Best Friend's Boyfriend
Chapter 5
"Luke's an annoying brat."
"Ashton. Luke's actually the playful penguin who always trips."
"He always scowls when he sees us talking."
"Maybe he think's we're talking about him?" Michael suggests.
"Oh my god!" It striked me. "He's jealous! Luke Hemmo is jealous of me because I spend so much time with you!"
Mikey blushes. "Uh, it's Hemmings."
"Aww, if he wasn't a dick you guys would have been the current OTP of tumblr."
"Ash! Plus aren't we the cutest couple ever?" He agrees.
My smirk turns into a sad smile. "Not the best ever. To me, anyway."
"I'm sorry, I wasn't thinki-"
"It's okay, meekle."
After that we sit in silence for a while.
"Do you still love her?" The question comes so abruptly and unexpected, I am stunned for a moment.
"Always," I reply softly, showing him the tally mark on my wrist.
"Huh?"
"Did I never tell you about the tattoo?" I say, confused.
"No..." He stretches the word. "Why?"
"See that first line? That's you. One of the most important people in my life. The second Lauren and the third Harry. I still need to find my number 4. And you see the bold, pretty number five, slashing across the others? That's my most loved person. Lily."
"Ash," Mikey's eyes brim with tears. "Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"I thought I did."
Michael hugs me. "That means so much to me. That I'm more important than family. Excluding Lily."
"Mikey, you'll always be more important. You're my best friend from the womb. We're not friends." I say solemly.
"W-we're not?" He asks, confused.
"No. We're family."

My phone rings. I lazily pick it up.
"Hi, Ash."
"Hey, Casp." I respond, yawning.
"Wanna go to the pizzeria?"
"Right now?"
"Yup. I'm hungry and Joe's out with Zöe."
"Bro, I'm not turning down pizza, calm down."
"Ok. Wanna get drunk, too?"
