Just Friends

Part 8

Luke's POV:

I got it. I understood completely. Y/N likes me, she loves me. I put up a front of false ignorance because i don't trust myself with her wellbeing, and our friendship is too great to risk. The question, then, is do i love her? And the answer? With all of my heart. I love Y/N with everything that i am, and i think she's the most beautiful person inside and out that i have ever met. It's 2:30 AM and i'm still seated on our bench with a war being fought in my mind that seems to have become a stalemate. If i admit my love, i could lose her in the end, and if i don't, i could still lose her. Neither side looks to be a winner. As i sat there at a loss for ideas, i decided to call Ashton. Whenever i need anything, like advice, he's there to help. He's a very dependable friend, and i admire that about him a lot.
"Hello?"
He answered sounding very much awake, which was odd considering the time.
"Ash? I'm surprised you're awake, um, can i ask fir some advice?" I asked.
"Yeah, i mean, if you want you could drop by my place. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight anyway. Why don't you come on over?"
I knocked at Ashton's door at 3:00 AM and he opened it straight away as if he were standing there waiting for me to get there.
"Hey Luke!" He greeted me.
He looked tired, and worn, maybe a little upset about something but he didn't let it reflect in his voice. He moved aside and motioned for me to come inside. As we sat on the couches, he handed me a cup of tea.
"So what do you need?"
He inquired.
"Advice. Y/N loves me.."
