My fathers best friend (Waterloo road)

Sixteen

Ruby stood outside of simons flat as she waited for him. He walked out of the house and sighed as she saw her waiting for her

"what are you doing here if sue catches you here she will know that there is something going on" Simon said as ruby looked to him and rolled her eyes

"I don't care about sue, I need to talk to you over your best friend and his affair" ruby said. Ruby was angry, she was angry at her father and she was angry at Simon for all of how he treated her since she found out that she was pregnant. She was scared and she felt so alone

"What? Your father he had an affair?" Simon asked as ruby nodded.

"Are you okay" he asked as she looked to him and rolled her eyes

"don't act like you care, you probably knew, he is your best friend after all" ruby spat as Simon sighed

"come on, come inside and we can talk. I know that you are scared but I promise I didn't know a thing, I've hardly seen your father since that dinner party you know when we ended up in the bathroom" he said as ruby looked to him and smirked at the memory of it.

"Oh I remember that well" she said as he Looked to her and smirked

Ruby walked into the house and sighed as she placed a hand on her stomach as he looked to her and smiled "have you made a decision over the baby?" He asked as she sighed

"I know I have to make it but I can't, it changes everything you could loose your career because of it and i don't want you to, I don't want to loose you at all but I don't know if I can be a mum but the thought of going through with termination, I was brought up to do the right thing and my mum, my family don't believe in terminations" ruby said as Simon sighed, he could see how scared that she was. Rubys home life was falling apart and she was scared. He walked over to her and smiled

"I've been an idiot, I'm sorry I shouldn't of acted like a jerk and I didn't mean it I'm just scared it's a baby and I'm going to be a father" Simon said as he walked over to her and placed a hand on her stomach and looked to her as she frowned

"what are you saying Simon?" She asked as he looked to her and smiled

"I don't know how but let's have this baby, we will find a way" Simon said as ruby looked to him and smiled as he placed a hand on her cheek and leant in and kissed her
