"How was your lunch sweetie?" Liam asked as I got home.

"It was good." I said quietly, trying not to draw attention to the fact that I was feeling uneasy.

"What'd you do?" He asked, putting an arm around me.

"I had lunch with Ed." I answered like it was nothing.
Here we go.

Liam's expression dropped, "Edward?"

"Yeah. Edward."

"Why?" He snapped, taking his arm off of me to look at me.

"Because he invited me." I answered, "Liam, chill. It's okay."

"No it's not okay. He's your ex. You two have a history." Liam stated.

"Exactly. He's my ex for a reason. And it WAS in the past." I explained.

"Alex I don't like when you get like this." He said sternly.

"Like what?" I asked, feeling moody.

"You get all defensive with me."

"Well I don't like you like this either." I frowned.
"You're too jealous sometimes."

"Sorry that I care ?" He replied in a sarcastic tone.

"You need to realize that I love you no one else." I answered, "Now can you cut the crap?" I asked, suddenly getting angry.
Ugh we love hormones.

"Jeez, who pissed in your coffee this morning?"

I let out a grunt, "Can you just not be a jerk please?! And for your information..I HAD LEMON WATER"

"Alex, are you on your period?" He asked, realizing I was extremely touchy.

"Liam Payne. Don't ever ask me that question. Just because I'm in a bad mood doesn't mean I'm on my period!" I replied, walking away.
Liam let me go and I walked into our bedroom, shutting the door behind me.
He's being so stupid. I don't like Edward. I love Liam. I've only loved him since we got together.

"Alex. You're acting like a teenager." Liam called outside the door.

"Well sorry I'm not perfect." I replied bluntly, feeling tears sting my eyes.

Liam let out a sigh, "Alex. Please open the door."

"No. I want to be alone. I'm taking a nap." I stated.

Liam breathed out again, "Okay. If you need anything, I'll be in the living room."

I sat on the bed looking at the ground.
Damn. I really should tell Liam. I should come clean and tell everyone I'm pregnant. Keeping it in isn't helping. If anything it's making me more stressed.
And the whole talk Ed and I had? Did that mean he still had feelings for me? Does he still love me? He never really mentioned his feelings...only that I'm not his anymore. He can't possibly still love me after five years right?

After a good 30 minutes of just sitting there thinking, I came out of my room. Sure enough Liam was in the living room with my dad watching the game.
Should I tell them?

"GO! YES! SCORE!" Liam shouted.

I better not bug them....

"Hey Alex." Mom smiled as I walked into the kitchen. "Liam said you were taking a nap. Everything okay?"

"Yeah." I lied, "I was just kind of tired and needed to lay down."

"You're not sick anymore?" She asked.

"No. It passed." I smiled, "I feel good now."

"We'll I'm glad." She said, "How was lunch with Harry?"

"It was okay." I lied.
Please don't realize that I'm lying....

She looked up from the paper that she was reading, "What happened? You sound unsure."
She was lowering her voice so the boys wouldn't hear us.

"Well I didn't exactly have lunch with Harry." I started.

"Go on."

"Edward took me out to lunch." I explained.

"Oh."

"He just wanted to make up for being a jerk at dinner. Nothing big." I explained, sitting down next to her.

Mom gave me a strange look, "Try not to get too involved with that boy."

"What are you trying to say?" I asked crossing my arms.

She gave me her signature mom look, "Just be careful."

"We're just friends it's okay." I said, feeling a little upset now.

"Okay." Is all she said.

Liam and my dad started yelling again at the TV in excitement.
God they're loud!

I decided to take Liam a drink and snack to show I was okay now and I was sorry. Just as I got next to him, he extended his arms out as the team made another goal. His arm hit the cup, sending it all over my chest and I dropped the glass, shattering it.

Liam gave me a dirty look, "Ugh Alex. Be careful."

Really?! Are you kidding?!
Tears swelled in my eyes and I felt my face turning red.
"Fine be like that then, you can clean this up yourself!" I cried, storming out of the room and into the bathroom.
Fucking jerk.

"Alex!" Liam called after me.

"Screw you!" I yelled back, slamming the door.

I looked at my now stained shirt in the mirror.
Great.
I pulled it off of me and threw it to the floor in anger.
Stupid little-

"Alex?" Liam knocked on the door. "Baby.."

"Don't 'baby' me." I shouted.

"I didn't mean it, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted that way." He apologized. "Please open the door."

I waited for a few seconds. I wasn't sure if I wanted to interact with him.
Sniffling, I reached out and unlocked the door.
Liam came inside and looked at me with sad eyes. "Alex."

"What?" I said in an angry tone.

"Don't cry." He said, grabbing onto my hands. "I'm an ass I know."

"Yeah." I agreed.

Lim chucked a bit, "please forgive me." He held my hands gently and pulled me closer into him, kissing my cheek.

"Why? You-"

"I was a jerk, I know. That was not called for." He interrupted, "I don't like when you're upset."

"Okay. I forgive you." I said, rolling my eyes.

"I'm sorry." He smiled and kissed my forehead. "Now come on, let's get you cleaned up."
