Fresh Start Fever

Endlessly, She Said

Leilani's POV:

"Okay I'll leave tomorrow," I agreed to Austin's absurd demands, I didn't expect the surprise in his eyes when I did agree it was almost as if he didn't want me to go but he brushed it off quite quickly.

"No!" Oliver's voice cracked as he tried to tell me how stupid I was being to let Austin drive me away but nothing he would say would change my mind, not now.

"I have to I can't be here with that monster!" I weakly raised my arm to point as Austin as I spat the last word hoping to cause some sort of hurt but he didn't even flinch. At that point, seeing how much he didn't care, I'd had enough so I stormed out of the bedroom we were arguing in.

As I moved closer toward the ugly yellow door that lead out into the empty hallways of the rest of the hotel I could slightly make out the scuffle that was now beginning to boil over in the room behind me between the two boys but I didn't go back to break them up. I turned the cold, metal handle and took the few smalls steps through the door and slammed it behind me making sure they'd hear it, not that I know why I cared.

I started pacing down the lengthy hallway following a trail of the same ugly, yellow doors the entire way down until I reached the room I wanted to visit but before I could knock and make my presence known an overwhelming tiredness crashed over my body. I stumbled backwards and leaned against the door as my back slid down it only now realizing I'd forgotten my wheel chair in my fit of rage. I hadn't walked far but it was enough to make my legs crumble beneath me and that's exactly what they were doing. In the back of my mind I semi consciously began to think about how this stress couldn't be good for the baby and I began to panic, I needed help. As I panted struggling to regain my breath I managed to knock frantically on the door.

"Guys, please, someone, help! Oh.. my... God, I can't breathe," I gasped what felt like would be my last words if I didn't get some water and soon. My head began to fall backwards almost as if it was being dragged and became a heavy weight on my shoulders as it crept closer to slamming into the door but as if on cue the door flung open behind me and whoever was there caught me as I slumped backwards towards the harsh, brisk tiles.

"Leilani?" Jaime's face lurched before mine as he tried to hold my limp body up but I couldn't conjure up a response, I was too weak and he could tell. "Uhh Mike I think you need to get out here," he called out almost as panicked as I was.

"Is it that important?" I heard Mike whine from the distance.

"More important than what you're doing right now," I could make out Mike's grunts in the distance, pissed off he was being interrupted from whatever he was doing. The area around me started to blur as I began to black out but I not before I heard the concern in Mike's voice as he saw what was so 'important' that Jaime had interrupted him.

"What the fucks wrong with her dude?!" hysteria filled Mike's tone as he became concerned for me.

"I don't know I heard yelling at the door and I came out and she was just there like this!" Jaime tried to explain through dismay.

"Don't just fucking hold her there dude pick her up and put her on the couch!" Mike directed and Jaime did as he said. I was scooped into his icy cold arms and hurried to the couch. He laid me down and Mike pushed him hastily out of the way. I don't know how I managed to stay awake this long, I was so tired, but I pushed to keep my eyes open longer.

"W-water," I pushed out. Mike stared at me with confused eyes as he leant down before me panic stricken.

"What?" I became frustrated with him but I couldn't show it, I didn't have it in me to argue.

"I ne-n-need water," I stuttered.

"Oh shit! Hime Time you heard the lady get her some water!" he demanded to his friend and then turned back to me, his facial expressions still washed over with concern. He hesitated as he lifted his hand to mine gripping it tightly, he searched my eyes for approval and I meekly nodded. Jaime brought back a bottle of water after what seemed like an eternity and handed it to Mike who tried to help me drink from it. As soon as the water gushed through my system my body relaxed and I felt relieved. I gasped out a breath of air and pushed myself into a sitting position on the couch.

"What in the world was that?" Jaime questioned.

"I-uh, well I may as well tell the whole story for it to make sense," I let out a sigh before continuing, "Austin and I we had a fight and he asked me to leave tour and then Oli and him started fighting so I just left and came here but I forgot my chair and I think I overwhelmed myself with the fast paced walking and the fighting and I just became really exhausted and collapsed I guess," I rambled out what felt like a mouthful and a half. The entire time my eyes fell only on Mike, a half naked wrapped in a towel, sexy Mike and I'm pretty sure he noticed me staring because he looked down at himself and then back up at me and flashed me a subtle wink.

"Sorry I was in the shower I didn't think you'd turn up dying on my doorstep at the time," I gushed and felt my cheeks flush a hot red and turned away making sure for him not to see it.

Jaime was oblivious to Mike's flirting and asked the obvious question that lingered in the air, "If you and Austin were fighting why did you come here to see Mike? He's your ex boyfriend after all.."

"I uh, just feel like Mike's easy to talk to and he can make me feel better," I talked more so to Mike rather than Jaime enticed by his cheeky smile and forever lingering 'Mike smell' so that he knew I wanted to be with him right now, alone.

"Okay then, well I'll leave you two to talk then," Jaime picked himself up from the couch he was placed on and left walking out a door that led to a back balcony.

