Chapter 16

Ashton had to cancel the date he and Luke had planned. This was the fifth time this had happened, and Luke was starting to worry.

Luke was also suspicious of how Ashton had enough money to live on his own and spoil him so much. There had to be something going on. Could the two things be connected?

Luke decided to confront Ashton about it. Relationships where built on trust and honesty, and Ashton was obviously hiding something.

Luke knocked on Ashton's apartment door, fiddling with the strap of his bag. Ashton finally opened the door, eyes widening in surprise when he caught sight of Luke.

"Hey babe! I didn't know you were coming over." Luke crossed his arms, pushing Ashton aside so he could get inside. "Princess? What's wrong?"

"This is the fifth time you've canceled a date." Ashton sighed, and Luke glared at him.

"Babe, I'm sorry, but I just get busy and can't-"

"Shut up Ashton and let me finish!" Ashton closed his mouth, nodding his head slowly.

"You cancel dates, you won't tell me what your job is, you can somehow afford to live on your own at 18, you take me on expensive dates, there has to be something going on. How do you get all this money, Ashton?" The hazel eyed boy sighed, taking Luke's hand.

"Come sit down with me. I'll tell you everything." Luke huffed and followed Ashton to the couch. Ashton held Luke's hands in his, playing with his fingers as he spoke.

"When I was your age, I got involved with the wrong people. I did a lot of gambling, and I started owing people money. So I started a business. A terrible, nasty business, but the only thing I could think of to get me the money I needed. I became a drug dealer." Luke shot up, ripping his hands away from Ashton.

"You're a drug dealer!? What the fuck Ashton! I can't date a drug dealer! You could get arrested, or even killed! Do you do drugs, too?" Luke shook his head frantically, standing up.

"No, no no. I've never done any drugs, ever, I promise. I just sell them for the money. I promise Luke, that's all I do. But if I quit, I won't have the money to live away from my family, and I can't go back there." Luke was so mad, he didn't even notice the last thing Ashton said.

"I can't believe this! I can't date a drug dealer. I can't get caught up in something so illegal. I'm sorry Ashton. I can't." Ashton's eyes got misty, and he grabbed for Luke's arm.

"Princess please, please no! Don't break up with me. I'm so sorry, please don't leave me!" Luke bit his lip, closing his eyes.

"I'm sorry," he whispered. He tore his arm away, storming out of his apartment. He was crying so heavily, he didn't even hear the loud sobs coming from behind the door.
