Chapter 17
Elizabeth's POV
After Ed said 'I'm going to be a Dad', I literally froze. I could look at him and I didn't speak, neither move. How can he be a Dad? They never- Oh, wait they did. I remember.
And what my reaction was, it was wrong. I shouldn't have been mean to him and not let him come. And I shouldn't have kissed his brother. I honestly feel bad about that kid. He's really nice, but I just had to depress his brother just enough so that he would die. I am sad, but happy too.
Happy because Ed's going to have a beautiful life, with a beautiful girl, and with a beautiful kid, but I'm sad because that's not me.
"Elizabeth? Are you okay?" Great, he's already dumped on acting all lovey dovey and called me Elizabeth. I just want it to be permanent.
"I'm sorry." His eyes started to blur. "I'm sorry." A tear appeared. "I'm sorry." The tear fell. He hugged me.
"It's ok. We can still be friends." I whispered in his ear. I felt him shudder and he hugged me more tight.
"Friends or not, I'll always love you." I love how he speaked to me so...gently. He's a father now, and will always be after this moment, but I love him. And I can't have him, so I'll have to move on. The thing is; I don't know how. We pulled away and I showed my pinkie.
"Friends?" I asked him, wiping my tears with my free hand. He connected his pinkie with mine and whispered,
"Friends." Just then, his girlfriend came rushing down and screamed,
"You know what Ed? If you still love each other then I guess I should get an abortion, so you could live happily ever after!" I shook at her anger. I have never been more scared in my life by a girl. She is terrifying.
"We were just promising to be friends, Nina. And don't even think of getting an abortion." He said through gritted teeth.
"Okay, Ed. But you know that we'll also have to get married. So better be friends with her!" She shouted once more. She left the hotel and took a taxi home.
"Wow, she's a... psycho. I'm sorry to say this but she really is." I told him. I regretted it right after I said it, because now he thinks I'm trying to get in the middle of their relationship.
"I know she is. But now I'm forced to marry her and have a life with her. But I don't love her. I'm sorry." He said, looking at the floor, and playing with his shoes. I grabbed his chin and made him look up at me.
"It's ok, Ed. I can move on. But we'll always be friends, remember? What we did with the pinkies a minute ago?" He nodded in sadness and we hugged again in a rush and pulled away.
"Well, umm, I guess I should get going, I have to buy a wedding ring to propose to Nina." He said, sadness filling his voice.
"Okay, I'm just gonna be in our room." I said and went towards the elevator and waved goodbye at him. He waved goodbye at me too. Then the elevator closed and it started heading up.
When it arrived, I got out and went to my room and sat on my bed. I looked at my notebook and decided to write a song.

I think about you
Last Summer we met
We started as friends
I can't tell you how it all happened
Then Autumn it came
We were never the same
Those nights everything felt like magic
Pre-Chorus
And I wonder if you miss me too
If you don't here's the one thing
That I wish you knew
Chorus
I think about you
Every morning when I open my eyes
I think about you
Every evening when I turn out the lights
It think about you
Every moment every day of my life
You're on my mind all the time it's true
Bridge
How long till I stop pretending
What we have is never ending
Oh ohh
If all we are is just a moment
Don't forget me 'cause I won't and
I can't help myself
I think about you ooohh
I think about you ooohh
I think about you
Every morning when I open my eyes
I think about you
Every evening when I turn out the lights
It think about you
Every moment every day of my life
You're on my mind all the time it's true
I think about you, you you you you.
After I finished my song I started singing it for rehearse and it was great, so I called Stuart.
Hello?
Staurt, I got another song.
Great, if you keep on writing songs, we'll have an entire album.
Okay, I will.
If you want to, come record your new single.
Sure, I'll be there in 10 minutes.
Okay, I'll be waiting. See ya.
See ya.
Then I hung up.

I got inside the studio and Stuart was there.
"Great you're here. Let's start. First of all, what is its name?" He asked me.
"I think about you." I said.
"Nice. Now get inside." He said. I nodded and got in. I wore the headphones and took my guitar. I went over to the microphone and started singing my song.
I felt great singing in a booth. Most of all because I feel calm and alone. Like nobody can distract me and I can just be myself. I love the singing feeling.
After I finished the song, I got out of the booth and looked at Stuart for approval.
"It's amazing!" He said, with enthusiasm. "It's glad." I said.
"Come on tell me everything."
"What do you mean?"
"Stop pretending, I know it's about Ed."
"No, it's not."
"Shut up, you can trust me."
"No, it really isn't for Ed. Ed's getting married with Nina." I said. Stuart remained speechless at that.
"And she's also pregnant with Ed's baby." I added.
I felt tears coming in my eyes and I just ran out the studio and took a bus. I sat in an empty seat in the back and covered me eyes so no one could see my crying.
I felt eyes on me. They are suspicious in who I am and what am I doing. I tried keeping cover more and when the bus arrived in front of the hotel, I got out running and went to my room.
I didn't check who was in there and just jumped on the bed, facing on the matress. I didn't even take the guitar off my back and just cried there.
"Elizabeth?" I heard. I knew from the sound that it was Ed. I stopped crying and quickly wiped my tears away.
"E-Ed!?!" I screamed and got out of bed. Ed was looking at me, standing in front of the kitchen and window.
"Why are you crying? Wait that's a stupid question."
"Ya think?"
"Where were you?"
"Recording my new song."
"Cool. Can you play it for me?" He asked me. But I wasn't ready. If I play it to him, he'll know it's for him right away.
"Umm, I'm not in the mood."
"Oh, ok." He answered, with a hint of sandess in his voice.
"Did you propose to Nina?"
"Not yet. But I will, tonight. I'm gonna drop by her house in fancy clothes and ask her to go on a fancy restaurant with me."
"Okay cool." I said, trying to cover my sadness.
Then I took the remote and opened the TV. I started watching Austin & Ally. A hilarious series.
