Liam's POV
I was walking down the street. It has been 8 months since I have talked to Aurora, I really miss her I am actually thinking of calling her or running over to her house soon because I can't handle this anymore. I look in a window and see Rose in this baby shop. I decide to walk in to see why she is there.
"Rose?" I ask. She turns with a startled expression on her face.
"Liam? Uh hi! What are you doing here?" Rose asks.
"I could ask you the same! Are you pregnant? Isn't it a little early in yours and Harry's relationship for a baby right now?" I ask sort of judging the situation.
"Haha! Me pregnant? No no no! I could never ruin this gorgeous body!" She gestured to her body.
"Then why are you buying all these baby girl clothes?" I am so confused.
"Well you see I have a friend who is pregnant and I have her baby shower tonight so I need to buy all of this stuff."
"You are only friends with Aurora and us. And how come you are buying all of this stuff?"
"Did I say my friend? I meant my cousin, who is like my friend. She doesn’t really have any friends who are really around for her at the moment because she had a one night stand and ended up pregnant and the father doesn't want anything to do with the baby so she is all alone in this, except I thought that I would buy her a lot of clothes."
"Okay?" Who in their right mind would get a girl pregnant and not try to be a father figure? This world is so messed up.
Rose was looking through some onesies and I couldn’t help myself but look too. "Which one do you like the most?" Rose asks me pulling my attention away from the onesies.
"I… uh… I like that one!" I say pointing to a pink onesie with tulips on them. It reminded me of Aurora and how her favorite flower is tulips. I think to an alternate world where I never got famous and I got married and had children with Aurora and I bought her something like if she was having a little girl. My heart aches at the thought of not being able to have that life with Aurora.
"Oh that is perfect!" Rose excitedly grabs the onesie and heads to the check out counter. I follow her, I decided that I am going to go back with Rose to their apartment so I can see Auri again.
"So how is Auri doing? I haven't talked to her in months? I really miss her" I say to Rose.
"Well she is doing fantastic! But she is still really pissed at you, you really messed up!" Rose said angrily.
"I know I really want to go see her!"
"NO!!! You can't she doesn’t want to see you"
"But maybe she will forgive me if I just talk to her"
"She is always really busy and stressed out I don’t think that now would be a good time to go talk to her, maybe in like 7 months when things calm down."
"7 months?"
"Yea 7 months that should be a long enough time" I hear Rose's phone ring "Oh speaking of Aurora" She answers her phone.
"Rose!" I hear Auri's sweet voice ring through the phone.
"Yes?" I couldn’t hear anything that Auri was saying.
"You want me to go buy you what?..... Seriously you want me to get you that?...... Okay but what type of ice cream because personally I think vanilla would taste the best with sardines and soybeans" what the fuck? Why would Auri want sardines and soybeans on her ice cream? She hates sardines. "Okay! Chocolate it is then….. I will be home in about an hour okay?..... Just so we are clear you want chocolate ice cream with sardines and soybeans?...... What do you mean ew no? You just told me…… okay bye!..... Okay I wont forget the sardines" I give Rose the 'what the hell' look. "She is really into weird food lately, I think it is some kind of diet."
"Aurora doesn't need to be on a diet she is perfect" I say to Rose.
"I don't know, I just don’t ask questions anymore."
We leave the store and Rose notices that I am walking with her, so she walks faster and starts taking the way to Harry's apartment, damn I thought she was going to her place. I decide I will go with her because I have gone this far. We walk into Harry and Niall's flat.
Rose's POV
Damn it Liam! Why did you have to follow me! I can't go back to my flat because I know Aurora will be home soon, so I decide to go to Harry's because I couldn’t think of anywhere else.
When we walk into the flat I hear Harry call "Hey Babe, what are you doing here?" He emerges into the entrance, shock crosses his face "and with Liam?"
I shot Harry a glare. "Yea I ran into him when I was a the baby store you know because I have that baby shower tonight for my cousin. And he followed me" I nudged Harry in the ribs.
"Oh yea your cousin!" Harry said rubbing his ribs.
"So I need to talk to you privately Harry! Niall can you go outside and sit with Liam in the hall?" I call into the flat hoping Niall could hear me.
"Huh? What?" Niall said as he emerged from the kitchen with a pint of ice cream in his hand.
"Niall I need to talk to Harry alone about the baby shower, can you go take Liam in the hall so we can have a little privacy?"
"Uh sure I guess so…." Niall and Liam go out in the hall and I turn to Harry.
