Chapter 25

Luke's POV

I opened my eyes and I was in the forest, alone. Where's Ashton. "Ash!" I call out. "Luke!" I heard. "Where are you!?" I called out again. "Over here, Luke hurry please!" I followed the voice and I saw him hanging by his hands and him tied up to a tree. Then I saw his dad. "Don't you hurt him!" I yell. He didn't listen he just smirked. He came up to Ash and shoved the knife in his stomach. "Ash!" I sobbed. I went up to him grabbed the knife out of his stomach and stabbed his father.

I untied him and held his lifeless body in my arms trying to find the road. "Ash, come on please stay awake, I need you I can't lose you." I sob. Then his eyes slowly closed. I fell to my knees. "Ash, no, please wake up!" I cried. "Luke." I heard. "Ash?" I sniffled. "Luke." I heard again.

I opened my eyes and saw that Ashton was okay. "Ash, what happened?" I asked. "You had a nightmare, you kept saying my name and telling me to wake up." He said. "What was your nightmare about?" He asked. I shook my head and he left it at that. "I'm glad it wasn't real." I say. I looked at the clock and it was 9. "Well we might as well stay awake." I say.

"When's your birthday?" I asked. "January 9." He said.

(Let's just pretend okay, thanks)

"Your birthday is in a few weeks." I smile. "Oh yeah, it is huh?" He says. "How could you forget your own birthday." I say, he shrugs. "Well we have to do something." I say. "No you don't have to I don't really like to celebrate my birthday, I don't like the attention." He says. "Too bad." I say and he pouts. I see him shiver a bit so I grab a blanket and put it around us.

"Thanks." He smiles. I turn on the TV and a Christmas program was on I think it was How The Grinch Stole Christmas. "This is my favorite." Ash says. "Mine too." I smile at him. He cuddles closer to me and I wrap my arm around me. We sat there in a comfortable silence. Then there was knock at the door. "Come in." I say. I saw it was my mum. "Oh good you guys are awake, I got you some hot cocoa." She smile. She hands us the hot cocoa and she leaves.

"Oh this is so warm." Ash says. We continue to watch the movie without any conversation until a commercial comes on my mum comes back in. "Hey, me and the boys are leaving for a few hours, okay, oh and can you guys get a Christmas tree thanks, and no funny business I heard you guys other night." She said and we blushed. "Okay so let's get ready." I say. We set the hot cocoa down and we get out of our pjs and put clothes on.

We get the money my mum left for us and we got in the car. "Oh hey look at this, your jersey, number 96." He says. "Woah that still stinks of sweat, okay." He says and puts it back on the seat. "I haven't washed that since I got it." I laugh. "Ew Luke! I touched it!" Ashton squeals and wipes his hand on me. I laugh and grab his hand. I laced it together with mine.

When we finally found a Christmas tree we tied it on the top of the car and drove home. "That was horrible." Ashton says. "It wasn't that bad, who knew there was ice on the floor." I laugh. "That hurt my bottom, I'm going to have a bruise." He complains. "Don't worry it'll go away." I say putting a hand on his thigh. "Yeah, yeah." He says. "You know I love you." I say. "Yeah, I love you too." I laugh at him.

"Come on, cheer up your birthday is in a few weeks." I say. "Oh yay, a year older." He says dead panned. When we got home I put my gloves on and brought it down. Ashton held the door open and I dragged it in and put it on the thingy that holds the tree up and I put water in it. I see Ashton sweeping up the left over pine needles. I come up behind him and scare him. He jumps so every pine needle falls out of the dustpan.

"Luke!" He yells. "Sorry babe, I'll help you." I chuckle. We sweep up the pine needles and dump them in the trash. "Okay the ornaments are up in the attic." I say and he follows me. We go up into the attic, I pull down the string and it turns on the very dull light. "There it is." Ashton points out and goes to it. He jumps up and can't reach it. "You need help?" I asked. "No... I got... it." He said in between grunts as he jumps to reach it.

"You know what forget it, I give up." He said. "You know we have a stepping stool." I say. "Now you tell me, why didn't you tell me before." He says. "I forgot." I laugh and give him the stepping stool. He climbs on it and gets the box down. We get down from the attic and we put the box on the couch. I pull the lid off and we started decorating.

After we were done decorating, and me helping Ash because he's too short we, were finally done. "You know this is like my first official Christmas, you know as a family kinda." He says. "Oh well I'm glad you're spending it with my family." I smile. "I'm doing a lot of first things with you." He says. Ash's head was on my lap and I played with his little curls. His eyes began closing and closing until he was finally asleep. I moved so we could both be lying down and his hand was on my chest and soon enough I fell asleep too.

Now my hearts breaking and I don't know what to do

Thought we were going strong

Thought we were holding on

Aren't we?
