That Boy Next Door [l.r.h.] *UNDER MAJOR EDITING*

|chapter 22|

It's Friday and 6:33 p.m. school got out at 3:40. I'm not with like because Ashton is having a party tonight at 7:30 p.m. and Luke went home to get ready, as I did the Same.

Ashton's parents are gone until Monday because their in America visiting his mom's sister or something like that.

I put on a white muscle tank top that I got at Tilly's and it has a lion on it, black jeans, all black Converse, and a grey Hollister beanie.

I decided I had a little time to spare so I curled my hair, that took me about 10 minuets, and I put makeup over my cheek that still had a bruise on it. I put on my bracelets because you could still see the scars, Luke was really suspicious. Whenever we would be sitting on the couch or hanging out somewhere, he would glance at my wrist with the bracelets. You could tell that he was worried. I had a feeling that he knew. Well of course he kinda knew. But not really, he didn't know for sure, but he was in suspicion.

It's 7:07 right now, so I decided to text Luke, 'Hey Luke! You ready for the party tonight? ;)'

I got a text back moments later,
'Heck yeah! His parties are awesome, trust me. (:'

I replied, 'I believe you. ;'

I set my phone down on my bed because I heard a knock at my bedroom door. I opened it to find Luke standing at the door frame.

"Oh, well Hello." I giggled.

I hugged me and said, "The party will be really fun."

"I'm sure it will be." I laughed.

"So It's 7:13, what do you want to do for..... 17 minuets?" He asked.

"I don't care, whatever." I shrugged with a silent laugh.

"How about we go right now? Ashton won't care." Luke suggested.

"Okay." I replied.

With that, we walked to his car next door, and went on our way to Ashton's house.

When were got there, we walked right in.

"ASHTON!" Luke yelled.

"IN THE KITCHEN!" he yelled back.

We walked in the kitchen and Ashton was rummaging through his fridge.

"Hi." I laughed.

"You're early." He smiled at me and Luke while grabbing a soda from the fridge, "do you want a drink?" He asked.

"Nah." Luke said.
"Same." I giggled.

"Alright. Well It's 7:30 people should be here." Ashton said as Luke and I walked outside to the porch.

"Okay." Luke said.

Luke and I sat down on a bench that was on Ashton's porch. He wrapped his arm around me and just looked out to the road.

"What do you think is going to happen to us?" He suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked completely puzzled at his question.

"I mean like us. What do you think will happen?" He repeated.

"Oh. I don't know. I don't think about it." I replied.

"Me neither. I just thought about it right now." He said.

Just then, people came piling in Ashton's house.

It's now 8:00 and everyone is here already.

Luke and I were sitting on the floor with a bunch of other people, which confined of Ashton, Sydney, Emily, Calum, Michael, Ayva, Summer, Justin, Drake, Jake, Mike, and Harry.
