I'm pregnant.
Charlie Sterling
(It didn’t quite hit me how alone I actually was until Liam started avoiding me)
Charlie Anderson
Liam.. good morning I-
17 year old Liam Sterling
*brushes past him* sorry I have class talk to you later.
Charlie Sterling
(Even during lunch I didn’t see him. I couldn’t find him anywhere in the cafeteria. My heat cycle which was supposed to come in a week didn’t show up either and I felt really nauseous ever since, I didn’t really like to eat alone so I started skipping meals)
Charlie Sterling
(Looking back at it now this part of me remains for ever unchanged whenever I’m alone or hurt or just unwell I skip meals. Even until I pass out occasionally.)
Charlie Sterling
(This went on for a while. No matter how many times I called him, it would go straight to voicemail and by this time I had already sent him numerous voicemails apologising and asking him to please talk to me or atleast call me back. I don’t blame him though. Because I knew this was my fault.)
Charlie Sterling
(The pain never really struck me until I saw him a week before my 18th birthday. Liam had cut his hair off, and actually started to pay more attention to his studies. And show up to classes)
Charlie Sterling
(The difference was like day and night. He was much more relaxed and more social than he had been before, hanging out with the popular kids and the smart kids. It’s almost as if he was cleaning up after himself.)
Charlie Sterling
(But he still ignored me.)
Charlie Sterling
(His new haircut made him look much more older and more mature.)
Charlie Sterling
(I remember watching him during class and I couldn’t help but stare. But he didn’t even look back at me once. It was like as if I never existed.)
Charlie Sterling
(Looking back at it now I think I was one of his acts he was trying to clean up as well.)
At the Anderson summer mansion
Ralph Anderson
Oh Charlie your back just in time!! Look at who has come to visit us!!
Asahi Anderson
Hi Charlie!!!!
Alex Anderson
Hello charlie.
Charlie Anderson
Grandma! Grandpa?
Charlie Anderson
Welcome *small smile*
Ralph Anderson
Come on help me set the table around!
Charlie and Ralph set up the dinner table
Ralph Anderson
Today your sister scored the top marks in school again! Grandma and grandpa came by to congratulate her! *smiling*
Charlie Anderson
*setting up the table* I’m done I’ll just wash up and be back
Ralph Anderson
Okay hurry up don’t be late *smiles*
Charlie Sterling
(My mother was in a really good mood that night, ever since he was diagnosed with the heart disease I haven’t seen him smile like that since then.)
Alex Anderson
We are so proud of you Rayla!
Rayla Anderson
Oh it’s all thanks to mom and dad!
Ralph Anderson
Aww sweetie
Chihiru Anderson
We are proud of you Rayla!
Charlie Anderson
*sitting quitely playing with his food*
Asahi Anderson
Oh by the way Charlie!
Charlie Anderson
*drops the spoon down*
Charlie Anderson
Oh sorry!
Chihiru Anderson
It’s okay I’ll get it *picks up the spoon*
Charlie Anderson
Yes grandma?
Asahi Anderson
Why have you lost so much of weight? Look at you! You have become so skinny? Aren’t you eating well dear?
Charlie Sterling
(Grandma was the only one who always notices everything with me, to be honest I believe it’s because he’s the only one who cared enough to look at me once in awhile)
Charlie Sterling
(It’s true I had lost a lot of weight during that time of my life it was because I hadn’t been eating well and been skipping a lot of meals I just didn’t have the appetite to stomach any food and nausea was at the worst)
Charlie Anderson
Oh haha no I’m alright
Chihiru Anderson
*looks at charlie*
Ralph Anderson
*looks at charlie*
Chihiru Anderson
Charlie grandma is right you should eat more lately I have been noticing that you haven’t really been eating well. Is something the matter?
The table was dead silent
Charlie Anderson
Oh umm *laughs* no no it’s nothing at all haha
Charlie Anderson
Lately my heat cycles haven’t been that usually and I have been feeling pretty nauseous so I’m not able to stomach anything I’ll be fine it’s alright *smiles*
12 year old Rayla Anderson
Oh grandma grandpa! Dad bought me a Stradivarius violin!
