07: Breaking the Ice
Skylar Jacks from The Jets feeling uneasy on stage? The singer ran off stage during sound check a source says. She covered her mouth as she ran off stage, the three other girls following close behind..home sick? But Luke Hemmings, made her feel home again after their show as they both headed to a local ice cream shop...missing the cold weather eh Skylar?
Days past, and nothing was better than anything. Liz had an immediate call back home to Australia, something about Luke's brother, Jack having food poisoning.
Skylar still felt uneasy with morning sickness and learned that flying and traveling was a bad idea. Luke's bandmates were oblivious to her pregnancy, their only thought was food poisoning, something the other girls had made up for the idiots to believe.
Skylar's mom was back and forth, her attention on the phone all the time, always anxious to hear from Skylar's 7 year old little sister, hoping everything was okay living with her step dad.
Luke was here and there, all his attention to Skylar and what the future held, he had no guys to talk to, and it was slowly killing him inside. Luke did his best to keep Skylar calm and comfortable, even though he wasn't himself.
Skylar knew the secret couldn't be kept. It can't be bottled up inside, because one day the media will go crazy when they see a bump, or when she goes off stage with her hand covering her mouth. She was scared, mortified to the fact where sometimes she didn't want to go on stage anymore.
Luke agreed, knowing it was the best idea, but as soon as they find out, it was gonna be hell.
"I'm just disappointed that's all." Skylar's mom was speechless, her eldest daughter was pregnant at 17? She could barely believe it.
The two didn't speak.
"How can you be so irresponsible?!" She raised her voice a little higher, the two shifted uncomfortably on the couch, Skylar's eyes begging to tear up
"Skylar, you worked so hard for where you are now. And you just throw it all away?!" She snapped, pacing around "you told me, no matter what, you would never follow in my footsteps." her eyes closed, letting tears fall down her face
Luke squeezed Skylar who was trembling in his arms
"And now here I am, watching it all over again." Skylar's mom mumbled dropping herself beside Luke, who kept his distance making sure she wouldn't snap his neck any time soon.
"How long have you known?"
"6 days" Luke said almost instantly, licking his lips
She sighed while rubbing her face with the palm of her hands. She was frustrated and angry, she thought Skylar was always a good girl, her perfect little girl. She scoffed remembering 5sos' lyrics of the song she so despised.
Good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught.
"I just don't believe it." She started crying "Please tell me this is just a joke."
Skylar began crying, Luke biting his lips nervously.
"Have you told anyone else?"
The two nodded their heads, Luke explaining only the three other girls had known.
"You two need to tell management eh?"
"We know" Skylar whispered holding onto Luke's hand. Luke chewed on his lip nervously, taking his free hand and running it to his own hair.
"Want to do it now? You both have plenty of time before boarding the plane."
The two just nodded and sat for a minute, before taking out their phones calling their agents.

"Mike lets go, we have a meeting before we leave for America." Calum shook Michael who had his face pressed up against the car window.
"Why" Michael groaned, as he slapped Calum's hand away from his face.
"It's important, our careers are on the line here." Calum snapped. It's been two weeks, and his behaviour of being such an asshole has finally got on his nerves.
"I'll be out in a sec" Michael rubbed his tired eyes, as Calum opened the car door wider, exposing London rain towards him. Michael yelled, and cursed at Calum as he unbuckled his seatbelt.
Michael followed Calum into the building , letting the rain pour down on his newly bought t-shirt, he couldn't care less with everything on his mind.
The two entered being greeted by everyone else, there was tables set up facing each other, making a U for everyone to sit. Michael took a seat furthest away from Luke and Skylar, he had this weird feeling in his stomach when they were near the couple.
Catharine Taylor, head of their management team stormed into the room, with a stack of papers in her hand and many other people following behind her. Michael eyed her carefully as she breathed in and out trying to contain herself from exploding from something.
5SOS knew they never had actual meetings unless it was something urgent, an emergency, and if it were good news, it would have probably been over Skype.
"Luke, Skylar, stand up, go ahead."
The girls knew what was coming so they kept their heads low, knowing that it was tough for the both of them to explain the situation, they had seen them cry for two days straight in their hotel rooms, they never liked to see their best friend cry.
"Don't tell us your pregnant Sky" Calum snickered, getting an immediate blow to the shin from Steph's foot.
Luke's eyes went directly to his feet, and Skylar's eyes went wide, tears threatening to fall.
There was a silence in the room, Ashton almost throwing up from the two's confession. Michael sat there, his jaw clenching as he ran his fingers through his hair aggressively
"We don't at all want this to look down upon our two biggest bands of this label." Catharine paused putting her hand on her hip "You are role models to many adolescents, you are the biggest money makers, you all are the two biggest bands in the world"
"Aside from One Direction" someone behind her had coughed loudly, making another quite awkward silence.
"All this attention is on you, you two are the faces of your bands, you cannot withdraw from your contract."
Skylar sat down, Luke stayed standing up.
"What about the bab-" Skylar started but Michael interrupted her
"Why don't you just abort the kid? It's been like wh-"
"I will not abort my child. Never bring that up again" she snapped glaring at Michael who scoffed rolling his eyes
Catherine crossed something off from her notebook, everyone assuming it was the abortion idea.
"Why do-" michael tries to speak again by Puke takes his turn
"Fuck off Michael!"
The room went silent. Again.
"We have some other options available. The two bands would pull out from the tour, and continue after Skylar gives birth to the baby" Catherine states but everyone just asks her to read the other options
"You do realize we can make up a whole story, we can make the media believe what they want. We don't want this baby to be seen public."
The two nodded, they knew this would happen. They were too young to have a kid of their own, let alone raise one. They both agreed last week that they would have to put it up for adoption.
"The other options are the same, The Jets, you make more money than 5sos, and are more well known to your female image..we cannot lose that. We can give Skylar a repl-"
"No!" The three girls immediately snapped at the sound of replacement, Ashton and Calum both nodded, vide versa -they didn't want Luke to be replaced
Skylar stood up from her seat, her hormones going completely insane as she asked for permission to speak.
"Me and the girls had already spoken about this, we would pull out from the tour, 5SOS can just finish without us, Luke stays, and I leave. I can pretend to be sick, which could be a reason to why I am at a hospital, I'll be back in our hometown, no tabloids, no big media people, not a lot of fans, we got it all under control."
Catherine nodded at her proposition, the three girls nodding along, Luke on the other hand completely opposed of the idea, wanting to be part of this pregnancy too.
"I can't let you do that" Luke mumbled softly
"Speak up honey?" Catherine looked down at her tablet, typing things down
"That's half of me in there! I'm not going to let her do this."
"We have it all under control Luke, no one knows except the people in this room, employees had all vowed to keep quiet, you will get to see Skylar every now and then."
Luke paused, biking the inside of his cheek.
Ashton admired Luke when he was like this. When he knew he had to step up his maturity level, but Ashton was also disappointed in him. All the boys were, they all knew this was going to tear them apart.
Skylar looked to Luke in assurance before Luke had looked down at her belly.
Mom doesn't know. He thought
All under control.
Management had explained to the bands that they would be flying on separate planes, 5SOS straight to LA and The Jets, to Toronto.
The Jets were specifically told that Skylar was really sick, and they had to assure the world everything was going to be alright until everyone settles down.
The bands would be living in separate lives, The Jets, finally taking a break while looking after Skylar, and 5SOS continuing to make it to the top.
