Chapter 22

Luke's POV

I woke up in the middle of the night to screaming. I looked over at Ashton he was squirming in bed. "No.... please don't hurt him. I-I'll do anything, just not him. Please." He said. Him? Suddenly everything began to shake. "Ash, wake up." I say shaking him. "Ashy, baby wake up." I say, again. He shot up gasping for air and the earthquake stopped. "Luke." He said and gave me a hug crying into my shoulder.

"Ash, tell me what happened?" I ask him. "M-my dad he c-ame back and he tried to kill y-you." He hiccuped. "I didn't w-want h-im to-to hurt y-you." He said. "Ashy, it's okay I'm fine, I'm okay your dad isn't here anymore, okay." I say kissing his lips. "Luke I'm really sorry." He says fiddling with the hem of his shirt. "Why are you sorry?" I asked. "Because I keep waking you up like every night, don't you get annoyed of that, of me." He said.

"Ash, I can never get annoyed of you and no I don't get annoyed of waking up for you because I have to know you're okay and when you're okay it makes me happy because I don't like seeing you sad." I say caressing his cheek. "Now let's go to bed." I smile. He lays back down and instantly falls asleep. I get up and go downstairs to be met with my mum, Jack, and Ben.

"Don't you guys sleep." I laugh. "Yeah but didn't you feel the earthquake?" Jack asked. "Yeah nothing's going to happen." I say. "How do you know?" My mum asked. "I just do." I shrug. "You're hiding something from us." Ben says. "No I'm not." I deny. "Luke you're our baby brother I pretty sure we know when you're lying." Ben scoffs. "Well it's not mine to tell." I say. "Is it about Ashton?" My mum asked.

"Yeah." I say. "You can tell us." They say sitting down at the table so I do too. "Well, he can sorta control the weather like he has the power to I guess you can say." I explain, kinda. "You're lying." Jack says. "No I'm serious it's why it snowed and when it rained when he came home from the party." I say. "You're not lying." Ben says. "No I'm not." I say. "So like is that all he can do?" My mum asked. I nod.

"So how does he control the weather?" Ben asked. "Well it's based on his like his main emotions he can't control it sometimes, like if he's happy there's rainbows, if he's sad there's rain, if he's angry there's a thunderstorm, if he's in love it snows, or if he's scared there's an earthquake, if he's excited there's a double rainbow, if he's nervous there's a hailstorm but like small hail, if he's shocked there's a lightning storm, if he's in pain it gets windy, and if it's sunny he has mixed emotions or if he has an empty feeling." I explain.

"Okay so how come there was an earthquake?" Ben asked. "He had a nightmare." I say. "Well it's 4 in the morning I better go back to bed." Jack says. "Me too." Ben says. When they left I got my glass of water and took a gulp. "So how come Ashton was beat up?" My mum asked. "Oh, my teammates Chad, Brett, and Ryan did it." I say. "And where were you." She said. "Getting dressed." I say she nods.

"Oh that reminds me, Ashton doesn't look too good can he stay home?" I asked. "Yeah, I'll call the principal, I'm pretty sure you would want to stay home as well, so I'll call the coach too." She says I nod. "Thanks mum, love you." I say kissing her cheek and walk back upstairs. I get back in bed with Ashton, him immediately cuddling to me.

Ashton's POV

I opened my eyes and saw it was 11:00. "Luke wake up we're late for school." I shake him. "Hmm." He mumbles. "We are late for school." I say again. "Ash, it's okay my mum called the principal saying you're not going to be able to make it to school, the same with me." He says. I lay back in relief. "How come she called?" I ask. "Oh because I told her too because you didn't look so good and plus I get to take care of you and spend the whole day with you." He smiles.

"But you always spend the whole day with me." I laugh. "Yeah but no interruptions." He says.

(If you think this is getting dirty, it's not)

"Oh but your game is tomorrow." I say. "I know but you're more important." He smiles. He gets up and I sit up in bed. "How's your eye." He says touching it. "Ouch." I say. Then something knocked on the window. He looked and saw it was just a tree because it was windy. "Do you need some ice?" He asked.

"No I'm fine." I say. "Too bad I'm being a good boyfriend, you're getting some ice." He says sternly kissing my cheek before going downstairs. I check my phone and saw a text message, it read:

'Aww got beat up,you're so pathetic your boyfriend to the rescue. You're so pathetic you can't stand up for yourself and fight your own fights you really are worthless' -B

I felt tears down my face.

Why am I crying I should be used to this?

"Ash what's wrong?" He asked. I just showed him my phone. "Ashy, you are not worthless okay don't believe anything this person says." He says. I nod but deep down I did really feel worthless. He gives me the ice. I put it on my eye and lay back down. I look at the ceiling.

I don't deserve Luke?
He can do better.
Why does he want me?
I'm nothing compared to him.

"Ashton." I hear and I snap out of my thoughts. "Huh." I say. "I asked if you were feeling okay, but you seem too deep in thought." He laughs. "Sorry I'm just thinking." I say. "Penny for your thoughts?" He asked. "Oh it's nothing." I say. "Ashy please." He says. "It's stupid." I say. He then climbs on top of me. "Luke get off me." I say. "Tell me what you were thinking of." He says. "Fine, fine." I say.

"I was just thinking that like I don't deserve you like you can do better and why do you want me and I'm nothing compared to you." I tell him. "Ash, I love you and only you, you may seem like I can do better but in reality I don't want better I want you and only you." He says booping my nose. "I know I just think the worst I'm sorry." I say. "It's okay, I love you." He says kissing me. "I love you too."

I want to write you a song

One as beautiful as you are sweet

And just a hint of pain

For the feeling that I get when you're gone
