~Michaels POV~

I really didn't want to put her in the adoption center, I can't do this. I mean would you want to put someone you love in an adoption center? I didn't think so.

We all walked to the car and got in. It was about a 10 minute drive there and we were quiet the entire time. No one said a word.

After a drive that felt like ages, we pulled up to the building. I glanced at Lauren and she simply opened the door with no hesitation. She waited at the back of the car for one of us to pop the trunk and finally I got out. I walked to the back of the car and looked her in the eyes.

"Lauren, we love you, please never forget that." I said hugging her.

"Love you to Michael." She said as I pulled away. Why did she call me Michael, she always called me Mikey before.

"Lauren?" I asked as she grabbed her bag from the trunk.

"Hm?" She looked up at me.

"I-I just- you need to know- we would adopt you if we could. And we love you, you know that right?" I asked.

"Michael I get it." She spoke, no emotions at all. She threw her bag on her back and walked in, not looking back once.

I got back in the car, and couldn't help but feel a bit angry. Why didn't I do something about this? I was here. Right in front of her, yet I did nothing.

"Mikey? You ok?" Calum waved his hand in front of my face.

"I-I guess." I muttered looking out the window. Ashton and Luke nodded and looked back to the front, and Calum poked me. I turned my head his way and he gave me on of those 'we're going to talk about this later' looks. I just nodded and looked back out the window. All I can think about is Lauren, but she probably hates me.
