Love At War // Aston Merrygold (On Hold)

Part 1

That perfect life that everyone wished for. That's what I thought I had. My boyfriend; Nathan. He was perfect, well I thought he was until recentley. I'm 20 years old but heavily pregnant... 8 months pregnant. Then Nathan's 26. Big age gap, I know, but I fell for him.. big time. We met when I was 17, he was 23. It was at a club on the night of my birthday, he asked me If I wanted a drink and we got talking from there. Nobody In my family liked him though, not sure why though, they all said he was weird, like something was up with him. And of course, my best friend didn't like him, not one bit. The atmosphere when they were together was awful... you could cut it with a knife. 

"Baby, I'm off to see the boys for a week or two" Nathan smiled, coming into the living room where I was sat on the couch. My back was killing me because of the pregnancy. "Again? Nathan, but I'm pregnant, I could have our kid anyday now" I sighed. "I know baby, but I'll be back in two weeks at the most" he smiled. "Oh fuck you" I mumbled. "What?" he snapped grabbing my wrists and pulling me up. "Ow Nathan, you're hurting me" I whispered. "Oh shut up, I don't give a fuck. I'm going out with my friends. You stay here with that thing" he snapped, pointing to my stomach. "'That 'thing' Is a baby.. your fucking baby" I snapped. "Oh shut up you stupid bitch" he smirked, slapping my across the face. I could feel the tears bubbling up. He knew how to hurt someone, didn't he? "I'm sorry baby" he sighed, pulling me into a hug and kissing my head. Yup, he always done this. Some how, either way, an argument would occur, he would grab my wrists, hit me, then hug me and appologise. "I'll see you when I get back, love you" he smiled kissing me before grabbing his bag. "And you" I replied and off he went. Why didn't I say I love him back? Because in all honesty, as time went on and the longer we stayed together, the more he changed and the more I realised, I don't really love him anymore. He doesn't treat me how a boyfriend should treat a girlfriend. The surprises, the romantic meals, the special day.. 'Valentines Day' been another normal day, no cards, gifts nothing. All that was left to my bestfriend, he was more like the boyfriend. Surprise presents, taking me out on surprise trips wether it's shopping, to the cinema or for a meal. The romantic meal on valentines day. My best friend... Aston Merrygold.

We'd been friends since I moved down to Peterborough with my family when I was 13. We lived next door to each other and instantly made a connection... best friends together, the promise we'd made together. It sounds awkward I know, but he was my first kiss, I was his. I lost my virginity to him, he lost his to me. We wanted them both to be special and with someone who we loved, we loved eachother, we were in a relationship for 2 years, when we were both 14 until we were both 16. Then we broke up, not quite sure why we even did, it broke my heart but we stayed friends.. Best friends. He then joined a band and moved to London after making me promise I'd move down too and that's what I done. After persuading Nathan we moved down aswell. And here we are today, still best friends, but me 8 moths pregnant, to someone I didn't even love. I didn't like been alone when I was pregnant, so I texted Aston. *Ast, Nathan's gone for a week or two with his friends, can you come over please? Hxxxx* I put my phone on my lap, recieving a text straight away. *What? When you're pregnant? The prick. But yeah, of course babe, give me 5? Axxxx* I smiled at the text, I always did when I got a text of him. *Yeah, that's fine! Hxxxx* I put my phone on the side of the chair before waiting for Aston to come over.
