Lexi's POV (December 31st 2014)

I was just relaxing on the sofa, stretching my feet out.

"You looking forward to tonight?" Chris questioned as Faye plonked down beside him heavily.

"Yeah, it's been ages since I've had a good party" I giggled covering up the fact that I would have to avoid drinking any ounce of alcohol because of the baby.

"How does it feel being 18?" Brooke questioned sweetly.

"Doesn't feel any different" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Who is even coming tonight?" Chelsea asked as she placed Bradley on the floor with a selection of toys.

"Lex?" Brooke asked, waving her hands infront of my face before actioning for me to move my legs.

"Earth to Lexi" Meli shouted as she sat down beside Bradley.

"Er what sorry?" I said. I had got distracted whilst looking at Bradley.

"She's probably tired" Jess called.

"Yeah, she's been chatting to James all bloody night" Barclay sulked jokily. Jess playfully slapped his arm. Barc pouted and Jess placed a soft peck upon his lips.

"Oh Lexi, are you together yet?" Chelsea winked.

"Course not, he's my best friend" I laughed. They were going to kill me when they find out. If they find out.

"Urm, I'm going to have a bath" I called out before getting off the sofa and grabbing my phone.

"Don't be too long, you will like a prune" Charlie called out.

"You've just turned 15 Char, your still a young boy, you don't even have to be here tonight" I giggled.

Charlie pouted "Oh can I go mum, please?"

Jess looked at me shocked look. I felt the colour drain from my cheeks.

"Course you can sweetie, but you have to ask your dad" I croaked out. I had a scary thought. Charlie was my son. Our son. He wanted to go out and I wouldn't let him. Then he asked James and he agreed and told me to let him have fun.

"James" Charlie called out. Oh fuck.

"What?" He asked as he came in the room, a towel wrapped around his torso and a toothbrush hanging out of his mouth casually.

"Mum said I had to ask you if I could go to the party" he pouted again as he pointed my way.

"Course you can mate" he chuckled, almost dropping his toothbrush. He walked over and ruffled his hair.

I felt like I could barely breath. I couldn't be a mother. I couldn't keep this baby. The more I thought about it, the more I knew adoption was the best option for me. For the baby.

"Still going for your bath Lex?" Jake asked.

"Yeah"

I walked out of the room and I heard footsteps in the hallway.

"Lex, your okay aren't you?" Jess asked.

"I just had a horrible thought when Char called me mum, and James was dad"

"He was joking, he doesn't know sweetie" she said as she attempted to reassure me.

"But it was horrible" I mumbled on her shoulders.

"It will be fine, Barc and I will always be here for you" Jess smiled warmly.

"Thank you"

"Welcome, now go and have your bath, and remember to wear your bikini, Reece broke the lock" she laughed before leaving me.

I hated spending the day at the house. The boys have a house in London, it's so that they can all stay together in one place.

Tom and Chelsea are looking for their own place because they have Bradley.

I liked having baths here tho, because Jess' place only has a shower. So I came prepared.

I walked over to James' room and got my bag. I slung it over my shoulder and made my way into the bathroom.

I began to get undressed when there was a knock at the door.

"Lexi" he spoke.

"What Tom?" I asked.

"When are you going to tell them? They will work it out. I only worked it out because your the same as Chelsea when she was pregnant" he spoke softly.

"Shh, I will tell them when I'm ready" I huffed before closing the door and slumping up against it.

I walked over to the bath and began to fill it with bubbles. I was stood in my bikini when there was another knock at the door.

"Tom, go away" I called as I walked over to the door, I opened it and suddenly felt a pair of lips on mine.

My eyes fluttered open.

"James?"

"Yes Lexi?" He smiled.

"What do you want?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"To talk, I've been thinking" he smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, come in" I smiled. He close the the door behind him. He was dressed in a T-shirt and boxers.

I slipped into the warm bubbly bath and James perched himself on the edge.

"The baby's mine isn't it?" He spoke quietly.

"No, it's Jason's" I replied, rubbing my body with a flannel.

"But I was working the dates out" he looked at me, looking slightly saddened.

"I slept with Jason a couple of nights before I came down to London" I lied.

"I wish that baby was mine Lex, Tom tells me all about Bradley and it makes me want my own one" he frowned.

"I'm sorry James, but its Jason's"

"He should stand up and be a father" James called out.