Charlie Anderson
*drops his spoon again*
The table goes silent again
Charlie Anderson
*looks down on the ground*
Charlie Sterling
( I remember the first and the only thing I asked from my father. It was a violin. I didn’t ask for any expensive ones either. I said anything will do as long as it’s playable. But I remember his cold voice telling me I should focus on my education more. And that maybe he will get me one if I do good in my exams but he never did)
Charlie Sterling
( but looking back at it now I understood why he did what he did, I was an omega after all. If I hadn’t studied I would have been penniless and homeless sometimes. Whereas my sister who is an alpha can get by anything. But also she was good at everything. Studies or playing the violin she was always better at me in everything.)
Chihiru Anderson
*sighs* why are you repeatedly dropping your spoon can’t you do one thing right? *picks up the spoon again*
Ralph Anderson
It’s okay Chihiru don’t worry he’s just a kid.. *small laugh*
Alex Anderson
Still. He’s growing up now. He needs to-
Asahi Anderson
*kicks him under the table*
Asahi Anderson
Oh Charlie I haven’t asked yet what have you been up to? *smiles*
Charlie Anderson
Oh um… you know the usual.. school and everything.
Asahi Anderson
That’s good that you haven’t been missing your classes anymore
Alex Anderson
Still you need to-
Asahi Anderson
*kicks him again from underneath the table*
Chihiru Anderson
Dad! Are you alright!
Ralph Anderson
Father in law!
Asahi Anderson
*smiles* oh don’t worry your father may be old but he is build like a brick he’s fine!!
Ralph Anderson
Say why don’t you get your violin down and show them what you learned in the class yesterday?
Ralph Anderson
I started accompanying Rayla to her violin classes! She’s doing so well!
Charlie Sterling
(I remember being sick to my stomach. Even if I hadn’t eaten a lot. I felt like I was about to vomit)
Charlie Anderson
I’m sorry but can I be excused? I just haven’t been feeling well I want to rest up early..
Ralph Anderson
But Charlie you haven’t even touched your meal yet!
Charlie Anderson
No it’s alright.. I just I’m just not hungry.. I’ll maybe eat later on.
Ralph Anderson
Okay if you say so I’ll keep some left overs in the fridge okay!
Charlie Anderson
Okay thank you mom *smiles*
Charlie Anderson
Goodnight grandpa and grandma I’ll see you next time
Asahi Anderson
Alright sweetheart remember to take care of yourself!
Asahi Anderson
*kicks him again underneath the table*
Asahi Anderson
Oh wow you need to chew your food more better love!
Alex Anderson
*glares at asahi*
Charlie Sterling
Alright then goodnight mom dad, Rayla..
12 year old Rayla Anderson
Night! *smiles*
Chihiru Anderson
Don’t stay up too late
Charlie Anderson
I won’t. *smiles and walks to leave*
Chihiru Anderson
Oh and also Charlie
Chihiru Anderson
Rayla has her finals coming up next week so the dishes chores are on you okay? I hope you understand.
Charlie Anderson
*tightens his fists* okay..
Charlie Sterling
(I remember the feeling of blood pounding into my chest and head as I tried to leave the dining hall and run up to my room)
Charlie Sterling
(The frustration on my mind made me cry out as I tried to fish out the mint cigarette Liam had gifted me. The mint ones.. I remember I dare not smoke but instead kept them safely as a keepsake)
Charlie Sterling
(I didn’t really know how to smoke let alone light one either so I sat there for 20 minutes trying to figure out how to do it, and while focusing on that it helped me calm down a bit)
Charlie Sterling
(Once it was finally lit I took two drags of it, and all I could have thought about was Liam. And the way he kisses me holds me hugs me and makes love to me. Everything seems to remind me about him.)
Charlie Sterling
(He was the only good part of my life, he had always been. And he was right mint cigarettes do taste better.)
