ASHTON'S P.O.V.

" HEY FAG !"

That's always what I hear when I walk into school. It was all because some kid freshman year was dared to kiss me but they had another idea pushing him into me knocking us to the floor. He was so embarrassed when I realized what had happened, he got hard. We both got up off the ground trying to play it off but of course someone had to point it out. The kid was so embarrassed and humiliated that he transferred schools a week later. Ever since that day everyone has bullied me, the usual stereotypical bullying, being thrown in the dumpsters, punches and kicks sent my way. I don't work out at all, so I can't stand up for myself. I wonder if Luke knows I'm gay? Would he still care?

"OOMPH" I fall to the ground pain shooting through my head. Slowly I turn over to face three guys from the football team.

" Don't walk away when we call you, fag. " Jake the captain of the football team spat at me. Drew one of the other kids nodded to Brad I think his name is, and they grabbed my arms and pinned me against the lockers, I winced in pain at their grip. Jake walked slowly up to me grinning while cracking his knuckles. Two blows to my stomach I close my eyes waiting for more pain to come when I hear his voice,

" HEY! PUT HIM DOWN " Luke shouted. Drew and Brad tightened their grip on my arms causing me to shout in pain.

" And what if we don't let gay boy here go hmm ?" Jake questioned in a sickly sweet tone.

" Put him down or you'll regret it " Luke growled at them. Soon I was dropped down roughly with two kicks to my stomach and them walking of laughing. I tried standing up but fell back down to the ground putting an arm around the pain squeezing my eyes shut. I felt arms wrap around my body slowly helping me stand up opening my eyes taking a deep breath. Once I got to my balance back Luke kept a hand on my shoulder.

" Are you okay ?" He asked. I just nodded, wincing as I bent down to pick up my books. We walked in silence to class.

-------------------------------------

The final bell rang signalling the end of the day I packed my belongings walking out of the classroom slowly and down to my locker. As I was putting my books away and getting ready to leave I felt a hand grasp my shoulder which made me jump and shout in fear. I winced in pain after I realized it was Luke who had grabbed my shoulder.

"Sorry," He says shyly." I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out again. "

"Sure, do we have to go a house though?" I ask. I know I brought him over once but I knew my mum was working and I don't know him well. I mean after three years of hell he shows up the night I plan on dying and asks me to just give him a chance to change my mind. I doubt it but I'm curious.

" No we can do whatever you wish,"He says then adds." Within reasoning." I nod and pull on a Hoodie over my long sleeve shirt.
Luke watches me as I pull out my phone from my locker turning it on. It turns on slowly as I pull out a pair of headphones.

We start walking down the hallway to the exit. I hand Luke a headphone and put on my playlist of Green Day, All Time Low, and Blink-182. I can tell Luke is okay with it as American Idiot plays first and he mouths the words. He smiles when he catches me smiling at him. I blush and look away. I start walking to the nearest forest I've been wanting to just walk through. Four songs later we stop just before the forest entry. Luke looks at me with a worried glance, I knew he would get crept out. I look down at my hand and mumble out some words.

" We don't have to go in... I can just walk you back home." Out of the corner of my eye I see a hand reaching out to my hand. Luke's right hand goes under my chin making look at him and his left one intertwining with my right.

" I don't care how creepy it is we made a deal and I'm gonna stick to it. Don't be embarrassed about wanting to have some fun with a little of adventure. " He gives me a bright smile squeezing our intertwined fingers. He removes his hand from under my chin leading us into the forest his left hand still in my right.

He begins walking randomly when I see a path already made. I pull him to it . I know he gets what I'm doing when he let's out a small laugh. I can't help but smile. We walk for a good 20 minutes when I see a stream of water. I let go of Luke's hand walking over to the stream crouching down seeing some small fish and some tadpoles.

"Look Luke, tadpoles!" He laughs and walks over looking at them.
"They are gonna be big turtles one day." I smile.

"No there not," He says." Are you serious bro? "

" Dammit they're misquote's aren't they!"

"What!?" He says giving a laugh.

" W-what are tadpoles?"

"Ash tadpoles are baby frogs, not turtles or misquote's," He says.

" I really should pay attention during Science more, huh?" I laugh him joining along.

I stand up pulling my jacket around me a little closer. The weather getting a tad bit colder. We begin walking back the way we came finding our way out of the forest. Ten minutes later we pass the school continuing our walk back home. My body shook from the cold my nose has a red tint making me look like the Christmas deer everyone seems to love. I pulled jacket closer to my body looking for a tad bit more heat. I stuffed my hands in my pocket only to have one removed and clasped into another set of fingers much warmer than my frozen fingers. I smiled heat trying to show on my cheeks but the cold battling the only chance it had.

I could see my house nearing. Making me want to turn around and drag Luke somewhere else just to spend time with him.

"Well here we are. I'm assuming this is the end of our wonderful day. I had a lot of fun...maybe do something tomorrow? " Luke asked his ears pink with cold and embarrassment

"Yeah, it was fun. Well see about tomorrow," I said shyly." And uh thanks...for uh yep." Why am I so damn awkward.

"Of course. Bye Ash"

"Bye Luke"

I set my hand on the doorknob still looking at Luke I leaned over to him setting a small fragile kiss to his pink cheeks that turned a dark shade of red. Turning the knob my hand slipping from Luke's. Him waving as he walked alone to his household.

I stepped into the house closing the door behind me I leaned against it, heart fluttering just thinking of the blue eyed angel. I heard a throat clear making me scream and slide down the door in fear. I looked up at my mother with her hand on her stomach laughing hard. Mumbling under my breath I pulled my shoes off, standing up off of the floor. I walked up to my room ignoring my mum's stares and strange glances.

Going to my desk and pulling out my work I complete it. Turning around I make my way to my bed and decide to lay there for a while. I roll over almost falling onto the floor, so I grab my laptop and find some random thing to keep me entertained. I find a site that allows you to talk to strangers. I create an account looking around on the site. A message popping up so I click on it. When I get a call from downstairs telling me lights out. Sighing I close the laptop and place it under the bed. I pull my phone from my pocket placing it on the charger. It flashes on showing an message from Luke.
