Melanie's P.O.V.

~ One week later ~

"You're fucking joking." Izzy chuckled in the next room.

"Alright yeah, I'll take my time then ... How long are we going to be up there anyway? ... Yeah, I'll write some shit down before I come up ... See you then. Hey babe, guess what?"

I turned around in bed so that I was face up from the pillows, and I craned my neck to look out of the bedroom door.

"What?"

"I don't have to go up to Chicago yet. I can take my time!" Izzy yelled as he suddenly ran into the bedroom and began jumping on the bed. Since when was Izzy so hyped up in the mornings?

"Mm stop jumping, you're jiggling me too much," I whined as I closed my eyes.

"Aren't you excited? I can take my time in toddling up there! Axl still hasn't turned up, the rest of the guys are up there and they're just fucking around doing nothing!" Izzy finally stopped jumping and he belly flopped onto the mattress next to me.

"Why isn't Axl there yet?" I mumbled.

"'Cos he's a little shit that's why. But I'm not complaining, I get to spend more time with you." He said as I felt one of his hands take a strand of hair away from my face.

I opened my eyes to see Izzy looking at me with a loving expression scribbled across his face. He was also puffing slightly after his bed jumping, or should I say morning workout.

"Don't you want to spend some time with the guys though? Instead of me?"

"It sounds like you want me to go up so you can get rid of me." He winked as he slowly climbed on top of me.

Izzy pulled the sheet that was wrapped around my naked body off me, and then he pulled it over the both of us so it was like we were wrapped up in a cocoon. I was only naked because we may or may not have spent the whole night making love since we both thought he was leaving the next morning to go up to Chicago. Izzy began to kiss me, softly at first. His lips moved against mine in a gentle, circular motion, and soon his tongue began to trail along my top lip.

"Aren't you worn out from last night?"

"You can never have enough sex, my friend," Izzy replied quickly before he crashed his lips back into mine.

"I can. I feel a bit tender down there actually." I frowned as I tried to peel Izzy off me.

"Want me to kiss it better?" He whispered sensually as he nuzzled into my neck.

I stopped and thought for a second. It would be amazing if Izzy did suddenly go down on me; it was always amazing. Actually, I preferred it to when Izzy would "enter me" for sex - but it would mean Izzy would be left waiting for something in return, and at the time I was too worn out to have a morning sex act.

"Nope. Too tired; can't be bothered." I said while shoving Izzy off me.

He whined and reluctantly rolled off me, and I jumped up and began to walk off to the bathroom for a shower.

"Where are you going?" Izzy called out like a lost child.

"I'm gonna have a shower. Seriously I'm all sweaty from last night, and so are you. You should shower as well." I replied yelling behind me as I continued to walk.

"To annoy you, I won't shower then." Izzy cackled from the bedroom and I just rolled my eyes.

As I continued walking through the house, making my way to the bathroom, when I walked past the kitchen I (by habit) looked at the calendar resting on the fridge door. I slowed down, and actually stopped looking and noting the date. Hmm, my period's late. Only by a week, though, that sometimes happens. I should really go on the pill so this doesn't keep happening.

Izzy eventually left about five days later after he told me he had written down a few lyrics. I helped him pack and we jumped into his car and drove off to L.A.X., ready to catch the next flight to Chicago. I was actually feeling quite down since I suddenly realised I would be alone for quite a long time. Even if Izzy would call me every so often, it still wouldn't be enough. I would crave his conversation, his touch, his kisses...

"I don't want you to leave," I mumbled while staring out the window, as I watched the sights blur past.

"Yeah."

I looked at Izzy, who was concentrating on the road.

"'Yeah' isn't particularly an appropriate response," I said glaring at him.

He laughed. "I know. But hey, maybe me leaving won't really be much of a bad thing, you know? I mean, think of all the sex we'll just have to catch up on."

I rolled my eyes, but Izzy managed to catch it.

"Hey don't be like that," he chuckled, "but seriously - the both of us will be horny as fuck which means the sex will be unbelievable," He said smugly. "It'll be something to look forward to."

"I guess," I said glumly as I stared back out the window.

I felt Izzy rest his hand on my thigh.

"I'll call every night if I can. I'll be dying to hear a female's voice after being surrounded by those monkeys all day." He said and I could hear the smile in his voice.

"Okay." I said and I heard Izzy sigh.

"Look, you know I don't really want to leave either. Of course I'd rather stay with you, but I'm afraid it's what I have to do since I'm in a band, babe."

"I know," I said still mumbling.

Izzy replied with nothing, and I felt him remove his hand from my thigh.

After that, we didn't talk much for the rest of the trip. When we arrived at the airport, we found a place to park and we made our way through the building, trying to find Izzy's terminal. At one point Izzy got the shits with me since I kept telling him that it was towards the left, but he didn't believe me and he kept yelling back at me that it was towards the right. He glumly apologised when he realised I was right, and I secretly felt like crying.

Finally, when we found his spot, Izzy handed his ticket to the flight attendant and he put his luggage on the moving belt. Before he walked through the gate, he turned around and looked at me.

"I'm sorry I didn't believe you before," He said looking down at me.

"Okay." I replied turning my head away, and I crossed my arms.

"Well, I guess I'll be seeing you."

"Yep," I replied still not looking at him.

"Oh for fuck's sake, we can't say goodbye like this. This is shit." He sighed as he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly.

He patted my hair down and kissed the top of my head, as he squeezed me a little tighter. Then, I felt really stupid; I could suddenly feel the uncontrollable hot water fill in my eyes, and it spilled down my cheeks. Izzy must have felt the wetness in his shirt because he suddenly looked down at me.

"Oh, don't cry, Mel," He said softly, "if you cry then I'll cry." He continued while chuckling.

