LUKE

"Guys where are we going?" Ashlynn whined half-heartedly.

"We're seeking justice for you," Blake dramatically replied.

"I'm not following she said then yawned.

"Just be patient," I smiled.

She groaned and crossed her arms over her chest before pouting and leaning back against the back seat. We were nearly at our destination and Ashlynn had been whining the whole trip. "Where are we going?" "What are we doing?" Why did you make me get out of bed?" Daisy was sitting in the front passenger seat as Blake drove, Calum and Michael drove behind us and Ashton and I trapped Ashlynn in the back seat.

When we finally pulled up Ashlynn looked less then impressed, "are you kidding me?" she deadpanned.

"We just want an apology from him for you, nothing more," Blake explained to her.

"In case you've forgotten, I don't want to see that cheating son of a bitch," she said with a growl.

"Just this time and you never have to see him ever again. I promise," Daisy assured her.

"Ugh! Fine. But I'm not going to promise I won't punch his stupid face," she huffed.

"Fine by us," Ashton smiled then opened the car door.

Calum and Michael met us by the front door. We all waited silently for a minute or two, waiting for someone to knock. Eventually Daisy huffed and kicked on the wooden door twice. It went silent for a while.

"He's not home. Lets just leave," Ashlynn said, trying to walk away but I grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

Daisy knocked on the door louder and stepped back, "I swear to god I'm going to kick this fucking door down," Michael grumbled.

"Why?" Ashton asked.

"Because his car is right there," Blake answered for him.

"Dan open the fucking door!" Daisy shouted as she slammed her fist against the sold surface.

A few seconds later the dick head revealed his stupid face. He nervously laughed and scratched the back of his neck. He was a mess. His hair was tasselled and knotted like he'd just gotten out of bed. He was in just a pair of black boxers and hickies cluttered his neck and chest. Ashlynn looked like she was about to explode in rage.

"Hey guys," he said awkwardly.

"I believe you owe Ashlynn an apology," Calum told him, straight to the point.

"What for? She dumped me remember?" he said, less awkward more annoyed.

"You but for the video you posted and for cheating on her," I seethed through gritted teeth.

"I don't owe her shit," he said aggressively

"Look Dan. We've been mates for ages. Just please apologise to Ashlynn and we'll leave," Blake told him.

"Well sorry to disappoint you all but you wasted a trip," he said and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Guys let's just go," Ashlynn begged.

"He owes you an apology and you'll be getting one," I told her.

"What are you going to do Luke? It must feel like shit knowing Ashlynn chose me over you," he smiled smugly.

As my blood began to boil I grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him outside. I tackled the basted to the ground and pinned him down by straddling his waist. He kept pushing me, trying to get me off of him but he was coming up short. I grunted as I took the first swing. I hit his jaw but didn't do much damage. I kept taking swings until his node was bleeding and Ashton dragged me off him.

We got into Blake's car, leaving Dan lying on his front lawn. None of us looked back to see if he was ok or to help him out. Ashlynn seemed to be in shock. I looked down at my knuckles and saw the bruising was already starting to show.

"Are you ok?" Ashlynn's timid voice asked from beside me.

"Yeah...fine," I answered.

"Do they hurt?" I looked over at her and her face held genuine concern.

"I don't know. I'm kinda on an adrenalin high," I chuckled.

"Yeah I get that," she smiled with a blush.

"Like when you punched Tanya's face in?" I asked.

She laughed, "Yes, like when I punched Tanya's face in," she concurred.

"I saw pictures. She's not so "pretty" anymore," I laughed.

"Pretty? Luke c'mon. Tanya was never pretty," she joked.

"I know," I smiled.

"When we get back I'll clean them up," she offered.

"I'll take you up on that"
