Kiera's Point of View

I let Ashton stay the night, he was in the guest room. I grabbed a few pillows and a blanket for him. I let him take one of the sweaters he left before tour.

"Thank you," he says smiling. I nodded to express that I accept his gratitude. I walked out of the room for him to get a comfortable rest. I sat on the middle of my bed. All I could think about was him, his sweet smile. As I thought about him, I realized I lost all my feelings for him. He does make me smile but I love him as a friend. He was a friend nothing more nothing less. I thought about Luke, his mouth pierced and his hair in a quiff. He would always smile when I'm near him. He gave me a sense of protection. I fell asleep.

Luke's Point of View

"WHERE IS HE! ITS ALMOST 1 AM!!" I screamed at Calum. What if he's hurting Kiera? I stormed out of the house hearing Calum and Michael saying to stop. I turned on the engine of my car and drives to Kiera's house. As I parked in front of Kiera's house I see Ashton's car. I knew he was here. I turned off my engine and looked under her mat for her extra key. About 3 minutes later I was able to find it. I opened her door.

Kiera's Point of View

I woke up to the sound of someone opening my front door. I grabbed the nearest object that can knock someone out and it was a bat. I grabbed it and slowly walked to Ashton's room. I woke him up by tapping him and told him to shush. He trailed behind me, we both walked slowly downstairs. I saw a tall man, wearing all black. The man was near the door about to close it. I decided to hit him in the back area. He groans and I immediately saw his face , it was Luke.

"LUKE I AM SO SORRY OH MY!" I yell and he just nods in extreme pain. Ashton helps him up and brings him to the couch. I felt so bad, I grabbed ice and bandages. He plopped down to the couch as I put ice on his back. He groans again in pain.

"Luke what are you doing here? I'm sorry I hit you if you could've given me a heads up I would've not hit you." I say and he nods. He sits up, holding his back.

"Kiera I'm okay, I saw how that you were upset earlier I was checking if you were okay. I also knew you were Ashton and I was afraid that something wrong was happening. I also wanted to know why Ashton was here." He looks at me in a soft expression. I see Ashton out if he corner on my eye looking irritated by his presence.

"Luke, I am okay I swear. Ashton didn't go home as it was late and I didn't want him to drive home at this time. You shouldn't be driving so late either!" I state, I was worried about him. He came at 1 am just to check if I'm okay. He's very sweet but I'm concerned of his safety.

"I'm calling Calum and Michael saying that you both will sleep the night here." I started calling Calum, he answered.

Ashton's Point of View

May I say, I was jealous of Luke, caring so much for my Kiera, well she isn't mine but will be. How can I object to that? Well I can't. I go to Luke and prop him up. Kiera gives me a confusion look and I hand her an expression that it's okay. I pulled Luke to the side and asked him a few things.

"Luke, do you like Kiera?" I asked him that about 5 times and he gave me look. I can't tell whether he did or not, but I'm pretty sure he does.

"Ashton, I do. I love her actually, she's so beautiful have you seen her get hurt ? Oh I'm guessing you have since you broke her heart. You didn't bother to contact her for seven months Ashton. I deserve her." He says, I look at him.

"Look Hemmings, she loved me first. She'll love me again."
"Just because she loved you first doesn't mean she'll love you again. Maybe she'll miss you, but she would not allow herself to date someone who might break up with her again ." He spats and smirks as I stayed silent.

I walked away furiously. I sat on the couch and calmed myself down. Luke was eager to sit right next to Kiera. I asked myself did Kiera like Luke? Will she love me again?

Kiera's Point of View

Ashton pulled Luke aside and I talked to Calum. Apparently they will be going on tour again next summer. Ashton then walked back to the couch looking mad. After a couple seconds later,
Luke propped beside me. His presence made me nervous. I ended the call and looked at the both of them. Ashton still mad and Luke staring at me making me blush. Ashton scoffed and said something under his breath. Ashton goes upstairs not saying another word to me or Luke.

"Well, where do you want to stay? Here in the living room, the guest room with Ashton or mine?" He thinks for a little, and said my room. He was the perfect cuddle buddy. I went upstairs with him behind me. I opened my bedroom door and entered the covers. He slides next to me, cuddling next to me. His warm embrace helped me fall asleep.

Next Day

"Good Morning beautiful," Luke says when I turned around to him. He made me smile. I got up with him groaning telling me not to get up. I get up anyways and brush my teeth. He gets up as well and goes to the downstairs bathroom. I had a bathroom in my room, a bathroom downstairs and one upstairs. I fixed my hair and put it up in a messy bun. I took off my sweatpants and left my spandex on. I decided to throw on a muscle tee. I go downstairs and see Ashton making breakfast and Luke getting out of the bathroom.

"GOOD MORNING!" I yell, both of them looking startled. I sat down on the table, Luke next to me. Ashton across from Luke and I. Ashton cooked scrambled eggs, bacon and pancakes. It was silent when we were eating, exchanging a few glances here and there.

"Do you guys want to do something today? We could watch a movie or just go out in general!" I suggested Luke nods, so does Ashton. Luke suggested that him and Ashton should go home first to freshen up , I agreed and let them go.

I took a hot shower and dressed up in a colorful adidas crop top and paired black ripped high waisted jeans with them. I decided to wear my black combat boots as well. I waited for Ashton or Luke to come pick me up.

Luke's Point of View

I hurried up getting home risking any chances of getting pulled over and having a ticket. I get home before Ashton, I ran upstairs not saying hi to either Calum or Michael. I took a shower and changed into a red sleeved baseball tee and ripped black jeans. Ashton was ready also, wearing a flannel and black jeans.

"My car or yours?" I ask him politely.
"I don't care," he implies
"My car it is," I said he trails behind me and enters the passenger seat. I started driving to Kiera's place.

"Luke, she's going to pick either one of us. So may the best man win." He says, I nod happily. I can have a chance. I can be hers. She can be mine. I knocked on Kiera's door waiting for her to answer. As she opens the door I couldn't help but hug her.
