this doesn't just happen!

~Chapter 27~

I took another mouthful of my beer as Michael rested his arm on the back of my chair.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah" I said smiling at him. He pecked me on my lips then on my forehead. It had been two weeks since my major break down about Shane and ever since then Michael's love for me seemed to intenify hugely. I smiled at Michael and cuddled into his chest.

"Forever alone" Calum said dramaically, looking up at the sky. I giggled with Lexie who was sitting on Ashton's lap with a beer each and Stella who was squished by Luke who was sitting on her lap bouncing and moving making her moan and groan.

"Chin up mate, you did get laid last night by...what was her name?" Luke said smiling at him.

"Lisa, Lyra, no. Wait...Lauren. Wait no. I don't know" he said scratching his chin and laughing. Ashton made a little giggled that sounded like a little girl, and Michael high-fived him. We were all sitting out the back of Luke and Stella's house.

It was sort of a house warming party for Stella even though she moved about four weeks ago without telling anyone. There was an esky full of beer and vodka and there was music playing in the back ground. It was nice to just sit and talk causally with all my friends.

Luke got up and cleared his throat. He turned around to face Stella and grabbed her hand. He tugged her arm and she was shaking her head.

"Come on" he whispered. She shook her head again and smiled.

"What's going on?" I asked curious.

"Nothing" Stella said.

"We have an announcement" Luke said standing up straight talking over the top of her. He let go of her hand and she slouched down, covering her face with her hands. We looked up to Luke - literally looking up because he was so tall - and waited.

"Your Pregnant!" Ashton yelled from behind Lexie. Stella gasped and looked up at Luke and saw him looking down at her with a questioned face.

"Luke I'm pregnant, fuck" she said looking at him. His face morphed from worried and questioning to relief. Stella shook her and buired her face in her hands again.

"We...are going to-" Luke paused and watched all of us like a dork trying to make it as dramatic as possible. "London!" she shouted stretching his hands up above his head. My mouth dropped and Calum started chocking on his beer.

Ashton cheered and Lexie shourted 'What!" Michael just sat there looking at Luke with an average smile.

I looked over to Stella who was now smiling widely. Luke sat back down on her and hooked one arm around her neck and she wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Are you serious?" I said sitting forward on my chair. Stella nodded and Luke cheered with Ashton. Calum was sttill chocking and patting his chest frantically and Lexie was singing some made up song about traveling to London on a unicorn for some unknown reason.

"And you knew!" I said hitting Michael's chest. He giggled and swallowed his mouthful of drink.

"Of course I knew, we're like..brothers" Michael looked over to Luke and winked. He looked back to me and smiled. "Oh come on, he swore me to secrecy" he giggled again and I let out a tiny laugh. He pulled me back to his chest and Calum finally stopped chocking.

"Your going to London" he said swallowing and gasping. I laughed and Luke and Stella nodded.

"When did you decide this?" Ashton asked.

"About a week ago" Stella said finally speaking.

"When do you leave?" I asked. Michael was intertwining his fingers in mine.

"Um...Tomorrow night" Stella said in a little voice.

"Tomorrow night!" Lexie shouted.

"I'm sorry I didn't you guys sooner" she said.

"That's okay, you just have to make up for it by buying us something" Lexie said smiling her cheeky smile.

"Well you won't be getting for a long time" Luke said with his big toothy smile.

"Wait what?" Michael said, getting taken back.

"How long are you gone for?" Ashton asked.

"A year and half. Only a year and half!" Luke said holding out his hand as to reasure us.

"A Year And A Half!" Calum yelled dropping his beer. Stella hid her face behind Luke and he nodded clearing not taking in our shock and surprise. Just happy that he and Stella were traveling to London.

I rested my head in my hands and tried to regain some sanity back. I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket and pulled it out. My alarm! Great timing!

"We need to go" I said to Michael showing him the alarm. He nodded and we both stood up.

"We gotta go guys" Michael said bending down to Ashton and fist pumping him. He turned to Calum and pulled him in for one of those guy hugs where they hold hands and pat each other on the back. Luke got up and they both hugged each other properly. Aww so cute! I smiled. I gave Lexie a hug and turned to Stella.

"I'll see tomorrow night" I said smiling and pulling her in for a tight hug. She smiled and Michael grabbed my hand.

"Ready?" he asked.

"Yep" I said. We looked back and waved again and walked through the house and out the front door. Michael got in the drivers side and started the car.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Yep" I said again. He slid his hand in mine and reversed out and took off down the road.
