Chapter 10

Ashton felt his body tense. He didn't want to move. He wasn't supposed to see Luke this early. Ashton needed a break, but Luke is literally right there.

He grabbed the pasta and went over to the sauce. Ashton tried ignoring Luke, and did his thing. He almost made it through the aisle without getting Luke's attention but when Ashton went over to the pasta items, Luke went over there as well.

Ashton had forgotten that Luke would always make this pasta every weekend. The two stood next to each other not looking up. Ashton was surprised that Luke hadn't seen him yet.

That was until Luke's eyes landed on Ashton's hands, following up to his face.

"Ashton? What are you doing here?"

"I- I came here because I needed food? I don't have any at my house since I just moved in." Ashton said awkwardly.

"Oh. Um, I know it's only been a day, but it's nice to see you again. I'm happy you're okay, now." Luke said, looking like he had an urge to do something.

"I know. Luke, I promise I'm okay. Just promise me, that you'll be okay?"

"I...promise." Luke says.

Ashton nodded. A few silent seconds went by, and Luke just took the chance and took Ashton in his arms.

Ashton wrapped his arms around Luke as well and they stayed like that for a few moments.

Ashton remembered he's supposed to be shopping for food and with Michael and Bryana, not hugging his boyfriend he's been trying to avoid.

Ashton pulled away and stared at Luke for a few seconds.

"Um, I really have to go. I don't want to get caught talking-" Ashton trailed of because of Luke's expression. He turned around and saw Bryana with her arms crossed.

"Ashton, please come here. I think we're done for now."

"Sorry Ashton..." Luke whispers.

Ashton glared at Luke and muttered a 'bye' before walking toward Bryana. He walked beside Bryana in silence. They made it to the register and paid for their things. They walked out of the store and to the car.

"Care to explain?" Bryana said putting the bags in the car.

"I promise this wasn't planned or anything. I was looking for the pasta and he just appeared out of nowhere. He's not not really bad or anything, but I have been trying to avoid him. But I kind of still love him?"

"Ashton, I thought you needed to be here. And it looks like you were perfectly fine with hugging him. But I believe you, can you please just tell me exactly what happened?"

"Okay, I was in The aisle first. I was just looking for the spaghetti, to cook and then I see him walk in and I try ignoring him but we end up next to each other. He looks up then he, um, hugs me. So, of course I'm going to hug him back. I mean, I love him."

"I understand you love him, but I don't think it's a good idea to be around him right now. You're going through some big changes and I just don't want you to get hurt. Even if he's not a bad person, I still don't want you feeling guilty for leaving him, or feeling sad around him in general."

"I understand. Will I still be able to visit him? I mean, in the future?"

"Um, i don't know Ashton. What's the guy's name?" Bryana says getting in the car. Michael was just quietly and nervously watching.

"His name is Luke."

"Alright, what's he like?"

"When he's sober, he's a good boyfriend. I honestly feel very loved by him. He let me live with him, when my parents kicked me out for being gay..."

"Oh, that's very nice of him. I think I can let him visit, if you'd like. But I'd have to be there with you"

"That sounds good." Ashton beams.

"Okay, I don't think it'll happen until a few months later, though. I hope you understand. If I let you see him sooner, everyone is going to be jealous and offended."

"I understand."

- (Luke's third point of view) 😳

It had been a few days later.

Luke had texted Ashton a bunch of times, and there was still no reply from him. It didn't even say he read them.

He was sitting alone on the edge of the bed. He sighed and put his phone in his pocket. He stood up and walked in front of the desk. The ultrasound picture was still taped there.

Luke wanted to feel happy, that it was his baby. But he couldn't. This was all a mistake, it was all Luke's fault. Ashton is still very young, of course he can't take care of a baby. Luke was young himself, not knowing a thing about children.

The baby or fetus, what ever you'd like to call it, was so small. Of course it was small because Ashton's barely over a month pregnant.

Luke's baby, is carrying a baby himself.

Even though Luke was always drunk before, he still truly cared about Ashton. He drinking has lowered a lot since Ashton got pregnant. He still got drunk that time Ashton was kind of ignoring him, and when he scheduled the appointment. But he hasn't drank since then.

Luke sighed and went in the living and sat down. He turned on the tv and looked for something to watch.

He had finally found something to watch, when his phone rings. It was his dad?

He looked at it in confusion and answered it.

"Uh, hello?"

"O-Oh, Luke i just wanted to tell you something.."

"What is it?"

"Um it's about your mother."

Luke's heart sank. He had almost forgotten about his mother, having cancer, of course.

"What about her?" He asked curiously.

"She only has about a few months left to live. So, I just wanted to tell you that you would only have a few months to come visit her. I hope that you and Ashton can make it."

Ashton. Every time he heard his name, it hurt. It's only been a few days but, somehow, he's being mentioned a lot now.

"O-Oh. That's very sad to hear. U-Uh, I'm sure we'll be able to make it. Or at least I can."

"Alright, I just wanted to let you know. Bye, Luke."

"Bye."

He hung up and sat his phone down. He sighed and felt tears well up in his eyes.

Luke wasn't going to be okay.
