"Hi... Oh my gosh!" You gasp when Gigi opens the door, showing a prominent belly.

"Surprise!" She laughs patting her baby bump before pulling you into a hug.

"Yeah, surpris"Hi... Oh my gosh!" You gasp when Gigi opens the door, showing a prominent belly.

"Surprise!" She laughs patting her baby bump before pulling you into a hug.

"Yeah, surprise! My gosh..." You smile.

"I know... Come in! Hey Frank." She waves to your dog, guiding you into her house.

"Look who's here!" Zayn smiles when you enter the living room.

"Zayn, hi!" You give him a hug, "I missed you guys."

"Wait, so there's a guy in your place?" Zayn raises an eyebrow as he offers you a cup of tea.

"Yeah, it's just a mix-up with the rental company, it's fine." You assure.

"Why don't you come stay with us?" Gigi suggests.

"That's very sweet, but I've already paid for the house. They're not going to push me out, don't worry. It's just for one night, and plus I got Frank to protect me, right?" You look at the animal, who makes a little noise as if he's agreeing, and you all laugh.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay. It was my fault mainly. He wanted a commitment and I just wasn't ready. I feel like I'm not ready for anything."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, I've been out of school for over a year, and I feel like I'm lost. And I see you and Zayn, and you're having a baby..." You smile, putting a hand over her belly, "You're getting on with your life. And I'm still at home, working at my parents' accounting business."

"It's a good job."

"I know, it's just, it's their job, not mine. I'm afraid I'll wake up someday and I'll see my mother staring back at me in the mirror."

"Okay, so what do you wanna do with your life?" She asks softly.

"I have no idea. At all..."
