Terrible Things

{chapter 2}

ASHTON'S POV

I woke up to the sound of my sister squealing. She was on the phone to most likely one of her friends. She finally hung up the phone and fell on top of me. "Casey is having a party, you're invited too."

"I'm good," I said while she frowned.

"Oh yeah and Michael's coming over in a bit," Luckily she wasn't really close with Luke.

Belle went up to her room and the door bell rung. "BELLE!" I yelled up to her.

No reply. I get up slowly and yell at her as I get to the door and open it to see Michael standing there.

"Oh hi," I said. "BELLE!"

"I'M COMING! I'M COMING!" She yelled back down to me. Michael tuned around waved to his driver to come over, it was Luke. Oh no. No he has in me in my baggy pants and sweat shirt. Belle came down and I let Michael went to close the door then Michael said, "Oh Ash, Luke's still coming."

I held the door open for Luke who awkwardly said, "Hi." to me.

I closed the door and went into the kitchen. I poured myself a cup of coke. I wondered if mum had left us any money, she didn't leave a note.

I walk over to the lounge room where Belle, Michael and Luke were sitting.

"Hey, Belle?" I asked leaning against the door frame.

"Did mum leave anything for us? Like I don't know, a note or some money?"

"Um, I don't know," She said. "Text her maybe?"

"I've got no credit."

"Fine, don't read anything else!" She said throwing me her phone, me catching it.

I left the room and went up to my room. I fell onto the bed and pulled on my beanie. I texted mum and went to get down to the kitchen to get some food for my grumbling stomach. As I walk out Luke was standing there.

"Oh, hey," He said blushing.

"Um, hi."

"Do you know where the bathroom is?" He asked.

"Yeah I do," I laughed. "It's just the next door down."

"You have a cool music taste," he said smiling.

I looked back into my room relieving all my posters. "Oh, yeah."

We laughed and then we walked off, him to the bathroom, me to the kitchen downstairs. I picked up the cup of coke that I had left and went on my phone. I put some bread in the toaster and made some vegemite toast.

They all came out to the kitchen as I washed up my plate. My phone started ringing which meant my ring tone, Besitos, Pierce the Veil started to blare out.

"Oh my god, change your ringtone for once!" She said. "He's had it like that ever since the song came out."

I dried my hand and picked up the phone, "Shut up it's my favourite!"

It was mum, she had left moment under the fruit bowl but told me not to tell Belle, because she can be irresponsible with large amounts of money. I came back and sat at the other side of the bench to them.

"Are you cooking dinner?" Belle asked me.

"I don't know," I said.

"Well I'm hungry and I can't cook, sooo."

I sighed. "Okay then, are you guys staying?" I asked Luke and Michael. They nodded.

I made spaghetti bolognese. Which was the only thing I could really cook. I didn't know why Luke was here, Michael and Belle were really close friends, they could tell each other anything and everything.
