Isla
Victoria, Luna and I were having a girls night watching movies and eating popcorn. It has been two weeks since Will had left, we kept in touch via FaceTime and stuff. He hadn't called in a few days, maybe he was resting and I texted him.
"Are you sure this long distance is working between you two? It can't be easy." Luna said and I nodded.
" It is hard. Because only love can hurt like this." I said while taking a bite out of my chip and I felt a wave of nausea hit me. I rushed into the bathroom and threw up. I had been throwing up a lot this week.
Victoria and Luna rushed into the bathroom, I needed to throw up again and Luna held my hair away from my face. They did it up in a bun. I sighed while flushing the toilet.
"Isla you've been throwing up a lot at work, we're worried about you." Luna says.
"I could be coming down with something." I said and then I walked toward my calendar. I saw that I had missed my period.
"Have you taken a pregnancy test? I got a test in my bag. I actually wanted to test myself as well, but before I could take it, I got my period. Maybe you're the lucky one then" Victoria said while walking off. Luna and I cracked up with laughter.
Victoria handed me the box and the girls left me, with shaky hands I opened the box. I peed on the stick and placed it on the sink counter and called the girls. What if I was pregnant? I was terrified, what would I tell Will? It felt like an eternity passed as the timer went off.
"Isla?" I heard Luna ask me, I looked at the girls.
"I can't do it! Luna you tell me." I told the girl in front of me while Victoria held my hand.
"It's p-positive! You're pregnant." Luna said with a smile and I just cried in Victoria's arms.
"How can I tell Will? He's touring and on the other side of the world! He can't be a father to the child." I said while Victoria was trying to calm me down.
"You can't be certain these tests do lie, make an appointment to see the doctor!" Luna said. The girls left, so I was alone while I sat on the floor leaning against my bed holding the test in my hand. Milo padded over to me, I took a deep breath.
"What am I going to do Milo? How should I go about this?" I whispered to my furry friend, while putting my head into my hands and sighing deeply. My phone was ringing and I didn't want to talk to anyone.
I stood up in front of the mirror and I would have a part of me and Will growing in my belly. If it were a boy or a girl, I could imagine the little curls and it made me sigh. What if he wanted me to get rid of the baby? What if he wouldn't want us?
I sat in the doctors waiting room, Will was calling me but I declined the call. I wasn't ready to talk to him at the moment.
"Miss Archey Dr Conti is ready to see you." The receptionist called out, as I had filled out the medical information form and handed it to her. I headed toward the room, it felt like I was approaching my impeding doom.
"I've been feeling a bit nauseous and I've missed my period and wanted to verify if I was pregnant." I said with a deep breath and the doctor nodded.
They took my blood and gave me their own pregnancy test. The doctor came back.
"Congratulations Miss Archey, you're three weeks pregnant. Is the father of the baby in the picture?" Dr Conti asks me. I sat on the chair near his desk.
"No he isn't aware, I just wanted to verify if I was pregnant." I said and she nodded.
"Will he ever be a part of the picture?" She asks while writing a couple of things down.
"I am scared! I'm here studying art and didn't expect this to happen." I whisper.
"Life's unpredictable. I will prescribe you prenatal vitamins and you can come back in two weeks." Dr Conti said and gave me the script. I scheduled the appointment for three weeks. After the doctor's appointment, I got to work and sighed while hanging up my leather jacket and bag. I walked inside and saw Michel running over to me.
"Miss Isla! Come come, let me show what I drew." The little curly haired boy says while holding my hand, although I felt exhausted. Michel gave me a lot of strength, I wondered if my baby would be like him. Would she or he have curly hair? Be a carbon copy of Will, it would be the cutest thing. I was so nervous to tell Will and how could I tell him? Especially the band was taking off, and he would be held back.
"So what is that you drew?" I asked him, while kneeling next to Michel's table.
"I drew you, Will, me and Milo the day that we spent together. Where is Will?" He asks me.
