The Devil and His Flower//5SOS •Luke Hemmings•

We're okay, ok?

I woke to the sound of a phone going off. My vision was upside down and my feet were dangling off the side of the chair. I dug in the blanket I had and didn't find it. I turned over and accidentally fell onto the floor. I Looked In the chair and under it. I turned around and it saw it on the coffee table.

I walked over to it on my knees and picked it up. I laid my back against the chair as I sat on the floor and sighed. I looked at my screen and saw it was my mom. I Debated on not answering, but I got up and walked outside to the backyard anyway.

Violet- what

Mommmm- look, I know we both said some things we regret and I'm sorry, I just got so caught up on what would happen if something happened to GiGi and us being back in the place we ran away from, then I met this guy and I brought him back to the house and I'm sorry.

Violet- okay, yeah it's fine, but I'm serious mom, things need to change, please.

Mommmm- I know and I'll try, I'm sorry.

Violet- I am too, we okay?

Mommmm- yea where fine, you at Michael's?

Violet- yeah, I'll be home sometime later

Mommmm- okay, I want to meet him again and I want to meet his friends.

Violet- I'll see if they'll come with me later, bye

I then hung up. Like I told Luke. We'd make up and things would go back to being somewhat okay again. I'm just glad it happened sooner than later. I put my phone in my pocket and walked back inside. On the other couch, was Ashton, he and I were the only ones up right now.

"Hey Ash." I stated through a yawn, walking into the kitchen, him getting up and following me. "Hey Vi." He said as he sat on the counter. "Why are you up so early?" He asked. I took some food out of the fridge and cabinets and began to cook.

"My phone was ringing, just my mom apologizing for some bullshit that happened yesterday." I stated. Ashton looked at his hands and then back to where I stood beside where he sat. "What happened?" He asked looking at me.

I sighed, wondering if Ashton was someone I could trust. I debated on telling him and decided it would be best if I did. "I walked to my GiGi's house after I left Michael's last night and when I left her house, I walked up to my house, on the couch was my mom and some guy. I told her I didn't care who she slept around with but we had a mutual agreement not to bring them back to the house. She was drunk and we started yelling at each other. We said so much fucking shit to each other, Ash. To make things worse, Luke heard the whole thing." I stated.

"I'm sorry that that happened." He stated looking at my face. "Hey, don't cry." He stated hopping off the counter. Shit. I didn't even realize I was crying till he said something. I quickly wiped my tears and put on a fake smile as I took his place on the counter.

He said he would finish making breakfast. "I'm sorry I cried." I told him. I didn't even know why I was. I never cried in front of anyone because I thought it was weird, but with Ashton, it was different and I didn't know why.

He stopped what he was doing. "Hey, there's nothing to be sorry for, we all cry, we all have our own demons and our own shit we're dealing with, it's normal." He smiled. I chuckled and sighed. "I thought you said no swearing?" I joked.

"For the boys, they do it way to much, I barley say a swear unless I mean something." He stated. He stood in front of me a little distance away. "Violet, would you like a hug, I didn't know you were going to say something like that when I asked you what happened." He stated.

I was surprised. People usually avoided any physical contact with me because they thought I hated people. I hate some people, Luke, Anthony, my dad, and myself, being some of those hated people. Ashton was my friend, and I was only mean to people who were dicks, and Ashton's not mean, he's sweet.

"Yeah okay." I smiled. Before I knew it, Ash was right in front of me hugging. As we hugged I realized the position we were in. I was sitting on the counter and he was standing between my legs hugging me. If anyone walked in at the moment they'd think we were doing anything but hugging.

Realistically, we were friends, nothing much, nothing more. Ashton just wanted to comfort a friend who was hurting for so many reasons. As we were hugging I heard the door to the kitchen open and then I heard hoots and hollers.

"Get it Ashton!" Michael laughed.

"You're getting more action than Michael ever will!" Calum joked.

After he said that the door opened and in walked Luke, looking at his phone. "Guys, I think I have a new song id-" he cut himself off as he looked up and saw Ashton move away from hugging me and began to get plates, me hopping off the counter and taking my migraine meds.

"What the hell, guys, if your gunna hookup, do it in someone's bed and not the fucking kitchen." He stated kinda pissed. After he said that Ashton and I burst out laughing. "Jesus you fucking Looney Tunes, I was telling Ashton about what happened with my mom and I last night and he gave me hug to make me feel better." I laughed.

"I think of Violet as a friend, if anyone here was to have a thing for her, it would probably be Luke or Michael." Ashton laughed placing plates in front of us each. I laughed "Michael's my best friend man, and Luke's, well Luke is Luke." I stated, earning a smirk from Luke.

After we were done eating I gathered up the boys in the living room. "Alrighty fucktards and fuckettes, my mom wants to meet you, so let's go on a little walk."

The guys and I were walking down the street until we eventually made it to the neighborhood Luke and I lived in. "Hey, you and Luke live in the same neighborhood." Calum said. Luke and I both let out a nervous laugh. As we were walking down the street we both lived on, Calum spoke up again. "You also live on the same street." He stated, completely oblivious that we lived across the street to each other.

A little while after that we were in front of my house and I stopped. "We're here I stated walking up the driveway. "You guys already knew that you lived on the same street, how come we didn't know?" Calum asked.

I laughed. "You never asked, Michael knew, but it doesn't matter because you know now." I stated walking up to the front door and walking in, the boys following after me and closing the door.
