Ashton's POV
"L-Luke." She said looking down. Luke?! I should've known.
"How did this happen?" I asked trying to calm down.
"I was in the park and was on the swings hearing music until I saw Luke. I got up and took my music off trying to run away from him but he caught up to me and pushed me on the floor kicking and punching me. He then left me on the floor and I tried standing up but I couldn't so I tried a littler harder and finally got up. But while I was walking the pain only got stronger and I fell hit my temple on a rock and my vision went black." she explained. I couldn't calm down, she is in the hospital because of him. I'm going to beat the shit out of him.
"I'll be back." I said.
"I'll go with you." Derek said.
"Ashton just leave it please." Michelle said. I shook my head and left.
"Ashton!" She yelled. I ignored her and closed the door with Derek following me. I knew where Luke lives because my mom and his mom are like best friends but me and Luke hate each other. I got to his place and Derek and I got out of the car and I knocked on the door hard.
"I'm coming!" I heard. Luke's mom, Liz, opened the door and she smiled at me.
"Hey Ashton." she said.
"Hi. Is Luke here?" I asked sweetly. She nodded.
"He's in his room." she said. I thanked her and told Derek to follow me. I went to Luke's room and knocked on it hard again I think I almost broke it. Luke opened the door.
"What the hell do you want?" Luke asked.
"The real question is: why the hell are you bullying Michelle?" I asked.
"What did she ever do to you?" Derek added.
"That's none of your business. Now if you may please leave." Luke said trying to act sweet. Ew.
"Because of you Michelle is in the hospital you idiot." Derek said. I nodded and threw a punch at Luke.
"What the hell!?" Luke yelled.
"That's what you get!" I said leaving with Derek following.
-3 Weeks Later-
Luke's POV
Ever since Ashton told me Michelle was in the hospital because of me I haven't been beating Michelle up. Although I do say mean things. Michael and Calum are the ones who still beat her up. Right now I'm in school but we are in lunch and I see Michelle with Ashton, Derek, Nathaly and another girl and boy I don't know. Michelle isn't smiling, she looks like she is not paying attention to what they are saying. I'm actually starting to feel bad. What if she cuts? What if she is thinking about killing herself? I was thinking when Calum claps his hands making me snap out of my thoughts.
"Did you hear me Luke?" Calum asked.
"What?" I asked. Michael started laughing.
"Man he was day dreaming. what about?" Michael says.
"None of your business." I snapped.
"Well we were saying that we should throw a party and invite everybody." Michael says.
"Yea sure. When?" I said. Maybe I can start being friends with Michelle and Ashton. I don't even know why I bullied Michelle. She seems nice, pretty, smart- shut up Luke. Maybe I can invite Michelle to the party. I'm going to talk to her and be friends with her.
"The end off school year." Michael said. I nodded and started thinking again about Michelle. School finishes in 2 months.
"Let's go Luke." Calum said snapping me out of my thoughts. Again.
"Mate what's wrong you've been day dreaming all day." Calum said. I just shrug.
"It's nothing." I said walking to class. Michael, Calum and I had different classes but have the same lunch period. I went in Art class and saw Michelle already there and nobody else. I walked to my desk which was next to Michelle's desk. Michelle was drawing in her notebook and looks like it was an angel. It was nice.
"Nice drawing. Its an angel right?" I asked. She nodded.
"Please don't hurt me." she said scared.
"Look I know I am hurting you but I want to change. When Ashton told me you were in the hospital I stopped beating you up and I only called you names. I felt bad. I'm really sorry." I said.
"If your really sorry then..." Michelle said looking at me. She has the cutest blue eyes- stop it Luke.
"Then..." I said.
"Why bully me?"
Calum's POV
I was walking to class when I saw Luke talking to Michelle. I walked in his Art class and saw nobody.
"Luke! Why are you talking to the slut?" I yelled.
"She isn't slut." He said.
"Yes she is. The BIGGEST slut of the school!" I yelled.
"Excuse me I'm not a slut. You don't know me! I've been ra- shit I-i need to go." Michelle said running out of the class.
"Maybe we should stop bullying her. I think she was about to say rape! If you don't want to be friends with her at least then don't bother talking to me!" Luke yelled running out of class following Michelle. Maybe I should be friends with Michelle. I mean I had no reason of bullying her. It was all Luke.
Michelle's POV
"Yes she is the BIGGEST slut of the school!" Calum yelled. They don't know me at all. Why say I'm a slut? I'm not.
