Behind The Storylines..

Chapter 24

ALIS POV.

How do I tell Chris I.... 'like' him... How had this even happened. I was always the person who knew what to say. I was always the person chatting and talking, making conversation... now I was lost for words. Should I just come out and say it? Should i ask him how he feels first? i just didn't know...

Kym appeared in the doorway with two mugs of tea and a smile on her face.. 'Hiya, tea for two?' She giggled slightly and brought them over.. I just looked at her and took one of the mugs. 'So.. how you feeling?' I sighed, not knowing what to say 'that bad huh..' She smiled a warming smile. I half laughed and cupped my hands around the mug 'Well, today has just been.... surreal. I honestly can't say i'm surprised, Ben wasn't exactly jumping for joy after I told him I was pregnant.. I was kind of expecting it really. Plus, I had had feelings for someone else for quite a while.. not sure if it will go anywhere but you never know..'

My mind was going into overdrive, how do I tell him I like him?! Well, a little more than like... I love him, and have done for quite a while without it sounding weird. 

CHRIS'S POV.

I could tell she was overthinking things again, she always went quiet when she was thinking too much. I can't say i'm surprised with how her day has gone today... Me on the other hand, I was trying to think of a way to tell her I like her. I know she had just gotten out of a relationship with Ben, but I don't think she ever truly liked him, as harsh as that sounds. She never seemed truly happy.

I kept comforting her the best I could, just like Kym was too. All we wanted to do was protect her, Daisy was due to get home from school anytime now and I knew Ali had to tell her at some point, so I guess there was no time like the present, hey?

'Everyone ok? You're both very quiet.' Kym said.. 'Yep, yeah. Fine' I smiled at her rubbing Ali's arm. 'Yeah, Yeah' She still wasn't 100% but that's to be expected. 

KYM'S POV.

I hated seeing Ali like this. I seriously thought Ben was the one for her, he seemed to make her so so happy. It seems that was further from the truth and he hardly seemed to care at all. She was pregnant with his baby and he ended up walking out on her, like she was yesterdays rubbish! Spineless! That's what he is! He's nowt to me anymore. I used to hold him in a friendly regard but now, nothing. Nothing felt towards him. Friend or otherwise. 

'Ey! shall we watch a film when Daisy and Polly get home from school?!' I smiled trying to make Ali smile just a little bit. 'Yeah, that would be nice, I just need to explain to her about the whole Ben situation first. I've got to get it out the way haven't I?' She half smiled. In all honesty, she looked exhausted.

ALI'S POV.

I looked at Chris, I could tell he wanted to say something. What it was, was anybody's guess. I was still trying to work it out, although I had a pretty good guess... 

'I have something to tell you..' he uttered in his soft tone all of a sudden. 'Well more of something to ask you..' He said again and my heart began to race.. was this the thing I was wanting him to say...
