The Ultimate Senior Year Plan {lashton/malum}#Wattys2016

~Luke~

It was really awkward to be sitting on the couch with Ben and Jack along with Mike, Ashton and Calum. Ashton was sitting next to me holding my hand and Mike had his hand on mine. Everything was pretty much changing ever since we mentioned the truth. Mike had this glow about him and I think he pretty much forgave Ryan about everything he did to him. Ben and Jack was sitting across from me. I opened my mouth but then closed it. It was easier to speak up when I'm with Ash, Cal and heck even Mike made it easier for me to talk and I was really scared of Mike. Not to mention my parents finally decided to show up. "Luke you going to say something, you were at the police station and you were crying" Ben stated to me gently. "What do you mean Luke was at the police station" Mom asked me and my dad was frowning at me. "Luke please talk to us" Ben pleaded with me. "That's not going to happen he's mute Ben" Jack pointed out to Ben. "He raped me" I mumbled out loud and Ben scooted closer to me. "What Luke I couldn't hear you" Ben grabbed my hands. "I just want to help" Ben stated to me. I coughed and I opened my mouth but my eyes were red and puffy probably from all the crying. "A teacher raped me" I looked at my feet and I saw Ben jumped off the table he was sitting at. Jack looked confused totally and utterly confused. "Luke just said he was raped by one of the teachers at the school" Ben announced to everybody and my mom's eyes went wide. She was about to go in for hug. "I don't like being touched" I stated to her and my mom looked like she wanted to cry at that statement. "Who's this teacher that I need to sue" Dad crossed his arms. "Andrew Bridges" Mike took over for me and i looked at him with gratitude. "We already gave the police our statements" Mike continued to give information. "What do you mean we" Ben turned to ask all of us. "We all were victims of his" Ashton spoke up this time. Ben and Jack eyes went wide. "You know I know you didn't or wanted us to hang out with Luke" Mike crossed his arms. "I know to you I will always be that stalker kid." Mike stated and stood in front of Jack. "You wanna know how I know a lot information about everyone. Maybe it's because I had no one to talk to so I became observant in other people. I would say I'm pretty good isn't that right Jack Kevin Hemmings" I saw Mike lip turns into a smirk and I couldn't help but smile at that. "That's so creepy" I heard Jack walked away from the kitchen. "Luke why didn't you tell me" Ben asked me and I looked down at my hands. "Because I was scared" I kept moving my hands and I saw Ashton was rubbing to try to get me to stop being nervous. "You know dad's pissed. he's probably going to sue the school" Ben just pushed his hair back. "Yeah I had a feeling that's what going to happen" I mumbled out loud. "I guess I should thank you guys" Ben looked at Ash, Cal and heck even Mike. "What for" Mike leaned back on the couch. "For bringing the old Luke back" Ben looked at me when he said that out loud. I felt a small smile appear on my face. "He touched all of you guys" Ben asked each one of us. "Yeah he did Ben but it was happening for Mike for so long" I stated to him. "He changed all of us" Ashton told Ben while looking down at his feet. Ben left the living room to leave us alone to chat probably. "I always hated cheerleading. The idea of cheerleading always bothered me but I knew I could get a scholarship with cheerleading. Well there that dream go" Ash leaned his head back with a sigh. "We could help you" Cal mentioned to him and I just glared at Cal and Cal just put his hands up in surrender. "Think about it Ash, you were going to apply for scholarships just think about the money I give you as a scholarship" Cal told Ash. I had to give props to Cal for thinking it that way. Cal was actually smart more smart than his mother would have known. I looked around my house and i looked at all of my friends. i heard the doorbell rang and I went to get and there stood Perrie Edwards. She was smiling a little bit. I motioned her into my house. She smiled at me and said thank you. I led her to the living room. "Ash" She called out and Ash smiled at her. "I talked to the cops" Perrie told all of us. "They arrested Andrew Bridges" Perrie gave us a small smile. "I just wanted to say thank you to all of you guys for protecting me from that creep no offense Mike" Perrie was smiling and looking at the ground. "Hey it's not that big of a deal" Mike told her. Suddenly, I didn't even remotely feel well. Everything was so dizzy and I felt someone grab my arm, it had to Ash. It might sound creepy but I memorized his touch. "Luke" I heard Ash words and then everything turned black. I still felt someone holding me up. "Come on Luke wake up. If you don't your parents want to take you to the hospital and I know you wouldn't want that" Mike was now talking to me. I felt myself slowly opening my eyes. I heard Ash screaming to the other room. "He's awake". I just smiled to myself. "What happened" I asked them. "Cal told us you haven't been eating" Mike rubbed the back of his neck. "We not telling your parents. I know how it feels to feel the need to not eat. I've been there" Mike shrugged his shoulders. "And Cal and Ash gets it with their cuts marks. They both relapsed so many times just this year" Mike continued to ramble on. I slowly sit up in my bed. "Where's Perrie" I asked Mike and Mike just smiled at me. "I just had Ben drop her of at home." Mike leaned against the back of his chair. "You starved yourself" I turned my head to look at Mike and Mike just nodded along with smiling a bit. "Yeah why do think my nickname is Purging Mikey" Mike just looked down at his feet. Ashton came back into the room with food. I looked at it. "Don't worry I'm not going to force you to eat it" Ashton pushed it to the side. "It's from your parents" Ashton sighed to me. "I always wanted them home but it's so strange now that they are here." I looked at Ashton. I know he gets it since his mom is basically never at home. He's like the father to Harry and Lauren.
