Chapter 8

Ashton's POV

I couldn't sleep the thunderstorm kept me up. Every clap of thunder I hear I whimper and dig my face into Luke's arm. I covered myself with a blanket, with Luke next to me and the blanket it was warm. I looked at Luke he was sound asleep. I heard another one. A tear fell from my eye. I held Luke's arm tighter. I closed my eyes and tried to go asleep but I couldn't. Luke groaned and his eyes fluttered open.

"Ash, are you okay?" Luke asked. "Y-yeah I just can't sleep." I say. "So I woke up for nothing." He snapped. "I-I." Was all I could say. "I didn't mean to wake you up." I said softly. "You don't mean a lot of things, do yeah Ash." He snapped. I whimpered. "Just leave and let me sleep." He said pointing to the door. I left the bed and dug in my bag looking for what I was digging for I found it and went to a different door, the bathroom door.

I sat on the floor just thinking if I should do it. I didn't even think I just did it. I pressed it against my skin. Blood oozing out of my flesh. I did it about three more times until I heard pounding on the door. "Ash I'm sorry I didn't mean that I'm very cranky when I'm woken up." Luke said on the other side of the door. I cleaned up my mess and opened the door. He saw what I had in my hand. "You didn't use that did you." He said.

I didn't answer. "Ash, did I make you do that." He said. I didn't answer that either. "Goddamn it Ash just fucking answer me!" He yelled. I flinched back. "Ash I-I am so sorry. He said calming down. He reached for my hand but I flinched back. "Ash, I'm sorry I yelled at you, but did I make you do this." He repeated. "You snapped at me and raised your voice and told me to get out." I whispered.

"Ash, look I'm really sorry but you shouldn't do that to your skin." He said lifting my wrist and seeing my scars. He traced over them with his finger. "I'm sorry okay how about we go to sleep, and I make it up to you in the morning." Luke said. I nodded jumping a bit when I heard another thunder clap. We got back in bed and we both fell asleep.

I woke up to see Luke wasn't next to me. I looked outside to see the storm had stopped. I sighed in relief. I went downstairs and saw Luke making breakfast. I snaked my arms around him and he jumped a little when he saw it was me. "Oh, good morning my sunshine." He smiled kissing my cheek. "Morning Lukey." I smiled at him.

"What are you making?" I asked standing next to him. "Bacon and eggs." He replied. "Oh." I said. I didn't want to get fat.

You are already fat you don't need to eat you can lose the weight

He told me. I looked hesitant about the food and Luke noticed my face. "Please eat, for me." He pouted.

No you're already fat you don't need more food

I pushed back those thoughts. "Okay, for you." I said. "Yay." He cheered.

Luke's POV

I made bacon and eggs for me and Ashton only us. Then Jack came downstairs. "Hey Luke." He said. I mumbled a hey. He came up to us and put his arms on Ashton's head. "Uh." I say motioning towards Ashton. "Oh sorry shorty I couldn't help myself." He said looking down on him. Ashton blushed in embarrassment and I laughed.

"I'm just messing with you." He said, ruffled Ashton's hair and then left. "I'm not that short." Ashton mumbled. "Yes you are." I say. He rolled his eyes at me. I chuckled. I finished cooking and I served us and we sat on the table and began eating. Ashton ate slow bites but he was eating and that was all I could ask for. I smiled at him just for making an effort.
