Andy's POV

Going to school was weird now since I didn't have Riley by my side but that was to be expected. She still needs to clear her head and she no longer wanted to be tied down to school. I didn't want to either but I knew it made Riley happy so I wasn't too bothered by it. We still hadn't quite decided what we should do about the baby but I was beginning to want to keep it. I think Riley does too but she's scared that she will mess up. I want to tell her what I think but if truth be told, I'm scared too.

I walked down the corridors at school and I instantly felt alone and stupid for doing things that a normal teenager should be doing when my girlfriend is sitting at home because she's pregnant. I felt like turning around and walking straight back out of this school but I didn't. I entered one of the classes and prayed to God that it was mine. It was. Each student looked up at me as I took my seat and I glared at each one. I was just about to concentrate on the worksheet that had been placed on my desk but was distracted when the kid next to me started talking.

"I heard you and Riley broke up" The kid said. I had to suppress the urge to hit him since I was still touchy on the subject of the little separation that happened between Riley and me.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" I growled. When I next looked at the kid he looked annoyed but still slightly scared at my mood change.

"Is it not true?" He asked. I stared at him as though he was crazy and then proceeded to glare at him.

"What has it got to do with you anyway?" I asked. My voice no longer growled but it was still obvious that I was mad.

"I was wanting to know so I could ask her out" The kid sighed. I almost burst out laughing at the fact that he was telling me about his plans to steal my girlfriend.

"We have not broke up so you can back off" I said. The kid nodded his head and turned away. I sighed and focused on my work again. The encounter with that kid was over and now I wanted to see Riley. I was tempted to pull my phone out of my pocket and ring her but I didn't want to seem clingy. I managed to stay seated even though I wanted to be as far away from that kid as possible. As soon as he started mentioning Riley I got all annoyed and I knew I probably looked like a jealous dickhead. As soon as the lesson was finished I went to the lunch hall and took a seat next to Jinxx and Jake. They smiled warmly at me and carried on with eating.

"Have you heard anything from Riley?" Jake asked me. I shook my head and took a bite out of the sandwich that Jake was trying to eat.

"Do you need to tell her something?" I asked. Jake pushed aside his food and I could instantly tell that something was wrong with him.

"Ever since she got pregnant I've been worried about her" Jake admitted. Jinxx was listening to us intently as I nodded knowingly. I had been so worried about her too but I had to let her be more independent.

"I get like that too" I reassured. It was like he was ashamed to admit that he had felt for his sister. I wanted to admit that I couldn't wait to get home and wrap her up in my arms but that was something that they didn't need to know. An awkward silence fell between us and I desperately tried to think of something to say but nothing came to mind.

"When are you and Riley going to decide what to do about the baby?" Jinxx asked in a hushed tone since he knew that we didn't want anyone to know yet.

"We're going to give it another couple of weeks and then we'll decide" I answered as I tried to manage a small smile. I was beginning to want to keep the baby now but I didn't think Riley would. We sat in silence for the rest of lunch. By the end of it I was so sick of the whole day so I just jammed my headphones in and blocked everything else out. The teachers didn't care about what I done as long as I wasn't disrupting things, which I wasn't. I let my head bob up and down to A.F.I. and pretended to do my work; my mind was on Riley the whole time.

Riley's POV

I was beginning to get sick of staying at home on my own and I was missing being able to have fun with Andy. The only time we ever got to see each other was when he was done with school but I was tired by then and wasn't in the mood to talk. Being pregnant is pretty shit. By the time three 'o' clock came I had made sure that I was awake and ready to greet Andy when he walked through the door. I didn't have to wait too long and as soon as the door was open Andy was by my side and pulling me into a hug.

"I missed you today" He mumbled into my hair and I couldn't help but grin like a fool. I had missed him so much as well and being in his arms was a feeling that I couldn't even describe. Andy pulled away from me and then came back as he attacked my lips with his own. I instantly kissed back and I felt all the passion that was held a couple of weeks ago. I could feel him smile into my lips and it was contagious.

