Once Bitten, Twice Shy.

Need some time.

"You haven't told him?" Kendall asked "No... how can I... When I'm not even sure I want to... keep it." I said "Oh Aaliyah..." She said placing her hand on mine "I'm so sorry." She said I felt the tears begin to form in my eyes. She scooted closer to me and wrapped her arms around me tight I cried into her shoulder for a while "You have to tell him." She finally said "I know..." I said "How far along?" She asked I looked up at her "A few months..." I said "Oh my gosh Aaliyah." She said

There was a knock on Kendall's hotel room door "It must be the girls..." She said I quickly wiped my face she gave me a worried look before she opened the door. The girls screamed in excitement hugging each other then they rushed over to me "I'm so happy you're here." Gigi said hugging me I smiled "Me too me too!" Bella said practically sitting on my lap as she hugged me. "I'm so excited to watch you guys tomorrow." I said happily "Ahh I'm so excited!" Bella gushed

We sat around girl talking for hours playing games and snacking Kendall began yawning "Well we better get to bed tomorrow is going to be crazy." She said the girls agreed "Would you guys be mad if I didn't stay and went back to my hotel?" I asked "Gotta get back to your man?" Gigi asked laughing I smiled "Oh you know..." I said "We understand." Gigi said with a smile "I'll walk you to the door." Kendall said

We got up and headed towards the door "If you need anything let me know please." She said "I will thank you but don't let this distract you... tomorrow is your day enjoy it!" I said "I will I'm kinda nervous." She said I smiled "good you should be." I said laughing "You'll do great and I'll see you tomorrow." I said she hugged me and I left.

Once I arrived back at the hotel I walked inside the room "I thought you we're staying with Kendall and the girls?" Justin asked as he laid on the couch watching TV "Just not feeling well..." I said he sat up and looked at me "Are you okay?" He asked "I'm just going to take a bath..." I said walking into the bathroom I started my water and let it run for a while I turned on some music and gently let myself slid down in the tub. I laid there thinking of everything the soft piano music filled the air then I heard the door open I rose up from the water and wiped my eyes "Mind if I join?" Justin asked, peeking his head in the door I smiled slightly and nodded scooting back in the tub he got undressed and sat the other end of the tub. "How are you feeling?" He asked

I slid down in the tub further "Fine." I said he reach for me I turned and laid in his arms we sunk down in the water together I laid there in his arms the piano soothing us. "Aaliyah are you crying?" He asked I wiped my eyes I didn't even realize the tears. "I... um..." I stuttered "Are you feeling sick?" He asked "It's more complicated than that..." I said "What do you mean?" He asked I sat up and faced him "What's wrong?" He questioned "I don't want to tell you..." I said "Aaliyah you're scaring me what's happening?" He asked "Promise me after you know you won't try to change my mind..." I said "Well I can't agree to that I have no idea what you're talking about..." He replied "But I'll do my best..." He added "Justin... I'm not sick because of stress..." I said "What is it then?" He asked

I stared into his eyes " Justin... I...I'm pregnant..." I said letting the tears fall from my eyes.

"What?" He asked, I wiped my eyes "What did you say?" He asked my eyes met his I didn't say anything "When... What... Why didn't you tell me?" He asked "Justin... I... Don't even know if I want to keep it..." I said "what do you mean?" He asked "I've been looking at other options..." I said "Without talking to me?" He asked raising his voice "It's my body... my decision..." I said "This is my baby too!" He said angry he stood up and grabbed a towel "Where are you going?" I asked "I just need space." He said walking out of the bathroom and slamming the door. I closed my eyes and slid back down into the water "ugh!" I groaned from under the water.

I stayed in there for a while letting Justin cool off, I got out of the tub and wrapped in a towel. I dried off and put on a pair of Justin's sweatpants and my bra then I walked into the bedroom. He was lying in bed facing the wall, I walked over and laid down beside him the room was silent the tension could be cut with a knife. "Justin..." I started "Why didn't you tell me?" He interrupted "Not just for the fact that I would try to change your mind but so you wouldn't have to go through this alone..." He said "I don't know I was scared..." I said "But we're supposed to go through these things together..." He said I nodded "I know..." I said

He sighed and rolled over facing the wall I hate going to bed angry but we both just need some time.

The next morning I woke up the day went on neither of us really saying much, we got ready to go to the show it wasn't until we arrived that he finally spoke "We should find the girls before the show." He said I nodded and followed him we got past security and walked backstage pink robes filled the room we searched through the crowd looking "Aaliyah!" I heard my name from behind me I turned to see Rome one of the Victoria Secret models I've known her for a couple years "Hi!" I said hugging her "How have you been?" She asked "Good and you?" I questioned "So good I'm so excited and nervous!" She said "You'll do great... Oh this is Justin." I said "Yeah we haven't officially met." She said extending her hand "Aaliyah!!!" I heard again Kendall, Gigi, and Bella rushed over "I'm so excited!" I said hugging them they all were talking I have no idea what either of them said but all happy excited things I suppose. "Hey buddy!" Kendall said nudging Justin he slightly smirked "Hey... Aaliyah I'm going to go sit down." He said before walking away Gigi and Bella got pulled away to do interviews "He's grumpy..." Kendall said "Yeah... my fault I guess..." I said looking down at the floor Kendall eyes grew wide "Did you tell him?" She asked I nodded "I'm sorry." She said "It's fine don't worry about that you're about t walk in the Victoria's Secret Fashion show!" I said excited "I know! Definitely... nervous!" She said I smiled "Don't be you'll be perfect" I said "Thanks! Well we better go get ready!" She said "See you out there!" I said hugging her

I walked back out and found Justin I sat down beside him the show started... every piece was amazing the lingerie was gorgeous Kendall, Gigi, and Bella did awesome you could feel the spark when Bella walked past Abel as he performed. Hopefully they get past their differences and rekindle their love.

Finally the show was over we said good bye to the girls and congratulated them then we went to the jet and headed back home.
