Disaster

Skylar's P.O.V
Quickly pushing Harry away, I nervously looked around for the source of the flash, sighing in relief when I see a large group off to the side making funny faces at a camera.
"That was close, too close," I mumble, letting my gaze drop to my hands in guilt. "I'm with Luke, Harry."
His shoulder slouches, and his head falls.
"But I lo-" He began, but cuts himself and quickly stands up, casting on last glance at me before storming off in a flash. A second later, Ashton flops down with a sour expression on his face, I give him a sympathetic smile and pull him in for a hug.
"Things didn't go so well with Rachel, I'm guessing?" I mumble against his shoulder, he shakes his head and sighs loudly in my ear.
"Why do things have to be so complicated?" He whined, squeezing me to the point I can't breath.
"Ash, release." I croak, taking in a large gulp of air when he lets go.
"Trying to get with my girlfriend, Ashton?" A confused Luke appears with a raised eyebrow, his eyes meeting mine, both Ashton and I stay look at each other before shaking our heads.
"I'll see you later, Sky." Ashton smiles before scurrying off, Luke plops down in Ashton's place.
"You look awesome." Luke said, smiling widely, making my eyes drop from his and a blush appear on my cheeks.
"Thanks, you do too." I smile, and he really did, in his black leather jacket, red and black plaid button up shirt, black skinny jeans, and his usual black converse.
"Thanks," he whispered before dropping his gaze to my lips, meeting him halfway, I press my lips to his, but we soon pull apart when Calum suddenly appears, with two red cups and a lazy smile on his face.
"Hey guyssss, whas up?" He slurred, swaying around, making the amber colored beverage slosh around, landing on my dress. I groan and stand up, playfully punching Calums arm before facing Luke.
"I'll be right back, I'm going to the restroom." I rush away from them, cautiously making my way up the stairs, spotting Rachel and Louis making out on the couch knowing I shouldn't bug them. When I opened the first door, I gasped and slammed it shut, obviously people don't know how to use locks around here..
Pressing my ear up against the second door, I open it and find the bathroom empty, smiling in relief, I walk in and turn the water on, only to have the door fly open and in walked Ashton.
"Whoa, Ashton! I could've been on the toilet or something, don't ever to that again!" I screech, flicking water at him before shutting it off.
"Sorry," he chuckled, but he soon slouched against the wall and sighed. "she doesn't even notice I'm here, all she cares about is making out with Louis."
I bite my lip before sighing, I grab his hand and squeeze it hard.
"Look, I'm only doing this to help you get together with Rachel, okay? Nothing more." I sputter, pulling him out of the bathroom and making our way down the stairs and into the room where Rachel and Louis are in. Spotting them, I turn my back to the and face Ashton with butterflies in my stomach.
"Okay, put your hands on my waist." I mumble, slipping my hands around his neck as his snake around my waist. "Now rock back and forth."
He does as he's told, swaying to the melody of the song, I close my eyes and rest my head on his shoulder, feeling him tense up, but relax a second later.
"Is she looking?" I whisper, Ashton must've looked in her direction, because he stiffened up.
"She's looking this way, and she doesn't look happy." He whispered back, pulling my back with a nervous expression "please don't hate me."
He leaned forward, pressing his lips to mine, I quickly pushed him away in shock.
"Ashton," I sigh and drop my head on his shoulder. "she's going to hate us for that."
"No she won't. She won't, right?" He asks nervously, pressing his fingers harder into my waist.
"Honestly, I don't know," I reply, this isn't right.."wanna go?"
Without hesitation, he nods and grabs my hands, dragging me out of the building.
"That was such a disaster." He groans, rubbing his hand through his hair in frustration. A second later, my phone starts buzzing like crazy.
Luke: Why the hell were you and Ashton kissing??
Rachel: I didn't know you and Ashton were a thing, what happened to Luke?
Harry: Who else are you stringing along, Skylar?
I draw my eyebrows together, putting my phone away, deciding to explain to them what happened tomorrow.
"You okay?" Ashton asks, raising his eyebrows at me.
"Yeah."I smile, patting Ashton's arm awkwardly. "mind if I stay at your place tonight? I don't want to walk back to the dorm and face Rachel."
"Sure." He nods, and with that, we walk to the apartment without saying another word.
