Mitchie
I was so shocked. "He got you preggars?"
"Yup. Makes me fill sick." Caitlyn admitted.
"Mitchie, you have 10 minutes." Jason shouted to the door.
"Ok" I called back. "So what happened to the baby?"
Shane
"How is the nose bro?"
"Still hurts but I am good." Nate replied with an ice pack on his face.
"10 minute call guys." Jason said and got his mobile out.
"Texting Mia?" I asked.
"How did you know?" Jason asked seriously.
"You text her before every show!" I laughed with Nate.
"Ouch. Don't make me laugh." Nate moaned.
We had our two minute practise, voice warm up and before I realised, we were about to do another show. With Mitchie standing next to us, shaking from fear, Nate told her she will be fine.
Mitchie
The lights went down. I was under the stage and could hear the girls chanting for the boys. I stepped on the platform, got handed a microphone and then started to go up.
Then the lights hit me.
"Good evening London!" I shouted and the reaction was phenomenal. "I am Mitchie Torres and we are going to rock this O2 arena out British style tonight!" I said to get the audience going. "This song, no one has heard so you are officially the first people to hear it. This is my new song and it is called la la land!"
"I am confident,
but I'm
not a supermodel Some may say I need to be afraid Who said I can't wear my And who said I can't be single Some may say I need to be afraid Tell me
do you feel the way I feel (Guitar) some may say I need to be
afraid Machine I won't change anything in my life
I still have my moments.
Baby, that's just me.
I still eat McDonalds.

"Thank you London! You guys were amazing!" At that point, everyone screamed and were chanting my name. "I have one more song for you and then it will be time for the one and only Connect Three!"
At that point, every single girl in the sold out arena screamed. "This song is very special to me and is called We got the party.
"[Mitchie]
Come on guys tell
me what we're doing

When they heard a
different voice singing, every girl screamed their head off and then
the boys came out.

We all joined hands and bowed.
I heard this girl shout "Is your nose alright?"
So I told Nate "I think you should explain what happened."
"Ok. Are you going to stay?"
"I need to talk to Caitlyn urgently. Is it alright if I go?"
"Yeah Mit. It is fine." Nate told me and kissed me on the cheek.
When I got back to my dressing room, Caitlyn was sitting there.
"Hey! You were amazing!" she smiled.
"Thanks. Can you carry on from earlier please?" I asked sitting down.
"Yeah sure. Where were we up to?"
"The bit where you found out you were preggars."
"Oh yeah... well...
When I saw the test was positive, I was so shocked. I didn't tell anyone that I got pregnant. I don't was to have an abortion, I decided. It is basically killing the baby!
I read in a magazine that you can do this thing where you can have the baby taken out at 5 months and then put into care so I thought about that and decided it sounded right.
Now the hardest thing, was telling Matt. I called him up and said "Matt. You need to come round ASAP. I have some stuff to tell you."
Then, minutes later, he came round.
"Matt... I know what you did at the party."
"Oh crap."
"Yes oh crap! And thanks to you.. I am pregnant!" I told him.
"WHAT? You can't be!"
"Why not? Did you use protection?"
"Oh... no I didn't. I am so sorry!"
"No point apologising now is there."
"You going to have an abortion?"
"No. I have decided that is basically murder. So I am going to do this thing I read in a magazine. I still wanna be part of the baby's life so if you want to as well, that is your choice."
Matt answered right away. "I don't want to be part of the baby's life. But I will support you as you go through all of this."
"Fine. Whatever. You can go now."
A week Later
"So you want to do the procedure?" The nurse asked.
"Yes. If that is alright. And I don't want my parents finding out or anything."
"Yes. That is fine. All the information you want is in this leaflet."
"Thank you so much." I replied and walked out of the office. You could already start to see the bump. As I put on my over sized hoody, I walked down the road.
5 Months Later
"Mum. I am going to a sleepover round Mitchie's" I called to my mum.
"Ok love. See you tomorrow." I heard her call back. She didn't need to worry about me. I was practically round there all the time.
As I reached the hospital, I was booked into a room. The nurse came in and told me what was going to happen.
As I got prepared for the operation, I was listening to the best band. Connect Three. Their lyrics could help me through these sorts of times.
After the Operation
I felt so groggy. It was horrible. The nurse came in and told me that the baby was fine and it was a little baby girl.
"I have one wish. Could you call the girl Sophie?"
"Of course Caitlyn. When you are feeling a little better, you are free to go. We will call you on your mobile to tell you about the new family and how Sophie is progressing."
"Thank you so much!" I said and started to get my things together.
10 Months Later
I was in my room doing my homework and my mobile started ringing. I looked at my phone and saw it was the foster family.
"Hey! How is my little Sophie?"
"Caitlyn. We have some bad news. Sophie passed away yesterday."
"WHAT? "How could she? How did it happen?"
"She died in her sleep. We took her to hospital and she had a blood clot in her brain and she didn't make it."
"Woah. I can't believe this"
"The funeral is on Friday if you would like to come. We don't want to pressure you but it would be truly grateful if you did."
"I would love to come. I will get the father to come as well."
"Ok. See you then. Bye bye."
I hung up the phone and called matt and asked him to come round.
Then minute he came into my room, I burst into tears.
"What's up?" Matt asked coming to put his arm around me.
"You know Sophie..."
"Yes I know Sophie..."
"She died!" I cried.
"What?" Matt asked as his eyes started to get watery.
"She died last night in her sleep." I told him. " The funeral is on Friday if you wanna go."
"Are you going?"
"I was going to and I would love your support."
"You want me to come?" Matt asked. "Why? I haven't put anything towards this baby."
"You are still the dad by blood."
"Ok. I will come."
"I don't really wanna talk about the funeral." Caitlyn said wiping her eyes.
"I had no idea. I am so sorry!"
Then, the three boys came in. "Hey girls! What an amazing concert that was!" Shane came in. "Caitlyn. What's up?"
"Nothing. Don't worry about me. The show was great Shane." Caitlyn smiled.
"You were also amazing baby!" Nate told me.
"Thanks." I mumbled but I saw Caitlyn's face crumble.
"Not baby!" she cried and ran out of the room.
"What was that about?" Nate asked.
"I will go after her." Shane said getting up.
"Shane I think it is better if I go." I told him and left the boys in my dressing room. "I am so sorry. I had no idea he was going to say that." I whispered to Caitlyn.
"Don't worry about it." Caitlyn said and walked back in after a couple of minutes.
"Hey what is up?" Shane asked Caitlyn as he walked over and put his arms round her waist.
"Just when Nate mentioned baby. This date, was when my baby cousin died but last year." Caitlyn told him.
"I am so sorry. I didn't know." Nate told him as Mitchie sat down next to him.
"Don't worry Nate. You couldn't have done. I never mentioned it." She smiled at him.
After a couple minutes of silence, Shane said "I think we should go and celebrate the opening concert!"
"By how?" I asked curiously as they didn't drink or anything.
"By a..." Shane said picking up a pillow. "PILLOW FIGHT!" She shouted and hit me with a pillow.
"Oh my god Shane. That really hurt!" I said holding my head and grabbing a cushion.
"I am so sorry Mitchie. Can I help you in any way?" Shane asked coming over to me.
"Yes. You just gave me a head start." I told him and hot him with the pillow. Then everyone joined in.
After 10 minutes of a pillow fight, Jason hit Caitlyn in the stomach, like he kept hitting everyone, but Caitlyn dropped to the floor.
"Caitlyn!" I screamed and ran over to her.
