Arrows|Lashton| (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 3

Ashton's POV

I went to the library just not wanting to see Luke. I went to my usual spot in the back of the library to work on my homework. But of course life hates me because I see Luke coming in the library. I sigh hoping he doesn't see me but of course he does. He sits down at the table and I don't make eye contact. "Ashton?" He says. I don't reply. "Please." He begs. I sigh. "What do you want, Luke." I say. "I want you to forgive me." He says.

"Why should I? I can't even trust you." I ask. "Please, I made a mistake if you give me another chance you will not regret it." He smiles. "Luke, I told you, no. I won't. You said you wanted to be my friend then you go and do this shit. You can't keep doing this. You can't keep coming in and out of my life whenever you please. You will always be an asshole who doesn't give a shit about anyone but yourself. No I will not give you another chance." I said. I walked out of the library and Luke looked really sad.

It was the end of the day and I didn't want to see Luke. I am so done with him. I went to my house and no one was home. I set my bag on the ground then my doorbell rang. Who would want to see a pathetic loser like you? He told me. He's right. No one knows where I live. It was Luke. "What do you want Luke?" I asked him. "Another chance?" He asked, with hopeful eyes. "I told you Luke. I can't. I have trust issues if you didn't know that by now." I say. "You do realize I'm not going to stop until you give me another chance." He smiled. "Yeah I realize that and I also realize that you really love annoying me." I joked. He laughed said bye and then left.

It was the next day and I was in the library again. Luke came in, of course. He didn't see me at first, but then he sat down at my table. "Can I help you?" I ask, knowing what his question was. "Forgive me." He smiled ever so cheekily. "Luke you can't expect me to forgive you." I say. "But I won't fuck it up this time. Just one more chance is all I need." Luke said. "Fine. Luke I will give you another chance." I say his face grows wide. "Thank you Ashton!" He exclaims, earning a 'sh' from the librarian. He gives me a hug I was taken back by his action but I hugged back.

The bell rang and both of us went to class. We walked side by side earning looks of disgust from people walking by. They weren't giving the looks to Luke they were giving them to me. We sat in our seats Luke sat in the front as I sat in the back like always. The class went by quickly and we were dismissed.

Our last class were canceled so we got to go home early. "Ashton wait up." I hear from behind me. I turn around and see Luke running to me. I look up at the taller boy and he gave me a smile. We were walking home together I just found out he lives on my street. "Ash, can I come over?" He asked I smiled a bit at the nickname. "Uh I-I don't k-know." I stuttered I don't want my dad meeting him.

"Please?" He asked. "Uh okay fine." I gave in. "Yay." He screams and jumps up and down. We walk up to my door and I was happy my dad wasn't home. We walked upstairs and we sat on my bed. I looked around making sure it was tidy and noticed a lot of arrows all over the wall. "How come you draw arrows?" He asked. "Uh well, an arrow can only be shot by pulling it backwards, right." I say. He nods.

"So it means that it's going to launch you into something great, so I draw them for a reminder, when life is dragging me down I have to focus and keep aiming and I will go to something great." I explain. "That was deep." He says. "Well it's the only thing that keeps me going, life sucks I hate it but sometimes I just wonder if I should give up." I say.

"Well good, you shouldn't give up, someone loves you, your life will get better you should be there to see it." Luke says. No one will ever love you he told me. I know. "Yeah like who loves me, I'm worthless no one would ever love me." I cry. "Ashton you are no worthless, you are amazing don't believe anything someone says about you." Luke says. "Well how should I not believe it, if I hear it all the time." I sigh.

"Ashton I can assure you someone loves you and they would be devastated if you went away." Luke says. "Yeah, like who." I scoff. "I do." He says and presses his lips onto mine. I don't know what kind of feeling this is but his lips on mine just feel so right. We separate. "Y-you love me?" I say. He nods. "I always have since the first day I saw you I was just to nervous to even speak to you. It was like... like love at first sight." He admits.

We hear a door open and close. Shit, my dads home. He opens the door. "Ashton, oh hi, who's this." He says acting all sweet. "Uh dad this is Luke, Luke this is my dad." I say. "Hi Mr.Irwin." Luke says. "Hi." He mumbles as he left. "Your dad seems nice." He said. "That's because you're here." I mumble. "What?" He asked. Nothing." I answer quickly.

"Ashton, I have to go now, I'll see you tomorrow, okay." Luke says. "Okay." He hugs me and leaves. My dad calls me from downstairs. I hesitantly walk downstairs. We meet eye contact and he smirks. I take a gulp. "Didn't I say you can't have friends over unless I know about it." He says. "Yes." I nod. He shakes his head. "You broke one of the rules." He smirks at me.

"I-I'm sorry." I say. "You know what happens when you break a rule." He says and punches me in the stomach. I groan and fall down. He kicks me. "Get up." He commands I do as he says. "Follow me." He says. We enter his room. "Take off your clothes." He commands. I take off all of my clothes tears running down my face. He gets the cuffs.

"Lay down." He says pointing to the bed. I lay down and he cuffs me to the bed. He takes off his clothes. Why does he always do this to me?

---

I get up in the morning remembering what happened yesterday. Why does my dad do this to me?

Because you are worthless and you know it. I know I am.

I get dressed and get ready for school. Then, I start walking to school not really caring if I'm late or not.

Luke's POV

I was talking with my teammates about the upcoming game. I see Ashton and Chad does to, unfortunately. He makes the group follow him as we go to him. "Hey Irwin." Chad calls. He turns around and sees everybody and he looks petrified. "Y-yes." He stutters. "Luke hit him." Chad says and my face goes pale. "W-what." I stutter. "I can't." I gulp. "Why, oh do you like him." Chad mocks. "N-no I don't like him." I say and Ashton's face was filled with hurt. "Then hit him." Chad growls.

I walk up to him and punch him multiple times in the stomach. He falls to the floor. We all laugh and walk away. I can't fucking believe I just did that to him I ruined everything. He will never forgive me. I blew my chance.
