[Picture on side/top DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS IS REALLY LUKE?]

Ashton

-

I don't know why I even had the slightest glimpse of hope that Luke might show up to my house after school because if he were to, he would've showed up by now. It was dumb of me to even think that he might of shown up at my doorstep and wished me a happy birthday. I always think to myself that maybe he could change overnight and I'll wake up and everything will be back to normal. I guess that's what thinking gets me.

I always thought that if you tried hard enough at something that eventually you would succeed at it. Apparently that's not how it works. I have tried countless times to help Luke, to get him to communicate with me or to simply get him to tell the truth but it's pretty evident that nothing has helped. I don't even know why I try anymore. Luke did say to stop trying but at the time I took it as just another lie. But now I realize that was probably one of the seldom times he was telling the truth.

It doesn't happened often; that is, Luke telling the truth. He gets so awkward and nervous and tries to leave right away.

Luke is just a really confusing person.

Something inside me keeps saying that he'll show up; that everything will be fine but I think that's just my conscious covering up the fact that he really isn't going to come over. I don't know why I do it. I don't why I tell myself that he'll change. Nothing in this world is going to change this stubborn headed, lying jerk that is Luke. I try to be positive. I always try to do that. I'm not sure why because there is absolutely no hope for him.

I think my time to stop caring has come.

Why should I care about someone that doesn't care about himself or others? There's no point for that. I would basically have to make a wish on a shooting star or something to get him to be honest. So I have no chance.

I'm just thankful I have Calum and Michael. They truly care for me and for that I thank them. There hasn't been a lot of people in my life that has cared for me besides my relatives.

Currently, Michael, Calum and I are in the living room watching movies. My eyes keep wandering over to the door but I know I should just stop, there's really no use.

In the middle of the movie, Michael starts whispering to Calum and the two both get up suddenly. I look up at the two but before I could catch a glimpse of them, they were off in the kitchen doing who knows what. I think about getting up to see what they were doing but I decided not to since they'll return soon enough.

When the two finally come out, they hold a small cake with my name written in icing on the top, singing happy birthday.

I smile widely at my friends and shake my head at their silliness. They kept messing up the words somehow and whenever that would happen the other would glare at the other and continue singing.

"Make a wish, Ashton!" Michael shouts happily, holding the cake in front of me.

'I wish Luke would stop lying for twenty four hours.'

That's my wish. It's not like wishes some true but if they were to, I only want one day for Luke to see the truth in things. Maybe then he'll continue being honest. I don't even know why I made this my wish but it's the best I got.

Let's just hope this comes true...
