Lore's POV
Harry jumped of the pavement and came to me. He hugged me and as I felt his arms around me I couldn't help but let the uncontrollable tears fall, "shh, don't cry," he said, but at that point his voice cracked and he started crying himself.
I hugged him tight, "I'm sorry Harry, I don't even know why I accepted in the first place. I should have known that he'd try to abuse me…"
"He did what?" Harry screamed as he lifted my face to look at him.
"He wanted me to sleep with him, but I hit him with a lamp and ran away, I threw the ring away and…" but he didn't let me finish. He leaned down and kissed me softly.
"Don't do this to me ever again," he said.
"I won't, I swear," I said, "I love you."
"I love you too," he said.
He grabbed my hand and we started walking down the street, "Harry?" I said.
"Yeah," he said looking at me.
"I have to tell you something, please don't freak out," I said.
He raised one eyebrow and looked at me, "What?" he asked me.
"I'm, I'm….I'm pregnant," I told him, "with your baby."
He froze. I turned to look at him, "Harry, Harry, talk to me," I said as I shook him.
"Are you sure?" he asked me.
"I'm positive," I said, "I tried three pregnancy tests."
"I meant are you sure it's mine?" he said as he turned his gaze away from mine.
"Do you doubt me?" I asked him on the edge of tears again. He wasn't going to trust me now.
"I don't know, just to be sure," he said.
Tears rolled down my eyes. He captured my face in his hands, "don't cry," he said, "I didn't mean to hurt you."
"I'm…sure," I took a deep breath, "I'm sure the baby's yours. I've been pregnant for two weeks. Let's go home and I'll show you."
"I trust you," he said.
When I heard those words leave his mount I jumped with joy. He put his hand on my flat stomach and rubbed it, "hello little one," he said, "I'm your daddy."
"And he's the best daddy ever," I said.
Then I let Harry kiss me again. His soft lips touching mine. I put my hands around his neck and he put his around my waist. He pulled away for just an instant, "Have you seen Nick around lately?" he asked me.
"No, not once," I said, "forget him because right now I'm with you and it's you who I want to be with."
"Look," I said to Harry as I showed him the three pregnancy tests. He took them in his hands and a smile flashed on his face.
"What are you smiling about?" I asked him.
"I'm just happy that you're going to be the mother of my child," he said as he grabbed me from my waist and sat me down next to him on the bed.
He switched on the TV started to watch the news.
"Nicholas Morgan, aged twenty one found dead in his flat by his mum. Police say that he was killed or suicide. He was hit in the back of his head by his bedside lamp. Anyone with information about Morgan's murder is asked to come to give the information to the police…"
"What?" I shrieked.
"Oh my God," Harry said.
I burst in tears, "I…I…killed him," I said, "I…killed…Nick."
Harry hugged me, "You did what you had to do," Harry said, "in self-defence."
"I have to tell the police," I said.
"No," Harry said, "You won't tell the police. People would judge you, they would put labels on you. What do you think they're going to say, 'that poor girl, she killed a man cause he abused her'. People can be mean."
"I know," I said, "I should have let him use me, I shouldn't have hit him."
"Stop it," he said, "You…did…what you...had to do!"
I didn't sleep all night. Nick's face kept haunting me all night. Harry stayed awake all night with me. He kept telling me and telling me that everything was going to be all right. He kissed me over and over and held me all through the night.
I was tired of sobbing. My life kept falling apart. I'm pregnant, my mum and dad don't know yet, I've hurt Harry and yet he still loves me and he is supporting me and now to make things worse, Nick was found dead. I had never meant to kill him. I just wanted him to black out for just a moment.
I heard a knock on the bedroom door, "Come in," I said.
I looked at the bedside clock, it said 7:00 am. Gen came in and looked at me, "Have you heard the news?" she asked me.
At that moment new tears started falling down my face, "Don't," Harry said as he wiped away my tears.
Elien cam in too, "Lore, it's not your fault. You know what that fucked up jerk did to you."
"Yeah," I said, "but I didn't want to kill him."
"We know," Gen said.
"How am I ever going to get through this?" I asked, "I mean it's not like I made a small mistake that you forget about the next day."
"Well, I'm going to do everything possible to help ou forget about him and what happened," Harry said.
I brushed his cheek with my thumb, "How could I ever live without you?"
He smiled and kissed me, "The others are all here, they wanted to know how you guys are doing," Elien said.
Liam caught her hand from behind, "Can I come in?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said.
He came over to me and hugged me, "Don't worry," he said, "you are strong, you'll get through this."
"Thanks Liam," I said, "You're amazing."
"Lets' go downstairs," Harry said, "since everyone's here."
We all went downstairs. More chat about Nick's death but I started to get used to it, just a smidge. Malaikha came over and hugged me, "I'm sorry," she said, "I over reacted. I was so angry…"
"Don't worry," I told her, "the best thing is that Harry and I are back together. At least I have something good in my life."
"Don't forget about that sweet baby you're carrying…" she said.
"Yeah," I said as I rubbed my belly, "Harry and our little baby."
