I sit on the couch in the living room, curled up in a blanket. I just stared into the dimmness of the room I was in as it was like 3 a.m. I have always been one to stay up later than the boys. I roll over on the couch and see a laundry basket on the floor. I pull it over to me and pick up the item on top. It was a sweatshirt that belonged to one of the boys. I pull it over my head and snuggle up in it.
"Stella? Baby you okay?" I hear Michael's voice at the end of the couch. I look up to see him standing there looking over at me. I nod and sit up and get off the couch.
"I just have a lot going on right now Mike... I'm worried about college. And one more thing." I sigh and look over to him. He takes a step closer to me and looks down at me. I look up at him and let the butterflies fill in my stomach. I loved Mike. I knew that I did. I always have. I just didnt want to admit it because I was scared of getting hurt. Now I knew the thing that would hurt me was life without Michael.
"Hey, your crying." He says softly. I reach up and hang my arms loosely around his shoulders and rest my head on his chest. I feel him slowly rest his arms around my waist. We sway slightly, as he holds me.
"I need to tell you something." I say to him.
"What is it? You can tell me anything." He mumbles into my hair.
"I love you. I love you so much. Like I really really love you." I say, pulling away so that I could look into his eyes. They shine slightly as to suggest tears. He gulps.
"I thought you would never say that to me." He says. A tear slides down my own cheek.
"I love you too Stella. But you already know that." He says before pulling me in for the most heartfelt kiss. I grab his teeshirt in my hands and hold on tightly to him. There is nothing more that I could ever want then to be with him. He is my forever.
"What the fuck is this?" I hear Luke's voice from the hallway across from where Michael and I are. I pull away quickly and look over to see Luke, Ashton and Calum standing there. Luke and Calum just look furious but Ashton looks so hurt I cannot even bare it.
"We um... have been like this for a while now." I breathe out, wanting to tell them the whole truth.
I'm a totally idiot by thinking it would ever make a difference.
"When were you thinking of telling us? Michael! You betrayed us. You lied! Both of you." Calum just took it to that level. Damn.
"That escalated quickly." Michael muttered. Getting a little chuckle out of me but a death glare from the rest of them.
"This isnt fucking funny! I don't know why we trusted you Stella. Maybe thats why you didn't have any friends before you moved here. Maybe you were a lier back then too." Luke said with absolutly a blank face. Ashton grabbed his arm and looked at him angrily and Calum looked shocked too.
"Thats it you went too far Hemmings." Michael said as he took a step foreward towards Luke, his fists balled. I took this chance to break away from Michael and run out the front door. Tears stinging my eyes.
I rushed to my car and started the engine. I could barely see through the window on account of the terrible rainstorm we were having. Thunger crashed and lightening flashed across the sky. The wind was so loud I had to put the stereo on to drown out the sound.
The song that had just begun, was just what I needed to hear.
"My ship went down In a sea of sound. When I woke up alone I had everything: A handful of moments I wished I could change And a tongue like a nightmare that cut like a blade.
In a city of fools, I was careful and cool, But they tore me apart like a hurricane... A handful of moments I wished I could change But I was carried away.
Give me therapy. I'm a walking travesty But I'm smiling at everything. Therapy... You were never a friend to me And you can keep all your misery.
My lungs gave out As I faced the crowd. I think that keeping this up could be dangerous. I'm flesh and bone, I'm a rolling stone And the experts say I'm delirious.
Give me therapy. I'm a walking travesty But I'm smiling at everything. Therapy... You were never a friend to me And you can take back your misery.
Arrogant boy, Love yourself so no one has to. They're better off without you.
Arrogant boy, Cause a scene like you're supposed to. They'll fall asleep without you. You're lucky if your memory remains.
Give me therapy. I'm a walking travesty But I'm smiling at everything. Therapy... You were never a friend to me And you can take back your misery.
Therapy... I'm a walking travesty But I'm smiling at everything. Therapy... You were never a friend to me And you can choke on your misery."
I sped along on the road I was on and cried so hard. The words to that All Time Low song hit me so hard. They were how I felt. But then I realized something.
Those boys were right to be angry. I deserved it I know that I did. I was the travesty. I wasnt being a friend to them right now. Why did I have to let my fear get in the way of my honesty? I ruined it I did.
I drove too fast down the road.
I didn't see it coming.
A scream filled me throat, then was silenced by the blackness around me.
BAM. FUCKING PLOT TWIST. COMMENT
