Pink And Pretty Things /L.H&A.I

It was silent for a while, no one really knowing what to suggest.

"I'll call him" Calum said, breaking the silence and answering the question on both of their minds, after a few rings Luke picked up and Calum heard giggles.

"Luke? Where are you? Why are you laughing?"

"Ah hey Cal! What's up?" Luke asked like nothing was wrong

"Don't 'what's up' me, tell me where you are?!"

"Catching up with an old friend, you don't need to worry" This confused Calum, Luke didn't have many old friends? Almost everyone bullied him in school?

"Um okay, well do I know this friend?" The dark haired boy questioned

"Aiden"

Ashton had heard the whole conversation, what the hell was Luke doing with him?

"Luke, no! Why the fuck are you with him?! Where are you, i'll come and get you?"

"No Calum, Aiden has changed! I am fed up of everyone thinking they know what's best for me! Maybe now that I am older, I can make decisions for myself now, kay?"And with that the blonde hung up.

Calum turned to Ashton with a worried but angry expression, "We're going to find them"

Luke hung up the phone in anger. Why is Calum being like this?!

"Ignore him babe, you're better off with me anyways" Aiden chuckled, causing Luke to question what he's really doing here, sat with his crazy ex.

He doesn't want to be around Aiden anymore, talk about even be with him now. But he can't help it. Everyone misses their ex's right? This is what Aiden was like before he went physco, he joked and complimented Luke a lot. Always made him feel pretty in his skirts and with whatever he wore. The only thing that stopped Luke wanting to melt into his eyes all over again was Ashton, who this boy in front of him was not. No one will ever compare to Ashton, his prince. Luke just needs a friend right now.

"So Aiden, have you been with anyone since we... ya know?" Luke stared up at the boy with curiosity.

"Broke up? No, Luke... I-i think this is the right time to tell you. I-ive never go-gotten over you! I can't and never will because I still love you! Please, i am begging you to tell me you feel the same!"

Luke couldn't believe what he was hearing, he still technically has a boyfriend for gods sake and never would he want to be back with Aiden! The thought alone makes him want to puke.

Suddenly Aiden tightly gripped Lukes wrist, not showing any signs of letting go.

"Is said tell me you feel the same!" He growled, his old personality re-appearing. His eyes widened once he realised what he was doing, releasing Lukes wrist and shaking his head repeatedly. "I am s-so sorry. N-no no this isn't... this isn't me anymore"

"I know it isn't Aiden" Luke soothed, softly stroking the older boys arm "But you have to get over me" this was his only chance to end whatever this was for good, for it to be done, and his turn to have the power of the situation. "I love Ashton now and I cant do this again or see you again"

"Y-you love hi-him?" Aiden was given a soft nod in response "Luke no no no, please you cant leave me" Aiden sobbed

"I am sorry, okay? You will find someone who adores you as much as I used too but you don't need me anymore"

'Listen Luke before you go, I need to confess something..."

Lukes POV

After hearing the truth, it was easier to leave Aiden behind. FOR GOOD. I needed an escape, I was too far away to walk back to our room and I had no money for a taxi. I was about to call Cal to apologise and beg him to pick me up when he pulled over to the side of a road.

"I bet you're glad we came to find you now! I am sorry Luke. What where you thinki-"

"I am sorry guys, I've sorted it. I am never seeing him again. Ash! I am so so so sorry!" I murmured into my boyfriends warm jumper.

"Aiden explained everything he did, I should of listened to you"

"Luke, baby its okay"

"I love you Ash..."

"I l-love you too" We both leaned in when Ashtons phone started ringing.

"Sorry baby"

Calum started the car as we chatted and we discussed everything until Ash interrupted.

"FUCK! I haven't been going to work! How the hell did I forget I have a job?!" He laughed "Cal can you drop me off please, I'll just have to borrow a spare uniform"

After a good 15 minutes when we got home, me and Ash decided to catch up when he got back from work. Everything seemed perfect again. Except Michael.
