"Happy Birthday Bella!!!"
I looked around the airport for the lad who had just texted me another happy birthday message.
"Boo!"
I let out a scream as my backpack was pulled from behind me.
I turned around to see four lads standing in front of me with bright, wide smiles over their faces. It was only seconds before I was tackled into a group hug.
I wanted to cry.
Boy, did I want to just cry.
"How are you?" Luke asked, something in his voice that I couldn't quite catch.
I shrugged.
"You died your hair black!" Calum cheered, pulling on a piece of my once brown hair.
I narrowed my eyes at him, nodding my head.
I smiled widely, I missed these boys a lot.
"Why aren't you talking?!" Michael groaned, tilting his head back in frustration.
I shrugged again.
"Well, can we finish the reunion in, maybe, a different place? How about we go pick up your bags from the orphanage?" Ashton smiled, clapping his hand together.
I raised an eyebrow, but just nodded my head.
Luke bit his lip, his eye catching the shining ring on my hand. I blushed and began following the lads out of the packed airport. I wasn't surprised that a limo waited outside for us, I mean, I wasn't really used to it anymore, but it definitely didn't surprise me.
We slipped into the limo, my eyes drooping even more as I read the time. These are the only people Id ever get up for at 3 in the morning.
"Tired?" Ashton asked, nudging my side. I slowly nodded my head, my eyes falling on the boy in front of me who 's eyes were burning into me.
Michael smiled at me.
"What's been going on lately?" Luke asked, attempting to start a conversation.I shrugged. "I'm going to pretend it doesn't seem like we're getting the silent treatment..."
I looked down at my lap, twisting the small promise ring on my finger. I didn't want to talk. I mean, I'd gone a whole year and a half without doing it...what was so different now?
Luckily, I didn't have to talk before we pulled up to the house. I was the first one out of the vehicle, only having to grab my backpack well everyone else had other things.
When I stepped outside the limo I was picked up and lifted off my feet then twirled around.
"Happy birthday, babe!" Anthony cheered, setting me back down on my feet. "Whats up with the limo?"
I looked behind me just as, one by one, four boys exited the car.
Anthony's mouth fell into an 'o' shape when I looked back at him. I sighed, knowing the whole introduction would be a lot harder since I was basically mute.
I sighed, turning back around to face the boys and stepping back. Only, when I stepped back, I kinda fell on to the grass.
Five boys hovered over me, laughing. I squinted at them, jumping to my feet and brushing myself off. I raised an eyebrow seeing if tripped over a few boxes and my suit case.
"Oh, yeah, I got everything ready to go! Surprise!" Anthony cheered. Him and the lads exchanged a harsh glare.
"Go?" Ashton asked, "Wait, who are you?"
"I'm Bella's boyfriend, Anthony."
That's when Luke and Anthony made contact before the blue eyed boy looked at me, then just stepped back slightly as his focus changed to the ground. I bit my lip.
"Y-you don't want to come back with us?" Calum asked softly, disappointment clear in his voice.
I sighed, looking up.
"Bella, why aren't you talking to us." Ashton groaned.
Anthony raised his eyebrows, "Um, she's been mute since she first came here..."
A gasp came from one, maybe two, of the boys.
Before I could process anything Ashton wrapped his arms from me, holding my so my toes were skimming the ground.
"I'm so sorry," He repeated over and over, "Im so, so sorry."
Then I was locked in a group hug of apologies and I felt bad for Anthony who was standing awkwardly outside the hug.
Finally, the boys peeled away and they were all crying and I felt horrible. I hate when people cry over stupid things.
"We're staying her for a few days, don't make a decision now. But we're here until the end of the week." Ashton spoke, "Um how about all of us go out to eat to celebrate your birthday! Anthony, would you like to come?"
I raised my eyebrow, really just wanting to comment, but Anthony seemed to read my mind.
"Urm, it's kinda only 4 in the morning...Not many places would be open."
"Haha, sorry. We're kinda on a different time zone still." Michael laughed uneasily.
I wonder who was still single. A lot of things happen in two years.
Does Luke have a girlfriend?
