask.
"Yes of course." She replies. I quickly pay and drive back to my apartment.
Quickly I rush into my bathroom and follow the pregnancy test instructions. It tells me to wait for half an hour. The whole time I spend pacing the bathroom, back and forth, back and forth.
As soon as the half hour was up and I look at the pregnancy test I do a double take before doing a second one just to be sure. This one showed the exact same result.
Quickly I grab my phone and ring Natasha.
"Lillian? What is it?" She asks as soon as she answers.
I stare at the pregnancy tests as I answer. "Please Natasha. You need to move here as soon as you can." I say shakily.
"Why? What happened?" She asks frantically.
I heave a sigh and close my eyes before answering.
"I'm pregnant."
