As I went to take Ashton's hand I remembered the day he hit me, the rage in his eyes, how hard he hit me. Even now the bruise had only just faded.

"Oh my god Danny are you Okay?!"

Luke.

Luke pushed past Ashton and pulled me up into a hug.

"I am now." I pressed my face into his chest.

"Come on let's go." He pulled out of the hug but kept one arm on the small of my back. As we walked away I looked back at Ashton over my shoulder. He looked like a kid who had just dropped his ice cream after one lick. Should I forgive him?

11:32pm

We bailed on the party early. I could still hear ringing in my ears from the music.

I sat on the bench on the pier staring out at the water. Everything was calm which helped me to calm down.

"Here have my jacket you must be freezing." He took his jacket off and wrapped it around me. It buried me. I giggled as the sleeves blew in the wind.

Luke looked down and the smiles that was upon his face disappeared. "I shouldn't have left you alone in there. It's my fault that guy hassled you"

"Luke I'm fine you didn't know it was going to happen."

"But it's kinda obvious people would be drunk. I mean it's a party."

He was right.

"Anyway let's forget about it now okay?" He placed a hand on the small of my back like when we left the party.

It was cold so I nuzzled my head against him. I could hear his heart beating. Luke and I have never been alone for such a long period time before, the palms of my hands were sweaty and my stomach was knotting.

"Ashton's an idiot if he doesn't fix things between the two of you, a girl like you only comes around once in a lifetime..."

The knot in my stomach turned to butterflies. I looked up at him "you really think so?" He nodded and moved his hand to my neck.

"Would it be crazy if I was to kiss you right now?"

I bit my lip while smiling.

"Absolutely insane" I gave a wide grin as he brought his lips down to meet mine. A wave of magic came over me as his soft lips pressed against mine, my hands rest on his chest as his did on my back and behind my neck.

The kiss was long and amazing, after tracing the tip along my lips his tongue slowly slipped in adventuring my mouth. Luke is a great kisser. For a moment I forgot about the pain Ashton put me through.

A gust of wind hit our faces and we pulled apart with a shiver.

Luke's eyes slowly looked away from mine and over my shoulder. I followed where he was looking to see Ashton standing at the other end of the pier with his fists clenched and teeth gritted. He began moving quickly towards us, Luke pulled me behind him.

"Ashton man I-"

Ashtons fist hit his face with so much power you'd expect his head to fall off.

"Ashton!"

I ran in front of Luke who was holding his face in pain. Ashton just pushed me out of the way and I fell to the floor as I heard another hit, this one I saw as I turned was to the ribs. Luke managed to get a few good punched in resulting in Ashton gaining a throbbing eye.

The fight ended with Michael pulling Luke off and Calum pulling Ashton.

"I'll get him home" Michael said throwing lukes arm over his shoulder to help him walk.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and turned my attention to Ashton, who had pushed Calum off him and was marching over to me.

"What were you thinking? You're mine and nobody else's"

Before I could respond his lips had crashed against mine. The kiss was nothing like the one with Luke, this one was angry yet filled with passion. I gripped Ashton's shirt at the waist while his hands held my neck behind each of my ears.

He pulled away and pressed his forehead against mine, I lingered in the moment for a second then opened my eyes.

"You're mine okay?"
