You're Insecure Don't Know What For

Chapter 18: I'm Sorry, What?

*Erin’s Point Of View*

He looked up at me with confusion on his face. How could he not remember me? I don’t understand.

Me-You, you don’t remember me?

Max-No. Should I?

Me-Well we did go to high school together.

Max-Oh I’m sorry, let me explain. I was in a boating accident and lost most of my memory, so I really don’t remember much of high school.

Me-Oh, well uh I’m glad you’re doing better. It was nice to see you again Max.

Max-It was good to see you too…

Me-Rachel.

Max-Rachel.

I gave him a small wave and walked away. As soon as I was out of sight I leaned against the wall and slid to the ground. How is this possible? He was dead, well I guess he wasn’t. I just don’t understand why nobody told me. I mean I was a major part of his life. I needed to call Louis.

Louis-Hey babe! What’s up?

Me-I have a little break between classes. But I need you to do a favor for me.

Louis-Sure what is it?

Me-Can you pick me up after my class? It ends at 1.

Louis-Yeah of course. Is everything okay?

Me-Not really. I’ll explain everything to you later okay? I love you.

Louis-I love you too.

I ended the phone call before he could say anything else. I know that I need to tell him everything, but I also needed to work some stuff out by myself.

*Louis Point of View*

Something was definitely wrong. I knew from the instant she called me that nothing was okay. I hated waiting though. It was 11:30 when she called meaning I had to wait and hour and a half for it to be 1. Thank God it was time. I pulled up to the campus to pick her up and before I could even think she came and jumped into the car.

Erin-Hey Lou.

Me-Hi, are you alright?

Erin-Can we just get to my flat?

I simply nodded and began driving. I have no clue as to what happened today, but I knew that it had to be pretty massive for her not to tell me. We have been back together for almost four weeks and we told each other everything; after what happened we did not want any more secrets to tear us apart. A few minutes later we pulled up to the flat and before I could get out Erin locked the doors.

Me-What are you doing?

Erin-I’m sorry that I’ve been weird since I called you. It’s just that I ran into someone today.

Me-Who was it?

Erin-Max.

I barely heard her, and so I figured I heard wrong.

Me-Did you say Max?

All she did was nod her head. No wonder she’s been acting odd. He’s dead.

Me-But Max is dead, are you sure you didn’t imagine it?

Erin-I’m positive. I even talked to him and he didn’t even remember who I was.

I reached over and grabbed her hand.

Me-I’m sorry love, but I promise we will work everything out.

She gave me a weak smile and unlocked the doors. We made our way up the front steps when we heard the yelling. Uh oh. I looked at Erin and she quickly pulled her keys out and unlocked the door. What we saw was the biggest fight ever.

*Rachel’s Point Of View*

A few minutes earlier.

Everything is great; school went well and now I was lying here with harry. I still haven’t told him my news, but I think I have to soon; like maybe now.

Me-Harry? I need to tell you something.

He sat up and looked at me. He didn’t seem concerned though, things have been weird with him lately.

Harry-Okay, but I have to tell you something first.

I looked at him and slightly nodded.

Harry-So I know we have been seeing each other for a while lately, and it has been plenty of fun, but I think our little fling has to stop.

My heart stopped beating, I swear to God it did. Why was he doing this? He only thought we were a fling? I managed to mumble at him.

Me-What?

Harry-I said this has to stop, you didn’t honestly think I wanted a relationship? Flings are more my style.

I was over the shock of what he said; now I was just pissed. He led me on for months and expected me to think it was all just a fling? He got up and made to leave but I stopped him.

Me-A fling? You want me to act like this was a fucking fling?! Especially after you playing with me these past months?!

Harry-Please, you were toying with me just as much.

Me-So you faked all those emotions? Did you even mean anything you said?

Harry-Yeah actually I did mean it. But I don’t see us working out so well yea.

He shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave.

Me-You are a fucking coward Harry Styles!

He whipped around and his eyes were lit with a fiery passion, just not the good kind.

Harry-WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!

Me-YOU HEARD ME! YOU ARE A FUCKING COWARD! YOU ARE SCARED OF YOUR FEELINGS! SCARED THAT YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY FALL IN LOVE!

Harry-THAT IS COMPLETE RUBBISH! BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I’D RATHER BE A COWARD THEN A FILTHY WHORE!

Me-WHAT?! SAY IT ONE MORE TIME STYLES! JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS!

Harry-YOU. ARE. A. FILTHY. WHORE.

I walked over and smacked him across the face. He was going to say something more but Louis came and pulled him out of the house. I hadn’t even noticed that he and Erin were here. As soon as Harry was gone I broke down crying; Erin came over and pulled me into a hug.

Erin-Shhh. It’s okay Rachel. Stop crying, please.

Louis came back inside and sat down on the couch, wiping his hand down his face. Erin pulled me over to the couch and sat me down, while she went next to Louis.

Erin-Well at least you don’t have to explain the fight to us.

I just glared at her. She may have been through the “break-up” with Louis, but he never said anything like that to her. It wasn’t fair.

*Erin’s Point of View*

That was tough to watch. Harry and Rachel are normally so lovey-dovey and flirty that it makes me want to throw up. I don’t understand what happened. Rachel was now curled up in a ball crying. I looked up to Lou for help but he looked as lost as I was. I took a deep breath and tried to talk to her again.

Me-Rachel? Why are you so upset? You should be angry at what he said to you.

She looked up at us with tears stains down her face.

Rachel-I would be mad but it’s to hard when I love him and I-I-

She was stopped by more tears.

Louis-When you what?

Rachel-When I’m pregnant.

My jaw dropped. She couldn’t be, there is no way. Okay well I see how but I thought they were smarter then that. I saw Louis’ jaw and eyes were wide open as well.

Me-You what?

Rachel-I’m pregnant. With Harry’s baby.
