8 weeks later
Arriving back in London for a break, Tom honestly feared having to face Soraya again. The movie had been put on hold due to an impending hurricane. Shelby had insisted on coming with him and he hadn't been able to tell her no, which only made things worse.
He had tried calling Soraya the next day and a couple of time since, but she didn't answer or call back. And she didn't answer his texts either. She had probably given up on him, and he totally understood, he had totally blown her of. And she was bound to have heard of his relationship with Shelby.
Once they arrived at his house, he had to admit that he was relieved to see Soraya's car gone and her house dark and quiet. He also knew he wouldn't be that lucky forever as she wasn't on a tour as far as he had been able to find out.
Knowing that he has to face the downfall from his actions sooner or later, he settles for relaxing on the couch watching tv. Even though Shelby wanted to go out, getting seen, but he wasn't in the mood.
Later on when they were sitting in the jacuzzi in his backyard, he suddenly see the light on Soraya's back porch flip on. Tom almost jump out of the water. "Come on Shelby, let's go back inside, I'm getting cold".
"Cold ? The air is surpricingly warm and the water hot, so don't be stupid Tom, get back in". She looked at him like he had lost his mind.
"Tom ?!" He heard a very familiar call out his name from behind the fence and he turns around, glancing over the fence. He almost gasp out loud at how frail and tired Soraya looks.
He feels how his legs threatened to buckle under him. He feels guilty. He had given into the pressure, Luke's pressure, the fan's pressure and Shelby's pressure. He had bough a tabloid story, not even talking with her about it. He had given into his own weakness. "Soraya, how are you darling ?"
He knows that Shelby is glaring holes in his back, while Soraya just stares blankly at him. "Why would you suddenly care how I am ? You promised to call, but just left me hanging, you moved on, I didn't even know you were coming home".
Running a hand over his face, he tried to find the right words. He knew he would have to talk to her, to explain what happened. But he had no idea how to do it. "Shelby, could you please excuse us for a moment please ?"
She gave him a rather cross glare and opened her mouth, clearly to complain, but Soraya spooke before she could. "No that's okay. I have to get to bed anyway. You two enjoy your evening".
   As she turned and walked back into the house, disappearing from his vision, Shelby looked at him. "What the fuck was that all about Tom ? I thought you broke up with her ?"
  "Well I never actually let her in on that secret, I kind of just left her hanging". He sighed, looking at her closed door, knowing that he deserved nothing but her contempt.

Soraya managed to make it inside the house before she brooke down in tears. Of course she had known about his co-star, but some part of her had kept hoping he would show up, telling her it was just a scam, that he still loved her. She hadn't expected to have to see them together.
Feeling the dizzyness and weakness take over her body, she hurried into the living-room, letting herself collapse onto the couch. She curled up on the soft pillows gently cradling her stomach.
She stayed there, unable to summond the strength to get up and move herself to the bedroom. So she was still rolled up on the couch when she heard the front door open. Knowing it was Lulu she called out. "I'm in the living-room".
Lulu comes into the room, getting a distressed look on her face as she takes in the sight of her best friend. "Damn sweetie, you look horribly honey. Come on lets get you to bed. The nausea has really kicked you ass today huh ?"
  "Yeah it really kicked ass, and then it came back to take names later. Lulu I need something to take the pain away". Soraya smiled weakly up at her.
Lulu shaked her head, as she helped her up from the couch. "You know you shouldn't in your condition. Oh sweetie you have lost so much weight, I could almost carry you. You shouldn't be loosing weight, you should be gaining it".
Tears started rolling down her cheeks again, and her voice broke slightly. "Tom is home. He has her.. his co-star with him. I.. I saw them in the backyard, in the hot tub".
  "Honestly sweetie, I know you kept hoping, but don't worry about that asshole now. You need to concentrate on yourself right now okay ?" Lulu said softly as she helped Soraya into bed. "And now get some rest sweetheart, I am staying here tonight in case you need me".
Soraya wanted to tell her to go home. To argue that she was spending way to much time mothering her, but Lulu cut her of before she could say anything. "No arguing, now go to sleep, you need it".
Soraya woke up a couple of hours later, feeling extremely nauseous and dizzy. She tried to get up, but her balance is totally of. She is sweating and her pelvic area hurt in a way she was sure it shouldn't. Scared she called out for Lulu.
  She came running almost instantly, looking like she just woke up from a nap, but also looking very concerned. "What is wrong Soraya ?"
  "I am going to be sick, I need a trash can or something. I can't get up because my head is spinning and my whole lower body hurts like hell". She said, trying to sit up in bed, but failing, so instead she hung her head over the side.
Lulu grabbed a waste basked, placing it under her head. Then she sat down beside her, pulling Soraya's hair out of the way, gently rubbing her back as she started throwing up.
  After what seemed like hours, she feel back in the bed extremely spend, Lulu gently washed her face, trying to convince her to see a doctor, but she still refused. After all throwing up is normal in her condition.
She finally fell back to sleep only to wake up thirty minutes later to do it all over, and then trying to soothe the pain with opium, unable to take it any longer.
After that she passes out and when she woke up again, there was a paramedic standing over her, hooking her up to an IV.  "It is okay Soraya, you got really sick and we are going to take you to the hospital for a check up". He told her and She just nodded and drifted back to sleep.

Lulu was about to get into her own car, wanting to follow the ambulance to the hospital. When she saw Tom come sprinting out from his own driveway. "Lulu what happened, is Soraya okay ?"
She shoke her head angrily, straightening up and poking him hard in the chest with her finger. "No Tom, she isn't okay. She is pregnant with some fucking jerk who left her hanging. She found out right after you left. But she has been throwing up way to much, something is not right and on top of it she is battling an opium addiction. So no not okay Tom".
  "But why ? Why didn't she tell me ? And Opium ? Oh God that is why she acted a bit strange before I left right ?" He seemed unsteady on his feet when he got the news, and had to put a hand on the roof of the car to steady himself.
Lulu scoffed out a non humourous laugh. "She was trying to find the right time, she felt a bit unsure about your commitment for some reason. And she turned out to be right, you went with the safe choice and dumped her for some brainless bimbo from what I hear, after that she decided it was none of your business".
  "Oh God, I am such a fucking dick". Tom looked at her with such remorse and sadness, that she feared for a moment that he would break down in tears.
She slid into the drivers seat, glaring at him as she shoke her head at him. "Well you said it, not me, but I can only fully agree with your statement".
