Chapter 10: Reid's POV (For the first time and probably the last)
"Aw man, is she dead?" Kendall asked as we looked down on the unconscious April.
"No," Freddie said as he felt the pulse on her neck. "Her heart's still beating."
I sighed with relief. "What do we do with her?"
We all shrugged. We didn't even know where she lived. "Wait, she's a ninja, right?" I asked. They both nodded. "Then, let's just call the ninja!"
"Ninja don't have phones, dumbass." Freddie growled.
"Actually…" Kendall trailed off as he pulled a cellphone out of April's jacket. "I guess this one does."
I smirked at Freddie who rolled his eyes. "Whatever."
I grabbed the IPhone from Kendall and searched through the address book. "Okay, there's a guy named Cole here. Should we call him?"
"No way, he'll think we drugged her drinks." Freddie argued.
"Dude, I don't give a fuck, what if she dies? Then we'll be in a lot more trouble." I clicked the guy's name and it speed dialed his number. "I'm calling the guy either way."
"Meanwhile we can get her to the hospital." Kendall said, picking April up gently. "C'mon, let's go."
Cole's POV
I took a shower and changed my clothes, but I still refused to leave my room. Like they promised, the guys left me alone. I lay in darkness, staring up at the roof. Justice and Dexter were always outside so the room was mine. "Ugh, I should kill my-" I stopped in the middle of the sentence when I saw my scythe lying in the corner. I shook my head rapidly. No, my mom killed herself; I wasn't going to do the same. Then again…
My thoughts stopped when my cellphone rang. Who the hell was calling me? My dad? I didn't want to speak to the man, he didn't even like April. What if it was Demi? Fuck that, I didn't want to speak to that bitch either.
I sat up to look at the screen of my phone. Incoming Call From; "April". I immediately jumped up and grabbed the BlackBerry. "Hello?" I answered.
"Hey, um…Are you Cole?" a guy's voice asked. Wait…A guy?! Why was a guy using April's phone?! My heart completely sank. God, don't tell me she was with this dude! "Yeah, who's this?"
"My name's Reid, I'm in a band and April's our Hype Girl-"
"April's a Hype Girl?" I cut him off. 'What the fuck? She never danced in her life! Never even around me!'
"Yeah, she is and she was drinking so she passed out. We're in the hospital now, and she's unconscious." He explained.
I heard another guy shout; "We weren't sure who else to call."
Then another; "Yeah, are you her brother?"
"Shut up, fuckers," Reid growled. "Can you come down here?"
What the FUCK?! How many guys was she hanging out with?! "Uh…Sure…" I ended the call and got up to put on my ninja suit. A strong dose of jealousy was already injected into me. I hurt her so she moved on, but I still loved her…
I went off to get the others. As I walked out of the room, I dialed Dareth's number.
April's POV
"Unh…" I felt like I was ready to pass out again, but thankfully I quickly discovered I was in a hospital. I breathed a sigh of relief, but put my hand over my stomach. Oh God…I had been drinking…And I was pregnant. NOT. GOOD.
Was my baby okay? What kind of mother was I? Well…Mother in waiting, but STILL!
"You're fine." A doctor that was in the room scared me. "But I ran some tests…" he said looking through some papers. "And you're pregnant. The amount of alcohol you consumed put you and your child in danger."
I sighed and sunk back into my pillow. Wait…He said I was fine but-No… "My baby's okay, right?"
"They're fine too, but you have to rest and eat healthy and no drinking at all."
"Thanks, but uh…Who brought me here?"
"Oh three young men,"
I nodded slowly. At least they hadn't done anything to me while I was knocked out, but I had to explain why I passed out… "Can you tell them to come in here?"
The doctor nodded and then left the room. A few seconds later, Reid, Kendall and Freddie all rushed in. "Good, you're alright. You scared us!" Reid said.
"Yeah, I thought I'd go to jail!" Kendall said, only for Freddie to smack him on the back of the head. "But, I guess it's cool you're okay."
I rolled my eyes and again, put my hand on my stomach. "Okay, I have to tell you guys something…"
They all raised a brow at me. "What?" they asked in union.
"I can't be your Hype Girl because…I'm pregnant."
…
…
…
"THEN WHY WERE YOU DRINKING?!" Kendall shouted.
I bit my lip. "I dunno', I just-"
"Okay, fuck this, this is like the twentieth Hype Girl that we have to fire!" Freddie stomped his foot. "April, sorry but we have to let you go, man."
Reid looked to me frowning. "Sorry."
I nodded slowly. "We'll miss you, love." Kendall leaned over and kissed my cheek. Reid and Freddie did the same. "See you." They left the room. At least they were nice about it…
I folded my arms and sat in my empty hospital room. I'd have to call someone…I looked over and saw my jacket and dress folded on a bedside table.
Just as I was getting ready to climb out of my bed… "APRIL!" my uncle burst into the room. (A/N: Let's just say Dareth's in his late thirties-early forties by now).
He squeezed me like crazy. "What are you doing in a hospital? Are you okay? What aren't you talking? NURSE!"
I gave him a 'please let me go' look and he took the message. A few seconds later, the others walked in…Including Cole. He looked deadly pale and his jade eyes were empty. His hair was roughed up like he hadn't brushed it in a while. I tore my eyes away from him and looked around the room, to find everyone looking back. "How'd you know I was here?" I asked.
"Your friends called me." Cole answered, putting a slight sarcastic emphasis on friends.
"I didn't tell you. I'm a Hype Girl for a band…Well, I was. They fired me when they found out…" I stopped.
"Find what out?" Cole raised a brow.
Zane looked to me with a 'tell him or I will' look and Kai, Jay and Lloyd seemed to be giving the same look too. Wait…How'd they know?! Son of a bitch Zane! I sighed. "I want everyone out except for my uncle and Cole."
The others left me with Uncle Dareth and Cole who looked at me in confusion. Just looking at Cole…How he hurt me…I tried my best to forget about him by dying my hair, ditching my glasses and all! But, I had a permanent reminder of him, growing inside me…
"Guys…" I bit my lip, fighting off small tears. My voice was already shaky. "I'm…Pregnant." I finished.
Cole's POV
"Uh…" I trailed off. But seriously inside, I was like; 'YEEESSS!'
I've wanted to be a dad since I was a kid! But…The way April was shaking…Right…We weren't together anymore…
My excitement completely faded. Dareth stared at me. "Um…its Cole's right?" he asked. She nodded. "Then what's wrong-?" he stopped, like he had realized April and I weren't together anymore too.
I gave Dareth a little look and he nodded. "I'll be right back." He said to April and then left. I sat down in a chair beside April's bed and looked at her in silence. "What do you want to do?" I asked.
She shook her head. "I don't know…"
I reached forward and took her. She looked up at me. "I'm sorry…For everything." I squeezed her hand. "I love you."
She remained completely silent. "Please, April…"
Out of nowhere she lunged at me and kissed my lips. She drew back slightly with tears running down her face. "I love you too."
I smiled lightly.
Kai's POV
I noticed Jayleene was breathing really quickly as we sat in the waiting room. "What's wrong?" I asked.
"Um…We might be here a little while…" she panted. Everyone stared at her in confusion. She put her hands on her stomach. "I think the baby's coming…"
I jumped up with wide eyes. "W-WHAT? NOW?!"
"Yes now…" she groaned.
"NURSE!" I yelled.
Jay ran over to his sister and helped her up.
A/N: Jayleene's in labor! HOLY SHIT! Cole and April made up too. Aw… :D Story's not done yet.
