Infatuation (Muke)

"Give me your phone"

"Luke, Wake up dammit!" Ashton shouted ripping the blankets off of the blonde Aussie.

Luke covered his face with his pillow along with a groan "ugh, what time is it?"

"It's time to get up, that's what time it is." Ashton said grabbing a pair of Luke's black skinnies and throwing them at him. "You said you'd help me find the perfect birthday present for Emily, and her party is starting soon."

"Fuck" Luke grumbled grabbing his phone off of the nightstand. He squinted his eyes at the brightness and saw it was three in the afternoon.

"Ever since you and Ashley broke up, we never see each other anymore. You're always cooped up in your room being a hermit." Ashton complained.

Luke rolled out of bed and began putting his pants on "Sorry, it's just- I don't know, I haven't been feeling good."

Luke and Ashley dated for about a year, they were a normal happy couple and yeah, sure, they got into their fights once in a while.. But Luke didn't think anything was wrong in their relationship. Until he found out Ashley was cheating on him with some random guy.

"I know man, just try to take your mind off of her tonight, who knows, maybe you'll meet a nice girl at Emily's party." Ashton smirked.

Luke ignored Ashton's cheeky grin and sat on the bed with his face in his hands "I don't want to meet anyone yet.. I'm not ready."

Luke is a genuinely good guy, he would never cheat on anyone and he wouldn't want to use a girl as a rebound to forget about his first love, it's just not the type of guy he is.

Ashton put his hand on Luke's shoulder "I understand mate, just come out and have a good time."

Luke looked up at him and half smiled "Okay, fine.. But you know I hate parties."

They walked out of Luke's room and Ashton asked "Why don't you just try to have a drink? Like, why are you so scared of being drunk?"

Liz interrupted them "Because Ashton, my son is smart and drinking is dangerous."

Ashton's face went blank "Sorry Mrs. Hemmings.. I'm not trying to-"

She let out a laugh "Im joking! Luke you're almost nineteen years old, you've been legal for almost a year now, it won't hurt to have a few drinks."

"Mum! You're on Ashton's side for this? Really?" Luke laughed shaking his head.

"Hey, if you don't want to drink then okay, I'm just saying.. It wouldn't hurt to have some fun. I remember when I was younger and-"

Luke opened the door quickly "Okay I'll 'have fun', see you later!"

"YOU BOYS BEHAVE AND ASHTON, don't get my son too drunk." Liz raised her eyebrow.

Ashton giggled and waved "Don't worry! He's in good hands."

They got into Ashton's car.

"What do you think Emily would like?" Asked Ashton

Luke looked around the mall and saw the music shop "I don't know, maybe a CD? Like her favourite bands album."

Ashton looked at him a little sceptical "Is that what you would've gotten Ashley?"

"You know, bringing her up is really helping me forget about her." Luke implied sarcastically.
