Rest Day

Ashton's POV

I woke up a few hours later, alone in bed. I can't move. I don't want to move. I just want to sit here and be alone. I roll over to my side, just staring straight ahead. I can't do this, not today. Its my only day off. Why of all days, that today my depression wont let me move. I can't do this. I hear the door to the room open. I quickly shut my eyes and pretend that I am asleep.

"Ashton? You awake?" I hear someone whisper

I hear the footsteps walk in front of me, and a hand placed on my side.

"Go away." I whisper, I just need to be alone.

"Buddy, Its 2pm. You need to get out of bed."

"I'm fine, leave me alone." I groan

I open my eyes to see Calum standing in front of me. I pull the blanket over my head. I hear his footsteps exiting the room and the door closing. I shut my eyes and go back to sleep. I can't deal with this anymore

Calum's P.O.V

"He's not getting out of bed." I say as I walk back towards the group of boys in the living room. I see Luke sitting at a barstool, and Michael spread across the couch.

"What do you mean? its 2pm?" Luke says

"He told me to go away, and that he's fine. I think he went back to sleep." I say

"Do you think that this is just Jet-Lag or an Ashton issue?" Michael says

"I think its an Jet-Lag Issue, He was asleep from the time we left the venue to now, so he's probably just tired." I say

"Actually....last night....he had a mental break down, I got him into bed, and went to take a shower. He came into the bathroom sobbing. He was crying so hard I couldn't understand him until he calmed down a bit. I finally got him calmed down, and then something strange happened. He stripped completely nude......I told him he kept his boxers on, I got his boxers back on. We ended up kissing......" Luke says hesitantly.

I am in complete shock, did Luke just say that him and Ashton kissed last night? I am dumbfounded, I cannot believe what I am hearing.

"I can't keep this to myself anymore, I've been having these conflicting feelings, the hot and cold feelings, I'm not gay, but there's something about Ashton, I can't explain it. Please keep this between us for now. He can't handle knowing that you guys know." Luke Says.

I just nod my head, I don't have any words to say. Luke stands up from the bar stool and heads back into him and Ashtons room.

I can't believe Luke is in Love with Ashton???

Luke's P.O.V

I walk back into our room, I see Ashton's body laying there in bed. When Calum told us that he was still in here asleep I know I needed to check on him. I lock the door behind me, He needs me right now. I walk over to the bed and strip down to my boxers. I slide into bed next to him, wrapping my body around his.

"What do you want?" I hear from him in a groggy voice.

I don't say anything, I just start stroking his arm gently. Rubbing small circles on his forearm.

"Luke, Please, I can't get out of bed, leave me here, go enjoy today." he utters

"I rather be here with you." I say as I pull him closer.
