Something Wrong (Chapter 7)

•Stella's POV•

"Let's go, Stella!" I heard my mom call from downstairs.

Today, we were going to the park for a family bonding time.

My dad sat in the driver's seat next to me mom, me behind my dad and my brother, Kian, beside me.

We got to the park in no time. This was the only day us four we're able to hang out for a certain time so we took the opportunity.

I got the bags out of the baggage compartment of my dad's car and look for a great spot for a picnic.

As soon as I found one, I immediately placed the things down and set the cloth on the grass.

"So Stella," my mom started as we all sat down and ate. "Luke told me you're together."

I looked up at her then to my dad then to Kian.

"Yeah..?" I said, trying to figure out why she had to bring up the topic now.

"I think that's great," she said, smiling. "I mean, his father works with yours, I'm friends with Liz and Kian is a friend of Ben."

I smiled. Knowing that your family actually agrees on your first relationship feels really good.

"Since when were you together, sweetie?" my dad asked.

"Three days ago," I sad. "the night we slept in the neighbourhood playground."

"Oh.. that time," my mum nodded.

"Yeah.." I mumbled.

"Well, Just tell me if Luke does anything bad to you, okay?" Kian said.

I laughed. "Kian, that boy's way too awkward to do things I hate. But I'll see."

"Hey, Stella," Kian tapped my shoulder. "Isn't that Michael?" he pointed at a guy in black jeans, a black shirt and some brown hair.

I looked over to see... It actually was. Then I remembered when I couldn't take him off my mind last night.

"Yeah.." I said. "but what's he doing here?"

•Luke's POV•

Where in hell is Michael?

"Have you contacted him?" Ashton asked. I shook my head no, walking back and forth the garage.

"I wonder what he's up to," Calum said. "He's never late like this."

"But guys..." Ashton said, making me turn to him.

"What?" I said.

"I don't know to you guys but..." he got up from his drum stool and walked over to us. "Michael's been acting a bit weird lately, don't you think?"

I shrugged and looked at Calum. Then his eyes widened.

"Yeah.. Remember when we asked if you and Stella were together?" he said. "When I gave him a high five, his face was just pretty normal."

"What are you trying to say?" I said, nervous. I already had a certain feeling and I wasn't comfortable about it.

"We're saying maybe Michael..." Ashton said, looking over at Calum.

"May be liking Tella," Calum finished.

I bit my tongue. This can't be. Mikey can't.

•Stella's POV•

"Just a minute," I said, getting up from the pick nick blanket.

"Michael!" I called then he looked.
