Highway Don't Care||Lashton

Chapter 15

Sorry I haven't updated in over a month wow. So so sorry☮

Ashton's POV

One month today.
One month today since I lost my best friend.

No one could possible understand what I'm going through, unless you've lost someone who meant the world to you.

I'm meant to be starting back at school tomorrow but I'm not sure how I'll do that.

I have no one.
Jess is gone forever, Luke, well I've probably lost him forever too.

I don't even deserve them. I'm worthless and I'm just nothing without them.

Luke's POV

Today was the day I was meant to be released from hospital.
If I had somewhere to go.

I don't have anymore friends, I don't have a family and I don't have Ashton.
I should've told him about them to start with.

My phone rang and I already knew it would be Ashton. I decided to answer this time because why the hell not.

"Um hi?"
"Luke, um I-I'm just letting you know that I can't do this anymore I have absolutely nothing if I don't have you, and no one wants to live with nothing so um yeah"
"Ashton, if you're trying to make me feel bad, well done. But it doesn't change anything"
"I wasn't actually I didn't even think you'd answer. Seeing as you don't need me anymore I guess this is goodbye"
I started crying, I don't even know why or now, at this time, but I did.
"Lukey, why are you crying w-what's wrong? Talk to me, please"
I sighed. "I-it, um I need you to come down to the hospital and I'll tell you then. Please I really need you"
"What do you mean by that"
"I mean I really need us. Please hurry up Ash, I'm sick of this place"

Ashton's POV

After I got off the phone with Luke I went downstairs and practically begged mum to borrow the car. She said yes but I had to get McDonalds for dinner on the way home. She said it's because she's lazy and didn't want to cook but whatever.

I drove to the hospital and, to be honest I was probably driving a bit faster than I should've but I couldn't care less.

I parked at the closet spot I could find and walked inside to the visitors desk thing.
I don't even know what it really is, you just have to sign your name and I don't why.

When I got to Luke's room there was a doctor in there talking, more like arguing with him. I waited outside and blocked the noise out because I really didn't what to know what it was about, until the doctor walked out past me and wow, he looked pissed off.
I rushed inside

"Lukey, wh-what was that all about?"
"Uh that's what I needed to tell you about. My parents. I don't know what to do. I can't go home because I can't live in that hell anymore. That's the main reason why I'm here, I told you I was going away with my parents, but I was actually going away from them.
I hate them so much and they hate me. I don't want to go back to that hell. Please save me"
"I don't know what to say. I'm not sure what you mean by your parents hating you so I'm not going to assume the wors-"
"Assume the worst because what you're thinking. It's most likely worse than that"
"Ok well you can come stay with me until you can walk again, but it's illegal unless mum adopts you and that would be to complicated and weird you know?"
"Yeah I agree it would be"
"So how about I take you now and you can stay with me until you can walk again and could we please talk to my mum about it? She'll know what to do"
"Thank you so much" his voice was just above a whisper and he just looked so sad and miserable, I just wanted to hold him and never let him go.

We sorted out the discharge papers, I got Luke's bag and then wheeled him, I don't know how else to say it, out to the car.

I knew this would be difficult but we'd make it through this. I hope.
