Mistakes

When I was finished dressing and putting makeup on, I headed downstairs to grab something to eat before Elizabeth Ann came around, she was very sweet, I met met her a week after Niall had left and we clicked. Mum kicked me out when I found out I was pregnant and Elizabeth took me under her wing. She was the only one who knew I was pregnant right now and has been there every step of the way so far. She had straight brown hair with brown eyes and a very beautiful smile, so over all, she was stunning and then there’s me, I’m not so bad but she was the one who had everyone staring.

I heard the blaring of her horn, I laughed and walked back out of the kitchen to call James.

“James! Elizabeth is here,” I hollered up the stairs.

“I’m coming!” He said running down the stairs.

“Here, I made your lunch and here’s an apple for breakfast,” He grabbed it and ran out the door to the car, I followed behind and made sure I locked the door, I got to the car and got in doing my belt up.

“Hey, how are you?” Elizabeth greeted me with a smile.

“The usual, I suppose. Yourself?”

“I’m good. What about you James?”

“Fine,” Elizabeth looked at me with a concerned look, I just put my hands up and silently said don’t look at me. The rest of the drive was quiet, once we arrived at James’s school I turned in my seat so I could talk to him.

“Hey, make sure you bring homework home, okay?”

“Whatever,” He started to get out of the car and closed the door behind him.

“James?” He turned around to the window.

“I love you,” He waved me off.

“Sure, right back at you,” He walked off before I could say anything else, I watched him walk away with his hands stuck into his jean pockets and looking at the ground, we pulled from the curb and I sighed out in frustration.

“How’s things going with him anyways?” Elizabeth said.

“As you can tell, not so great.”

“Is he okay, like with all this?”

“I don’t know Lizzy, ever since he had to move in with me because of mums drinking, he wont open up to me at all and I don’t know how to tell him it’s okay.”

“I don’t know what to tell you, just let him come to you when he’s ready.”

“I guess that’s the only thing I can do.”

“So, where to now?”

“Starbucks please.”

“Your wish is my command.”

We drove to Starbucks which took about five minutes, we chatted about new gossip and what not, once we arrived, we walked in and stood in the fairly long line, we ordered and waited for our coffees, when I got mine I didn’t pay any attention to where I was going and spilt it all over me.

“Damn,” I said trying to wipe it off of me.

“Watch out, that’s precious cargo… wait? Nicole?” I looked up to see Niall and I’s best friend, Liam Payne, this just wasn’t my day I thought as I mentally face palmed myself.

“Nicole, I haven’t seen you in ages... well since I went to sign up for the X factor.”

“Oh, that’s right, how’d ya do?” By this time, we were all seated at a table drinking our coffees.

“Well, I didn’t make it far being a solo singer but Simon, one of the judges, well he put me in a group with four other boys to form a band.”

“Well, that’s exciting isn’t it, I mean meeting new people right?”

"They’re not all new, I mean he did stick me with Niall,” I froze when I heard his name, I grabbed my belly like I was trying to hide it which Liam thankfully didn’t notice.

“You okay Nicole?”

“Umm, no I have a headache, I think I should go but it was nice seeing you though Liam,” I got up and headed for the car, once we had pulled into my driveway, Elizabeth turned the car off and looked at me.

“What was that all about,” Elizabeth didn’t know about Niall and I, she just assumed the guy who got me pregnant was a jerk and that Niall was my best friend which she was right about that, we were best friends but if you had gone to our school, you would’ve thought we were a couple.

“Elizabeth, it’s time that I come clean to you,” She looked at me with her eyebrow cocked up.

“Three and a half months ago, I went to a party with Niall and…”

“You were raped?”

“No! Niall and I were drunk,” She looked at me and then she put the pieces together.

“No way!”

“Yes, Niall Horan is the baby’s father.”

“Does he know?”

“No, we had a fight and he never gave me the chance to tell him about me being pregnant, so I’ve never tried contacting him.”

“Why did you fight? If you don’t mind me asking.”

“Basically, he cheated on me, told me it didn’t mean anything to him.”

“What do you mean?

“Niall told me he loved me like crazy but you know what they say about drinking.”

“No? what do they say?”

“It’s the time you’re more vulnerable and you tell the truth because you can’t help it.”

“Oh.”

After telling her, it felt good that someone was finally listening to me, what a relief that was.
