"Well... Josh, take care of my boys. And boys call me if you need anything, I didnt get you that phone for no reason. Remember the rules." Ashton smiles. Kissing Luke, Calum, and Michael on the forehead before grabbing his luggage and heading out the door.
Ashton had to go back to his parent's house for a family reunion. Usually, he said no to family get-togethers and reunions, but to keep his parents away from his house he decided he would go this time.
"Josh-" Michael started but was cut off.
"Look, I'm leaving. You guys can take care of yourselves, right?" Josh asks.
"Yeah, we can." Calum says quickly, turning from the window he was sadly looking out of, just in case Ashton came back.
"Alright, bye then." Josh winks and walks out the door.
"Let's throw a party!" Michael shouts.
Luke, startled by the outburst and idea, jumps and stares at Michael with hatred.
"No, that-" Luke starts.
"Yeah, Let's do it." Calum cuts him off.
"You really gotta learn to let people finish, Cal." Luke says fast so Calum can't cut him off.
"Come on, guys! Let's do it!" Michael begs.
"Ugh, Fine." Luke gives in.
"Sure why not?" Calum shrugs as Michael grins.
-
"This wasn't a good idea." Luke mutters to himself yet he couldn't even hear himself say that because the music was so loud.
"So this your house?" A random boy asks Michael and of course Michael nods.
Luke shakes his head at the interaction and grabs the phone from Calum, running up the stairs to his room.
He dials Ashton's number, then hesitates.
Should I tell Ashton? Luke questions himself.
He clicks the call button and waits.
"Hey Luke!" Ashton answers, a young girl moaning in the background catches Luke off guard.
"Um.. What are you doing?" Luke asks uncertain.
"Um- Luke I'm-" Ashton interrupts himself and moans, "I'm busy."
"Fuck you!" Luke yells. "Oh and by the fucking way, We're having a party. And we might let your secret slip."
"Luke-" Ashton's voice gets serious and Luke hears a thud followed by a girl yell 'Hey, what the fuck!' but he hangs up before Ashton could continue.
Luke would never say anything to anyone about their secret, and neither would Calum or Michael. His temper always gets the best of him that's why his old daddy gave him away, he breaks into sobs thinking of what Ashton and that girl were doing.
Ashton doesn't care. Luke thinks.
"He only wants to use us!" Luke shouts throwing something off his nightstand at the wall. It's not like anyone outside these walls could hear the loud thud, the music is too loud. He curls into a ball and cries more.
-
"Luke?" Luke wakes up to Calum knocking on his door.
"Yeah, Come in." Luke sniffles.
"The party's ov- What happened?" Calum begins but sees Luke's red puffy eyes and gets curious.
"Nothing. Just felt alone again." Luke weakly smiles. He didn't want to make anything worse.
"Are you sure?" Calum sits on Luke's bed and pulls Luke close to him.
"I'm sure." Luke falls into Calum's embrace and cuddles into his chest, smelling alcohol and his cologne.
"The party ended a while ago, someone called the cops. They let us off easy. Michael and I didnt know if you were asleep or not." Calum mutters into Luke's hair.
"It's fine. I did fall asleep for a bit." Luke smiles.
They sit there for a while and Luke falls back to sleep.
Calum sees the phone ding and he grabs it.
'48 missed calls from Ashton.'
'57 texts from Ashton.'
Calum sits confused as he reads the texts.
'Luke this is enough.'
'Answer me.'
'Quit being so jealous'
'Dammit Luke.'
There's much more but Calum simply sets Luke off his lap and gets out of Luke's room.
He calls Ashton who picks up the second the phone started ringing
"Hello, Luke? What the fuck you-" Ashton rants.
"It's Calum. And what the fuck happened?" Calum snaps.
"What? He didn't- What?" Ashton stops himself. Luke didn't say anything to the rest of them? Ashton questions.
"Ashton. I know you made Luke cry. What the fuck happened!" Calum yells, yet not too loud. He didn't want to wake up Luke.
"Luke called at a bad time." Ashton sighs.
"You were fucking someone. Weren't you?" Calum let's out a sour laugh.
"Calum-" Ashton begins.
"No. Luke didn't say anything to anyone if that's what your wondering, and yes we had a party I know he told you by the tone in your voice. Oh and when you come back do what you want to Michael and I, but Luke did nothing wrong. I wont be talking to you and I don't think Luke wants to either. Bye Ashton." Calum sternly says and hangs up.
"What was that about?" Michael asks.
"You weren't supposed to hear that." Calum replies.
"I won't worry about it then." Michael smiles softly at Calum.
"Thanks Mike." Calum smiles back. What the fuck just happened? Calum thinks to himself.
