*Luke's POV*
What did he just say? Did he just say he has a crush on me? No he couldn't have. Did he? I have no idea my mind is to clouded with feelings and thoughts. Ashton, my crush just said he likes me. OMG! This can't be happening to me. Wow. I never, in a million years would think that Ashton likes me. I am down his driveway by now but I need to talk to him. I pace back and forth thinking about what to say. I walk back up ti the door and knock sheepishly on the door.
Ashton opens the door and looks startled to see me. He says nothing and moves aside for me to come in.
"Hey look Luke i am so sor-" He starts but i cut him off.
"Ashton, stop" I say but he then cuts me off.
"No Luke. I know that you don't, would never love me back as much as i love you. Besides you aren't even gay!" He smiles, not a real smile, and throws his hands up "I've ruined everything. The chances of us being friend and you probably think that I'm disgusting like everyone else at school." He falls down on the couch and closes his eyes.
"No Ash. That is not at all what i think of you. I think you are beautiful and amazing and so cute." I say sitting on the couch that he is laying on.
He opens his eyes and stares at me looking confused.
"What?" He asks.
"Ashton Irwin, I love you" I say smiling wide.
"Are you serious?" He asks his voice raising.
" I am 100% serious Ash" I say.
He says nothing in return and just stares at me. He seems frozen until my phone buzzes signalling that I have a call. I pick up my phone and hold up my finger to Ashton. I walk into the kitchen and answer it.
"Hello" I say
"Where the hell are you?" I hear a familiar voice, my mum say. I look at the clock sitting on the counter and see that it's only 7:30. Why is my mum asking me where I am, it's still really early.
"At Michael's house" I lie.
"Your lying. I called his house before I called you, you little liar." She shouts near the end.
"Fine mum I'm at Ashton's house" I say.
"I knew it. You're with your boyfriend aren't you?" She says. I can hear her laughing.
"No mum he's not my damn boyfriend!" I nearly shout but I remember where I am and who's here. "What do you want?" I ask.
"Its 10 o'clock you idiot" She says getting annoyed.
"Mum it's only 7:30"
"No it's not. It's 10"
"Mum I am standing in front of a clock. It's 7:30"
"For the last damn time Luke it's 10 o'clock and you should be home" She says anger bubbling up in her voice
"Fine whatever. I'm going home now" I say hanging up. She is definitely drunk. This is going to be a terrible night, i can tell. I walk back into the living room and see Ashton waiting on the couch now sitting up.
"Hey sorry Ash my mum is really mad at me for some reason. I gotta go." I say feeling bad that i have to leave him.
"Yea thats cool. Text me ok" He says standing up and walking towards me.
"Count on it" I reply and he comes over to hug me. In his embrace i feel safe and warm. He is shorter then me but that doesn't matter. He lets go and the warmth is instantly gone. I head out the door and start to walk home. But this time it is starting to get dark.
I finally arrive at home and open the door quickly and shut it. I see my mum sitting on the couch and half a dozen beer bottles sitting around her.
"Mum what the hell? Did you drink all this? Where's dad? What happened" I ask feeling panicked. She only looks up at me, an angry look on her face. She could snap at any moment and I know that.
"First of all Lucas don't you dare question a single thing I do." She gets up from the couch "Second yes, I did drink all of this and about your father I have no idea where he is but i don't really have time to find out because I'm dealing with the disgrace of a son I call you"
That last sentence hits me like a ton of bricks. I know shes drunk but she would say all of these things even if the was sober.
"Mom look" I say firmly "I know that you have been drinking and i know that you are drunk, I think you need some help with the drinking" I know she doesn't want to hear this and she won't get help but i need to tell her. I tell her all the time but she never takes my advice. She hates me drunk or sober. She makes her way towards me and looks me straight in the eye. She is a tall woman and matches my height easily.
"I don't need any form of help. All I need is for you to be out of my life. You are a waste of space and you mean nothing" She spits. I feel like I did earlier today with my encounter with Daniel, small and useless. None the less i held my ground and kept the eye contact. After about a minute of staring she said
"Get out of my face Luke i don't have time for your shit"
"No" I say firmly. She did something not out of the ordinary but she caught me off guard. She raises her hand and smacked me hard across the face. I wince as my cheek begins to turn red. I want so badly to hold my face and run upstairs but i know that the only way to get anything through her thick skull will be to act like it doesn't hurt as much as it does.
She raises her hand again and tries to hit me but i quickly move out of the way and to her left side. She looks astonished that i can do such a thing but you pick it up after years of being bullied and abused. I move away from her. She glares at me with all the anger and frustration that she can muster up.
"Mom you need to get help. We can't live like this forever you know that" I say.
"I can do whatever the hell i want. Don't you ever think differently" She says back.
"Fine mum do whatever you want , why should i care" I say and start towards the stairs to my room "I'm going to bed"
"Yea run away like the little baby you are" She says. I can't take this shit anymore I turn around and glare at her again.
"Don't call me that, ever again" I say and she is surprised at my level of confidence. I didn't think that i could ever talk to her like that. With that I spin on my heal and walk up the stairs leaving my mum standing speechless.
