Luke's POV

Ashton, Calum, Mikey and I have grown very close over the past month. That comes with it's pros and cons. We can tell each other anything (usually) and can be ourselves. But it also means having the ability to keep secrets is difficult.

You would think that such a tight-knit group of friends wouldn't have any secrets. But truth is? We have a lot.

We have the fact that Ash and I have liked each other for a while, yet it only came out a few days ago. Then there is Ashton's depression. Of course, I found out by chance. But he's been keeping that a secret for years, including from his best friends. I'm sure we all have our own secret no one, or very few, people know about. Including the most open people.

I've grown my own suspicions about Ashton over the past couple weeks. I've noticed that he doesn't eat much, always claiming that he already ate, or wasn't feeling well. And when he does eat, it's always a few bites, along with glares at the food. He never goes to the bathroom when he's done, but I don't know about his home life.

I've also noticed that Ashton is very closed off about his family life. I know his parents work and where he lives. That's it. He never talks about memories or childhood. It honestly worries me a little, but I could be over thinking.

On Monday, when I asked about Michael and Calum's family thing, they both looked confused, furthering our suspicions. It was currently Thursday afternoon, and after an uneventful and boring week, I can finally go on the date with Ashton tomorrow. Because of my suspicions on Ashton's eating, I thought I would bring him on a picnic to a place I found over the weekend.

It's private and near a Lake that looks extremely beautiful at night. I picked a private place so I can confront Ash about his eating.

I was walking towards the cafeteria, when I saw Michael and Calum at Cal's locker. Michael was leaning against the lockers while calum was putting his books away. I started walking to them.

"...weekend was fun,'' I was able to hear bits of their conversation.

"Yeah...again...Friday,'' Calum smiled at Mikey. They just started at each other, and I saw this as a perfect time to interupt. ''Where ya guys going Friday?'' I asked, smirking a little.

''What? No where,'' they said at the same time.

''Seriously?'' I gave them a 'duh' look. ''Don't worry, I have my own plans.''

''Like?''

''I have a date. And don't ask who, because I'm not telling,'' I added quickly while grinning. "We should get to lunch,'' I said as I started walking away.

I got to the cafeteria a little before the other boys and sat across from Ash. ''So Malum has plans on Friday,'' I told him.

''...And? So do we,'' he retorted with a small blush.

''Annnnnd,'' I mimicked, ''When I asked them about it, they both said they didn't at the same time.''

''They're hiding something,'' Ashton said. Before I could say ''well no shit'' the boys came over.
