Chapter 11

I wake up and rub my eyes, ridding them of sleep. I grab my phone off my nightstand and check the time. It's 6:32 am. I see I have a text from "Mikey Clifford". I'm assuming Michael put his number in my phone while I was asleep.

Hey I went out to hot topic to get clothes since I don't have any atm because of the situation I'm in with the guys. I'll see you at school :) xx

How is he going to get to, both, Hot Topic and school? I decide to text him to make sure he has a ride.

hey! do you have a ride?

I get up off my bed and decide to use the restroom while I'm waiting for his response. I do my business and then decide to brush my teeth and hair. When I walk back into my bedroom I don't see a text from Michael, so I decide to wait a little while longer. I go to my closet and look for a shirt to wear. I decide on a Metallica tee. I walk over to my dresser and open my drawer to pick out a pair of my endless supply of black skinny jeans. Once I'm completely dressed, shoes and all, I check my phone again. Still no text from Michael. Hmm.

michael? you there?

I text Michael again, hoping he finally sees my texts.

I put my phone in my back pocket and head downstairs with my backpack on one shoulder. When I get downstairs I look at the clock and it's 6:55. I grab my car keys and head out the door, not saying a word to my parents.

I walk into chemistry hoping I see Michael there. When I sit down I notice the seat next to me is empty. Michael still hasn't texted me back and I'm beginning to worry. What if something happened to him? What if he ran away because I kissed him? I thought to myself, hoping that wasn't the case. But what if he actually did run away because I kissed him? No, that's insane. He wouldn't do that. Would he?

-

I'm back home now. Still no sign of Michael. Maybe I should look for him? I grab my car keys off the table by the front door and head out to my car. I open the door and strap myself in, putting the key in the ignition. The engine roars to life and I realize I have no idea where to look for Michael. I decide to see if Nicole knows where the band lives.

hey nicole :-) do you happen to know where 5sos lives?

I send Nicole a text and she replies right away.

Yeah, why?

can i just pick you up and explain to you in the car?

Yeah sure. When will you be here?

in 5.

Alright, I'll be waiting.

aight

After I'm finished explaining my reasoning for asking where the band lives, she explains to me where I have to go. I'm actually not surprised she knows where they live because she's a complete stalker and would do anything to hang out with them.

Within a minute we're at the guys' house. Nicole and I exit the car and walk up to the door, ringing the doorbell. After two rings the door opens and I see Luke standing in the doorway.

"Oh, hey," Luke starts to say. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Well, Michael hasn't answered his texts all day and I've called him over and over and he said he'd see me at school, but he never showed up, so I'm really starting to worry about him." I rambled.

"Hey, Sophia, calm down."

"Sorry." I say shyly and look at the ground.

"You guys are welcome to come in and talk about it if you'd like." Luke smiles, making room for us to walk through the doorway.

Nicole and I walk inside and sit down on a couch in the living room. I sit next to Calum and Nicole sits next to Ashton.

"Sophia says that Michael hasn't been answering his phone and that he said he was going to be at school today, but he didn't show up. Do you guys know where Michael is or where he might be?" Luke sits down and asks Ashton and Calum.

"Well, Michael did come over this morning to apologize to us about the little conflict we had, but we haven't seen him since." Ashton explains.

"Oh, so you guys made up?" I ask.

"Yeah, we're all good now. He's welcome back here." Calum smiles.

"I think that he might be going to Nandos tonight. He usually goes every Friday around six." Ashton tells me and I realize that I have a date with Brent at 6:30.

"Shit." I mutter under my breath.

"What's wrong?" Calum asks me.

"I just realized that I have a date tonight and I completely forgot."

"Oh. With who? Michael?!" Luke asks with wide eyes.

"No. With this guy named Brent."

"He's not just 'a guy', Soph! He's your crush!" Nicole basically exclaims at the top of her lungs.

Why don't you tell the whole god damn world?

"Ohh! Sophia's got a little crush!" Ashton teases me.

I start to blush.

"Well, Nicole and I better get going so I don't miss my date. It's already five o'clock and I have to be ready by six thirty."

"Alright, have fun on your date, but not too much fun. We don't need a teen mom, am I right guys?" Luke winks at me and looks over to Calum and Ashton as they shake their heads up and down.

I laugh and say my goodbyes. I drop Nicole off at her house and head to my own.

I'm sitting on the couch waiting for my date, watching T.V.. I hear a knock on the door so I assume it's Brent. I turn off the T.V. and grab my purse, making my way to the door. I open the door, only to see a beaten up Michael standing there.
