Ashton's POV

It had been a month since I asked Luke to be my boyfriend. It was now a Monday morning and I was lying in bed, wrapped in Luke's arms.

We saw each other every weekend and Luke would sometimes stop in past the book shop after school if I was working.

We took turns of sleeping at each other's apartments but it would normally be mine that we stayed at.
Luke wouldn't usually stay over on a Sunday night since he had school the next day but we had a couple of beers last night and he ended up crashing at mine.

Luke would always wake up before me due to his insomnia and I knew he could tell that I'd just woken up.

"Morning Ash" Luke's raspy voice said from behind me as he squeezed me tight.

Suddenly a sharp pain shoot through my abdominal area and up my back.

"Ah Luke!" I cried out in pain and Luke immediately released his grip.

I now felt extremely nauseous and sick and I ran through to the bathroom, vomiting in the toilet.

I felt a hand rubbing my back as I leaned over the toilet. I looked round to see Luke, worry etching his face. He disappears for a minute before coming back through with a glass of water in his hand. I gulped the water down to get rid of the horrible taste in my mouth before brushing my teeth.

"Shit" Luke said from through in my room.

"What's wrong?" I called through to him, my voice horse.

"I have school in half an hour!" He said panicking.

"Luke relax, I'll drive you" I told him and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks" he said, his blue eyes meeting mine.

"Are you okay?" He asked me, concern lacing his voice.

"Yeh I'm fine" I said, even though i knew I wasn't.

"Now hurry up and go get ready or we'll be late" I told him and he rushed through to my room.

Once Luke had gotten ready and I had freshened up we got in my car and headed for Luke's school. Luke looked extremely cute today. He was wearing a blue checkered flannel over a black blink-182 t-shirt and he had his usual ripped skinny jeans on. He sat biting his lip ring as he looked out the window, humming quietly along to the radio.

I pulled up in front of the school and stopped the car.

"Promise me you'll go to the doctors right now" Luke said speaking up.

"Luke I don't..."

"Promise me" he said almost pleading.

"Okay I promise, although it's probably just indigestion" I told him. He was probably right though, I definitely needed to see a doctor. I hadn't been eating properly for over a month and I had recently been getting pains in my abdomen.

He leaned in and brushed his lips against mine, then began kissing me soft and tenderly. I felt bliss as my lips moved with his and his hand rubbed circles on my thigh.

I suddenly heard  laughing and cheering outside the car and Luke pulled away from me. A group of large boys sneered and made comments as Luke got out the car and my blood began to boil. I was used to that kind of thing but Luke wasn't and I was scared he would take it personally.
