delusional disorder ☹ muke

lie

"what are you doing here?" luke asked
"i was driving past and saw your car in the driveway so i thought i'd say hello" ashton answered
"ashton, i can't hang out right now, i'm hanging with michael" luke said softly
"michael" ashton said harshly "the friend who's rude to you?"
"friend?" michael asked as he turned his head to luke
"i um-"
"yeah, friend" ashton said "luke let's go, you don't need him in your life"
"last time i checked, i was his boyfriend" michael yelled
"what" ashton said softly "are you cheating on me?" ashton turned his head to luke
"cheating?" michael scoffed "he was never dating you in the first place"
"he was. we've been dating for almost two weeks" ashton yelled
"what the fuck luke" michael said loudly
"we've only known each other for a week" luke said quietly as he played with his fingers "we hung out as friends, but i never considered him my boyfriend"

tears fell from ashton's eyes as he ran out the door. he was so in love with luke, why did he lie about their relationship?
