My Little Secret

Chapter 3 My Secrets

*Eliza's point of view*

I savoured each moment I had with Alec, remembering his touch made me crave more but I resisted. I almost told Ellie everything but I refrained from it when she confessed she has a liking towards him. She said that she did not want to act on it until she was sure and told me. It broke my heart to hide it from her but I did not want to lose her or make her think less of me. I convinced myself I betrayed her to prevent myself from telling her what happened on what was supposed to be a 'luxurious holiday.'

It has been almost 3 weeks and Alec and I have tried our best to act normal around each other. Our parents talking about our 'joint-birthday' did not help our situation as my dad had to suggest a big party for both of us instead of two separate ones. Our parents agreed together without even looking at us for agreement. Then within 2 minutes, my mum was on the phone with the event planner. I left rolling my eyes to go shopping with Ellie who was also excited for my birthday.

"OMG! You're having your sweet sixteen, even though people mistake you for a young newly wedded woman." Ellie laughed as she finished her sentence.

"Please don't remind me" I said annoyed.

"Seriously?! Usually, you would agree with me and gloat at the fact that you and Alec got away with lying through your teeth about being married which earned you the last first class seats." Ellie said with too much energy, she must have gulped down one too many expresso's.

"I wouldn't want to gloat about someone thinking I was Alec's wife while you are thinking of getting closer to him." I quietly said but loud enough for her to hear me.

"Oh that! Ha, I'm over it don't worry." Ellie said with a neutral face making me wonder if she's saying the truth.

"Really? But why?" I curiously asked.

"Don't get me wrong Eliza, he's cute and all but he isn't the right one for me. He doesn't date unless he is the one to take interest in a girl then she becomes her kissing dummy until he is satisfied or bored and drops her. I don't want to be one of them girls who leap into his arms all clingy.2 Ellie explained while looking through my eyes. "You're hiding something! I can tell do not lie to me and spill." she ordered me to tell her what I hope she won't shun me out for.

With a teary eye I burst out, "I think I'm one of those girls now. Please don't think of me the wrong way b-but I slept with him-"

Ellie gasped and stood there with her jaw dropped. "But Eliza you are a virgin!"

"Not anymore" I confessed.

"Okay wow. Why didn't u tell me before and when the fuk did this happen?!" Ellie cursed.

"When we were on vacation and the night we came back. The night I was asleep and u woke me and Alec with loud knocking because you forgot the room key." I explained to her while she looked at me with widened eyes. "I stopped myself from telling you because I felt like I had betrayed you because you said you were interested in him."

"Awh, I wished you didn't feel like that and told me straight away Eliza plus I always get interested and then not interested really fast." Ellie comforted me making my heart beat in relief.

I hugged my best friend with teary eyes and sighed. "Please do not and don't convince me to tell Ryan. That I could never do."

"Don't worry, you will tell him when you are ready though, I know you, you won't keep something like this for much longer because that's just how pure you are." Ellie said smiling at Eliza.

*2 months later*

I was in my room with Eliza trying my birthday party dress on and groaned at the discomfort and tightness. I ordered for it to be re-sized. The seamstress took my measurements again believing I must have put on weight. To that, I rolled my eyes in disbelief and then rushed to the bathroom to puke my guts out. when i returned Ellie and the seamstress looked at me with concern,

"What? ugh I think I got food poisoning. Is there anything on my mouth or something why are u two staring?" I asked annoyed.

The seamstress walked towards me and said, "I'm so sorry miss about saying the weight comment, I didn't realise you were pregnant miss and don't worry you don't have to explain yourself. I'll keep this to myself as it is not my business."

As the seamstress walked out my room, I stood there shocked, frozen with widened eyes at Ellie and she returned the look. There was no way I was pregnant...right?

"When was your last period?" Ellie questioned me still as shocked as I am.

"I don't even know." I said taking my phone out to check my last period. "No fuking wayyyy!!!! It's been over 2 months. B-but it as always been irregular"

"Yes but not as irregular as this." Ellie shouted, "Eliza you have the symptoms, you need to do a pregnancy test."