"Sorry." I sobbed as I closed my eyes. I'm such an idiot.

He grabbed my face and rested his hands on either side of my cheeks, and he stared into my eyes.

"I'm going to miss you, Melanie."

Then he kissed me; deeply. He wrapped his arms around me again and I moved mine around his back. Izzy then began to pepper kisses all around my face, and I couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, you don't have to kiss me that much." I giggled with a big sniff.

"Don't tell me what to do," He smirked, then he continued to kiss me all around my face.

I began laughing and I could feel Izzy's lips curl against my skin. He eventually stopped and he rested his head against mine, so we were nose to nose.

"Look at you go, dude, you're displaying affection in public." I laughed.

"I don't give a shit. If they're uncomfortable about it, they don't have to watch."

I smiled and raised my eyebrows in response.

"I'll be seeing you," He whispered.

I smiled. "Yeah."

Izzy stood up straight and gave me another quick squeeze before I waved him off and he walked through the departure gate, but it felt weird. I'd never waved someone off before, and when I could no longer see him walking, I was suddenly hit with panic. I didn't know when I would see him next, and I had no idea on how long his trip would be. I'd be home alone, with Ripley though but she doesn't count as a human, and I'd have not much do to. I suppose I can hang out with Deb, but I still wouldn't have Izzy there with me as I went to bed; no one to snuggle with. Maybe shacking up with a rocker wasn't the best choice since I'd probably never see him. Maybe I should have gone up with him? What if he can't control his sexual desires while he's up there, and he finds a new and temporary lady friend? What if she ends up being permanent?!

I eventually drove back home in Izzy's car with many more paranoid thoughts running through my head, and later that night Izzy called and told me that his flight was boring and that Axl still wasn't at the studio. Steven, Duff and Slash were, and they said that they'd heard nothing from Axl. It was quite amusing actually because then when Izzy started to rant about how irritating Axl was, I could hear the guys in the background agreeing and yelling out further opinions and comments. Besides that being quite entertaining, Izzy then became serious as he glumly told me that they might end up being up there longer than planned since they had no idea for when Axl would turn up. Great. I actually tried to convince Izzy to give me Axl's number so I could call him myself, yell at him and make him go up to record, but Izzy said no because he would get shitty and threaten me or something.

*

As the days passed by, Izzy began to call me less and less, and soon after about a week I didn't hear from him at all. Jeez, they must be busy if he can't make a simple two-minute phone call... I couldn't try and call Izzy as he didn't give me the number he was calling from. I tried to call Deb a few times, but every time I called she wasn't home. I'd leave messages, but I still wouldn't hear back from her. I was beginning to feel pretty isolated, and I started to really appreciate Ripley's company, as she was keeping me from going insane. We'd go for walks every day, and once we ended up walking to the same park where I met Izzy the second time, and where we planned to catch up for coffee.

Around about two and a half weeks after Izzy left, I really started to note the days that went past; I still hadn't got my period. It was definitely the longest time it had been overdue, and something must have been up. I decided to not go to the doctor and instead I made a trip to the shops, to buy a home kit pregnancy test. I'm probably not even pregnant, I probably don't even need to buy one of these things. Surely my uterus is just mucked up... Right?

When I was in the 'personal' isle wondering which brand to buy, I felt quite self-conscious and I hoped no one was staring at me and judging. I arrived back at home, I probably drank my body weight in water, and I waited until my bladder was bursting; then it was time to pee on the stick. When I awkwardly sat on the toilet seat, I shakily held the stick under me, and let fly. At the same time I felt relieved I could finally release my bladder, but I also felt incredibly anxious. I was really taking a pregnancy test. I could be pregnant. I had to prepare myself that if I looked down at the stick in another 5 minutes, it might be positive. I hoped it wasn't though. I wanted to look down and have it tell me 'negative'. But that didn't happen.

I sat there staring at the little pink stick, with the two blue lines forming telling me that I was now... a mother. What? Excuse me? All I could think was 'how?' How could this possibly happen? I'd always make Izzy wear a condom, always... except... crap. I suddenly remembered all the times Izzy had just 'pulled out'. Well, obviously he didn't do a very good job. Unless we actually did do everything right but a condom just accidentally broke one night? Also, where the hell could I put the test? I couldn't just put it in the bin, sitting on top of everything, and there was no bin in the bathroom that I could try to hide it in. Maybe I should just keep it somewhere in case it suddenly changes and says that I'm not pregnant? Maybe the test is wrong? But what if it's not? Fuck.

Every single possibility rushed through my head; should I call Izzy now? Should it be a secret until he comes back? When does he even come back home anyway? Am I going to be like 5 months pregnant when he comes back?! That'll be awkward. Would Izzy be happy... or upset? Besides the fact that this is incredibly unplanned, would Izzy want to be a parent suddenly? Because we love each other, of course he'll want us to be a family... right? But surely I'm not pregnant, I mean I haven't even had a case of morning sickness yet.

In an utter panic, I stupidly shoved the pregnancy test behind the septic tank of the toilet, thinking at the time that would be a fantastic place to 'keep it'.

Oh how wrong I was.

Well, she preg! How do you reckon Izzy will find out?

Also guys, I was just wandering around 'my works' and I realised that this book has been on wattpad for over a year now! My brain can't comprehend that. It's super scary to think that a little year younger version of me was writing away, not having any idea on how much fun it would soon be listening to all of your funny and supportive comments. I also had no idea on how many friends is make as well, so I'd just like to thank you guys :)

I hope you all had a great Christmas 🎄 and I wish you happy new year :) I can't believe it's the last day of 2015 tomorrow!!

Thanks for reading, voting and commenting :)
