Chapter 19

Don't Wake Me ~ Skillet
Broken Together ~ Casting Crowns

So here's the chapter you've been waiting for Elizabeth.

*Louis' P.O.V.

"Louis, come on in! Happy Birthday son!" Robert says.

"Thanks sir," I say forcing a smile on my face.

"She's in the kitchen helping her mother cook. I take it you two have some things you need to talk about?" He asks.

"Something like that." I say, walking with him to the kitchen. I attempt to stay quiet to see if they notice my presence, but it doesn't go as planned when I run into the trash can.

"Oh my! Louis! I'm so sorry!" Her mother apologizes over and over. "It's fine Stella. I promise. I wasn't watching where I was going." I say chuckling at her silliness.

"Happy Birthday, Louis. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to get you a present."

Really? I wonder why. Maybe it's because you're to busy secretly being pregnant.

"It's fine. Um, can I please steal your daughter for a little while?" I ask as nicely as I can, without snapping at someone.

"Yeah sure, Louis. What's up?" She says wiping her hands on the apron she's wearing, untying the knot that's in the back. I notice that she's struggling, and offer to help.

"We need to talk, and I prefer somewhere a little more private." I say hinting at importance of this next conversation. She hears the urgency in my voice and nods.

"Mom, Dad we'll be in my room." She says grabbing my hand and pulling me with her stopping at the bathroom. "I'll meet you there in a minute Louis. I really need to pee." She says, causing me to laugh.

Why am I laughing? I'm supposed to be mad at her.

The things she does to me, causes me to do weird things.

I walked into her room. On her nightstand she has a picture of us from the early stages of our relationship. It's a picture of her trying to take couple selfie and I refused to, so I started to bug her by pocking my face into the side of her face. After taking it she wanted to delete it because I "ruined" her shot, but I convinced her not to basically saying how I liked it cause it described us. I guess over time she became fond of it.

"Hey." She says, and I place the picture back in it's place. "You know that's my favorite picture of us." She says with a smile.

"Alyssa, we need to talk." I tell her, and the smile on her face is replaced with a look of concern.

"Yeah of course, what is it?"

"I just want to know why," I tell the girl that once had me head over heels in love with her.

"Why did you lie to me? I gave you opportunity to tell me the truth and you lied to my face!" I say with tear threatening to spill.

"Lou, please calm down and tell me what's wrong?" She says acting like she has no idea.

"Please don't play dumb with me! I know you know exactly what I'm talking about!" I raise my voice. I meant to stay calm, but it's hard. How do you think a guy is supposed to react when he finds out the girl he's madly in love with is pregnant, and won't tell him.

"Where-"

"Dammit Alyssa, just tell me why you didn't tell me you were pregnant!" I yell pounding my fist on the dresser, causing some items to fall.

"I didn't want you involved okay!" She shouts. "At first I was going to tell you, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I knew you were going to act like this!" She continues.

"You can't just hide something like this from the father!"

"Louis I wish you were the father if you were I never would've hid this from you!"

What?

"You fucking liar!" I shout

"How am I lying if I'm four months pregnant! I've only been back in the UK for two of them"

"You lied to me!"

"You don't honestly think I wanted this to happen do you?!" She yells back at me, her eyes beginning to swell up.

"I don't know what to believe anymore! What I do know is that I find something out like this, not even from you, from my sister!" I shout.

"Louis please would you just listen?" She asks.

"No you listen! You've had two months to tell me this, apparently everyone else has known. How come I wasn't the first to know! I was the first one you saw when you came back. You have sex with me then dump me in the morning, without a reason. How am I supposed to feel?" I yell at her.

"Why were you last to know? Because it's not your fucking child, and I knew you'd react this way! I just wanted to be a normal eighteen year old for as long as I could."

"So you were planning on never telling me?!" I accuse.

"No I was going to tell you Thursday. I was going to let you enjoy your birthday and Christmas, then tell you. I had two days to figure out how I was going to tell you. I was going to tell you everything!"

"Now everything makes since, why you didn't want to back. Everything, but here I was being oblivious to everything. Well I'm tired of this, so guess what?" I ask.

"We don't have to deal with each others shit anymore. I'm done Alyssa, I can't wait for you anymore." I say the words that break both of us.

*Alyssa's P.O.V.

"No Louis, please." I say. I don't know what to say, he can't leave me.

"Why do you care you don't love me." He spits. I haven't seen this Louis is a long time, and I'm scared that I may have lost him for good this time.

"You promised you wouldn't give up on me!" I shout tears spilling down my face now.

"Everyone makes promises they can't keep. Promises were meant to be broken." He says without any emotion showing.

"I'll get out of your hair now. You don't have to see me ever again. Goodbye Alyssa. " He saying, opening the bedroom door, slamming it before he leaves. For good this time.

When I hear the small conversation end and the sound of the front door close. I know it's over.

"Baby, are you okay?" My mom asks peaking her head in and I shake my head.

"It's over mom. He hates me!" I cry and she walks over to me, wrapping her arms around my shoulder, trying to soothe my heartbreak.

"Alyssa,"

"Mom I don't wanna hear how you were right. I lost him and it's my fault." I cry.

A/N: Yikes! That was intense. Who else is ready to cry? Louis really hates Alyssa right now doesn't he. Eh she deserves it.

What do you think Louis' going to do?

Did he mean it?

Who's the father?

I'm so proud of myself this chapter was 1,145 words, and I wrote it while in the car with my grandparents. Give me sound proof headphones, music and 2 days in the car I'm liable to write something.
