Unexpected

Chapter Nineteen

Avery's POV

After an hour of walking down the same street I felt my stomach rumble. I walked into a cafe that I have never been to before. I sat down at a booth and ordered a chicken club sandwich and a coffee. I checked Twitter and saw a lot of people have been questioning where Michael and I have been lately.
One girl said: I bet they ran away together until their baby is born. 😍awe so cute but we want mikey to come back!
Another person said: that whore is trying to get him to abandon his career!
Why couldn't they stay in their own business? I sighed checking my messages.
Luke: where are u? We are all worried sick.
Ashton: Avery where did you go?
Calum: Ave where are you!

I ignored their messages and saw a new one, from my sister.

Hannah: Avery the boys just called me. We are worried sick. Where are you? Do you need me to fly out there? I did last week when you checked into the hospital but you didn't look like you even recognized me. I stayed for 2 days. I can come back. I'm coming back. I'll be there tonight. Luv you.
I checked what time she had sent that. It was 5 hours ago. How long ago did I walk out of the hospital? I only walked in the street for an hour, right?

My sister would be in Australia in about 20 hours. I laughed a little. She thought she'd be here by tonight. nope.

I knew she wouldn't get my texts so I just shrugged and walked to a hotel. I walked into the room I had booked for the next two nights. I took a shower and got out wrapping a towel around myself. I laid on the bed and turned on the tv. I turned it on the gossip show about celebrities.

"Next up we are going to be talking about the one and only Michael Clifford from 5sos. All of Michael's fans have been wondering where the punk rock guy has gone. He hasn't posted on Facebook of Twitter or Instagram in a week and a half. The star seems to of just stopped all interest in social media altogether. But we have also received some pictures of Clifford in bars. Here's one of the guitarist sitting at the bar just drinking beer after beer. Is are hot punk rock star heart broken? We haven't seen his girlfriend Avery Green in awhile either. There have been no spot info of Green with Clifford in a week either. Did their 6 month relationship end? And weren't they having a baby? Or was that truly just a rumor?"

I flopped down on a pillow and screamed into it. My phone started to buzz and I looked at the caller ID. It was Michael...

"Hello?" I said softly into the phone.
"Avery?? Oh my god you're alive. Are you okay?" He said sounding somewhat caring.
"What do you care?" I blurted into the phone angrily.
"I just wanted to see if you were still breathing. You just left the hospital without telling anyone." He said back.
"Yeah well I left because you were embarrassing me and I didn't want paparazzi all in my business for why I was even in a hospital. "
"Sorry about that. I wanted to see you."
"You sounded like you were there to kill me Michael. You were screaming. You were there to yell at me."
He sighed. I was right. "And you were drunk."
"I was just tipsy at the time. But I did go home and get drunk."
" you've been doing that lately I've heard"
"Well yeah I did just lose a child." He said flatly.
"I did too. I was actually the one carrying the child and I was beaten and that's how our baby is dead right now." I said beginning to cry.
"Avery. You shouldn't have stormed off that day." He said.
"What's that supposed to mean? It's my fault that guy wanted to rape me and beat me? It's my fault our child is dead? It always comes back to one of us blaming each other for our child's suffering." I said laughing coldly into the phone. This was ridiculous.
"Avery.."
"No don't 'Avery' me! You are blaming me for our child's death right now! You think if I had stayed at your house after you broke up with me our child would've lived to 17 weeks when we could've held him/her for whatever time he/she had! But I walked out and to a coffee shop for fucks sake and someone grabbed me and killed our baby! It's not my fault you don't want to be with me and broke my heart Michael!" I said crying. I hung up on him.
I woke up the next morning my eyes puffy and my stomach growling. I ordered room service and checked what time it was. It was 11. My sister would be here in 3 hours. I got up and got dressed realizing I fell asleep in my towel. I washed my face and there was a knock on the door. I opened it and thanked the person who brought my food. I sat down at the little table/desk and ate my food.
My phone was at 20% so I went down to the hotel gift shop.
"Do you have any phone chargers?" I asked the lady. She pointed to a wall and I grabbed the phone charger.
"16.50 American dollars." She said.
I paid and went to the stairwell. I walked up the first star case and heard a familiar voice.
"Avery!" My sister screamed running down the steps.
"Hannah.." I said with a sigh of relief. I ran up to her and we hugged for 5 minutes. We pulled away and she wiped the tears running down my cheeks.
"I knew I'd find you in the stairwell." She giggled. We walked to my hotel room and she set her tiny suitcase on the floor.
"Thank you for coming." I said sitting on the floor.
"You're my sis. Anything for you." She said smiling.
"So I kinda need to ask you a favor." I said.
"Shoot" she said grabbing some water.
"Could you go to Michael's house and get my suitcase. I heard Calum say they brought it back to his house."
"Yeah I guess." She said sounding annoyed." I'm not excited about facing the guy who knocked up my baby sister and broke her heart." She said.

Her attitude was sassy. Hannah never talked to someone with sympathy. She hates sympathy. She still let you know she was sorry but she didn't treat you differently. I liked that about her.

"So what if he asks why I'm here and gettin your stuff?" She asked sipping her water.
"Well tell him I'm going back to America with you." She choked on her water.
"You are?" She said.
"Yeah.. I thought I'd help you out with moms cafe and take online classes for college and figure out what I want to do." I shrugged.
"That's great!! And you can live in the spare bedroom of my apartment!"