"Oh he is in America right now playing shows, would you like to see?" I asked him and Michel's face lit up and I pulled out my iPhone and showed him the video of Kyle and Will performing Lifeblood.
"Can I go someday?" Michel asks me and I laughed.
"You should ask mummy that question. Is this drawing for me?" I asked him and he nodded.
"Yes it is for you!" He said with a smile, I looked at the little child after the day I had, he was so considerate. We were putting the children down for a nap, while Victoria and Luna were standing with me.
"So what happened at the doctors?" Asks Luna and I inhaled deeply while I drank decaffeinated black tea and explained.
"I'm three weeks pregnant, I have to go back in two weeks in order to get checked out." I said, while sighing.
"Are you keeping the baby? Have you told Will?" Victoria asks me with concern and I sighed.
"No I haven't, and I don't know how to tell him over the phone about the pregnancy and what if he doesn't want me anymore? I am so scared guys." I whisper while crying and Victoria walked me outside.
"Will doesn't seem like a bad guy, I'm sure that he understands. Isla the man loves you, he flew across the pond to see you, I am sure he is thinking of you all the time!" Victoria said, I nodded while I sobbed.
"Isla you're going to be a wonderful mother. But don't push him away Isla. You can't hide this forever, he will find out the truth." Victoria said.
"The only way I could hide it is have an abortion or just put up the baby up for the adoption." I blurt out while Victoria handed me tissues and I sobbed.
"Isla you're not thinking straight!" Victoria said and we headed inside and looked after the children
Will
We were heading onto the next state to play in New Orleans, I loved it there. But my mind lingered on Isla. Was she alright? We had spoken for a while but today since we were on tour. We couldn't get in touch with her. I was scrolling through my phone, while we headed inside.
"Will this is so unlike you, you're very quiet today. Is everything okay with you?" Asks Mike while he sat on the couch in the lounge area of the bus.
"Everything is fine, just thinking about something." I said while locking my iPhone while playing with my thumbs.
"Are you thinking about Isla?" Asks Mike and I nodded, while we glanced at each other.
"Yes, she lingers on my mind. It is not easy man, I am sensing she is withdrawing from me. I am terrified, it isn't easy." I said, while I ran my hand through my curly hair.
"Long distance is never easy man, I usually miss my girlfriend and dog, sometimes we miss our homes. But Isla is accepting of your job, she loves you man. She'll come back to you. Maybe she is going through something." Mike explains and he did make sense.
"Yes I think you are right." I said with a smile, while we glanced at each other.
"How did she react when you were in Verona?" Asks Mike and I remembered in how shocked she was in. I missed her so damn much.
"She was so damn happy, oh wait she found a stray cat named Milo." I said while unlocking my phone and showing him a photo of the black and white tuxedo cat which made him laugh.
"See you two are perfect for each other!" Mike said while he handed me back the phone, while he scrolled through Isla and Milo together it made me smile looking back at those photos. Austin strolled in and he looked deep in thought.
"What's up dude? You good?" I asked Austin, and he nods.
"Just missing Isla man, it has not been easy but she says that the art program is finishing up soon and she is doing great." Austin said while I showed her photos of Milo and Isla, Austin was happy.
"This is so damn cute and wholesome! You two are the perfect match. Our rat King and Queen!" Austin said and I laughed.
"Oh shut up!" I said while nudging Austin away from me. We got into the show and kicked ass. I got off the stage all sweaty and took a shower and decided to send a goodnight text because she would be sleeping by the time I would be off stage.
"Killer show man!" I heard Kyle say while we hung out a little bit and we had a lot of fun, and interacting with each other. But I wasn't in the mood to party, today I just wanted to be alone and in a mellow mood.
"Hey do you want to join in for a party?" The guys ask me and I shook my head no.
"No I don't want to, I'm tired!" I said and walked off toward my bunk area and watched some movies on Netflix.