Charlie Sterling
(But that’s when my grandma walked in on me)
Charlie Anderson
Grandma! *turns off the cigarette and throws it out the window*
Charlie Sterling
(I still remember being so afraid. It was the first time I saw my grandma look at the same disappointed look on his face as everyone else does when they look at me)
Charlie Sterling
(I remember crying so much that I couldn’t feel my face)
Charlie Anderson
Grandma please… please don’t tell mom….
Asahi Anderson
Charlie… I am really disappointed in you.
Charlie Sterling
(Those words felt like a knife coming from my grandma I still haven’t forgotten how it felt. And I still wished that I hadn’t smoked that day. Because I still regret it, I ruined the last good relationship I had with someone)
Charlie Anderson
Grandma? *cries as he approaches him*
Asahi Anderson
Charlie Anderson. Let me be clear. *in a cold voice*
Asahi Anderson
if I ever catch you doing this again. I’m telling your parents. And also remember I’m not letting you off so easily because you are important to me. I’m doing so because your mother isn’t well and your father is stressed do you understand?
Charlie Anderson
*crying* I’m so sorry I’m really sorry…
Charlie Anderson
Hic.. Hic..
Asahi Anderson
Do you understand me Charlie? *cold tone*
Charlie Anderson
Yes I understand I will never do it again Hic.. Hic…
Asahi Anderson
.. *leaves with a frown on his face and closes the door behind him*
Charlie Anderson
*falls on his knees and starts to cry*
Charlie Sterling
(But little did little me know this was just the start of my misfortunes)
Charlie Sterling
(6 days later I tried a pregnancy test strip. It came back positive. And I was pregnant with Liam’s baby and he had no idea)
Charlie Sterling
(I was more afraid than ever but a part of me felt some sort of closure knowing that maybe. Just maybe even if everyone leaves and abandons me maybe my child would be there by my side.)
Charlie Sterling
(And maybe Liam will forgive me.)
Charlie Sterling
(The next day I remembered showing up at his apartment ofc he didn’t open the door for me but I had no other option but to sit outside his door and wait until he opend it)
Charlie Sterling
(I remember feeling so nauseous and sick but didn’t dare move at the fear of missing him by chance when he opens the door)
Charlie Sterling
(It was only after midnight did he finally open the door. And I finally felt like I could breathe as his pheromones rush through my nostrils and in an instant my nausea and all worry vanished away
Charlie Anderson
Liam! *jumps into his arms crying*
Charlie Anderson
I’m so sorry I… I fuxked up I’m so sorry please forgive me
Charlie Sterling
(I could tell by his expressions that he was trying to hold back his tears as well)
Charlie Anderson
Liam I’m pregnant… *whispers into his chest*
Charlie Sterling
(In that moment I felt Liam’s body tense up and when I looked up to see his face)
Charlie Anderson
Liam? *softly whispers while looking up to see his face*
Charlie Sterling
(He had the same disgusted expression my dad did when I told him I didn’t like school and that I’d rather be a house husband.)
Charlie Anderson
Liam what’s wrong?
Liam Sterling
When.. when did you find out?
Charlie Anderson
*sniffles and wipes his nose* just this morning…
Liam Sterling
*breathes through his mouth*
Charlie Anderson
Liam? *scared looking at Liam’s angry face*
Liam Sterling
Don’t worry. I’m right here. We will figure this out together. *hugs him back tightly*
Charlie Anderson
*cries more in his chest*
Charlie Sterling
(I ended up sleeping with him on his bed that night)
Charlie Sterling
(I remember dozing off to sleep in under a minute after all I haven’t been able to sleep that well but I could still feel Liam’s soft gaze on my face and his fingers occasionally brushing past my cheeks and hair. And his other arm firmly on my waist pulling me closer to him)
Charlie Sterling
(I felt a wave of relief flood over my body like the weight over my shoulders was finally lifted and the thought of having Liam and now our baby on the way, the two who will always my by side made me feel like I was over the moon but that was all short lived)
