Austin's POV:

No matter how long I held the cold bag of vegetables to my bruised jaw the burning sensation would not leave. Neither would the embarrassment of having my ass kicked and the guys laughing at me constantly all afternoon, my dignity practically walked out of the room on me today. Not only had I sat on the couch all afternoon worrying about the bruise on my cut up face but I'd also spent the afternoon wondering where Leilani must have gotten to and as if on cue the door cracked open revealing her tiny figure just as I'd started thinking about her again.

"Dude stop staring at her," Alan nudged me from next to me on the couch snapping me out of my thoughts. I quickly pulled my head back into the direction of the TV making sure she wouldn't notice I was gaping right at her.

"So when do you tell us why Oli beat your ass and why Lani's been gone for the past what hour? Two hours?" I shrugged in response to Phil's question who sat on the other side of me.

"Not my place to say, it's her news," I bluntly grunted a reply. Alan shifted in his seat as he caught onto my hint.

"I knew it! I told you dude! Congratulations," Alan jumped up from his seat about to make a fool of himself as he began to run to congratulate Leilani. I grabbed his arm sharply in order to stop him and pulled him back to the couch.

"It's not exactly a congratulating manner when I don't want the kid," I huffed causing both of the guys to stare at me with disgruntled looks obviously appalled by what I had to say but after everything, they had no affect on me although their looks still did not fill me with any ease.

"Woah what the fuck dude?" Phil piped up.

"Yeah no wonder Oli fucking tried to break your jaw, I would've done the same," Alan confirmed not making the situation any more comfortable.

"Thanks man," I scoffed sarcastically.

"No wonder she's been with Mike this entire time," this caught my attention.

"Phil?" I questioned what he had meant.

"When she came in before, Mike was with her," he explained and it boiled up a new batch of anger in the pit of my stomach. Now it was I who lifted themselves from the chair on a raging path of fury straight to the bedroom. I could hear Phil and Alan following my footsteps cautiously as they whispered quietly between them probably pondering about what I was about to do.

Leilani's POV:

When Mike and I had arrived back to the room we made a b-line for the bedroom without crossing paths with any of the guys but nonetheless I could feel their eyes on me, especially Austin's. Immediately I sought for comfort in sitting on the bed, tired from the walk back and almost as fast as I ran to the bed I noticed the room was now slightly messier than before, from the fight presumably.

"How you feeling?" Mike pondered as his eyes focused on my every move, scared that I was about to break into a million tiny pieces. I found it adorable that he had so much admiration for me and so much care, his actions toward me definitely made me forget about Austin's hasty comments and decisions quickly.

"Aside from the lack of breath you mean?" He laughed at my snide comment and nodded a 'yes' in response, "Then I'm just grand," I laughed.

"So I can see you've already started packing," he changed the subject averting his eyes to the suitcase that laid out open on the bed where I had left it. I nodded and shrugged at in reply, there wasn't much I could muster up about the topic.

"Yeah but I couldn't finish it," I sighed thinking back to the ordeal with Austin and Oliver.

"I'll finish it for you, just sit back and relax," he peeled himself off the wall he was leaning on and started folding all my clothes into place in my bag but not before softly pushing my frazzled hair behind my ear and kissing my forehead causing butterflies to flutter in my stomach.

Watching him pack my belongings was as boring as watching paint dry so I decided to make something of myself and be useful by calling Michelle not thinking of what time it could be back home but not before quickly typing a response to the new message I had just received from Oli.

Oliver S: Hope ya don't mind the busted lip and bruised jaw I left on your boyfriend. I'm really sorry love about how he's acting but know I'm always here for ya, yeah? Let me know when you've got every thing sorted to go home or need any help :)

Me: Haven't even seen him to care if he's hurting, but no, I don't mind at all. Feel free to leave more ;) Not my boyfriend, just saying. Thanks but it's not your fault he's a dick. Thanks again Oli, really appreciated!

With that I exited my texts and dialled Michelle's number into the phone pad.

"Leilani?" Michelle answered happily through the speaker of the phone telling me that it wasn't late at all.

"Uh hey Michelle, look I need a favour," I stated jumping straight to the point.

"Sure, anything you need," she openly responded filling me with hope.

