Luke's POV:
Mary must have heard me talking to Michael and Calum last night because she brings it up.
"What do you mean?" I ask
"Luke, I heard you. You said I 'aggravated you' and I 'didn't understand.' It's nice to know you don't like me like that anymore." she says
"Mary, you didn't hear the whole thing. Let me explain, I-"
She cuts me off "You don't need to explain. I'm a bother to you. I just won't talk to you anymore, okay? Happy now?" she's raised her voice now, I've never heard her yell like this.
Good thing we're in the back where there's nobody else around.
"Seriously?" I've raised my voice too "Let me explain! I was telling them that it aggravated me that you didn't understand how much-"
She gets up and rushes out the door. I try to follow her, but by the time I'm out the door she's gone. I decide to go to her house, I've had enough of this.
It's a pretty good walk, so I have time to think. I guess I'll tell her how I feel, I don't know. Maybe I'll end it all for good, no more of this best friend thing. I'm so tired of not being able to touch her the way I want to. I can't talk to her the way I want to, or look at her the way I want to. I don't think she even likes me anymore,I am confined to the friend zone and I'm ready to start fighting my way out of it. Screw Ashton, if he doesn't like the fact that I wanna fricking pin his sister up against a wall and kiss her, too fucking bad! I love her, and I'll walk right through her front door and start kissing her, I don't care about what he thinks!
I get to her house, feeling pretty confident, and knock on the door. Ashton answers.
"Hey Luke. You're kind of early for practice, aren't you?"
"Yeah, Ashton I need to talk to you." I say
"Uh, ok. Do you want to go upstairs? Or...."
"Actually let's stay right here." I'm not as confident now, but it's now or never
"So, what's up?" he says sitting down
"Ashton, there's something I need to tell you." I say doing the same as him
"Alright."
"Okay," I take in a deep breath and exhale "so, as you know, I said a while back that I thought your sister was cute."
He nods.
"And we're best friends now."
He nods again.
"Well, I want to tell you that, within the past few months, I've started.... I've started to love her."
He stares at me for a while.
"So?" he asks
"So, I'm asking her out."
"No."
"What do you mean, 'No'?"
"I mean no, you can't ask her out. I won't allow it."
"You won't allow it? I'm not asking for your permission! I love her and I'm going to ask her out!"
He stands up "You love her? What do you know about love? I'm not going to let a little fuckboy like you mess around with my little sister!"
I'm too angry for this right now, so I run out of the house and take a turn to the side with Mary's bedroom on it. I take my phone out of my pocket and call her.
Mary's POV:
I just heard people shouting downstairs, and I could tell it was Luke and Ashton. Luke ran out a few minutes ago. I hear my phone ring.
"Hello?"
"Hey, your brother just pissed me off. Climb out on your roof."
I do and when I get out there, I see him standing on the street.
"Come on I'll explain later."
I climb down and we start to walk, I can tell he's mad. I can see the rage in his blue eyes and his jaw is jutted out a little.
We walk for a while before he stops and turns to me.
"What happened?"
"We had a little argument, I'm skipping practice today."
We walk to his house. When I go inside, I see his mom isn't home.
"Where is your mom?"
"She went out with friends and won't be back until nine."
"Oh." is all I can say
He closes the door and I turn around to look at him.
"Why did you guys argue?"
"I had to talk to him about something and we disagreed about something."
I can tell he's still angry, so I touch his arm.
"Luke? Calm down."
He closes his eyes and leans into my touch a little. Then everything changes so fast. He's pushed me up against the wall of the corridor with his hands. I smash into it and let out a little gasp. I could tell he didn't mean to hurt me.
"Oh, sorry." he says under his breath
Then he places one hand on my hips and one on the wall. He looks over me with his eyes while he bites his lip. I don't know why, but him doing this makes me feel some type of way.
Then comes the kissing. At first he just kisses my neck, sending waves of shock all over me. Then he starts upward, kissing my jawline, then my cheek, then my lips. The first time he kisses my lips is soft, but then he starts to kiss with more force. I try to get him to stop, but he's so much stronger than me.
"Luke," I say "Luke."
Something's happened to him, the kind, lanky noodle of a boy I know has been taken over by this strong, powerful person.
He stops and smirks at me "I've been waiting for this."
His usual soft tone is gone, replaced by a sensual one. In a way, I want to do this. But I also don't. I decide to give up. I mean, it's not like everyday someone like him wants to do this with me.
He proceeds to kiss me, opening his mouth a little. I open mine too, and put my hands on his waist. This is so much different than what happened a while back, we're not close to being drunk this time.
He starts towards the steps, trying to kiss me and climb them simultaneously.
"Luke, we can't do both at the same time."
He stops and we climb the steps, then rush to his room. We sit on his bed and I guess we make out, I'm not really sure if that's what you call it. Then he starts to push me back so that I'm laying down and he's on top of me. We still have four layers in between us, so we're not really doing it. But then, two of those layers get taken off and were pretty close to doing it.
"You don't know how long I've wanted to do this." he says
"Wait," I say "are those, are those Ninja Turtles on your boxers?"
"Yeah."
"Wait, so you spent the pass few minutes trying to be all sexy and....."
Then he kisses me again, longer.
"That was a good way to shut me up."
Then goes the shirts and we throw them to the side with our pants and his beanie. Somehow we switch and I'm on top of him, basically sitting on his lap. I don't really know what to do, but I don't want to admit it.
"It's fine,"he says"just follow me."
So I do and I must be doing it right because he's started to curse a little under his breath and he's letting out little gasps. I look at him and see he's biting his lip trying to hold back his moans. He reaches and puts his hands in my hair and then he starts to kiss me.
It's kind of dark in here, but there's enough light to see. I look down on him and he has this weird expression on his face. I see his blue eyes staring up at the ceiling, in a daze, almost as if he was in pain.
"Wait, do you want me to stop?"
"Dear God, please, no. Don't stop!"
We go on like this for a while until I finally have to stop. I lay down next to him. He's laying on his back and I'm on my side.
"Luke, I can't."
He looks at me for a while and says, "That's ok."
We lay there for a while, staring at the ceiling. Finally, he turns on his side and looks at me.
"Sorry about this."
"What do you mean?"
"Sorry for doing this, I just had to."
He then puts his arms around me and starts to cuddle.
AN: I am so sorry this chapter sucked but the next one should be better
