Loving The Wrong *Waterloo Road*

💎009💎

Ella sat in the living room and sighed. She had a few weeks off of work due to the crash. But all that she could feel was guilt over Tom and how he was in a coma. Ella hated it. She looked up as Alexis walked in and smiled. "Have you seen Tom?" She asked.

Alexis looked at her and frowned. "What makes you think that I've seen Tom?"

Ella rolled her eyes and looked at her. "You can fool yourself. But you can't fool me. I'm not stupid. I'm your sister and I know that you're still in love with Tom. You don't need to fool me over it," she said.

Alexis sighed and sat down. "I didn't plan it. It just happened. And Max has hardly touched me since I had Poppy. Tom was there and it happened. The last thing I want is to hurt Max but I'm afraid time is running out. Max is suspicious and it's all about to come out," Alexis said. 

Ella frowned and looked at her. "What do you mean?" She asked as she placed a hand on her small bump. She smiled. "Lex?"

"I'm pregnant. It's Tom's baby."

"Have you told him?" Ella asked. She was in shock. She couldn't believe what had happened. Alexis was pregnant.

Alexis shook her head. "I haven't had chance. I found out the morning of the crash. I didn't get to tell him. I don't know what to do," she said.

Ella smiled and looked at her. "Yeah you do. You need to do the right thing. That's all. I know that you're scared. But you need to. I found out the baby is a girl. I was going to name her Esmè-Lexie. After you," she said.

Alexis smiled as she hugged her sister. "We will get through this. I promise," Ella said. She knew that there was only so long she could keep the secret that Max was her baby's father for.

Ella sighed to herself as she answered the door. She frowned as she saw Max who had Poppy. "Alexis isn't here."

"I know. I came to see you. I wanted to see if you were okay. If you were both okay?" Max asked.

Ella rolled her eyes. "So now you care? You didn't care before. Or is it because of Alexis and Tom? And how you think something is going on? Just leave me alone Max and get out," Ella said. She was feeling annoyed.

Max looked at her and sighed. "I'm sorry. I made a mistake and I'm sorry. I still want you," he said as he placed a hand on her cheek.

Ella looked up at him for a moment. He leant in and kissed her. Ella found herself kissing him back for a moment. She pushed him away and glared. "Don't. Don't you dare. Just stay away from me," she spat.

She watched as he walked off. She ran a hand through her hair and sighed to herself. She didn't know what was happening with Max. But she knew she couldn't go there. Not when he had broken her heart.

But it was easier said than done when she was having his baby. He was her sister's boyfriend too. But for how long could Ella keep resisting him?
