English Love Affair//Luke hemmings//5sos

chapter 19

Zoes POV

I'm just so tired.

Tired and stressed.

I walk over to my CD player inserting my blink-182 album.

I hum along to my CD.

Before I realise it I'm singing.

"AND THAT'S THE DAY SHE WALKED AWAY FROM ME" I shout.

"NOBODY LIKES YOU WHEN YOUR 23"

I start dancing around the house.

"WHAT THE HELL IS ADD MY FRIENDS SAY I SHOULD ACT MY AGE"

"whats my age again" luke joins in.

After he does the robot around the house and we both burst out laughing.

I ask

"Why are you home so early? "

"I don't know, does it matter"

"Nah guess not" I get up heading towards the fridge.

"I wanted to talk about the babies"

"Yeah what about them" I open a jar full of pickles.

Don't ask weird things happen when your pregnant.

"What do you think about the fans" he asks as I dig my fork into the jar.

"I don't know if I can handle the hate" I sigh.

"So what...keep them secret?"

"No, well not unless you want to. Don't tell them anything but just live life like normal. Walk down the street with them-together'

I smile at my suggestion.

"Yeah okay"

"Omgosh I love this song" I screech in his ear.

Suddenly standing up and pullibg him up as we dance and sing like crazy.

"ALL THE SMALL THINGS TRUTH HURTS..."

Alexs POV

I can't be this tame sort of person.

During my first pregnancy I drank a hell of a lot.

For a week I even took up smoking but hated it.

It was just a weird craving that was over as soon as it came.

I wore short dresses and went out clubbing till I was a month away from the due date.

But know I'm staying at home all day in baggy sweaters.

The only time I've been out the house this week was to grab a bagel fron the store around the corner.

I've staued at my mums this week because living with Zoe makes everything so much harder.

She's constantly talking about her babies and all i want to do is talk about mine.

"Alexandra darling it's time for dinner" mum called.

"It's Alex mum" I groan.

"Well anyway me and your father are so glad to see the sudden change in your life" she beams.

"What change?" I frown.

"Well look at yourself you look much more mature"

"What the hell?" I shout.

"Well honey, we always hoped you'd have a 'Rachel' like attitude and now you do" dad flicks through his newspaper"

He refered to my half sister Rachel.

Perfect Rachel.

Smart Rachel.

Everyone's favourite, Rachel.

Rachel, unlike me isn't adopted.

She has a PHD in some kind of science.

She's 30 married with a three year old and a 6 year old.

Not only that but her life is perfect in their eyes.

We share a mutal dislike.

" I'm not turning into Rachel" I mumble.

"Alexandra that was a compliment"

"MY NAME IS ALEX AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE LIKE RACHEL" I yell.

Theres a gentle cough behind me.

I turn around to see Rachel and one of her kids.

"I just came to pick up these folders, but now Alexandrasl is dropping by too I might stay" she sniffs.

"Oh no dear Alexandras staying here for a while"

"I'm not actually, I'm moving back in with Zoe at the end of the week"

"Well I can't imagine what your life must be like, having Freya and your sort of job"

"You don't even know what I do" I reply glaring at her.

"Well are you going to move into your own house now that kid number twos coming"

She holds up a pregnancy test from my suitcase.

"Do you know who's it is this time?" She sneers.

"It's Calums" I whimper even though they have no clue who he is.
