Living With Luke // 5SOS (Punk Luke Hemmings)

46. The Truth

i feel like updating loads today

Mia's POV.

.

Ruby, Michael and I were all at Michael's house, sitting on his bed and staying quiet. We didn't know what to do anymore, or what to say.

The doorbell rang and we all looked up. "Hold on." Michael got up and headed downstairs. I heard him open the door and closing it again. He came into the room with Ashton behind him and I stood up, hugging Ashton tightly. He hugged back.

"I'm sorry, Ashton. I didn't use him, I promise-"

"I know." He said gently, stroking my hair.

I pulled away and looked up at him. "How is he?"

"Bad. Really bad." He sighed, looking back down at me.

"I'm so stupid." I sighed, resting my head on his chest.

"Hey, don't feel bad. You didn't tell him to go out and drink, did you?"

I shook my head.

"So it's not your fault. I guess he just thought that drinking would make him feel better and forget about you." Ashton shrugged, resting his chin on my head.

I nodded. Michael frowned. "But why didn't you answer my texts?"

"Luke told me not to."

"And why'd you come back?"

"I was so sick of him getting drunk and smoking and making out with that bitch-"

"What?" I frowned, pulling away and looking up at him.

Ashton looked down guiltily. "Oh."

"H-he's with someone else?" I bit my lower lip.

"No, Mia. I mean, yeah. Her name's Madison. And I think all she wants from him is sex. She's trying to gain his trust before they actually have sex and she ditches him. Luke can't see that though. It's happened so many times before, he's just really stupid. And drunk."

"I-"

"That little bitch." Ruby mumbled.

"What?" Michael frowned, looking down at her.

"Madison. Is she blonde, quite small with brown eyes? Does she throw parties a lot?" Ruby asked Ashton.

He nodded and frowned. "How did you-"

"I know her. That skank." She shook her head.

"You know her?" Michael's eyes widened.

"She fucked my ex boyfriend a year ago."

I looked at Ruby. "Was that Jason?"

Ruby bit her lip and looked down.

Michael shook his head and pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry, Ruby. He's gone."

"But she's not." Ruby whispered. "And it wasn't just that. She spread rumors about me. Bad ones. She told everyone I was a whore who fucked like ten guys every week. And everyone believed her."

I noticed Michael tense up and looked at Ashton.

"I will rip that guy to fucking pieces if I ever find him." Michael muttered.

Ashton frowned and patted his arm. "It's okay, mate. Calm down."

Ruby looked up at him and shook her head. "It's okay."

"No it's not. Where is she anyway?"

"Her party. I could take you guys there." Ashton looked at me. I nodded and Michael went downstairs first, holding Ruby's hand.

We pulled up in front of a big house with all the lights on. No one was outside, but we could see loads of people inside. I sat in the front with Ashton while Michael and Ruby sat at the back. You could tell Michael was still really mad.

"Here we are." Ashton sighed.

Michael got out the car with Ruby and went inside. I groaned. "Something really bad's going to happen. I can feel it."

Ashton shrugged and we waited in silence.

After a couple of minutes, Ashton looked at me. "I know you're not a liar, Mia. And I know that you would never use anyone."

I looked back at him and smiled. "Thanks, Ash."

He smiled back, showing off his dimples. "Anytime. I'm always here if you need help with anything."

I heard a door slam and we both jumped, looking out the window.

We saw Michael, Ruby and Madison come out. Ashton and I both got out of the car and Luke came out.

"What the fuck-" He stopped and froze when he saw me. I looked back at him and we just stood there, staring at each other.

"Hey Ruby, did you know Harry Sty-"

"Shut up, you stupid bitch! You don't deserve to say the beautiful sex god's name!" Ruby screeched, lunging at her. Knowing Ruby, she was about to attack this girl with lip gloss and a curling iron.

Luke rolled his eyes and stepped back while the rest of us watched this violent scene go down with wide eyes. I knew Ruby loved Harry Styles (who wouldn't), but I didn't realise she was so possessive of him. Ruby tugged at Madison's hair and before she could possible scratch her eyes out, we pulled both of them apart.

"Are you that fucking stupid, Luke?" Michael scoffed, holding Ruby back. "She's just like any other girl you would party with before Mia."

"Stop." Luke snapped.

"Okay, that's it." I sighed. I stepped forward and crossed my arms. "Would your best friends lie to you? You've only known this girl for a few days when you've known these guys your entire life. And we all know she's using you, so don't give us that crap, Luke!"

He stared at me. "Like you used me, right?"

"I didn't use you!" I shook my head. "I like you too, Luke! I like you a lot, I just didn't know you liked me back! And if you had told me sooner, I would never have gotten back together with Calum!"

Luke frowned. "That's not-"

"Yeah, it is the truth." I sighed. "I like you a lot, but it doesn't matter."

He shook his head. "I-It's my fault."

Madison glared at me. "Who the fuck is she?"

Luke looked at her with wide eyes. "She, um. She's-"

"Your girlfriend?" She raised an eyebrow.

Luke looked at me then smiled. "I would call her that, but I'm not sure how she feels about it."

I looked at him and I smiled back.

"I'm surprised you won't fuck him now that you know he has a girlfriend." Ruby mumbled.

Madison looked at her. "Bitch."

I looked at them and felt someone take my hand. I looked up and saw Luke smiling down at me. "We're friends who cuddle and hold hands."

Madison glared at us. "Fuck you, Luke. I thought you-"

"Would have sex with you? Not really, no." He finished. She looked at all of us before storming back inside.

I laughed softly and felt Luke's lips on my cheek. "I like you."

I looked up at him. "I like you too." I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned up, pressing my lips to his.
