The Note

Chapter 5

Michael's pov:

I didn't know what to do. I just stared at it blankly, frozen to the spot. Just then, Ashton rushed over.

"Michael what's wrong? What happened?" He asked, holding my shoulders, making me look him straight in the eyes.

"A girl...she was over here and then...disappeared....left her phone..." I spluttered, the words trying to form on my lips.

"Michael, calm down, and tell me from the start slowly."

"I heard something in the bushes, so I rushed over and saw a girl spying on us and then she ran away, and she left her phone behind. And I'm pretty confident that she's the one who has been sending me those notes!" I exclaimed, running out of breath mid-way through.

Ashton went over to Luke and Calum, who had puzzled looks on their faces. He whispered something to them, then came back over.

"C'mon Michael, we're going to go home" He explained and he walked back over to the boys, me following.

Luke's pov:

When we got to Ashton's house, we sat down on the couch in silence. After what felt like 2 hours, I decided to break the silence.

"Shouldn't we give the girl back her phone?" I suggested, twirling it in between my fingers.

The boys all nodded in agreement, and I tried to unlock her phone. After a few minutes, I unlocked it. I looked for a number to call and decided to call her house number which was under 'home' and dialled it. After the third ring, somebody picked up.

"Hello?" Somebody asked. It sounded like a woman.

"Hi, this phone was left in the park and I think it might be your daughters?" I said nervously. "Or somebody's in your house" I said quickly, in case she wasn't her daughter.

"Yes it is, she lost her phone! And she is my daughter" The woman chuckled. I let out a breath of relief that I didn't know I was holding.

"Okay, so when will I give it to her?" I asked.

"I'll put her onto you" She told me, and then I heard a muffled conversation and then the girl picked up.

"OH MY GOD!! ITS LUKE HEMMINGS! YOU ACTUALLY HAVE MY PHONE AND YOU TOUCHED IT!!!!" She screamed down the phone. I had to pull the phone away from my ear before I continued.

"Am..yeah this is Luke" I answered, a light of red creeping up my cheeks. "When will I give it to you?"

"I go to the same school as you so you can give it to me tomorrow!" She exclaimed.

"Okay, see you tomorrow" I told her.

"OKAY SEE YOU THEN LUKEY" She shouted, nearly bursting my eardrum.
After I got off the phone, the boys looked at me.

"Well??" They asked.

"She sounds like a total nutter, her scream could shatter a window" I laughed.

"I can't wait to meet her!" Ashton exclaimed in mock excitement and jumped up and down like a little child.

Michael's pov:

When I got to my house, I was so nervous. All I could think about was meeting that girl. I'm sure she is the one sending those notes.

I went upstairs, taking two at a time, and I quickly changed into some joggers and a vest top. I went o the bathroom the brush my teeth. After that I tried go to sleep, but all I could think about was meeting that girl.

I didn't really have to meet her did I? The boys could just go themselves. But I needed to find out if de truly was the one who has been sending me these notes. So in the end, I agreed to myself that I would confront her tomorrow. I went downstairs and filled a glass with water, then brought it up to bed.

After an hour or so, I drifted off to sleep.
