someone to you || l.h ~ a.i

It had been over a week.

It had been over a week since Sofi got exposed and her true colours had shown.

It had been over a week since the group had seen Luke.

It had been over a week since Luke learned the truth.

He's been living in this misery of a mindset and has been pushing everyone away.

Anytime someone would offer to come over, he would shoot a text saying that's he's fine.

Clearly, he wasn't.

He's been drinking excessively because he finds that alcohol can hide his pain.

He would barely do anything around the house except drink on his couch and get massive headaches in the morning.

He wouldn't dare to look in the mirror because he didn't want to see the face that didn't believe his friends from that day.

Without looking in the mirror, he could tell he was pale. He felt tired and never wanted to do anything.

He would want to make himself better, but what could he possibly do?

Today was going to be the day he gets himself up.

Ashton was determined to help him no matter what.

The whole group gave him more than enough time, but Ashton had enough.

He resisted over a week of not trying to knock on Luke's door, but the desperation in him can't hold him back anymore.

He got ready and proceeded to drive over to Luke's place.

Ashton wasn't expecting much as he was driving over.

He decided to pick up some coffee since he was in need of a cup and thought Luke would want one as well.

Once he got the coffees, he got to Luke's place. He knocked on the door with his foot but there was no answer.

After trying to kick the door, he gave up seeing as that he can't get him up.

So he dropped his coffee down for a second while keeping Luke's cup in his hand and picking his cup up as soon as he turned the doorknob.

The door was locked so Ashton tried using things that could pick the lock. Somehow there was a bobby pin in the dirt. The only possible reason for this is because Crystal might've dropped it. 

Successfully, he hears a click which signaled he was able to get in.  

"Luke?" The curled boy called as he doesn't get a response.

He goes over to the living room where Luke lays on the couch fast asleep. Ashton was dawned at the sight in front of him.

He looked so peaceful but pale on the outside which made Ashton's insides turn.

He goes over to Luke on his knees to see if he can wake the sleeping boy up gently.

"Luke," Ashton whispers into Luke's ear.

He watches Luke still fast asleep as he caresses his thumb over his cheek.

Tear-stained cheeks. Ashton broke on the inside. 

"Breadstick," Ashton says with a small smile which makes Luke shift.

Luke eventually starts to wake up as Ashton glances a small smile at him.

"Hey, whatcha doing here? Wait, how the fuck did you get in?" He whispers as he realized Ashton was in his trashed-up home. Ashton responded with a small smile as he watched the sleepy boy awaken.