"Are you feeling ok?" I giggled and it earned a small chuckle from Andy. He looked into my eyes and it made me feel like I should squirm away and check how I look in the mirror but I didn't.

"I've just missed being here for you" He admitted. I nodded and pulled him into another hug just as the door opened again.

"I'm back" Jake called as though it actually mattered. I rolled my eyes and pulled away from Andy to see Jake walking into the living room.

"How was your day?" I asked as I pretended to care but it was my brother so I was always cheerful around him. He walked straight over to the sofa and thumped down as he kicked his shoes off. He always liked to pretend that school was so stressful for him and we played along with him because we knew it made him happy. Andy made his way to the kitchen and sat at the table as he pulled out some of his books. I sat down next to him and I was beginning to feel jealous. I wanted to have to do homework and have to worry about not having enough time to do it.

"Can I help you?" Andy asked with a sweet smile planted on his face.

"Do you want any help with your homework?" I asked and I knew I was praying for him to answer in the affirmative. He slowly shook his head as he pulled out another book from his bag.

"It's just revision for the test tomorrow" He explained and I slowly nodded and left the room so he could revise for that stupid test tomorrow.

Andy's POV

I knew that she wanted to help but there was nothing that she could do. She needed to rest for a bit but Riley wasn't the kind of person who would take things lying down. She had to be doing something even if she knew it would make things worse for her. She needed to understand that she just had to relax for a little bit. She was itching to get out the house and be with friends but she was getting tired all the time. It didn't help that I couldn't be there for her. I needed to do school work to make her happy but I needed to be with her too. Things were just getting too confusing at the moment.

I quickly read through some of the topics that were going to show up on that test and then I went on a hunt for Riley. I checked the living room, our room and Jake's room until I checked the ban practice room. She was playing on her piano and I couldn't help but smile when I heard her heavenly voice. She was singing 'taking over me' by Evanescence but my smile faltered when I realised why. She was feeling miserable so she was singing a sad song. I instantly felt guilty for even going to school today. I shifted my feet on the floor as I thought about what to do, deciding on what was best I ran up to her from behind. My arms wrapped round her and she stopped playing and looked up at me and her makeup had been running. I kissed her cheek in an effort to get her to stop crying.

"I love you so much" I mumbled into her hair and I knew then that a smile was threatening to show. I felt her arms wrap around me as she buried her head in my chest. I sat down on the little bench next to her and pulled her onto my lap where she let her head rest on the crook of my neck.

"Being pregnant's really shit" She whispered and I chuckled softly. She giggled ever so slightly and I realised that everything about her was so dangerous yet soothing and that's one of the things that I love so much about her.

"We'll be ok" I whispered in her ear and it caused her to shiver. I loved being able to make her feel so great about herself and it was an amazing feeling to be able to make her do things like that.

"I've missed you so much this past week" She wept and I instantly felt guilty again.

"I'm going to finish the work for this week and then next week I'm going to stay with you for the whole day" I sighed. I knew that she was looking forward to this now and so was I. She had no idea how much I had missed her.

"I love you" She said into my ear. I stood up and took her hand as we left the band practice room.

"Do you want to go to bed?" I asked and she nodded as a wave of tiredness hit me. We entered our bedroom and I realised how comfortable beds really look.

Riley's POV

Having that little heart to heart with Andy made me feel a little better about everything that had happened over the past few weeks. I could barely even describe how great it feels to be able to look forward to spending a whole day with Andy again. I needed to feel his supporting arms around me again.

He led me upstairs so I could go to sleep and as soon as we were in bed he pulled me onto his chest like he did when we first started going out. I loved feeling his arms wrapped around my body and I love letting my hands rest on his chest. He kissed the top of my head as I closed my eyes and let all thoughts drift from my mind as I fell into a comfortable sleep with Andy by my side.