"Excuse me I'm not a slut. You don't know me! I've been ra-shit I-I need to go." I said. I ran out of the class crying. Great now they know my secret and they are probably going to tell everyone. I heard Luke yelling my name.
"MICHELLE! WAIT UP!" Luke yelled. I kept running until Luke caught up to me and grabbed my wrist making me flinch.
"Leave me alone Luke." I said.
"Please Michelle. Give me a chance to be your friend." Luke said.
"Why? So you can know everything about me and then tell everyone?" I asked.
"No. I want to be your friend. I promise I will change." He said.
"Maybe you should answer my question." I said. The bell rang and I walked away from Luke. I went in class and saw everyone walking in class so I took my seat and saw Luke coming in too. Luke sat next to me since his desk is next to me. The teacher soon came and we started the class and I saw Luke writing something and folding it then he gave it to me. I looked at him confused and he mouthed 'open it.' I opened it and saw what it said.
Can you please talk to me? Can you meet me after school? I can explain to you everything. I want to be friends with you. I want to change. I want to know you better. By the way you look nice in that blue crop top. *wink*
I looked at him and he winked making me blush. I wrote something back and gave it to him. It said:
Fine. *sighs* Where do I meet you? And thanks I guess for the compliment.
He looked at me and mouthed,'out side of class.' I nodded and listened to the teacher. I always caught Luke staring at me from the corner of my eye. After class finished I went out of class and saw Luke waiting for me.
"Shall we go?" He asked. I nodded and walked with him.
"Michelle!" I heard a voice.
"Luke its Rosemary. I'll meet you at the park." I said.
"Who is Rosemary?" He asked.
"I'll tell you at the park now go." I said. He nodded and walked another direction.
"Yea Rosemary?" I asked.
"Are we walking home?" She asked. I shook my head no.
"Go home with Randy I'm going for a walk." I said.
"Be careful I don't want anymore accidents." she said walking away. I was walking to the park and I saw Luke waiting for me on the swings. I smiled and went up to him.
"Hey." he said looking up at me.
"Hey Luke." I said sitting on the other swing. We stayed silent for what seems to be like 10 minutes.
"Are you going to explain or what?" I asked. He nodded and looked into my eyes. His perfect blue eyes- Michelle shut up.
"I...I have three reasons. One I bullied you was to get your attention. I know it's stupid but every time I saw you with Ashton I get this strange feeling inside of me. I also wanted someone to feel the same pain as me. I was bullied back in 8th grade. When I saw you, I felt this strange feeling like it was that I liked you. You are so beautiful, smart, crateful. I just think-" That was when it happened. His lips were on mine. He kissed me and surprisingly I kissed back. I felt tons of fireworks and ton of butterflies in my stomach. I pulled away and my eyes went wide.
"I'm s-sorry. I just like you." Luke finished.
"Oh." was all I could say.
"Can we at least be friends?" He asked.
"Wait didn't you say you had three reasons? Because you only gave me two." I said. He nodded.
"I'll show you the third reason later on this year." he said. I nodded and looked down at my shoes.
"Now. Answer my question." he said.
I thought for a minute and then nodded and Luke stood up I looked at him confused.
"Can I get a hug?" He asked.
"Yea sure." I got up and hugged him. He smelled good.
"Can I ask a question?" Luke asked.
"Yea sure." I said. He grabbed my wrist making me flinch.
"Why do you flinch when I touch your wrist?" He asked. I pulled my sleeve up and showed him my cuts. Luke gasps and kissed my wrist.
"Your too beautiful to cut. Why?" He asked.
"You'll know sooner. But I have to get home, Rosemary is waiting for me." I said.
"Who is Rosemary and that other boy I saw you with at lunch?" He asked.
"Rosemary is a friend from New Jersey and the boy is Randy Rosemary's boyfriend." I said. He nodded and we walked back to my house. While we were walking Luke grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers. I blushed and smiled mentally. We got to my house and I was about to get in when Luke stopped me.
"Michelle?" He said.
"Yea?" I said. Luke looked at me and his blue eyes were looking at my blue eyes.
"Can I take you out on a date?" He asked. I smiled and nodded.
"When?" I asked.
"Give me your number and I'll text you it." I nodded giving Luke my number and him giving me his. I have him under Lukey🐧. I think I like Luke. Do I? Do I like my bully?
