Little anxiety

Chapter 41 - Excuses

Hey so sorry for not updating for a while, and leaving you on that cliff hanger. Anyway at the top is Ashton

Holly's POV

I can't believe he cheated on me. Wait... it's not cheating cause we aren't dating but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. The swing gently rocked as I pushed myself of the ground, I had managed to find myself here in some park after I walked in on Ashton and Courtney fucking and I have been there since.

"Hey" I familiar voice spoke up from behind me, causing me to jump up from the swing and trip on the slide.

"Luke you scared me!" I shouted. Taking his hand I got to my feet and stared at Luke, tilting my head slightly.

"Do you like me?" He asked, leaning in closure.

"What no, where would you get that from" I laughed wiping tears from my eyes.

"You said it yourself, at the photo shoot" He stated caution clearly written on his face.

"Ohhh... so you heard all of the shit we were talking" I finally realized what he meant and all I could say was Oops they heard that.

"yeah and as you can see it fucked us all up, especially Ashton!" he said anger creeping into his raised voice. "I thought she liked me I thought we had something" He mumbled after woulds, sadness consuming his face.

I couldn't help it I started laughing at the situation, laughing at the fucked up situation.

"We were all pretending to be each other, mocking one another about how much we like our other's" I whispered, realization hitting me. It was all because I said that, Ashton fucked Courtney because he thought I liked Luke."Your cute and all but not as cute, hot, sexy, hilarious and amazing as Ashton, so sorry" I said, trying to lighten the depressing mood.

"So you aren't actually head over heals for me and Abby isn't in love with Michael?" He asked relief washing over him.

"No, Abby is still yours, as long as your mom doesn't find out but Ashton doesn't seem to be mine does he" I whispered the last part sadly.

Ashton's POV

I watched as Holly ran out of the party, a silent tear slipping form the corner of her eye. What had I done and what can I do to make up for it? That's if I can make up for it. I secretly slid out of the back door and quietly followed Holly as she receded in the distance.

It was late and I couldn't leave her alone in this park so I stayed hidden and watched as she sad silently on the swing.

"Hey" a silhouette said as it walked towards Holly. I trembled in anger ready to jump out and save Holly, like the night in shining armor I wanted to be to her.

"Luke you scared me!" Holly said taking the silhouettes hand. What the Fuck is Luke doing here, does he like her is her going to steal her from me. I mean he was the one she liked.

"Do you like me?" He asked, cutting right to the chase and getting closure and closure to Holly by the second. I don't like this.

"What no, where would you get that from" She laughed nervously, before silencing and just watching Luke. Was there a chance she didn't like him.

"You said it yourself, at the photo shoot" He stated ignoring her nervous laughter.

"Ohhh... so you heard all of the shit we were talking" She said and that's when I couldn't take it anymore. It was true she liked him and I could hear my heart shatter all over again. Turning and running from the tall bush I hid behind, I made it back to the pool party just before Michael and Calum were about to leave with Shay and Abby.

"Wait I'm coming with you" I stated before jumping in the car, not saying another word.

I was going to have the worst hangover tomorrow.