"Harry you have to see all that I bought!" I grabbed the onesie that Liam picked out. "Oh Harry! Look at this onesie! Liam picked it out when he ran into me at the store. I am going to tell that little angel that this onesie is her daddy's favorite!"
"Rose! Is that such a good idea?"
"Shhh the baby will never understand and I wont do it when Aurora's there"
"Okay, I have no idea how long that we can all keep this secret. I mean we all see him on a daily basis. We can't do this forever Rose! What will happen when we are all talking about how cute the baby is or if we go to a birthday party and Liam asks why he isn't going when everyone else is. This is just going to end badly."
"I know Harry, but we just have to go along with it because it is Aurora's choice and she would kill us if we told him."
"Can we come in our butts hurt!" I hear Niall yell from the hallway.
"Yea you can come in." I yell back. Niall and Liam walk into the flat.
"Hey Harry I was thinking since Rose is going to be going to that baby shower tonight why don't we have a guys night?" Liam said.
"Um… well I am actually joining Rose at the baby shower." Harry said sorrily.
"Well I have to go now…" I say as I make my way to the door.
"Why aren't you bringing the stuff you bought with you?" Liam asked, well shit I knew I couldn’t because I knew Aurora would be home so she couldn’t see the gifts.
"Well um… my cousin is at my condo right now and I don’t want her to see the presents and well Harry is so much better at wrapping than me."
"That makes so much sense" Liam said… wait what? He seriously bought that?
"I will come with you!" Niall says as he joins me and we leave the flat.
Liam's POV
I turn to Harry and ask "Why did Niall go with Rose?"
Harry looked scared, "Well he is also kind of going to the baby shower too…. Actually everyone is really going…. Well except of you that is."
"Why wasn't I invited?" I am so confused I didn't think anyone knew Rose's cousin.
"Well it is a couple sort of deal so Perrie and Eleanor were planning on going and then Rose swindled them into bringing Louis and Zayn to go and then I am going because of Rose."
"That doesn't explain why Niall is going." I say frustrated.
"Well um… he is taking Aurora…. Yea…."
"What do you mean he is taking Aurora? What the hell is going on? Are they dating?" I am so pissed how could Niall do something like this he knew how I feel about Aurora.
"Well no they aren't dating… Aurora isn't really in a position to date anyone right now."
"What? Why?"
"Well… um…. Um…. She is really busy with work and she just doesn't have time." Something is up I can tell.
"Well are they having sex?"
"Oh yes they are having passionate sex right as we speak"
"OH HELL NO!!!!" I got up and started heading to the door. "That is why he went over there! I am going to kill that son of a bitch!"
"Woah! Calm down Liam! They aren't having sex I was just joking" Harry was trying to pull me back in the living room. Harry started wrapping the gifts for Rose. "She shouldn't really be having sex right now." Harry was confusing me to no end why couldn't Aurora have sex.
"Harry none of this is making any sense!"
"She…. Um… has an STD!" Harry said.
"What?!?! Aurora is not the type of person to just sleep with anyone!"
"Well she did have a one night stand awhile ago, I don’t know say 8 months ago, around Rose's birthday… so she could have contracted an STD from that."
"There is no way that she has an STD from that one night stand!" I yell, I know she doesn’t have an STD because I know I don’t.
"Oh so you know about the one night stand…. But how can you be certain that she didn’t contract something?"
"Because I am the one who slept with her! Don't call it a one night stand please? It meant way more than a one night stand." I just lost it.
"HA! I got you to tell me! I knew about the sex already! And how do you know you don’t have a STD from Sophia I mean she slept around" Harry you sly bastard.
"I never slept with Sophia, it was never in my mind to do so! I only ever slept with Aurora" I say as I start running my hand through my hair, I stop. "Wait you knew I slept with Aurora?"
"Duh! Rose told me…. Actually everyone knows you slept with her…. But the Sophia part now that is something that I did not know" Harry said while he smirked.
"I should have guessed…" I just wish that everything between Aurora and me could have gone like I planned years ago.
Harry finished up wrapping the presents. Man I really didn't realize how much Rose bought until I saw it all wrapped up.
"Listen I have to go…" Harry said as he stood up.
"Can I come with?" I pleaded.
"I don't think that would be a good idea… you can just stay here and chill until we get back though…" Harry suggested.
"No it's okay I will just go back to my flat. I will see you later for rehearsal okay?" I get up to leave. When did I screw up my life so badly? I wish I could go back to before I auditioned for X Factor and I would just admit my love for her then.
"Yea okay. See you tomorrow man!" I leave and head to my flat and I just fall asleep as I look at all of the pictures of me and Aurora in my room from when we were littler.
