CHAPTER 8

HAZEL'S POV

"I cannot believe this Hazel!" 

I sunk in my chair, as he walked back and forth waving his hands in the air.

"You're f*****g pregnant! To Mr Williams!?" 

Oh, if only the chair could swallow me away, as if I could stop existing entirely right now.

"It's not what it looks like.." I tried to reason to him, but he only glared down at me more.

"This is!" He showed the pregnancy test at me. "Isn't what it looks like?!" 

"Just calm down, Damien." I tried to reason. "It's not a big deal.."

"Oh, yes it is, honey."  He replied back with a hint of sass, waving the positive pregnancy test in front of me.

I snatched out of his hands, putting it in my jacket pocket. 

"That's not going to change anything, Hazel." Damien frowned at me.

I only shrugged. "I thought it was worth a try." 

Damien came and sat next to me, putting an arm over me as he tried to comfort me.

"So, what's the game plan here, babe?"

I placed my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes.

"I-I..I don't know, Damien. I mean, I've always wanted a child of my own. But it's-"

"Not Nathan's." Damien grumbled.

I only frowned.

"I really wanted this to work, I wanted us to work. But it can't happen if-"

"If he keeps cheating behind your back with some bimbo?" Damien raised his voice, I could sense his irritation.

"If I keep the child." I whispered.

Damien pulled out in an instant, taring at me as if I've grown two heads in the last second.

"You can't be serious, Hazel." He frowned at me. "Tell me you're joking, you've got to be joking right now."

I only diverted my gaze, looking at anything else then my best friend's strong glare.

"I don't know." I mumbled.

Damien only glared at me more, rubbing his temples in frustration.

"I don't know what else I can tell you Hazel. I'd love to go on with how much Nathan is a bastard. But I don't want a round 2 of before."

I only looked up at him, feeling guilty. I shouldn't have told him my problems, I knew how e would feel but I still selfishly did. 

But...he's the only one I have right now.

"Just, don't make a decision too quickly. Please?" I only nodded, as Damien pulled me into a tight hug.

"Sometimes you can be a real pain, you know that. But I love you, Hazel. I just don't want you to ruin a chance at happiness, because you're eager to try and make one of your own." 

I only smiled, nodding my head.

"I know, I love you too Damien."