I pushed my lips together and placed my finger over them. "Shh, someone might hear"

"I don't care Lexi" James shouted.

"James just get out and leave me alone" I shouted back.

"Fine" he roared and got up and slammed the door behind him.

"Daddy's being difficult again baby" I whispered.

This was the worst birthday ever. I was pregnant at 18 and I was lying to my best friend. About the true paternity and the fact it was going up for adoption.

I clamped my eyes shut. I wanted everything to go away. This party was going to be terrible. I was going to be expected to drink and have a good time.

~ a few hours later, the beginning of the party ~

I stood in the mirror. I admired my reflection. I kept it casual.

I was wearing black skinny jeans, with a white vest which was tucked in and a black, floral kimono jacket. I left my long brunette hair down. My make up was natural.

I had been feeling sick all day. Oh bloody wonderful, my morning sickness had come back.

I turned around to see Chelsea, Meli, Brooke, Faye & Jess all beaming and dressed up.

Chelsea was wearing a white, v shaped, peplum top with black leggings and red heels. Her eyes were smokey and her ombré hair was down.

Jess was wearing a pair of maroon jeans, with a tight white crop top and nude heels. Her blonde hair was swept away from her face in a messy bun.

Meli was dressed in a short white dress, accompanied with a short denim jacket and one of Jake's plaid shirts wrapped around her petite waist. Her black hair was in a side pony tail.

Faye was wearing a bright pink skater skirt, with nude heels with an ankle strap. She finished it off with a White lace crop top.

Brooke was in a floral skater skirt, with a strapless white crop top. With baby pink, pointed heels. Her blonde hair was curled.

"You ready to party birthday girl?" Meli called out.

"Of course"

"I'm so excited" Chelsea squealed. "It's nice to have a night away from Bradley, although I miss him like crazy"

"Yeah, proper party!" Brooke whooped before leaving the door.

I walked downstairs and took in the environment. The house was decorated beautifully. With balloons and loud music was filling the air.

"Happy birthday Lexi" Casey shouted out.

"Happy birthday" everyone else hollered back.

I smiled and thanked everyone.

"Can you believe it's 2015 in a few hours?" Reece spoke to me.

"I know, that's mad isn't it?" I replied and he nodded, sipping on his drink.

"Yeah, next year we hope to have an album out" Casey smiled.

"And lots of tours" Barclay added, he was stood with his arm protectively around her waist.

"I hope it works for you boys" I smiled back.

"Let's do some shots" Jake suggested.

"Yeah" the boys called back.

"Birthday girl first?" Charlie asked.

"Na I'm good, make sure you have mine, but only one Charlie your only 15" I laughed.

"Why not?" Reece asked.

"Not feeling it" I lied before walking off and began to dance with the girls.

I looked around and saw how many people had big smiles on their faces. I would have to give this up. For years and that's something I don't want to do.

Then I noticed a new face in the party. She was quite slutty. Her short black dress just about covered her modesty.

"Whose that?" I asked Faye who was stood beside me.

"That's Shannon, Chelsea's sister" she shouted over the music.

"She's got eyes for James" Jess whispered. "Chels took Tom who told Barc who told me"

"She can have him, he's being a dick" I answered.

"Why?" Jess questioned.

"Just was"

Shannon was dancing her way over to James. Why was I jealous?

I walked over to her slightly.

"Hi, I'm Lexi" I smiled, holding my hand for her to shake.

"Go away" she snorted.

"But it's my party" I replied.

"And this is my man" she smiled.

"I think not" I laughed.

"And who are you?" I asked the boy stood beside her.

"I'm Blake, her brother" he confidently spoke.

"I'd like you both to leave" I asked politely.

"Na, don't want too" he cockily smiled.

Blake grabbed my shoulders and pushed me to the ground.

"Mate, leave her she's pregnant" James shouted out loudly, causing the music to pause and everyone to gasp.

I just hung my head.

This was not how I wanted everyone to find out.

A/N - so what do you think of Shannon & Blake? This is part 2, part 3 will be up tomorrow. They all know now, do you think they will work it out about James? Do you think they can convince her not to choose adoption? How do you feel about Lexi and James' tiff, do you think it's going to last long? & none of you guessed that it was TOM who was speaking to her this morning when she was with James!

Blake is played by Zac Efron & Shannon is played by Demi Lovato.
