Guys, I literally am so embarrassed rn. I'm really surprised none of you pointed it out, but the last part to the the first 5SOS book was an authors note and I wrote "You guys said you wanted a sexual...and I just wanted to tell you it's up with thirty chapters"..but sexual was supposed to be sequel and k never saw this and no one questioned it and I was dying when I saw it.
Just thought I'd stairs this!

Bella's POV
The morning came in a blink of an eye. I woke up to see Luke curled up on one end the couch with one arm wrapped around Richard, to keep him from falling off the couch.
I felt around the couch for my phone, opening it and taking a quick picture. The flash went off and with a small groan, Luke's eyes fluttered open. I blushed and shut off my phone.
"Sorry," I whispered, "You guys looked cute."
He chuckled softly, sitting up. He picked Ricky up and carefully put him down in the spot he'd previously been laying in.
"He crawled up to me sometime in the middle of the night, I'm pretty sure he was still asleep though, but he was whispering about his mum." Luke told me, fixing himself so he was sitting side by side with me on the couch.
I sighed, "I did that a lot when I was in the orphanage, it takes a while to process the whole thing. But it's not like my parents purposely left me, I can only imagine how sad he'll be when it all clicks for him."
"I don't want him to leave us yet," Luke frowned, "I just met the little lad yesterday and I already am attached to him. He'd be so fun to play rugby with or go to the park with or-"
"So let's adopt him," I blurted out. As soon as the words left my mouth I snapped it shut, my eyes widening.
Luke looked surprised for a moment, then something came across his face.
"You-" he laughed, frowning, "I-I can't."
"Oh," I looked down, embarrassed for saying anything in the first place.
Me and Luke aren't dating, he says he loves me but what if it's just as a brother? What if everything changed and I didn't realize?
Stupid me.
He grabbed my hand and pulled me up off the couch leading me to the balcony where quietly escaped the house. I looked at the time on the way out, it was only 6:34 am.
"Don't be upset princess," Luke held my chin so I'd look up at him, "I'm sorry, it's just that since-since, um... Casey, management decided to be very strict on everything we do. So, adopting a child is not going to be something easy to get by with them."
I sighed. What he was trying to say was that management regretted their decision of letting Ashton adopt me because I brought unknown problems with me-Casey-and put two bands at risk. I even killed a member, so yeah, I could see why management would be doing this.
"Then maybe I'll just adopt him." I stared at the ground with my bottom lip between my teeth.
"Don't do anything too fast," Luke said, leaning down to kiss my forehead.
I nodded and we stood outside for a minute before slipping back into the house.
Ricky was sitting up on the couch staring at the black screen of the TV. His head snapped over to us when we came back in.
"Good morning," He smiled.
"Good morning," Luke and I chorused.
The little boy slipped off the couch and came quietly running over to us.
"What are we going to do today?" He asked in a small voice, a smile growing wider and wider on his face.
I wanted to cry.
"Ricky, I think that we're all going to have to say bye to you later today babe." I mumbled.
Don't cry.
Bella, don't do it.
"What do you mean?" His eyes were no longer lit up and the smile almost completely vanished from his face.
"We're not your parents so we have to bring you to a place so you can get adopted and live with lots of nice kids who don't have a mummy and daddy either," I explained quietly.
With a pout on his lips and his big blue eyes glossy he looked between Luke and who were crouched down in front of him.
"But I want you to be my new mummy and daddy. I don't want anyone else. I want you guys to love me." He leaned forward and wrapped one arm around my neck and the other around Luke's pulling us in for a hug.
I heart melted completely. My eyes were squeezed shut so I wouldn't start crying and behind Ricky Luke tried to comfort me by rubbing his thumb over the top of my hand.
When I opened my eyes I saw a sleepy looking Ashton looking over at us with an unreadable expression. It happened, I got too attached.
