¹⁷ A Secret Or Two

A Secret Or Two

How many events can happen in one night?

How many secrets can be revealed in one night?

Too many.

Friday night was that night. The night Michael Clifford decided to throw a party. The night Bella Marshall got drunk. The night Luke Hemmings went to Michael's house for the first time in months.

It all started at nearly 7pm. Bella got ready for the party and waited for Ashton to arrive. She sat on her bed, scrolling through Instagram in her short white skirt and the oversized shirt she tucked under her bra to make it look cropped.

She looked wonderful. The dark eyeshadow she added made her icy blue eyes brighter, almost like a bright shade of gray. She was charming.

Bella waited for a good ten minutes before Ashton was in her driveway, blasting music and dancing before even arriving to the party.

They drove to Michael's house, as they talked about random things and discussed what they wanted to do on Sunday night. Just a random besties night.

Shortly after listening to Blank Space by Taylor Swift, they arrived at the massive party of Michael Clifford.

Clifford was known for his amazing parties. Parents would be out of town for the night, everyone in their school would be in his house and the neighbors would probably call the cops.

But Michael didn't give a flying fuck. He enjoyed his party, talked to girls, got drunk, and maybe spilled a secret or two.

As Bella and Ashton walked inside Michael's massive house, everyone looked at them from head to toe. Girls were drooling over Ashton's curls and smile, while guys were smirking at Bella's short skirt.

Even Michael found himself smirking when he saw Bella walking between the crowd and making her way to the living room where her friends were setting.

He pushed the girl who was setting on his lap and immediately stood up, sipping the last bit of his drink before walking to greet Bella.. and Ashton.

" I was wondering why it suddenly got hot in here " Michael smirked. He opened his arms to pull Bella into a hug, a few giggles escaping his rosy lips along the way.

" you're drunk " Bella chuckled, after pulling away from the hug and taking in Michael's appearance. " and have orange hair "

He let out another giggle, as he ran his fingers throw his now orange messy hair. His green eyes were glossy, his lips were a darker shade of pink and were in the shape of a smile the whole night.

" it's much more fun when you're drunk " he shrugged, licking his lips slowly.

Even though Michael was drunk, he was still able to comprehend everything around him. He knows what he's doing and saying, and will probably remember everything he did by tomorrow morning.

Unlike Bella.

" now that's a nice piercing " Calum popped from behind Michael, shoving him a little to hug Bella. " hey Bells "

" hey Cal " Bella chuckled when Calum twirled her around while they were hugging.

" Kate touched my hair today in school and said it's cool " Calum excitedly said, his eyes wrinkling when he chuckled happily.

" progress, I bet she'll kiss you tonight " Bella whispered, a chuckle following after her statement.

" we'll see " Calum shrugged, then decided to bring a drink for Bella and himself.
