Starting Over : Luke Hemmings fanfiction

Chapter 12

Ashton's P.O.V

I woke up to a buzzing sound of my phone. I was so deep in my sleep I thought that it was in my dream. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. Grabbed my phone from the night stand. I had a text from Calum saying Hey mate I'll be at your house around 11 if you need a ride do you still wanna tryout for the soccer team? If I remember correctly you'll do great you and your sister were great !

I smiled man he's awesome. He so supportive even after being away for 10 years. That's a true friend. I just did a simply reply saying yeah I'd like to and thanks then sent him my address. I checked the time. I noticed that is was 9:50 so I decided to finally get up . I grabbed my black soccer pants and my plain blue t shirt and black nike shoes. I went downstairs.

When I reached the bottom of the steps I saw Colton was up already. I was surprised for once he beat me up. I walked up behind him and picked him up and said "gotcha!"

He laughed and said "Where's B ? And where's dad ? Bella wasn't up to make breakfast she always is."

B is the nickname for Bella. Colton called he that when we was younger because he couldn't say Annabella or Bella.

"Oh...I have no idea about dad but I thought Bella was with you."

"No I haven't seen her."

"It'll be fine. she'll show up." I said laughing, " How about I make you breakfast?"

He gave me a look like I was crazy.

"What?" I asked the look on his face was priceless.

"You and cooking doesn't mix." He said laughing

"What do you mean I'm amazing !"

"Yeah amazing at burning everything you touch. Ash you burnt popcorn in the microwave when there was a popcorn button ! How could some one be so dill witted ," He said laughing

"Ha-Ha real funny and where did you learn that word ?" I was surprised by his language, he 8 I know, but damn he's smart for his age.

"Bella says it about you all the time you just don't notice." He said in all seriousness.

Of course she does, "And anyway with the popcorn you never know the button could have been wrong. And you said you wouldn't talk about it." We were hysterically laughing at each other.

These are the memories I want him to remember. Not the ones of our crazy parents.

I picked up Colton put him on the top of the table on the island.

"Okay I have one thing in mind."

"And what is this thought ?" Colton said still laughing

"How about my specialty,"

"And what would that be ?"

"Cereal!" I said and he rolled his eyes.

"Sure as long as it has a lot of sugar." He said winking.

"Would Bella approve of that ?" I asked him.

"No...but she doesn't have to know." He said smiling.

"I'm rubbing off on you little man and deal just don't snitch on me. B will kill me."

"Deal !" We shook on it.

After we were both sitting at the table. He was quiet but I didn't want to push his buttons so I waited for him to say something. Finally he said something that took me off guard.

"Hey Ash so when I was at Mrs.hoods I played outside and I met a few of the neighborhood boys and there my age. There nice. I think there my friends." He said I smiled

I was proud of him he was always really independent. He wasn't ever really social but this is great.

"That's great ! I'm proud of you. You know that don't you I'm sorry I don't say that enough to you." I said

"It's fine really I don't mind. But I was wondering...." he asked

"What ?" I coaxed him to continue.

"Could I hang out with them today ?" He asked

"Of course ! I would like to meet them sometime." I said smiling and so was he.

After I did the dishes he headed into the living room and I noticed a note on the table it was from Bella saying hey went out to get food shouldn't be long watch Colton please . I hate how she's spending her money for food while our messed up father is buying more alcohol. He's so messed up I'm going to say something to him next time I see him. Thats if I ever see him.

It was 11 o'clock . Calum pulled up in his car. He walked up towards the house and rang the doorbell. Colton answered the door for me. Colton smiled up at the tall brunette. I yelled "Come on in ! " I was finishing up the dishes

"Dang mate ! This house is giant. Where does your dad have this money from ?" He said not a hint of judgment in his voice just curiosity

"I don't even know he hasn't rely tried to talk to my sister , Colton and I. " I said.

It's true though my fathers not really been home to guide us. We don't need him anyways.

"Dang that's crazy. And man has Colton grew I almost couldn't recognize him! Same with Bella," Calum said still looking around.

"I know right and Can I ask of a favor?" I asked Calum.

"Of course anything." He said smiling at me.

"Could you drop Colton off at a friends house when we go to practice?"

"Yeah that's perfectly fine."

God he's such a great guy.

When we were about to leave I told Colton to grab his coat so we could go. After he got his coat and we drove to drop him off.

When we dropped Colton off I asked Calum.

"So where exactly are we going ?"

"Remember Luke ?" He asked me.

"Yeah the guy who came to the park with you guys yesterday ?"

"Yeah. We're going to his house to get him and Michael then probably to the soccer field. He's one of my best mates same with Michael obviously . Luke's the captain of the varsity soccer team and he could help us out. Not like we need it but he's a nice guy and I want you guys to become friends." He wasn't being pushy just honest.

To be honest I thought Luke was a cool guy. I want to be his friend that would be awesome.

"Yeah that would be great! He seems cool when we talked. And wow captain of varsity that's crazy."

"Yeah he's pretty good. And he's really popular." Calum told me.

"Oh that's sweet." I replied as we pulled up to what I'm assuming was Luke's house.
