Luke's POV
"It's that soon?" Bella gasped, leaning her head on Calum's should before curling her legs on the side of her so they were now on the couch next to me. I tossed a blanket of her shoulders and adjusted it so it covered her feet as well.
"Mhmm," Cal sighed, "I can't believe Ashton's going to get married to her, she's not even that pretty."
Michael tosses my piece of popcorn into his mouth before joining the conversation. "Exactly," he sighed, "And she's an ass. I mean, it took us long to see it...but Ashton's with her more. You think he'd realize, he's supposed to be the smart one."
We all laughed quietly at his last statement about Ashton being the smartest.
"We should binge watch New Girl and eat junk food on the day of the wedding. Anything besides think about that, because I might throw up." Bella groaned.
I nodded, the other two joining in. "Sounds good to me."
We watched Orange Is The New Black for hours and hours, Bella finally moved away from Calum-who fell asleep-and climbed over to me onto the other couch which I had recently moved to. I wrapped my arms around her stomach, pulling her close to me.
She let out a small wince, so I immediately loosened my grip around her. I leaned my face closer to her ear, "Please don't tell me you-"
"I did," She cut in, "Sorry."
She seemed to tired to put feeling in. Just a sigh was let out. An exhausted sigh, the poor thing must've been just simply exhausted from everything that's happened lately.
"I love you, Bella." I kissed her shoulder.
"I love you too."
We fell asleep soon after this, my arm lightly slung around her scarred stomach.
Ashton's POV
"Are you crying?" Casey asked, walking over to the couch. She climbed onto my lap so that she was facing me, her arms hanging around my neck.
I softly smiled, shaking my head. "No, my eyes are just watery. I think my allergies are-uh, working up..." It was obviously a lie. I couldn't deny that I was in pain, my best friends and daughter just kicked me out of their lives within the past hour.
I was infuriated with myself and them. I should be able to live my life the way I want and if I love Casey, they should except that.
I quickly cleared all thoughts from my mind and pressed my lips to Casey's , my hands on her waist.
"I love you," I mumbled against her soft pink lips.
She giggled, "I love you to Ashton."
She climbed off my lap and walked into the kitchen. I tossed my head back, letting out an aggravated groan before getting up and following her.
She grabbed a small carton of ice cream and two spoons, smirking before she grabbed my hand and dragged me upstairs. I just laughed and followed along, but something didn't feel right and it made my stomach twist.
