Charlotte’s p.o.v

5 months along

I stand in front of my best friend’s house, the place that from now on will be my home. I say it as if it’s a bad thing. In certain situations this would be ideal, moving in with your best friend, getting independence. But not in mine. No that would be because I’m currently five months pregnant, and I also just got kicked out of my house, by my parents, who are barely ever at home and didn’t realise I was pregnant until about two days ago. But hay ho, life goes on. I get a feeling in the pit of my stomach, no it morning sickness, or the baby growing inside of me, but the one you get when you need to cry, when you’ve kept everything inside for so long that it feels like you’re going to burst into tears and cry if someone even sneezes. Yep that is exactly what I’m feeling.

The front door opens and I see Ashton running straight towards me, his arms ready to give me a hug and that’s when I let everything go, the tears start running and Ashton doesn’t shun me or laugh like my parents, but he rubs my back and hushes me for about five minutes until I calmed down. I smiled weakly at him and he returned it wiping the tears from under my eyes, wrapping his arm around my waist and guiding me into the house before I collapsed in the driveway.

One we got in he sat me down on the sofa and I grabbed a pillow as he left to grab a drink, and cried into it, I sobbed like I hadn’t before. Because this was all finally becoming real, I was becoming a mother, the father ditched me and I’d been kicked out of my house. My life was perfect. Ashton rushed to me as soon as he saw me crying again and hushed me. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and rocked me gently knowing that it’d take me to stop myself, not him, not his mum, not Lauren or my parents, because I’m the only one that’s able to stop it.

“You know you have to tell me at some point why I’m the only person you could go to, I thought your parents would understand, I thought you’d have Jack, why me?” he spoke up when my cries became more hushed.

I sighed knowing I’d have to tell him, I’d have to tell him that everyone but him was ashamed of me and that he’s the only person that can stand me anymore. I took another deep breath, ready to tell him but his phone rung, literally saved by the bell.

“Hello?” Ash obviously hadn’t checked the caller I.d yet again.

“I’m a bit tied up at the moment Luke,”

“No it’s not something I can come back to later,”

“Yes the person will still be here later,”

“That doesn’t mean that I can come back to the convocation later, it’s kind of important,”

“Fine try and kick me out you know you all need me to keep you sane,”

“Bye” he ended harshly before looking back at me and sat back down,

“ that was about a band thing wasn’t it?” I asked, trying to delay this as long as possible,

“yeah but it’s fine, they can wait,”

“Just go to band practice or video upload whatever, I’ll be here when you get back,”

“are you sure?”

“yes, I’d rather put my things away and have a drink and something to eat considering it’s three o’clock and I still haven’t eaten anything and kept it down,”

“okay, but if you need me, just ring me,”

“I know, just leave,” I began giggling at how stupid he was being, it’s not like an axe murderer is going to come in and I’m going to wait until he gets home to tell him like come on, I’m a woss and he knows it.

I watched him leave before sighing, I stalled for at least an hour or two, and I get to think of how I’m going to tell him…

No-ones p.o.v

Ashton drove towards Luke’s house, taking his phone off the dash every two seconds to make sure charlotte was okay and unsurprisingly there wasn’t a text from her, he was worrying over nothing. He was trying to stall going to the boy’s houses as it meant he’d have to tell him about charlotte but she was the one who had forced him to go. He pulled into the curb, and saw three expectant eyes watching him from the living room window.

“Who is this girl and why are you so wrapped up in all her shit?” Luke practically screamed at him as he entered the house, Michael and Calum staying silent.

“My best friend, she got kicked out by her parents and her boyfriend left her just after she found out she was pregnant, and I was the only person she could go to. I’d let you meet her but she’s currently in her new room probably crying her eyes out so thank you very much guys, I’m so grateful” they all stared at him with wide eyes, but he could see through them, they felt guilty. And so they should. Charlotte really needs me at the moment and they dragged me here to record a youtube video that barely anyone watches- he felt tempted to say that out loud, but he knew that wouldn’t help the situation.

“sorry mate, we didn’t know, go back if you want, we’ll come over on Monday and do the video, we’ve all got work tomorrow and Sunday,” Calum said being the only one that looked like they had a heart . Ashton just shook his head laughing in almost agony, and turned around again but stopped at the door,”If any of you say anything to her when you’re there, consider yourself history!” and with that he left, all the boys now feeling guilty and scared, but Luke found himself intrigued as to what this girl was like.