"A flight home, the next thing you can get?" it came out more as a question then a statement as I waited nervously for a reply hoping she could conjure up some of her magic.

"Okay maybe not anything, you have to finish the tour for your parole," she sternly informed me. The tone in her voice almost made me feel like a child being scolded for taking cookies from the cookie jar.

"I'm not even working!" I nearly yelled through the phone but calmed myself knowing it wouldn't work in my favour.

"What's so bad that you need to come home? It better be worth it," she sounded almost angry, frustrated even, with my bothering her.

"Michelle you have to promise me you won't tell my Dad, not yet anyway," I pleaded.

"Uhh," she stuttered not sure if she should comply, "okay Leilani but I swear to God if you're in trouble or you're hurt I will tell him," she warned me.

"I'm not any more hurt than I already am," I tried to joke but she didn't find it funny, "Okay I'm not hurt but I'm, uh, well," I began to back out of telling her.

"Spit it out," she began to worry.

"Pregnant," a tear escaped my eyes as I told her the truth. I noticed Mike watching me carefully as he listen to the conversation I was having while packing my bags and flashed him a smile letting him know I was okay and with that he stopped eavesdropping.

"Okay that's a good excuse to come back, I'll say it's a risk to your health in your condition and you need to come home to see your preferred doctor just give me a couple of days," she explained her idea.

I let out a sigh of relief and thanked her for all her help, "One more thing Michelle," she hummed in response, "Bryce?" she knew what I was asking.

"He was convicted of rape for twenty five years with the chance of parole after 16 years," she laid down the conviction for me.

"Of course the sick bastard will get out," I sighed annoyed that he would even have the chance of parole, I wanted him to rot in there.

"Welcome to Australia hunny," we both laughed at the pity excuse of a justice system before hanging up the phone.

"How long until we fly out?" Mike quizzed from the floor where he was dragging some of my shoes from under the bed.

"She'll call when she works it all out, not long hopefully," I told him.

"I know you're worried about this whole situation Leilani but we'll get through this, we can do it I promise," he comforted me as he held my hand lightly.

He leaned forward and pushed up a little so now that our faces were barely inches apart. So close that I could feel his hot breath on my face. In the heat of the moment I started to question myself as to why I was running back to Mike but when his lips grazed against mine all the thoughts fled away. His musky, woody smell lingered in the air urging me to deepen the kiss and I did only for us to be ripped suddenly apart. I looked down to the floor where Austin was now pinning Mike to the floor causing my heart to beat out of my chest in a sudden panic. As I took in the situation I noticed the bruises Oli did indeed leave and couldn't help but chuckle before snapping into reality of the shock that was unfolding before me.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I jumped up trying to pull Austin off Mike by his shirt but it was useless I was too weak to even make him budge. I looked up to see Alan and Phil standing by the doorway. "Do something!" I wailed begging for help but they did nothing but gawk at what was going to be Austin's second fight for the day.

"She's carrying my fucking baby ass hole and you try and get in her pants, you come in here like it's your kid and try and take her from me!" Austin yelled endless sentences as he pulled Mike up from the floor by his collar and slammed him back down causing me to flinch. I watched on as Mike's eyes rolled back in his head and I became really concerned, no frightened.

"Let him g-" I dove to the floor and tried to squirm in between the two on the floor but Austin shoved me forcefully to the side causing a sharp pain to form in my stomach. I crawled backwards along the floor and leant against the wall as the pain worsened momentarily in my stomach but then passed. I was shocked at the fact that Austin would ever lay his hands on me like that. I tried to lift myself from the ground but I was too weak, all I could manage was to watch on in absolute terror through blurry vision when the tears seeped through.

"Shut up!" Austin barked at me without taking his eyes off Mike.

"Don't talk to her like that you fuck!" Mike struggled underneath Austin's grip but it was pointless.

"I'm the fuck, really?" he laughed as if it weren't true.

"Yeah you are, really. You don't even want that kid and now you're acting as if you have some sort of ownership over them. Well wake the fuck up because you don't! And if you won't take care of Leilani and the baby then I will!" He defended me.

