Slowly Falling

Chapter 12

{Zayn}

"I can't swim! Are you happy now?" Perrie said. Instead of answering her, my hands wrapped around her waist into a hug, her tears dripping onto my shoulder. 

"Baby, I'm so sorry. I had no idea" I said, pulling away from the hug and straing into her beautiful ocean blue eyes. 

"I was scared Zayn. That's why I got so mad at you. I was scared that if you'd put me in the water, then I'd drown" Perrie continued to cry. I wiped away her tears from her cheek, and stroked it with my thumb. 

"I wouldn't let you drown baby. You know I wouldn't let anything bad happen to you" I said. Perrie nodded and hugged me again. 

"Can we go home now?" she whispered. I nodded and unlocked the car, and Perrie got in the passengers seat. I walked around to the drivers, and got in. I put my hand out for Perrie to take, and she intertwined her fingers with mine. On the way home, Perrie claimed that she felt sick. 

"It's probably because you haven't eaten. It's almost 3pm and you haven't eaten a thing today" I said, rubbing her bare thigh. 

"No, it's not hunger sickness" she responded. 

"Why don't you try and go to sleep again? Maybe that will help" I suggested. Perrie nodded and layed the chair back. About thirty minutes after, Perrie sat up. 

"I'm gonna be sick. Zayn. Stop the car" she said. I quickly pulled into the sidelines and Perrie got out of the car and threw up. I got out also, and held back her hair, as she continued to puke. Seeing Perrie like this, made me upset. 

"Perrie, are you okay?" I asked, rubbing her back. 

"Yeah I'm fine. It's just travel sickness" she answered, puking one last time. I sighed, and Perrie stood up straight. "I'm fine, let's go home" she said. I nodded, helping her back into the car. She layed back down, and was asleep within ten minutes.

Perrie was still fast asleep when we arrive back at her apartment. I gently shook her, and she stirred a little, but didn't wake up. I got out of the car, and unlocked her apartment door with the key she had given me, 2 months into our relationship. I went back to the car and lifted Perrie out carefully, carrying her bridal style indoors. I layed her down on the couch and went back outside to grab her suitcase. I brought it in, and put it in her bedroom, before joining Perrie on the couch. I lifted her legs up and sat down, putting her legs on my lap. I watched as she slept soundly. 

Suddenly, she began to stir again, and I watched as my beautiful girlfriend woke up, rubbing her eyes to remove the sleep. 

"Hey baby" I said, as her eyes opened. 

"Hey. How long was I asleep for?" she asked, sitting up and pulling her legs off of my lap. 

"Around two hours" I said. Perrie snuggled up next to me and I put my arm around her. "How are you feeling now?"  

"Not great. My stomach still hurts" she answered. 

"Why don't you try and eat something? It's gone 5pm" I said. She nodded and I got up and make us both a quick 20 minute meal for us both to eat. I dished it up onto a plate and passed a plate to Perrie. She slowly began eating it, taking small bites and chewing lots of times. She managed half of the food on the plate, before running to the bathroom to puke again. I ran after her, and saw her sitting on the floor, her head hanging over the toilet. 

"I don't understand what could've made me sick. I've done nothing to trigger this. I mean, I haven't eaten anything dodgey, and I just.. I hate it" she cried. 

"I know you do baby" I said, pulling her head towards me. She leant on my chest and cried, grabbing onto my shirt with her hand. 

"Oh shit. Zayn" Perrie said, looking up at me. I looked at her, worry on her face. 

"What's wrong?" I asked. 

"Jade's party" Perrie responded. "We didn't use protection" Perrie's face dropped, as I remembered back to the perfect night we shared a month ago. 

"You mean, you think you might be..." I started, but couldn't finish. She shrugged her shoulders. 

"I don't know. But it's the only explaination to why I'm puking all of a sudden" Perrie said. "Zayn. I can't be pregnant right now. I'm too young to worry about having a child" 

"Well I'll run down to the store, grab you a test, and then we'll decide what to do when the results come in, okay?" I said. Perrie nodded and I kissed her lips. I got up, and grabbed the car keys, and left Perrie's apartment. I drove to the store and picked up a pregnancy test. The lady at the cashier wished me luck, when she saw what I brought, and I smiled at her before leaving and heading back to Perrie. 

"Perrie? I've got one" I called out. Perrie stepped out of the bedroom, looking more nervous than ever. She took it from my hand, and took a deep breath. She looked at me, before walking to the bathroom and shutting the door. Once she came out, I looked at her quickly. 

"Well?" I asked. 

"I have to wait two minutes" she said, holding the stick in her hand. She came over and hugged me. "Zayn, what are we going to do? We're too young to be parents. I mean, we've only be dating 4 months and I feel thats too soon to start a family. Of course, I want to start a family with you, but I'm only twenty years old and.." I cut her off and kissed her lips. 

"We'll figure it out baby. I promise. We'll figure out what we're gonna do if the result does come back as positive. But I just want you to know, that I will always love you. No matter what the result is. I will always, and I'll never stop loving you Perrie Louise Edwards. That's a promise" I said. Perrie smiled and kissed me again.

Our lips moved together passionately, almost turning intimate. I pulled away from Perrie's lips, and looked into her beautiful blue eyes. She stared at me and smiled. 

"Is two minutes up yet?" Perrie asked. I nodded and Perrie's smile dropped into a serious emotion. 

"Remember what I said" I responded, and Perrie nodded also. She took a deep breath and looked down at the stick she was holding in her hand. 

"Well?" I asked. 

"It's negative" Perrie said, slight disappointment projecting in her voice. 

{A/N: Hello again guys! This chapter was only short! Sorry! But now I can definitely get a triple update in by the end of the day. Tomorrow might be a struggle for me to post as I'm going to London for the day, and I won't be home until late. Tuesday will be an ok day to post though :)

I hope you're liking this story so far. I've already got ideas for what my next story will be about, and I can't wait to get started on it. Haha, I'm skipping ahead xD
