Chapter 6

April sat opposite Bianca in Angelo's nervously palying with her fingers. She had already perfectly arranged the plates and cutlery and glasses, so there was nothing else she could do. April could feel Brax's eyes on her and it made her feel very self-concious.

Bianca started to worry about her little sister. "Hey, are you alright? You seem kind of on-edge. Is there something wrong?"

April wanted so much to say yes but she couldn't. Bianca would go completely mad if she found out. She knew that she had to wait until she'd seen a doctor and decided what she's going to do before she told her sister. "I'm fine."

"Really? Because Liam said he saw you crying on the beach today." Bianca told her sister worriedly.

April froze. She had to think of something to say quickly. "My obsessions have been taking over quite a bit today." she lied.

Bianca frowned. "I thought you were getting better."

"I am. I'm just having one of those days where everything makes you emotional. My mind is kind of week today, so I'd say that's what's wrong. I'll be fine, I promise." April told her sister.

She looked dubious but nodded. "As long as you're okay? If your obsessions and complusions are causing anxiety attacks again, then I need you to tell me. It can't go on like it did before." Bianca told her.

April nodded. "I'm fine seriously. Just having a bit of a blue day. So, what did you get up to today?"

Bianca smiled. "Well, I was busy with some wedding arrangements. So far I have the venue, the church, the cake, and the flowers so we're well on track. People say it's stressful arranging a wedding but I'm actually quite enjoying it."

She chuckled. "Yeah well that's because this isn't your first wedding. You knew where to go for everything." April pointed out.

Her big sister stuck out her tongue. "Be quiet. This is my first real wedding day, because, unlike last time, I fully intend on getting married on the day. And I have you as my maid of honour!" Bianca smiled. "Speaking of which, I was thinking that maybe we could go shopping for your bridesmaid dress tomorrow?"

April didn't know what to say. She had completely forgot about the wedding and she had her doctor's appointment the next day. She didn't know if getting the dress now was a good idea when it wouldn't fit her by the time the wedding came around. If she kept the baby. "I can't go tomorrow. I've already made plans with Ruby."

"Oh, okay. We can do it next week." Bianca smiled and then her face fell. "Oh great." she said sarcastically.

April turned around so she could see what had changed her sister's mood so quickly and sure enough it wasn't a what but a who. Heath. She briefly exchanged glances with him and turned back around again. "Why do you still have a problem with him?"

"He's my ex! And he's Heath Braxton. That's reason enough. Why?" Bianca wondered curiously.

April shrugged. "Just wondering."

She smiled reminiscently. "I don't know what I ever saw in him. Why I ever chose him over Liam." April felt the urge to stand up for Heath, but she knew she couldn't without Bianca getting suspicious. "Our food should be here in a minute, so I'm just going to go to the bathroom beforehand."

She said and left the table.

April waited a minute before getting up and walking over to the bar where Brax and Heath were talking animatedly. Heath had his back to her and Brax stopped talking immediately when she approached them. Heath turned around and smiled. "Long time no see."

She smiled. "Yeah. Can I talk to you quickly for a moment?" April wondered and she and Heath walked towards the door.

Heath picked up her hand. "What's up?"

"Eh, I forgot to tell you earlier, for obvious reasons, but I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow." she told him.

He smiled. "Do you want me to come with you?"

April shook her head. "I think it would be best if I went instead. I don't want to risk anyone seeing us there together."

Heath nodded. "If that's what you want. How about I bring you there and wait in the car while you're inside? I just don't like the thought of you having to go by yourself." he offered sweetly.

April smiled. "I would like that. I'll meet you here tomorrow at one o'clock?"

"Sounds good to me. You better get back to your table, Bianca will be back in a minute." Heath said, releasing her hand.

She nodded. "Yeah. I'll talk to you tomorrow." April said before heading back to their table just as their food arrived.
