Night ⇒ l.h

Relief

Calum stared at me, completely and utterly shocked.

"W-what?!"

A new roll of years flooded out and he pulled me closer.

Later, when my tears died down and I could actually speak, Calum said what I didn't want to hear.

"You have to tell Luke."

I nodded and bit my lip.

Calum was right, I did.

Calum left and I lay on my couch, confused and sad.

I hated myself for this.

Luke was 19 and now he was a freaking dad, because of me!

I had done this to him.

I'd done this to my entire family & friends.

Finally, I worked up the courage to text Luke.

"Luke, please come over xoxo."

He replied with a yes and I took a deep breath.

After grabbing. glass of water, I went upstairs and collapsed on my bed.

Five minutes later, I heard Luke entering the house.

Fuck, I was so nervous.

"Babe?" He called.

"Up here!" I shakily yelled back.

Luke made his way upstairs and walked in.

"Hey," He threw his car keys on the side table and flopped next to me.

Drawn by nerves, I stood up and took a drink of my water.

"Come here." Luke murmured.

I smiled weakly and let him slide his arms around my waist, resting his stomach against my stomach.

Then he pulled me down onto his lap and went to kiss me, but I put my head down so he couldn't kiss me.

"What's the matter?" Luke whispered.

My mouth went dry and my stomach filled with butterflies.

"I-I..." I couldn't say it.

"Zoe?" His hands pulled up my head.

"Tell me." He almost begged.

I pushed off his lap and stood in front of him.

"L-Luke." I started crying.

"What?!" He demanded. He looked worried about me.

"I-I'm pregnant."

※

Luke had the same reaction as Calum.

He started rubbing his hands against his thighs and breathing heavily.

"Say something." I whispered between tears.

I turned and looked in the mirror, at my red puffy eyes.

Luke glanced up at me in the reflection, slowly standing up and walking over to me.

I expected him to say sorry and then leave, like most people.

But he didn't.

Luke embraced me from behind and rested him chin on my shoulder.

"You'll be a great mum." He whispered, smiling to himself.

I started crying from happiness as I spun around and kissed him.

"Luke, I love you so fucking much!"

He started crying a little as he hugged me tighter.

"I love you, too."

We lay on the bed, intwining our hands and hugging.

"When should we tell our parents?" I asked.

Luke sighed.

"Soon. You can do it a litt bit after they get back, I'll be there with you."

I smiled and squeezed his hand.

"My parents...My dad will get angry. I'll drop out of the school so I can stay here with you, and we can visit them in Sydney and talk to Michael and Ashton."

"Luke! You can't drop out of the music school! You worked so hard for this!" I said in disbelief.

"There's no way I'm leaving you here alone to deal with this alone." He said.

"It's gonna be difficult. Even though we have another term of school, then we graduate, we still have college and jobs. But we can not go to college."

Luke smiled at me, pushing a piece of hair behind my ear.

Suddenly, my stomach lurch making me run to the bathroom.

Luke ran in behind me and pulled my hair back, just as I puked several times.

Luke was right.

This was gonna be difficult.
