Can I Have This Dance?

Chapter 19

I woke up and stretched, feelings something different underneath me. I opened my eyes tiredly and saw Alex's face only a cm way from mine. I instantly jolted up and accidently nudged him waking him up suddenly, and causing him to sit up and pull me to him as if protectively.

"Sorry," I whispered laughing at him

"Oh, it was you, that's alright," he said exhausted

"Go back to sleep I'm gonna quickly go to The bathroom," I said as he loosed his grip around my waist, before going back to sleep.

When I stood up, I stretched again, hearing my bones crack back into place. I sighed and looked around the living room and saw the guys all asleep where as the girls were no where to be seen. I quietly walked upstairs and heard voices coming from my room. I sneaked in and saw Emily, Cassie, Aly, Amber and Katie sitting on my bed talking to each other.

"Hi guys," I said lazily, still tired

"She's awake!" Katie quietly exclaimed

"Why didn't you guys wake me?" I asked sitting on my bed with them

"You looked so comfortable in Alex's arms," Amber said smiling at me while I rolled my eyes.

"That is so not an excuse," I stated

"Anyway, what were you guy talking about?" I asked changing the subject

"Prom, my dress is coming tomorrow, what about yours?" Cassie replied

"Well my dress isn't coming until Saturday," I answered

"You guys have your dresses, don't you?" I asked referring to the other girls

"Yeah," Emily answered for them

"Does Alex know what colour your dress is?" Aly asked

"I'm not going with him anymore," I stated

"What? Why?!" Amber shouted

"Shh, he's going with Clair," I said disgusted

"He left you for Clair, he deserves to be woken up and beaten for that!" Katie said outraged as she started heading out of my room and down the stairs.

"Wait, I haven't even told you why!" I shouted running after her and pulling her back by her arm.

"What's the reason then?" Katie asked looking as if she didn't want to listen.

"Clair told him that he got her pregnant, then she aborted it and she blackmailed him saying that if he didn't get back with her then she'd tell everyone. He didn't want everyone to think that he was that evil, he didn't even know," I explained.

Katie and everyone else in the room looked dumbfounded. I pulled Katie back into the room fully and closed the door.

"I don't believe her though," I stated, making them all look at me as if I was confused.

"Look. The night she threw that party, we both found her making out with another guy in her room, I'm sure they went further than that because as we left they just continued again. Alex hadn't been with her since then, so how could it be his, if she was even pregnant?" I asked them

"Did they use protection?" Amber asked quietly

"Why would he have told her that---?" Cassie asked before I answered

"Yes," making her shocked since she didn't believe that he would have told me.

"But you can still get pregnant though," Emily said
