Infatuation (Muke)

"Good idea"

It was Friday night and Luke hadn't heard from Michael all week. He didn't try to get ahold of him but he did think about him a lot, he talked to Ashton a few times but Ash was too busy with Emily to hangout with him. Typical.
He just went to school then back home and tried to avoid Facebook, he cried a himself to sleep a few times because of Ashley. No matter how much he tried to do things to not think about her, it didn't work. Like reading, listening to music, and he couldn't even finish that song.. Mostly because Michael said it wasn't the best.

It was just after five pm and that's when his phone rang, he picked up

"Hello?"

Michael sounded like he was in a good mood "Hey, did you want to come over tonight?"

Luke smiled "Yeah for sure"

"Awesome, I'll pick you up right away." And with that he hung up.

Luke packed a bag with some extra clothes and a tooth brush and left his room. He walked up to his mom "I'm gonna spend the night at Michael's tonight"

Liz smiled "Okay, behave. I love you."

He hugged her "I will, I love you too."

He opened the door and saw Michael's truck outside and slipped his vans on and left.

"What's up?" Michael smiled

"Hey man" Luke smiled back as he jumped in the truck. He buckled his seat belt "So whats the plans for tonight?"

Michael started driving "Just chill at my place, have a few beers, game out. Does that sound okay?"

Luke laughed "Sounds perfect"

Luke sat on Michael's bed and watched as he brought over a case of beer
"Help yourself"

Luke dug in the box and took one out as Michael set up his play station.

An hour of playing Fifa, they screamed at each other and laughed, Ashley was the last thing on Luke's mind. Until Michael asked

"So, how're you feeling? Like about your ex"

Luke cracked open his third beer and frowned "I don't know, I'm still a little upset.. But I feel better right now."

Michael put his controller down "Shit okay, if you're feeling better right now, let's not talk about it."

Luke giggled "Good idea"

Just then they were startled by a slam upstairs and yelling, couldn't make out what the they were yelling about though.

Michael groaned "Fuck sakes, my parents are home."

Luke's heart was beating really fast because he wasn't used to hearing people scream like that near him.
"Why are they yelling?"

Michael stood up quickly and spoke bitterly "They always fight, it's so damn annoying. That's why I'm never here, all they ever do is scream at each other and throw things. I can't stand it, sometimes I'd go up and yell and them to shut up and my dad would hit me. I try to stay out of it but it's hard to when I-I-I hear my mum- cr-cr-" He burst out tears.
