Arrows|Lashton| (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 4

Luke's POV

It was after school and Ashton always goes to the library during lunch and after school. I run to the library. I go to the library and I see him reaching for a book but can't quite reach it. I walk up to him and get the book down for him. "Thank-" Ashton stops and sees its me. "Oh it's you." He speaks harshly. "Nice to see you too." I laugh. "What do you want?" He asked. "I want to say I'm sorry." I say. "Is that all you have to say you punched me in my stomach, you lied to me, and said you didn't like me after you kissed me." He said.

"I know I'm sorry my Chad made me do it, and I have to stay on the team and be popular." I said and I regretted it as soon as I said it. "Oh I didn't know you were one of those people. I thought you were different but it's okay go ahead mess my feelings up like I care." He says. "Ashton I didn't mean that." I say. "Oh yeah Luke what did you mean?" He asked. I didn't say anything. He scoffs and walks out of the library after checking his book out.

"Wait Ashton I didn't mean that." I call out from chasing him. I get up to him and grab his wrists. He winced in pain. I knit my eyebrows together. I roll up his sleeves and I see new scars and faded scars. "A-Ashton." I say and he broke down in tears. I hugged him and rubbed his back. "Did my teammates make you do this?" I asked. I heard a muffled 'yes'

He separates from our hug and sniffles. I wipe his tears from his cheeks. "Ashton I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that you mean more to me than popularity." I say. "Then prove it, prove it to me that I mean more to you than popularity, because it doesn't seem like it to me." He said. I nod. We walk out of the school and I hesitantly grab his hand but he doesn't pull away. I drop him off at his house and walk back to mine.

Ashton's POV

I walk inside my house and I see my dad is home and he has his friends over. I take a gulp and close the door and their heads turn in my direction. "Guys this is my son Ashton." My dad said bringing me to the couch and sitting me down. "Here have some water." He said handing me a glass of water. I hesitantly take it. After me drinking almost half of it I feel a bit woozy.

Before I knocked out I see my dad come up to me with some rope. I tried keeping my eyes open but the drug my dad put in my water made my eyelids grow heavier and heavier that's when I knocked out.

I woke up on the living room floor my clothes scattered everywhere and my dad and his friends are gone. I check the time and it was 6 in the morning. I get up to take a shower then there's a pain in my bum. I knew what they did but I just couldn't bare to think of it. I get in the shower washing my hair and body. I get out and get dressed I get my stuff and head to school.

I go to my locker to get my books for my first class and I feel someone beside me. I looked and see it was Chad. "What do you want Chad?" I ask harshly. "You." He said and pressed his lips forcefully onto mine. I push him back and I see Luke watching us. "L-Luke it's not what it looks like." I say. He just walks away. "I hate you!" I yell to Chad. "I know." He smirks.

The bell rang and I walked to class and I see Luke sitting in the back of the class. "Luke, Chad kissed me I didn't kiss back." I quickly said. "I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at Chad he shouldn't do that." He said. "So you're not mad at me." I say he shakes his head. I sigh in relief.

---

Luke and I sat at our own table at lunch I didn't get any lunch though. "Do you want any food?" He asked. "No." I said. "Ashton you haven't ate in a while." He said. "It's okay." I say. "Ashton when was the last time you ate." Luke said. "I don't know." I shrug. "Ashton you have to eat." Luke said. "But I'm too fat." I say and put my head down in shame. "Ashton you are not fat you are skinny as hell." Luke laughed.

---

I was in the library reaching for a book. But I couldn't reach it. Why doesn't this school have step stools? "Do you need help?" Luke asked me. "No I can do it." I say. I stand on my tiptoes I almost got it but I still couldn't reach it. I heard Luke chuckle behind me. "Luke uh can you get that book for me please?" I asked. "Sure thing babe." He said. I blushed at the nickname.

You cannot possible like him. He will never like you anyway.

He got the book but wouldn't give it to me. "Luke give me the book!" I shouted. "You have to jump Ash." He said. "But I can't reach it." I pouted. "Okay you can have it just give me a kiss." Luke said.

I pecked his lips and he gave me my book. "Can you take off your jacket." Luke asked. I did as i was told to do. He grabbed my arm and kissed my scars. "I should have been there for you." Luke said. "It's okay you are here now aren't you." I said he nodded. "How come you have a bruise on your stomach?" Luke asked. "Did I do that?" He said. "You did some of it." I said. "I'm sorry Ashton I really am." He said. "It's okay." I said, I'm used to it anyway. "If I did some of it who did the other part?" He asked.

Uh-oh, avoid the question better yet walk away.

I walked away, but that didn't stop Luke. "Ash, who did this to you?" He asked again. "Uh... n-no one." I said. "Chad." He said I shook my head. He gasped. "Is it your father?" He asked. I slowly nodded.

Luke gave me a hug. "I'm so sorry." He said. "Is that all he does." "Y-yes." I lie. "Ashton you are a terrible liar." Luke laughed. "What did he really do?" He asked. Then I broke down in tears. I sobbed on his shoulder. "He does terrible things Luke, terrible things that I just can't repeat." I sobbed. Luke rubbed my back to calm me down. "Don't cry okay it will get better I promise." Luke smiled. "I hope it does." I sniffle.
