Change (l.r.h)

Forget It

"No, no no no." I hear coming from Ashton's room. "Damn it!!" 

"SHUT UP!" I yell.

"KAYLA COME HERE!" He yells, panic in his voice. I jump up and run into his room.

"What?!" I ask.

"She forgot her medicine." He tells me, holding up a bottle.

"Shit!" I say.

"I can't find my damn phone." He says, looking around his room. 

"I think it's in the living room, but I don't think she'll answer you." I say, his face fall with hurt, "Sorry." I mumble.

"It's okay, but we need to get these to her soon." He says, grabbing his keys and heading towards his front door. 

"Ashton, you're in your underwear and you have no shirt. Get dressed first." I say. He turns around and gives me his keys. 

"Go start the car." He says, walking back into his room. I go out and start his car. A few minutes later, Ashton walks out and closes the front door.

"Where is she even at?" I ask.

"Probably at fucking Calum's." He says. 

"You think Luke will be there?" I ask, sinking lower into the chair, trying not to cry.

"I don't know. He could be." Ashton says. 

"We really did fuck up." I say. leaning my head against the window.

"Yeah. I'm going to text Carson and telling him we quit." Ashton says, I look at him, "I'll find us new jobs. Ones that are legal." He laughs.

"Hey, speaking of Carson, I got a text before I fall asleep and it was unknown saying how they are going to make out lives a living hell. I think it was him." I say.

"I better not lay a hand on Hanley or you, or I swear to god I'll fucking rip his heart out." Ashton says, gripping the steering wheel.

"Well damn, that's intense." I say. 

"Sorry. You know what I mean." He says. We drive over to Calum's. 

"Promise you won't fight Calum or do anything to him." Ashton says. 

"I promise." I say, putting my hands up. We get up and walk to Calum's front door. Ashton bangs hard on the front door.

"I'm coming! Hold on!" Calum yells from inside. He opens the door. He see us and starts to close it. I stop the door.

"No." I say, "Is Hanley here?" I ask.

"Why would I tell you?" Calum asks.

"Fuck you." I say, pushing past him and walking inside.

"Hey I can call the cops on you guys. This would add more years to your already jail sentence if you ever got caught for dealing." Calum says.

"Fin, then we'll just tell them that you're a leader of an illegal fight corporation." I say, smirking.

"What do you guys want?" He asks.

"Is Hanley here? She left her medicine." Ashton says.

"Calum?" A female voice says, coming from down the hallway. When the female turns the corner, I almost pass out.

"Alex?" I choke out. She turns the corner and shes only wearing one of Calum's t-shirts.

"Kayla?" Ash?" She says in shock, "What are you guys doing here?" 

"I should ask you the same question." Ashton says.

"Um." She says,

"So this is how you do it Calum? You succeed in getting Hanley to break up with Ashton, and you get a bonus break up, with me and Luke and you come back here and fuck the girl you love sister." I say.

"You and Luke broke up?" Alex asks.

"Shut the fuck up." I say. 

"Hey, I didn't do anything," she says.

"Bull shit! You're the one that told fucking Calum!" I yell, "Remember grade 6 were we told Jackson that Alyssa had bed bugs, just so he would break up with her to date Isabella." I say. "I knew when Calum yelled it out, that you were the one that told him. So don't fucking act like you don't know fucking shit!" I yell walking closer to Alex.

"I suggest you not to take a step closer." Alex warns.

"Or what?" I say. 

"Kayla." I hear Ashton say. 

"Go ahead. I've been waiting for this day my whole life." I say.

Alex's hand goes flying up. Before she can hit me, I block it. I punch her the face. She staggers backwards until I push her to the ground and I repeatedly punch her.

"THIS IS WHAT YOU FUCKING GET! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" I yell. I feel two hands pull me off of Alex. 

"Kayla, calm down." Ashton whispers.

"Calum, tell us where the fuck Hanley is. If you don't I swear so help me god, I will-" 

"She's at Luke's." He says, throwing his hands in the air.

"Thank you. Have a lovely night." I say, but before I walk out the door, I turn around, "I hope you know, Alex had an STD before. I don't know if she got rid of it. Bye!" I say, closing the door and walking to Ashton's car.

"What did I tell you?" Ashton says, pulling out and heading to Luke's

"You only said Calum. I didn't do anything to him, so I didn't disopey you." I say.

"Smart." Ashton smiles. It's 7:00 in the morning and I hope and pray they are awake. We pull into Luke's and get out.

"His mom worked with my mom." I say.

"Well, if she answers, you can talk to her." He says. We walk up to the door and I knock.

"Coming." I here from the other side. "Hello?" A woman answers, I believe to be Luke's mom.

"Hi, I'm Kayla and this is Ashton, is Luke or Hanley here?" I ask. 

"Oh, I don't think they are. I'm sorry. Wait, are you Kayla Holt?" She asks.

"Yes m'ma. I am." I say. I look behind her and I lock eyes with Luke. I try not to cry right there on the spot.

"Oh, I'm Liz. I worked with your mom. I'm so sorry about your lost sweetie." She says, giving me a sympathetic smile. I continue to stare at Luke.

"Thank you. Um, if you see Hanley or L-Luke, um, could you please give these to them." I say, reaching Liz Hanley's medicine. 

"I'll make sure they get them. Thank you." She says. Luke just continues to stand there and stare.

"Oh, Mrs. Hemming?" I say. She looks at me, "Um." I say, I look at Luke and say.

"Could you please tell L-Luke that I-I'm sorry and th-thank you f-for everything." I say, a tear slipping from my eye. "And that I-I l-love him." 

"I'll make sure he knows." She smiles. I look at Luke one last time. He looks at me and the puts his head down and walks away.

"Thank you." I say and turn and walk away.

"Are you okay?" Ashton asks, when we get in his car.

"Nope." I say, looking out the window, and the tears just come out. 

Before we drive away, I look back at Luke's house and see him looking out the window.
