Scars Left Untold

Gabby

As we lay down in bed, I'm half asleep when I realize we forgot to tell someone.

"Oh shit." I say sitting straight up in bed.

"What? Are you going to be sick?" Jack says sitting up as well.

"No, we forgot to tell someone." I say looking at him horrified.

"What?" He says a bit confused and just on cue Lavender starts to cry. His eyes go wide. "Fuck."

"Yeah." I say.

"We should tell her in the morning." He says getting up to take care of Lavender.

"Yeah. That's gonna be a conversation." I say laying back down. I stare at the ceiling and think about what's gonna happen tomorrow.

*Skip to the following morning*

I get out of bed and put my slippers on. I walk to the bathroom and put my hair up a messy bun. My phones goes off and I go back the bed, where my phone was laying. It was a text from my mom just regarding cancelling our summer plans, which I would get to later.

Jack was already up and on a call with the boys from the band. I head down stairs where I find him still on the call. As soon as he notices me, he gets of the call.

"Hey guys, I gotta go. We have to tell Gabby still." Jack says.

"Jesus, good luck man." Corbyn says.

"Yeah, let us know how it goes." Zach says.

"Will do. Bye." Jack says. I hear a collective 'bye' from the boys as he exists the call.

"So, when do we wanna tell her?" I ask him.

"Better sooner than later." He says.

"Yeah, I guess your right." I say. I sit down next to him. I send her a quick text, asking if she can call. She says yeah and Jack calls her on his laptop.

"Hey guys! Whats up?" She responds perky.

"Hey Gabby, we need to tell you something." I reply.

"Okay? Your worrying me." She says chuckling nervously. 

"We didn't plan this." Jack says. Gabby looks even more scared.

"I'm pregnant, and we had a doctor confirm this." I say. Gabby doesn't say anything. She just stares blankly at the screen. We sit in an awkward silence.

Jack breaks the silence by saying, "Gabby?"

"Can I talk to Jack alone? Please?" She says very monotone. 

"Uh, sure." I say. "I'll go check on Lavender." I say. I leave the room, wondering why she'd wanna talk to him alone.

*Jack's POV*

As soon as Bella is all the ways up the stairs, Gabby starts yelling.

"Are you fucking serious?" She starts yelling at me. 

"This wasn't planned!" I defend.

"Lavender wasn't either!" She replies, giving a fair argument. She glares at me through the screen. "She's not just a rebound girl, right?"

"What? No! She's the real deal." I tell her.

"Just, don't put her in the same situation that we're in." She tells me. 

"I won't." I reply. 

"No, I'm telling you to marry her. Don't even risk putting her in this situation that we're in. She's great, even better than I ever was or will be. Don't let her go." Gabby tells me. "She's good with Lavender and we get along great."

"Gabby, that's a bit much. We haven't been dating for that long." I tell her a bit flustered at her response.

"Look, I have to go. But I swear to god, if you put Bella in the same situation that we're in-" She starts.

"Okay! Okay! I get it!" I tell her.

"Okay, good. Congratulations are in order then." Gabby says smiling.

"Thanks then." I say.

"Okay, I gotta go for real now." She says.

"Alright. Bye." I say. She ends the call and I'm left a bit dazed. I text the boys telling them how it went, then head upstairs to tell Bella.

*Bella's POV*

"So, how'd it go?" I ask Jack as he came in the room. I had just changed Lavender into a cute little dress. 

"Pretty okay overall. She yelled at me at first, then told me not to let you go." He says coming next to me. 

"I don't plan on letting you go." I tell him.

"I don't either." He smiles at me and kisses my temple.
