Unexpected

Chapter Twenty-One

I woke up still in Hannah's arms the next day. I got up and went down to the cafe. I got us some bagels and cream cheese and orange juice. I went back upstairs and hannah was still sleeping on the couch. It is only 5:40 so she can sleep another 10 minutes. It's Saturday and the cafe opens at 7 on the weekends. I sat her food down in front of her and picked up my bagel. I dipped it in the cream cheese and scooped it up. I bit into my bagel and searched for a channel. I watched a spongebob rerun for a couple minutes and ate the rest of my bagel. I drank my orange juice and almost spit it out of my mouth when I heard hannah fart.
"Hannah gross!" I said laughing at her.
"What? What'd I do?" She said rubbing her eyes.
"Nothing. It's 6 we need to open the cafe." I said patting her leg. She mumbled something and plopped back down on the couch.
I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth and hair. I threw my hair up into a lazy ponytail and washed my face. I went to my closet and grabbed my cafe shirt and some black jeans. I put on converse and heard hannah calling my name.
"Yeah?" I said tying my shoe laces.
"Someone's here to see you!" She screamed.
"Be right there!" I screamed back. I checked my full length mirror and started down the stairs.
"Avery." Michael said from the bottom of the stairs.
"Michael... What... What are you doing here?" I said confused to why he was here.
"I uh... Needed to use the bathroom." He said back.
"No I mean here in my house at all. Why are you anywhere near where I work and live?" I said coldly crossing my arms.
"The guys forced me to come here.." He said playing with his hands. He was nervous. I could tell. He always played with his hands when he's nervous.
"Are they here?" I said cheering up. I missed them so much.
"Y-yeah.. Down in the cafe.." He said looking upset.
I shrugged it off and slide past him. Not wanting to talk to him anymore. If we talked anymore id find myself admitting to him I still was in love with him. Wait. What? Did I just think that?

"Guys!!!!" I screamed running towards them standing in front of the bar that shows all the bagels. I jumped into their arms. "I missed you!!!" I said.
"We missed you too Ave." Calum said.
"Yeah! You need to come visit us next time." Ashton said.
"Not sure about that ash.." I said nodding towards the upstairs.
"You two didn't talk?" Luke said looking upset.
"We did. But it was short and not very positive.." I said rolling my eyes. I don't know why I was the one being rude to him.
"Avery." Luke said crossing his arms along with the other boys and my sister.
"Whoa what?" I said raising my hands in defense. "There is nothing to talk about." I said glaring at them.
"There is everything to talk about. You two almost had a baby. You were in love." My sister said.
"Were" I said. "Past tense."
"No. You two are still in love. It's all over your faces." Luke said.
"What? How? You just saw me for the first time in three weeks?" I said raising my eyebrows at them.
"Hannah said you cry all the time over him and said yourself you missed him." Ashton said.
"When did I say that, hannah?" I said glaring at her. I never did.
"Last night, when you first got back, every Friday night you get a tub of ice cream and watch their interviews only looking at the screen when Michael speaks." She said crossing her arms.

I was speechless. They knew. I was that obvious.

"Fine you're right." I said giving up.
"So why don't you go up there and kiss and make up." Calum said shoving me towards the stairs.
"It's not that simple. I was pregnant 3 weeks ago with his child and we lost it. We tore each other apart. We can't just kiss and forget everything."
"You won't forget. You'll move past it." Ashton said.
"You both got tattoos of a symbol of your child." Luke said.
"What? He got a tattoo?" I said
"Yeah. He got it a couple weeks ago." Ash said.

I sighed. I wish kissing and making up would be that easy but for this situation it wasn't.

"Could you come on tour with us for a week? Just one week. You can stay in one of our rooms or we'll get you your own room. Just try to talk it out little by little. Build the relationship back." Calum said.
"No. I can't just leave. I just got back." I said.
"Yes you can I can handle it. I was going to hire another person to help out anyways." Hannah said. "You should go Ave. have fun. Fall back in love."
"Please Avery?" Luke said grabbing my hand.
"Pretty pretty please?" Ash said giving me puppy eyes.

Maybe I should go. Michael and i couldn't ignore each other forever. We tore each other apart maybe we could build each other back up?
"Okay. I'll go. But only for a week." I said pointing at them.
"Yes!" They all said hugging me.

"What's going on?" Michael said coming down the stairs.
"Avery is coming on tour with is!" They said.
I smiled at him. His eyes lit up for a second and he gave a small smile.
"Cool." He said looking down.

Building each other back up was going to take a lot of effort.

"I guess I'll go pack." I said heading up the stairs sliding past Michael again.
"I'll come help!" Hannah said squealing and running after me.

when we were safely upstairs I let out a breath like I hadn't breathed in 10 minutes because Michael was near me.

I grabbed my suitcase and started stuffing if with my skater skirts and my cutest outfits. I packed my sexiest bikini and went to the bathroom to grab my makeup.

"Oooooh I see!" Hannah said giggling grabbing my combat boots and some black converse from the closet and putting them in my bag.
"See what?" I said.
"You're packing cute clothes and sexy bikinis. You're going to seduce Michael!" She said saying that last part way too loud.
"Shhhh! No! I'm not! I just... I like to dress nice for interviews. Pictures are constantly being taken of you when you're in public with celebrities. And besides. Michael told me awhile back he likes that black bikini, before he took it off me..." I said biting my lip remembering that night and how easy and perfect that time was.
"You are trying to seduce him!" She said plopping on the bed kicking and squealing.
"Okay. So what if I am? I can try to look cute while trying to make things better between Michael and i?" I said laughing at her stupid giggling state.
