Luke was a light sleeper. But he was also someone who slept seven to eight hours every night so he didn't have trouble waking up in the morning.

However, as he came home blacked-out drunk, well after midnight on a school night, his phone was ringing for a few minutes before he tried to turn his alarm off.

The only problem was that it wasn't his alarm. It was Ashton calling him before his alarm even went off.

"What the fuck do you want?" He said, nausea and tiredness making him cranky.

"I'm waking you up, dumbass. I'm driving you to work today, so get your ass in the shower and be ready in thirty."

"What? Why?"

"Because you're either still drunk or hungover?"

Luke didn't know either and wasn't sure how Ashton knew. Maybe he drunk dialed him or sent an embarrassing text, Luke couldn't remember.

He threw up before, during, and after the shower.

After he got dressed he drank more water than he did the entire week before and swallowed two painkillers.

He called security at the gate when Ashton texted so he could get to his house.

"You look worse than I imagined," Ashton said, offering him Mcdonald's Sausage McMuffin, hashbrowns, and a coke.

"The fuck?" Luke asked. Ashton hated fast food more than anything and he hated when Luke and Calum went to get fast food without him. "How do you know my hungover order and how did you know I was out drinking?"

Ashton didn't say anything, just passed his phone to him.

Luke almost choked on the coke and his head started to pound even worse than before.

Unknown number

Hi, it's Michael. Hopefully, I'm not waking you up but Luke just got home incredibly drunk and I presume he has classes early in the morning.

I think it would be best if you'd pick him up or I'll drive him but I don't think he'd want to see me.

Ashton

On a weekday? Luke Hemmings?

Unknown number

Yeah, I think he had a date or something.

Ashton

Thank you for letting me know.

I'm still mad at you btw, this doesn't mean anything. But thank you.

Unknown number

I know.

Idk if it's still the same, but usually when he felt really bad after a night out sausage mcmuffin, hashbrowns, and coke got him back to normal a bit quicker.

Ashton didn't even save his number.

"What the fuck." Luke said, again, saying fuck more times this morning alone than he did in the entire month.
