It was now three days after Emma and I found out we were pregnant. Today, I was meeting up with Mason to tell him. Emma was meeting up with Ethan to tell him too. I can't wait to see how this goes down.

I drove over to Mason's house. I walked slowly up to the door because I was nervous. I got to the door, rang the doorbell, and waited. His mum answered the door.

"Hey Peyton, how are you?" She asked.

"I'm okay, how about you, Mrs. Anderson?" I knew her real name was Jessica but I liked calling her Mrs. Anderson better.

"I'm very good, thank you" she smiled, "would you like to see Mason?"

"Uh, yes, please"

"He's in his room" she motioned for me to go ahead up.

I walked up to Mason's room, knocked, then went in. He was laying on his bed with his eyes closed, listening to music and didn't even hear me knock or come in. I decided to walk over to him and climb on top of him. He was startled, but then realized it was me and kissed me.

"Hey babe.. This is a nice surprise," he whispered onto my lips as his arm was draped along my waist. Quickly, to get it over with, I whispered to him, "yeah. I wanted to tell you something"

"What is it?" He breathed back.

"Babe.. I'm pregnant" I told him, and he pushed me off of him to jump up, making me fall back onto the bed.

"YOURE WHAT!!!??" He screamed.

"I'm pregnant.."

"But we haven't.. Ugh!! Who with?"

"Asher" I told him and he flipped out even more.

"Your cousin Asher!!?"

"Yes.. I'm sorry, Mason. I was drunk at the party he had when you were in Melbourne visiting family. I had no idea we did until he told me when I found out I was pregnant. I'm so sorry Mason"

"Peyton.. You- you still cheated on me! I just can't forgive you for that, I'm sorry" he looked down.

"Mason, I didn't mean to.. I didn't know what I was doing.. I wasn't controlling myself, the alcohol was controlling me"

"Alcohol or no alcohol, like I said, you cheated on me and I still can't forgive you. Go date Asher since he's the dad of your child. Since I'm not the dad, I don't want to ruin your life with him, okay?"

"No, Mason.. I don't want you to feel like that"

"I think it would be better for both of us if you just leave, okay Peyton?"

"Fine.. I'll leave" I said, storming out of the room with tears in my eyes.

"What's wrong, Peyton?" Mrs. Anderson asked, but I didn't answer her. I just kept walking. I was going to see Asher.

I drove off to his house, ran around the back, climbed up the house, and crawled through the window. Asher looked at me worriedly.

"Peyt.. What's wrong?" He asked, helping me through the window.

"I just told Mason about me being pregnant.. He dumped me and told me it would be better if I was with you" I sat down on his bed next to where he was laying.

"I'm so sorry, Peyt, but maybe it would be better if we were together. Better for us, and better for the baby"

"Yeah" I looked at him at him.

"So, do you want to be my girlfriend?" He asked.

"Of course, Asher" I smiled. He then put his arms around me and pulled me down to lay beside him. We cuddled and I felt like I was where I was meant to be: in Asher's arms.
