Chapter Twenty Two

I think I'm going to throw up again.

Seriously.

No wonder Dougie had bolted.

"I didn't even know I was..." I began. I couldn't finish.

I was pregnant.

I was...

I had something living inside of me.

I didn't even know.

"It was ectopic." Tom sat on the edge of my bed, ready in case I needed a hug.

I need a hug!

"They had to operate. If we hadn't have got you in here when we did, you might not have been around any more." He continued.

"Doesn't that mean I can't have kids?" My eyes widened. "Don't they remove stuff?"

"They removed a tube. Don't worry. You've still got another one." He smiled, pulling me in for the hug I'd been wanting to ask for. "You want to talk about it?"

"I would if I could Tom." I sighed. "But I don't want to lose you guys."

"You wouldn't get rid of us even if you tried." He laughed lightly, stopping upon seeing I wasn't joking. "Seriously though, Brenna. I'm here. Confidential Tom at your service."

"You won't tell Anyone?" I asked. "You won't tell mum or dad?"

"Well.." he started to look a little hesitant.

Wimp.

I knew he'd back out.

Grrr.

"Please Tom. It's nothing illegal. I swear." What? Technically it wasn't.

"I... I guess so." He frowned.

"No. Promise. Please." I pouted.

"Fine." He sighed. "Am I going to be mortified."

"Probably." I shrugged. "You'll probably hate me actually"

I thought back to when me and Dougie had relations in Tom's bed.

Maybe I'll just neglect that part.

"So... Since your birthday... You and Doug have had a thing?... Have I got this right?" Tom sat, his mouth agape. I nodded. Remaining silent. "And he got you pregnant?"

I nodded again.

"And... Brenna, that's really..."

"Stupid I know." I groaned inwardly.

"No. Well, yes. But... I wouldn't have thought... Not in a million years that Doug would..."

"Shag a seventeen year old?" I suggested.

"No.. well... I was going to say, Fall for his best friends daughter." Tom continued.

"Give me a break." I snapped rather harshly.

"I'm serious!" He exclaimed.

"Then you're delusional." I stated. "Didn't you hear him? He doesn't care... I'm a frigid cow because I was raped. He just wants the sex. And I was stupid enough to give my everything to him. So fcking stupid"

So very stupid.

I want to cry.

I think I may.

Oops, there I go again.

Still supplying Namibia with it's drinking water.

"Brenna, don't cry. Everyone makes mistakes.." Tom held me tighter in his arms, cradling me in a child like fashion as I sobbed harder.

"But it was a great mistake." I cried. "I loved making every single one of those mistakes. Why the hell did he have to run away? Does he always do that?!"

"Listen to me." Tom held my shoulders. "I have never seen Dougie so happy before. These past few months he's written more songs than he's done in five years. He's changed."

I flinched seeing mum and dad walk past my room, pausing at the doorway.

"Don't tell them." I whispered.

Tom simply nodded.

I just hoped he'd keep to his word.

Crazededgefan: I think it's the latter m'love. But yes, how will Dougie cope with that?

Londonchk: Awh you did? That's awesome hun. I still post it on there every times there's a wipe. So it's been posted a good nine times before this. Harry's not going to be pleased at all, but… will he find out? And Dougie, well…
Gen: Wow. That's awesome. I always wonder why people like this fic so much. I've always had a lot of readers and reviewers, but I've never understood why really. This and it's sequel are my most successful fictions.
diva51048: Awh no problem m'love. Your's is really well written. I'll be a regular reader and reviewer, well, as often as I can manage.
paperkites: Well, at least you're reviewing now. :P. Yep, you'll just have to wait and see…

Thank you, you guys.
I've updated wayy sooner than I thought I would.
But I'm ill.
And I had time to spare.
