Joey had stayed silent for over 5 minutes. He was obviously thinking over who to choose. How could she even compare to his own child?

" Your silence says it all Joey. Have a nice life. Goodbye Joey" I grimaced

" Why do I get the feeling I'm never gonna see you again?" Joey asked. I could tell he was hurt at what I said but I wasn't going to let him walk all over me.

" Because you're not. Not until you believe that I didn't drink that night and until you can trust me again. You made your choice four weeks ago and now it's time to face the music. I hope she's worth it." I spat

" You can't leave. Not with my baby. Please Lauren. We will work something out" Joey pleaded

" I can't leave?" I laughed " Watch me" My tone becoming a little bitter.

I left the toilets, Joey was stood frozen on the spot; the events of what just happened catching up to him.

As I was walking through the pub I saw Lucy giving me evils. I couldn't hold my tongue back anymore so I just lost it.

" You can stop giving me the evils. They kinda ruin your face not that it really makes a difference." I laughed

" I hope your happy now. You finally got him. I'm leaving tomorrow so you and him can do whatever you want." I said, my tone serious this time. I sighed trying to hold my tears back.

Joey's P.O.V

Why didn't I answer straight away. Obviously I was going to choose my child; I would never pick anyone over my child or Lauren.

I pulled myself back to earth and realised she had left. I quickly ran after her. She was stood over near Lucy. My heart shattered hearing her say those words; I never wanted Lucy, she was just a friend.

" Lauren, she's just a mate. Nothing more" I said, watching her as she turned to face me.

" I couldn't give a damn what she is. She's still not going near my baby and I'm not coming back here until you realise what a spiteful bitch she is"

" You can't stop Joey from seeing his baby, Lauren" Lucy quipped

" Lucy just stut up and let me deal with this"

" I'm not talking about this with you. Not in front of her" Lauren sighed, walking out of the pub.

I walked out of the pub, heading towards my house, Joey following behind me.

The house was quiet; especially with mum, nan and Oscar gone.

I made my way upstairs and into my bedroom. I lay on my bed; the eventful day finally catching up with me.

" You've already packed?" Joey quized, standing at the doorway.

" Yeah I was gonna go a couple of days ago but I knew something was wrong so I took a test and now here we are."

" Do you believe me?" I blurted out

" Lauren please... don't do this. You being pregnant doesn't change what I believe. Lucy told me herself that you asked her to buy you a drink. It makes sense Lauren."

" I've never met anyone as gullable as you, Joey. How can you be so stupid to not even see what she's doing. She flirts with you all the time, acts all nice to me when you are there and then the minute your back is turned she is a complete bitch"

" She has been nothing but nice to me since the break up." Joey cursed

" You know what! I've made up my mind. I'm never coming back. And when you do find out that I was telling the truth then don't come running to me because I will never forgive you for what you have done to me. And if you were wondering what's gonna happen with my baby then don't bother because all you will ever be to my child is a second-cousin."

" What! I don't fucking think so. You're not taking my baby or I will resort to desperate measures even if that means taking you to court!" Joey shouted. He was stressing me out and then suddenly a massive pain struck the left hand side of my stomach.

" Lauren... What's happening?" Joey was panicking as I lay doubled over in pain " I'm sorry for shouting. I didn't mean any of those things"

" Just call an ambulance, please, Joey. It really hurts!" I shouted. I was now crying uncontrollably and Joey was trying to help me up onto my feet but it was too painful.
