I sat next to Ashton on his tiny hospital bed, looking out the window while he rested for a little. He wasn't asleep, just resting. He looked adorbable with his messy bed hair and the small bags under his eyes. I got up to grab my phone from my purse.
"Babe where are you going?" Ashton asked me sleepily. "I'm just getting my phone, Ash." I told him. Oh my gosh he was being so cute! I grabbed my phone out of my bag and hopped back on the bed. Ashton moaned. "What are you moaning about, you wussy?" I whispered. I made sure to whipser, since Ashton had a headache and didn't want a lot of noise. "Shhhh" He moaned before adjusting himself of the bed.
I rolled my eyes and pulled up Tumblr and scrolled for a little. It was getting dark out. I looked at my phone, which said that it was 9:37. What Luke told me had been troubling me all day. I couldn't get my mind off of it. He was my best friend. I wasn't going to blow him off. At the same time, I had Ashton. I was happy with Ashton and I didn't plan on breaking up with him any time soon. He needed me, whether he would admit it or not. He's been trying to make me more like him and not be such a good girl, but I am beginning to see the real Ashton, and it isn't the bully school bad boy. The real Ashton had to be the sweet, loving, and caring guy his family saw him as.
"Ashton, can I tell you something?" I asked quietly. "Mhm?" He hummed softly. "It's about Luke..." "Ugh what now?" He groaned. "The other night after we all visited you, he told me something. I'm not sure how to handle it and I need your help. Please don't freak out, though. For real."
"Well I'm not promising anything but go on." "He kind of told me that he likes me. Like likes me. Like love. That's why he's been acting so protective and rude." I explained, not sure of how Ashton would respond to what I just told him.
"He what?" "He told me that-" "No I heard you the first time, love." "Ashton please don't freak out. I'm yours and only yours and I'm here to stay" I assured him. "Don't worry darling, I'll be just fine." He said a bit louder, pulling me into his arms and holding me close to his strong chest.
*One week later*
I sat impatiently while the doctor did one last check up on Ashton. Today was the day he finally got to leave the hospital! I couldn't be happier to bring him home. Plus, that tiny hospital be was super uncomfortable. I jumped out of my seat the minute the doctor stepped out of Ashton's room.
"How is he?" I asked, ready to get the heck out of here. "Hes doing great and is ready to leave!" The doctor said with a smile. I thanked him and ran into Ashton's room, where he was changing into his normal clothes. "Ashy you get to leave!" I exclaimed. He giggled. "Yep, sure do. It was about time, too."
He took off his hospital bracelet and handed it to me. "What am I supposed to do with this?" I said as I rolled my eyes. "I don't know, shove it in a purse or something." It looked like Ashton's sass game was up and running again. He was back to his regular self. "Whatever let's just go."
We walked out of the hospital as quickly as we could and got into the car. We listened to music but didn't say a word on the drive back to the summer house. "we're home, Ash!" I said with a smile. He smiled before kissing my lips and running into the house. The guys were all sitting on the couch. They jumped up and ran to Ashton. "ASHTONNN!!!!!!!!!!" Calum yelled. Luke practically jumped into his arms while Michael ran around in circles yelling "HE"S ALIVE HE"S ALIVE!"
They all caught up for a little before Michael came upstairs with me to help unpack hospital bags. Calum went into his room to make a phone call, and Luke and Ashton sat on the couch continuing to watch The Walking Dead.
*Ashton's POV*
Luke and I were sitting on the couch, watching The Walking Dead. During a commerical break, I decided to say what was on my mind. "So Luke, tell me about your feelings for Rowan." His face went red. "What do you mean? She's my best friend. That's all. There is nothing nothing between us if that's what you think is going on, Ash."
"Yeah I know there's nothing going on. And there won't be. I'm going to make sure of it. Don't you dare try to steal my girl. She's mine. Find another one because she belongs to me and me only." I growled. "Dude she's a human being, not some possession you can keep all to yourself." Luke argued.
"So you're saying that you can have her if you want to?" I yelled. I didn't care if anybody heard us. "Yeah basically." "Luke Hemmings you stay away from her!" "No, Ashton, give somebody else a chance. You can't have her forever! You know her family will hate you! Remember what you did to her brother?!" "That was a long time ago." "They wouldn't want their scholar of a daughter dating a dirtbag like you anyways."
Before I knew what was going on, he punched me in the jaw. Hard. Why would Luke punch me? He was so... Luke. I charged back at him and pinned him up to the wall, getting ready to throw a punch to his eye, my signature punch, when I heard Rowan and Michael running down the stairs.
"ASHTON STOP IT!" Rowan screamed. "Rowan! He threatened me for no reason! He nailed me in the stomach! Why are you even dating him?!" Luke shrieked. "LIAR!" I yelled back. "Rowan he was the one who nailed me in the jaw after calling me unworthy for you." I tried to tell her. I couldn't believe Luke was being so cold. "He said he was going to knock me unconscious and make me wake up wit amnesia!" Luke yelled to her.
"Ashton I thought you changed." She mumbled before running up to her room and slamming the door shut.
