~I LOVE THIS SO MUCH AND THE WAY LUKE LOOKS AT MICHAEL AT 1:40 IS GOALS AND PROOF THAT MUKE IS REAL BUT FOR THE BOOK'S SAKE NOTICE HOW MICHAEL AND CALUM LOOK AT EACH OTHER RIGHT AFTER LUKE STARES AT MICHAEL. AND ASHTON LOOKS LIKE THEIR PROUD FATHER AND I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH.~

{ELLIE'S P.O.V}

It was definitely the longest night of my life. They were totally legit about trick-or-treating. Ashton, Calum, and Michael got a little drunk. We ended up going back to the house after going to about three houses. The boy's were too lazy and got recognized too often. So we went back and they got drunk. 

Luke refused to drink. He said he wanted to see the boys as drunk turtles. And let me tell you that was a great choice. The boy's all ended up popping their shells in a "shell fight." I was laughing so hard I didn't notice Luke staring. Well obviously I did after a minute. 

"What're you looking at?" I asked smiling.

"You Ellie" 

"Well why?"

"You're just so. Um. Ugh I give up. Ellie you are so fucking beautiful. I don't know why but I just can't stay away. I can't get you out of my mind. I can't do anything because you're invading my thoughts and I just don't know what to do." Luke said and thankfully all the guys were in the back yard while we were in the living room.

"Luke. I don't know what to say."

"Just tell me, do you have any feelings, at all, for me? I need to know." Luke said the plead obvious in his voice.

"Luke, I don't know. Even if I do I really can't do anything about it because Ash and I are, well, ya know, dating."

"Please, Ellie, just answer the question. Please." Luke begged, tears forming in his and my eyes.

"Okay. Luke I think I may have feelings but I really don't know." I looked down at my feet. I felt like absolute shit. I was lying. I had major feelings. 

Everything was just kind of awkward silence after that. The silence wasn't totally awkward though. There was some comfort in it. The boys finally came back in, ready for bed. Luke and I laid them all down on the couches. I then went towards Ashton's room but Luke stopped me. 

"You should sleep in my room. So you're not alone, ya know?" Luke whispered not knowing if the boys were asleep or not.

"Luke, I really shouldn't. Ashton could wake up and he'd be really mad. I'm really sorry. Sleep well." I then stood on my tip toes to kiss his cheek and I rushed into Ashton's room. I felt bad because I really did want to join him but I needed to stay loyal to Ashton. It'd only been a little over three weeks that we'd been dating. I was a pretty shitty girlfriend. 

I laid down on Ashton's bed and closed my eyes. I thought about the past moments between Luke and I. The way he said my name. I eventually fell asleep. 

I woke up and stretched my arms. I decided to get up. I grabbed my phone and checked the time, 9:12 am. I had a few texts.

Lukey-poo: I'm sorry about last night, please forgive me. 
Elliephant: Of course I forgive you Luke. I'm sorry too. 
Lukey-poo: You don't have to be sorry. You didn't do anything wrong.
Elliephant: I'm just sorry. Now, is there breakfast made or anything and are the guys up?
Lukey-poo: Yes, and yes. You should come eat you twig.
Elliephant: Me? A twig? Ha, says you. 
Lukey-poo: What's that supposed to mean?
Elliephant: Nothing, I'll be out in a minute. 

I left the room and walked into the kitchen to find all four guys sitting at the table. Ashton, Calum, and Michael holding their heads in their hands. The only spot open at the table was between Ashton and Michael. It disappointed me a bit but, I just brushed it off. 

"Morning boys" I said as I said down. 

Ashton immediately laid his head on my shoulder and pulled me closer to him. He wrapped his arms around me. 

"Awe. Did you drink too much?" I asked Ashton laughing a little as I ran my hand through his hair. 

"Maybe a bit. Why'd you let me drink that much?" He whined.

"I didn't necessarily let you but I didn't stop you. I figured you were old enough and smart enough to make your own decisions when it comes to alcohol." I explained. 

All the boys looked at me. 

"Damn." Michael said.

"Michael. Stay out of it." Calum attempted to whisper to him.

"Well you can't whisper for shit Cal." Michael said. 

And while this all happened Luke watched from his seat clearly entertained.

"Seriously Ellie? You're basically calling me stupid right now." Ashton said raising his voice.

"Ashton. Are you serious? You're worse than a girl. You're taking what I said and changing it. I'm not calling you stupid but if that's what you want to take it as, whatever." I said rasing my voice to match his. At this point we were both about a foot away from each other.

"You're not even going to apologize?" Ashton basically yelled. 

"No, I'm leaving. And I'm done with this, us." I lowered my voice to almost a whisper and got up and out of my seat.

"Fine. Run away from your problems like you always do." 

_Flashback three years_

"Don't just run away from your roblems. Face them you stupid little bitch!" He yelled as I got up to leave.

"No. I'm done." I yelled back then felt a hand against my face.

Again and again until I was on the floor crying in a puddle of blood.

_Back to the present_

"Fuck off Ashton. You don't know what you're talking about" I spat through my gritted teeth.

"Oh I'm sorry, I forgot this is the part where I smack you." Ashton spat. I had told him that in trust.

I felt the tears falling but I ran out of the house, no intent to coming back. I called an Uber and went home.

I ran up to my room and locked myself in.

{ASHTON'S P.O.V.}

"What the fuck man?" Luke screamed at me. 

Michael and Calum just stared in awe. 

What the hell did I just do? 

"Ashton you really fucked up this time and none of us are going to help you. After that, you don't deserve her." Calum said finally speaking.

I got up and stomped into my room. I felt like crying and punching everything all at once. I had really screwed up. I had just lost something that meant everything to me. I had treated her like nothing. 

I saw her bag in my closet and broke down crying right then. I fell to my knees, fists balled, sobbing. Hard. 

All I knew at that moment was that I needed to get her back.
