You were pregnant?

One

*Ariella's P.O.V.*
"That's like the millionth time you vomited this week, Ari." Harry told me. "I've realised!" I snapped walking out the bathroom.
Harry looked hurt which made me feel bad. "I'm sorry." I sighed. "I know you didn't mean it. Come here." He said with his arms out. I walked into his arms and hugged him.
"Ariella, you need to go to a doctor." He told me for like the 7th time today. "Fine, I'll go this afternoon." I said giving in because I knew he wasn't going to give up. "And I'll come with you." He finalised.
Soon his phone's ringtone echoed through the room. Harry pulled it out and answered it. "Hello?" He asked. "What?... Now?... Yeah, okay... Bye." He hung up.
"What was that about?" I asked. "I need to go to the studio. I can't come with you to the doctors." He sighed. "Then we'll go another day." I said. "No, you'll go by yourself today." He said sternly. "Harry!" I whined. "Ari, please? For me?" He asked. "For you." I said giving in.
"We'll leave the house together and I'll give you a lift there." He told me. "Okay. I'll get dressed." I said. He nodded walking to the dresser. "I'll change here and you in the bathroom?" He asked. "Sure." I replied. I grabbed some clothes from the dresser and walked into the bathroom.
I stripped down to my underwear and bra and stared at my figure in the mirror. Wow, I'm getting fat. I have been eating a lot lately. It doesn't look like normal fat though. I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Are you dressed?" Harry called from the other side of the bathroom door. "Almost!" I yelled back even though I wasn't dressed at all.
I sighed and diverted my attention back to getting dressed. I changed into this. (http://www.polyvore.com/kimi_ootori/set?id=118549230) I quickly put some make up on and walked out of the bathroom.
"Let's go." He said, grabbing my hand and then we left the apartment. We got into the car and he drove me to the hospital. We stayed quiet all the way there.
"I'll see you later." I said and pecked him on the cheek. "Yeah, I guess." He said slowly. I nodded confused and exited the car.
I walked into the hospital and went to the front desk. "Hi, can I make an appointment?" I asked. "Sure. What's the problem?" The lady asked. "I've been vomiting a lot lately and I've been having really bad cramps." I explained. She started typing. "The doctor will come out in 5 minutes. Name?" She asked. "Ariella Reagan." I replied. "Take a seat Ms. Reagan." She smiled.
I sat down on one of those uncomfortable plastic chairs and waited for the doctor. I was really nervous, and by really I meant really, really nervous. I didn't know what was wrong with me. What if it was bad. I got lost in my thoughts until the doctor called my name.
"Ariella Reagan?" She asked. I looked at her and got up. I followed the doctor into the room. I hope its nothing serious.
When we got to the room I sat down along with the doctor. "So Ariella, what seems to be the problem?" She asked. "I've been vomiting a lot and I mean a lot, and having bad cramps." I explained. The doctor started typing. "When was the last time you had your period?" She asked. "Now that I think about it, last month. I think I'm a week late." I said already knowing where it was going.
"Ariella, it seems that you're pregnant." She answered. "W-What?" I stuttered. "Let's just take a test to make sure," She said and passed me a test. "Toilets round the back." She said.
I got up and went to the toilet and took the test. What if I'm actually pregnant? What will happen? I shook the thoughts away from my mind and went back out and handed the test to the doctor.
"We have to wait five minutes." The doctor explained and I nodded. The ringer chimed on the doctors timer five minutes later. I looked at the timer and nervously played with my fingers. "Do you want to look at it or me?" She asked. "M-Me?" I stuttered, but it came out as more of a question.
She passed me the test and I took a deep breath before looking at it.
Positive.
It read positive.
Me and Harry have been together for only a year, only slept together once, used protection and now I'm pregnant. Pregnant. I have a human inside of me.
"I'm pregnant." I whispered looking at the test wide-eyed. "I'm sure your boyfriend will stand by you." The doctor comforted. I nodded and then started shaking.
Harry! I'll need to tell Harry! Will he be upset? Happy? Angry? I don't even know. I'll tell Harry when I get home. The earlier the better.
"Thank you." I whispered and left the room as well as the hospital.
I walked home thinking. I'm going to be a mother at the age of 17. I'll be in charge of another life. I barely know how to take care of myself how will I take care of a baby. I sighed and carried on walking home.
When I got home, I opened the door. I walked in and put my purse down.
"Harry!" I called out. I got no reply. He's probably still at the studio.
I walked to the kitchen and to the fridge. I took at a water bottle out, took the lid of and took a sip and that's when I saw the note. The note that changed my life.
Dear Ari,
I didn't know how to say this and this is the easiest way I found. Ari, I don't love you anymore, in fact I never did. I love Taylor. She's my world. Every time I complimented you I never meant it. Ari, I left the apartment. I'm sorry for saying this in a note, but its the easiest way. Everytime I look at Taylor I have this feeling that I never had with you. I'm sorry, Ariella.
Love Harry xx
I dropped my water bottle letting the water spill everywhere. What? He's leaving me over a note? And when I'm pregnant? No! He can't do that! Not now!
I have someone inside of me that is half him and half me. How am I going to do this? I need someone to be helping me! This child will need its father too!
I need to tell Harry!
Wait, no I can't. I don't want to ruin his relationship with Taylor. It sounds like he's happy with her. I can't do that to someone I love. I'm not going to tell him. That's final!
So all that time he said he loved me wasn't true? When he complimented me it wasn't true? I wasted a year with him!
He needed me out the apartment to leave without me knowing and without me trying to stop him. But why over a note?! That's the worst way to break up with someone. I wouldn't be that hurt if it was face to face. Wait, who am I kidding? I'd feel the same.
I'm actually happy he told me to go to the hospital because now I know I'll always have a part of Harry with me.
"We don't need your daddy. We're strong. We can do this without him." I whispered to my barely noticeable baby bump.
"If you love me, let me know. If not, please gently let me go."
