ASHTON POV

**2pm, May 11th**

I slowly blink my eyes open, looking at Luke curled up on my chest. That's when I feel a presence in the room. I look up, and see Michael just leaning in the doorway.

"Dude!" I say, trying not to wake Luke.

"What?" He asks.

"We're naked." I say.

"So?" He asks.

"So it's weird that you could be staring at my boyfriends ass." I say.

"It's nothing I've never seen before." Michael says.

"What? When have you see Luke's ass before?" I ask.

"I used to be friends with him, remember? I also used to throw parties when my parents weren't around, and I may have gotten him drunk a few times." Michael says, smiling at the memory.

"You didn't do anything right?" I ask.

"No, just strip poker." Michael says. I sense a lie.

"Just strip poker." I say. He nods, but falters when I stare at him.

"Ok, so I may have made out with him once, but we were both pretty drunk. He probably doesn't even remember." He says.

"Ew." I close my eyes.

"You asked." Michael shrugs.

"So, like, please tell me you never had a crush on Luke." I say.

"I did, for a while actually, but he's a self centered, untrustworthy, asshole who I wouldn't trust my phone with, let alone my feelings." Michael goes off.

"He isn't like that." I say.

"He is like that, he's always been like that, even before you came into the picture. Everything was always about him. What he says goes. You just feed that and make him even worse." Michael says.

"What did he do to you?" I ask.

"What did he do to me? Are you kidding me?" Michael asks me.

"Does Luke even know what it is he did to you?" I ask next.

"I can guarantee he does. He'll deny that though." Michael says. I look down at Luke, then back to Michael.

"Why should I believe a word you've said?" I ask. Michael just stares at me. I thought so.

"I hate him because during one of my parties he fucked Calum and not me." Michael states.

"I don't believe that for a second." I say.

"Yeah I don't expect you to. It's my word against his." Michael says.

"Even if it was true, couldn't you just let it go?" I ask.

"No, because he told me that same night that he was free to fuck whoever he pleased." Michael says.

"Michael, Luke isn't like that." I say.

"Yes he is, you just don't see it." Michael says.

"Luke would never do that to anyone." I say.

"How do you know that?" Michael asks me.

"Because I've been dating him for a few years now." I say.

"If I were alone with him and asked him to kiss me I bet he would." Michael says.
