chapter thirty:-

stella's pov:-

i slowly opened my eyes, and looked behind me. michael was still asleep, and he was still hugging me.

i pulled his hand away and slowly got up, he started moving, ended up grabbing a pillow and hugging it.

aww, what a cutie.

i looked around and noticed everyone was still asleep, except for ashton. he wasn't there. so i went and looked for him. i ended up finding him in the kitchen.

"good morning!" i greeted. "whatcha doin'?"

"morning." he smiled. "i'm cooking breakfast."

"don't they have a breakfast buffet down there?" i asked confused.

"they do, but i'm sick of breakfast buffets," he answered.

"what are you cooking? i'll help." i stood up and walked next to him.

"umm, pancakes, eggs, bacon.. i think that's everything."

"okay!"

he made the eggs while i made the pancakes.

"go wake them up!" i told him.

he nodded and walked away.

"wait!" i called out. "chocolate or fruits?"

"both." he smiled, walking away.

i placed two pancakes in each plate, took the chocolate syrup and put some of it on each plate. i quickly cut some bananas and strawberries and placed them on top.

beautiful.

"breakfast's ready!" i yelled.

picking up two plates, i walked outside and started heading to the girl's room. i started kicking the door, since i couldn't knock, and gabi opened it for me.

"breakfast." i smiled at her.

"wow, thanks." she smiled back at me. "i'll get dressed and we'll be there in a minute."

"okay."

i headed back to the boys room and walked in, they were all sitting around the table eating pancakes.

"you were supposed to start with the eggs and bacon!" i glared them.

"but the pancakes looked good!" ashton argued.

"and i thought you were the oldest.." i mumbled under my breath.

they laughed at me and continued eating their pancakes.

"babe, these are so freaking good!" michael complimented with a mouthful of food. "you should just come on tour and cook breakfast for me! i'm tired of ashton's food!"

"first of all, stop talking, your mouth is full." i glared at him. "second, no. you're going to eat ashton's food, he's a good cook, okay?"

"thanks stel!" ashton smiled at me.

"michael, you have to get ready! the show starts in a few hours!"

"no, i wanna stay here with you and cuddle!" michael pouted.

"michael, all we did yesterday after your show was eat and cuddle." i groaned. "you need to go."

i picked up his white sweatshirt and black pants, throwing it at him.

"go get ready! now!"

he groaned, "fine."

he walked into the bathroom and spent 15 minutes getting ready. when he came out, he kissed my cheek and left the room. i picked up my phone and walked outside, sitting beside emily and gabi.

"are we going to go watch the boys?" emily asked.

"i don't know, do you want to?" gabi asked both of us.

"we went to yesterday's show," i answered. "i think we should stay here today. maybe cook dinner for them, they're gonna be really tired."

"yeah, i think that's a great idea." emily nodded her head. "i'll go talk to luke."

she stood up and walked to luke's room.

i turned to gabi and asked, "did you talk to calum?"

"no." she sighed. "i didn't get the chance to talk to him."

"gabs, you need to do it before we leave," i told her. "today's our second day here, we have five more days. do it, today."

"what if he doesn't like me back, stel?"

"he likes you back!" i exclaimed.

"he's gonna hear you!" she glared at me.

"sorry," i apologized. "but really, he does like you back! just give it a try! admitting your feelings won't kill you."

"fine, i'll do it tonight, after dinner."

"good job."

a few minutes later, the guys and emily walked out.

"stel, you coming?" michael asked.

"no, love. i'll be staying here today," i answered. "but i'll be here when you're back."

"but i want you to come with me." he pulled me closer, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"not today, okay?" i smiled, placing both of my hands on his cheek. "i'll be at tomorrow's show, okay?"

"fine." he sighed. "we'll be leaving now. i love you"

"i love you too, baby." i smiled at him. "take care."

he gave me a quick kiss and walked away.

"bye, you guys!" i waved at the others and they all waved back, saying bye.

"you two are so cute!" emily screamed. "i cant get enough of you two!"

"i know right?" gabi clapped her hands. "they're the best couple ever!"

"i'm right here!" i waved my hands, but they ignored me and continued fangirling.

i sat down next to them, ignoring whatever they were saying about me and michael and unlocked my phone. i was scrolling through my instagram's explore page when something caught my eye.

i clicked on a picture with my face on it, and read the caption.

"exposingstella: you guys really think she loves michael? and michael loves her? stop imagining things. they're fake. they're not really dating, they're just lying to you guys. can't you see it? michael isn't happy whenever she's around. why would he even date someone like that? she's ugly as hell. michael, love, you can do better."

i stared at the screen, my eyes widening and my mouth forming an "O" shape. i had no idea what to do. i did something even stupider, i scrolled through the comments, everyone was just agreeing with what the person was saying.

i threw my phone at the couch and ran into the bathroom. i sat down, hugging my knees and cried my eyes out. i ignored emily and gabi's screams.

"stel?"

"what happened? oh my god, are you okay?"

"stella, tell us what's wrong!"

"stop ignoring us!"

but i couldn't answer them, i was too busy crying. i had a lot going through my head.

am i really not good enough for michael? am i really that ugly? i don't even know what i did, why would people hate me so much?