"Ahh trying to play the hero hey? Trying to be the big man? Isn't that nice? Well it's my kid so I get to say you can't go anywhere near it," he lifted his fist and the thought of him touching Mike brought out the unpleasant side of me, the side of me that ripped Cole to pieces. The tears dissappeared from my eyes when I ripped myself from my spot on the tiles and flung and weaselled my body between the two men forcing Austin to let his fist fall back down weakly.

"Fuck off Austin you don't get any say in this. I don't even know if it's you're kid!" I accidentally admitted in pure rage from beneath him.

"So what? You've been fucking this prick while we've been here too?" he accused me causing more hatred for the guy to boil in my stomach so I heaved my leg up to my chest and kicked it against his chest. Somehow, by complete chance, I kicked strong enough to push Austin back and get up but as soon as I was out of the way he'd gotten grip of Mike once again who didn't even fight the force that came down on him.

"No! We were together in New Zealand you idiot!" Austin scoffed at my remark as if I was an idiot not even bothering to look at me. In the mean time I was confused as to how Mike was staying silent while the two of us argued.

"If you were pregnant with his kid in New Zealand it would be dead Leilani," he harshly put it still not daring to look into my eyes. Mike's eyes shot open in horror at the thought and then dulled in sadness as reality sunk in that the child had more of a chance of being Austin's and it broke my heart.

"W-what?" I quivered as tears formed in my eyes and the uncomfortable ball in my throat rose threatening the tears to fall ripping away any anger I had before converting it into heart break.

"After you pulled that stunt in the car it'd be dead, you would've killed it!" he growled pointing at my stomach.

"Stop calling me child an it! And you don't know that for sure Austin maybe the doctors just didn't pick up on me being pregnant, maybe it was too early to tell," I rambled off excuses trying not to believe his reasoning. I wanted so bad right now for it to be Mike's and Austin was quickly ruining that dream.

"Get a test done then!" He demanded but I shook my head, "You won't because you know it's mine, you know you don't need the test. Tell me Leillani what's so wrong with it being my kid?" he begged cruelly for an answer, even though he already knew it.

"What's so wrong with it? You want them dead Austin, you want nothing to do with us," I sobbed stroking my stomach.

"Oh boohoo, go back home," finally Alan had interrupted after staying quiet the entire time.

"Man that's enough you're being a total dick," he tried to pull him out of the room finally letting Mike free from his grip. He scrambled up from the floor and stood protectively in front of me but I stepped forward so I could make my next point clear.

"No seriously it's fine, it just makes it easier to go home," I sighed as more tears escaped, "and to do this," I paired my two hands together and watched Austin's eyes fall to them and his eyes widen, he knew what I was about to do. I pulled my hands apart and gripped tightly onto the amber stone that sat perfectly on my skinny finger before yanking it off and placing it gently in his giant, calloused hand.

"I'm losing you again?" me doing that made him realise and come to his senses about what an idiot he was being but it was too late for me to forgive him now. Ironically I could only laugh at his sudden display of distraught.

"What did you expect Austin? After neglecting the baby before it's even breathing, after treating me the way you did this afternoon. Of course you're losing me and you don't get to be sad about it because this is your fault," I spat at him.

"I want you Lani, baby please. We can work around this we can work something out with the baby, we can consider ab-" I cut him off before he could even say the sickening word.

"Don't you dare even say that word, how dare you even consider it a plausible option. This baby is apart of me now and obviously you can't handle that, you're not mature enough for that sort of commitment, hell you're probably not committed enough for me, you'd just go back home after this tour and never see me again," now I accused him but he shook his head frantically.

"I can't lose you again, not to him," he begged sneering at Mike.

"You're too late Austin," I took a few steps backwards closer to Mike's side and buried myself into his warm embrace as he pulled me into his arms. Alan and Phil dragged a miserable, broken hearted Austin from the room leaving me to sob in Mike's toned arms for hours about 'how unfair it was for Austin to be upset' and how it's 'his fault' and to cry out a bunch of 'how dare he's'.

Not that I knew it in that moment but they were the last words I'd ever say to Austin again but I was okay with that, it made me content with leaving knowing how much of an ass hole he was being. To swear his love for me in front of thousands of fans only to abandon me the next day and then beg for my forgiveness only if I were to get rid of my baby.