"Do you want to go somewhere a little more private?" Mike whispered still gripping tightly onto my hand from before me on the couch.

"Like your bedroom?" I tried to hide my smile that wanted to break through the cracks.

"Correct me if I'm wrong but are you trying to flirt with me," I stayed quiet so he knew the answer to his question, "As I thought," he grinned and then continued to pick himself up off the floor and dragged me into his bedroom. I sat cross legged on the bed trying to look in the other direction as he dressed himself but managed to resist taking a peek as I sipped at some more much needed water from the bottle.

"So Dee left?" I tried to pick up conversation and slice the thick awkwardness from the air.

"Yep but I know that's not what you're here to talk about," he brushed off my attempt.

"How would you-" he cut me off as he sat in front of me on the bed now clothed.

"Leilani please, we were together pretty much everyday after the first day we met, it wasn't long but it was long enough to know you and I mean really know you, have feelings for you, feel attached to you, to know what you want to talk about," he reminisced, I could hear the sincerity in his voice.

"To hurt me," I changed the subject now trying to take a stab at him, which was probably uncalled for.

"I didn't-" now I cut him off knowing I'd made an unnecessary call.

"Mean to, I know, that's what they all say but anyway like you said that's not what I'm here to talk about," I changed the subject.

"So Austin, spill the beans," he pushed for the gory details.

"He asked me to leave," I said again as if he hadn't heard me the first time.

"You already said that. Why?" he was blunt he just wanted me to get the point across already.

"He found out that I'm pregnant," I wanted to turn away as I broke the news to him but I wanted to see his reaction, I knew it'd be entirely different to Austin's and I was right, it was. His eyes widened but not with anger but excitement, he bounced a little in his spot on the mattress and he had to contain himself from launching himself over the bed and crash tackling me. His reaction enlightened me and made me feel more calm, even calmer when he crept closer and wrapped his warm, toned arms around my small figure and consumed me in his beautiful aroma.

"Whose?" he whispered against my hair as he continued to cradled me in his arms. I shook my head against him gesturing I didn't know the answer. He pulled away gently but didn't break out touch completely, he still held onto the both of my arms.

"Mike I don't know anything, I'm so scared, Austin doesn't want anything to do with me and the baby and I don't know whose it even is. All I know is I have to call Michelle and tell her to get me a doctor and to book me a flight home, I need to leave," by the end of my ramble of words I was sobbing into his chest but he lifted me back into a sitting position and caressed my face with his soft hands so that I stared into his glowing, chocolate eyes.

"Leilani, I'm going to promise you something pretty big right now, okay?" he asked for permission and I nodded in response, "I promise you that no matter what, if the babies mine or Austin's, I don't care, I'm going to be there for you and the little nugget," his eyes were full of adoration as he promised me what felt like an oblivion of love and care and I melted in his stare.

"Don't make a promise you can't keep Mikey," I practically whispered as he still held my face in his hands.

"But I can keep it and I will. I'll call Michelle for you, I'll sort it all out. I'll even come back to Australia with you. Leilani I want to do this," he leaned forward and placed a tiny kiss on my forehead and as soon as he pulled away I longed for the suckle feeling of his plump lips but I resisted the urge, I was still with Austin. I think?

"Okay," I agreed, "But you can't call him, or her, or whatever a nugget," I laughed that filled me with happiness for the first time since I'd found out this morning and he laughed with me.

"Deal," he laid back on the bed finally letting go of me and exhaled a breath of what seemed like relief. "Not going to lie Lans, I'm pretty excited for this," he dragged his hand through his hair before laying in back down on the bed.

"At least someone is," I rubbed gently as the bottom of my stomach where a lump would soon form and let the excitement creep over in my mind, I wouldn't let Austin ruin this for me.

"Come on, you've got to be too," he tried to conjure up the happiness that he knew was inside of my heart.

"Okay maybe just a little. I'm scared more though," I admitted wilfully.

"It's okay to be scared but I know you'll be a great Mom," he reached out and drew circles onto my leg making goosebumps form on my skin.

"Mum, I like the sound of that," a smile formed on my face as I began to look forward to my future, I finally had a light at the end of my tunnel. A motivation, a reason, to be a better person.

"You'll love them," he confirmed.

"Endlessly," I whispered in a whimsical trance, daydreaming in seas of blue and pink seeing baby toys and cots before my eyes.

"Thank you for telling me," Mike beamed for next to me breaking me out of my train of thought.

"How could I not?" he shrugged as if he wouldn't put it past me if I didn't tell him but I brushed it off, "Mike can you walk me back to my room? I should probably start packing.." I trailed off waiting for an answer as I changed the subject once again.

"Of course, we can't have you collapsing again can we? Wouldn't be good for our little bub would it?" he was talking all giddy like to my stomach as he placed his hand on it and smiled like a kid in a candy store. The way he had so much adoration for a little baby that might not even be his was beyond me but it made me feel special and I liked it.

I could get used to Mike being the possible father to my child. Our child.
