How It Ends {l.h}

Chapter 27

Luke's POV

"How's he doing?" Grace asks as I walk into her room.

"He's doing quite fine. Did you give him a therapy session or something?" I say, chuckling.

She laughs a bit and comes over to me, hugging.

"Can I say something?" She asked.

"Sure."

"Michael's a good fucker." She says which made me burst into laughter. She was blushing so hard it was cute.

"Well I'm better." I state as I hug her from the back once again.

"Try." She said, which made me frown a bit. But when I looked at her she had a evil smirk on her.

"Oh, you are naughty."

We were silent for awhile until Grace spoke up.

"What are you guys going to do with Ashton? Touring outside UK starts in like a week or so right?"

I sigh at that topic.

"It's been two days and no one had been contacting him. Michael did say he's fine Ashton coming back, but I don't see the honesty in his voice." I reply.

"I think it's time, at least talking to each other."

"I'll call him in the afternoon."

-

After an approval from Calum and a dishonest approval from Michael, I called Ashton. He instantly picked up and started apologizing. I had told him to shut up and come over at 7pm. It was now just before 7 and the room's atmosphere was a bit awkward.

The bell rang and Claire had volunteered  to open the door.

"Hey Ashton." Calum sighed as he walked in with Claire.

"Guy, I am so so-" He starts but I cut him off.

"Ashton, it's what happened and we can't change the past anyway. We might not trust you as much as we did, we might not love you as much as we did but we need you as our band member. And that's why we called you here, to talk about the band. The tension between you and Michael will be awkward but we aren't going to cancel all the shows and betray the lads."

"Right okay." He mumbled as he played with his sweater end.

"We'll leave." Grace announced and went off with Claire close by.

"We all want to play the rest of the shows right?" I ask. Everyone nodded.

"We all don't want to let down our fans right?" I ask. Everyone nods.

"We all don't want to complicate things more right?" I ask. Everyone nods.

"Then we shall continue the tour." I state with a small smile.

"Ashton, Michael don't make a huge fuss while we are on tour again okay?" Calum inquires.

"Yeah." Ashton replies, a bit too quick.

Michael nods.

"Michael, say what you want to say." I sigh.

"How's Anna doing?" Michael blurts out.

"She left. She's in Australia."

"What how?" Calum asks.

"We-we came back to get our stuff that night. We sneaked in from the window and yeah." Ashton explains. "And she left me too."

Michael's expression got a bit loose and a small smile appeared. I glanced at Michael and caught his eye. I quickly raised my eyebrow, saying it wasn't a good time.
