Long Time No See (5SOS)

Chapter 17 - Boyfriend?

Brooke's P.O.V.

We finally made it to Michael's house. I had managed to calm myself down. I looked up to see two cars parked outside. One was Ashton's and the other was Zach's. I guess the boys are all over. Michael got out the car making his way to my side opening the back door grabbing my crutches handing them to me. He helped me up before grabbing my bag too.

We made our way to the front door. Michael opened the door and put my bag by the stair case. Putting his arms around me before walking off. I followed him into the the lounge to see all the guys spread across the room looking at me. I looked down trying to hide the fact that I was crying but I was to late.

Ashton's P.O.V.

We heard Michael's car arrive back at the house. We heard the front door open and close. Michael soon made his way into the lounge, Soon after him we saw Brooke walk in. She had blood shot eyes and wet cheeks. She looked down trying to hide the she was crying.

Calum got up and made his way to Brooke. "What's wrong?" He said pulling her into a hug and she broke down into sobs. "S- Storm and I g-got into a f-fight." She said. She pulled away from Calum sitting on the couch. "What did you guys get into a fight about." Zach asked. "When she got back from her date with Ashton. She was looking for me. But I was asleep on the couch with Mark. When I woke up I heard them talking and she sounded upset. I asked about her date and she said she would tell me as soon as I told her about what was going on between Mark and I." She said taking a breath. "We went into her room and she ask about Mark and I. I told her that he had asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. She also asked if I was lying to her and I said no. She started going off at me yelling I could do better than Mark. That because he lives under the same roof as her that I will only come visit to see Mark and I would ditch her and go out with him instead." She said hurtfuly. "I said that I couldn't believe she'd think I would do something like that to her and that's I was her best friend. I was angry so I said that she couldn't tell me who I could and who I couldn't date. I said that she was dating Ashton that she had been spending all her thine with Ashton, not her best friends she hadn't seen in 4 years. I said that in this week I have been back in Sydney the only proper alone time I had to catch up with her was to help her get ready." She said anger growing in her voice. She turn to face me and put her hand over her mouth. "Ash I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you feel bad... it's not your fault, I was just making a point to her." She apologised.

"Hey it's okay." I said giving her a hug. "So after we yelled at each other I grabbed my bag and started walking home, but I was in pain and couldn't walk any further. I didn't want to go back to Storm so I called you Mickey." She said smiling towards Michael. "So just to make sure... your dating Mark now?" Luke said sadly. I wonder what's up with him. "Yeah." She said blushing lightly. Luke stood up and made his way out of the lounge.

"I'm gonna go check in him." I said making my way out.

Luke P.O.V.

I made my way upstairs into Michael's room slamming the door shut. Why can't I be Brooke's boyfriend all I want is to keep her safe. I want t be able to call her mine. Stupid Mark  What's so special about him any way. I heard the door open and I looked to see Ashton walk in. "Hey mate what's wrong?" He said sitting next to me on the bed. I leaned forwards putting my head in my hands. "I think I'm in love with Brooke. I admitted. "Aww...But she's got a boyfriend." He said. "Yeah I know, I was down stairs when we told us. "I said annoyed. Ashton giggle and I glared at him. "I don't know what your laughing at." I said anger growing in my voice. "Its nothing." He said. "Come on let's go join the others again.

Brooke's P.O.V.

Ashton went to go check on Luke and have been up there for a while, I'm starting to grow worried. I turned to look at Michael and he made his way to the kitchen. I followed him and saw him grab some beers out of the fridge. "Aren't you still under aged to drink?" I asked. "So that doesn't stop me." He said opening it and taking a swig. "Do you think I could have one?" I asked nervously. "Sure but only one." He said passing one to me. I took a sip and we made way back to everyone else. Ashton was back. "Where's Luke?" I said taking another big sip of my drink. "Oh he just went to the toilet quick." He said taking another sip. We are all still under aged to drink but Ashton Is going to be turning 18 soon. I finished my drink starting to feel a bit dizzy.

Luke's P.O.V.

When I joined the others everyone was drinking. I went to the fridge and grabbed myself one. I looked at Brooke and she was already drunk. Her 16 year old body was not used to alcohol. She stubbed back and forth. She was giggling none stop. She was a happy drunk and a very entertaining drunk. She came into the kitchen and grabbed herself another beer drinking it quickly. "Hey slow down, you are going to get sick if you drink like that." I said taking the bottle out of her hand. "I'm fine Lukey." She said putting her hands on my chest. She grabed the drink out of my hand finishing it. "Okay Brooke I thinks that's enough." I said taking the bottle away from he putting in on the bin. I turned to look at her and she gripped her stomach. "Luke I don't feel so well." She said rushing to Michael's bathroom. I followed behind her. When I got to the bathroom she had her head in the toilet bowl getting sick. I sat besides her holding her hair out of her face rubbing her back. When the last of it was all out, she stood up going to the basin getting some water and spitting in back out. "I feel terrible Luke." She said leaning her head on my chest. I put my arm around her. "You will be fine I'm taking you to Michael's room." I said picking her up carrying her to his room.

"Do you mind getting my bag quickly so I can get changed." She said. I nodded my head and grabed her bag. I gave her the bag and gave me a smile. "Will you stay I will need your help with my shirt." She said. "O-okay." I stuttered. She put on a pair of pyjama shorts and got her shirt out. "Okay I need you to help me take it off." She said. She walked towards me and lifted her arms carefully. I grabed the hem of her shirt slowly pulling it up not to hurt her. I couldn't help but to look how beautiful She was. She had a black lace bra on. I couldn't help but to also look at the bruising. I lightly ran my fingers over the bruising making her flinch. "Sorry." I whispered. She gave me her shirt with was one of my old shirts and she lifted her arms and I slowly placed it on her.

When she was done she climbed into bed and patted the spot next to her. "Stay with me please until I fall asleep." She said. I climbed in bed and wrapped my arm around her waist. "Sing for me." She said. "Not tonight." I said placing a kiss in her forehead watching her fall asleep.
