Shailene Point of View
I stand in the airplane bathroom for over 15 minutes trying to pull myself together. This is so unfair. I love him. And I can't have him.
He's confusing me more than anything. What is he doing?
A knock on the door. "Shai? Can you come out please? You're starting to worry me."
I sigh loudly. He's been knocking at the door since I ran in here. "Leave me alone, Theo."
The door handle starts shaking, he's trying to get in. Good thing I locked it. I turn my attention to my reflection in the mirror. I don't even look that bad. I splash some cold water on my face and smooth down my hair. I look fine.
Another knock on the door. Angrily, I unlock it and screech "What!" At the person in front of me.
It's not who I thought it was. I notice that Theo is in his seat with his laptop in his lap. And in front of me stands Maeve, the flight attendant, with a look of utter shock and confusion on her face. And fear. She's scared.
"Excuse me, ma'am. I didn't mean to interrupt. It's just..you were in there a long time."
Now I feel stupid. "No..I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else."
I move to sit across from Theo. He grins at me. I smile back. "Bet you feel stupid now." He mutters. We both burst out laughing.
The plane shakes and rumbles and I start to feel dizzy. I still feel pregnant.
I know I took that test and it was negative, but everything else still points to me being pregnant.
I dip my head and put it between my legs. I need the dizziness to go away.
"Shai you alright?"
This just reminds me that I should probably tell him. Or maybe not? What's the use in telling him if the test was negative?
What do I do?
He puts his hand on my shoulder but I can't take it anymore. I can feel my breakfast coming back up. I sprint to the bathroom again.

When we get off the plane we do press and then get ready for the premiere. I wear a gorgeous dress and Theo looks just as handsome as ever. Before we step onto the red carpet, he whispers to me. "Leave your door open tonight." I don't give him an answer.
Then while posing for pictures, just before I walk away to let him do his solo photos, I wink at him to let him know okay, and he nods back in response.
Looks like it's late night chats for the two of us tonight.
