The Only Exception (H. Styles/ Bwwm)

Chapter Twenty Five

"I guess we just have to see what she wants to do" I whispered and he just nodded looking over to Gabby. That was the last thing he said about her for the rest of the day but, that wasn't the last time I was dragged into it. I didn't want to be either.

This happened before we were even together so I couldn't get upset. But, I admit I was sad, it seemed just as things seemed to be going up, this threw us off track. I didn't want to come off selfish but, I was sad.

Something told me that conversation would start everything up. It would out in the open and we couldn't tiptoe around it anymore. In less than a few months, he would have a child here.

One thing I didnt know, both of them were looking at me for something. 

Not too long after my conversation with Harry, I received a call from Amber. She wanted to meet up and talk. I really didn't understand why but, I knew she was in a predicament.

I agreed though.

Seeing her instantly became a bit awkward. No matter how much we tried to be calm we knew shit was real. We tried to joke a bit but, was there any reason to try? I could see she was panicking, she lost sleep, she wasn't ready for this. 

"So..." I whispered out as she watched me silent. She sat across from me nervous, tired but she gave me a bright smile. I couldn't help but return it still wondering why exactly she wanted to meet up. 

Amber and I were never that close but, she was a sweet girl and that's why I couldn't say no to meeting up. I'm pretty sure I wasn't the first person she wanted to call about this but, all I could do was try to help. Maybe it's because I went through it too or she just needed someone. Either way, I didn't mind. She looked distraught and this was taking a toll on her.

Hair in a messy bun, eyes red and bags were forming under her eyes. I couldn't stop looking over her understanding the state that she was in but, maybe she was a bit worse. 

"Umm... thank you for coming to meet me. I- I just want to apologize for everything. For being like this and coming to the house unannounced to tell him... that. I know things seemed to be working out with you but, I just found out myself..." she whispered as she looked down and her face turned a tint of red as the tears formed.

She shook her head "This is messing it up for you two" she cried and I shook my head trying to comfort her. "It isn't" "It is. I finally know how you felt with Gabby. I'm stuck and I don't know what to do" she cried as I touch her arm taking a deep breath.

I knew a part of me didn't want me to say it but, it was the right thing. It was something I wish someone told me while I panicked with Gabby.

"It isn't bad if you decide to keep the baby Amber" She looked at me shocked freezing not expecting those words but it was true. "What about you and-" "It will change things... wont change us. He'll just have a- another child... that's it" I whispered feeling my heart ache a bit.

"It's wrong" "It isn't. Everything happens for a reason" "This worked out for you more than it will for me. You got the guy and he loves you" she snapped making me shut up. She was right but, I didn't think it would work out that way. I didn't even know the future would involve him but, he's here. Things could be different but, she could still find her happiness.

"Maybe we are really different when it came to this. You just wanted happiness and you got that but, before taking this step I wanted to have the husband, house then baby" "It can still work out, maybe not how you planned but so what. Don't think this is all bad for you. Either way, its not over. Whatever you choose is okay and you wont be alone in it" I reassured her as she wiped her tears nodding thinking. I sat there watching her going through every scenario and could tell she still wasn't sure.
