Beside you 5sos (boyxboy) (Malum, Lashton)

Chapter 6: Closer and Closer

***Hey imaginary readers.  Just thought I would add a pic of Michael's hair. I don't know if the last update was yesterday or the day before that because my internet kept cutting out, so just decided to update today. I have so many chapters that need to go into editing. I have up tell 9 done and some of 10. Now that i'm publishing this one, I only have one edited. Ugh I'm just so bad at it. Even though I go through and edit it still sounds terrible and there are still a whole bunch of stuff wrong. Thanks for letting me rant to you imaginary readers lol. Please don't hate me.***

I am walking back to my dorm from the library when I see the blond haired boy from earlier. Luke, I think. I saw him in my English class earlier but I was too scared to go up and talk to him. He is coming out of his dorm. I wave hello and he waves back and as he locks the door behind him. I decide to go over to talk to him. "Where are you going?" I ask him trying not to come off as a stalker.

He shrugs and says quietly. "The cafe."

"Oh, that is where I'm going to. Do you mind if I walk with you?" I ask him cheerfully. He nods his head slightly so I tell him to stay there while I put my stuff away. I hurriedly walked over to my door unlocking it and stepping inside. As soon as my bag hits the bed I am out the door again. Luke is standing exactly where I left him and I lock the door as fast as I can. I walk over to the blond and place a hand on his shoulder. "Let's go," I say with a smile while we start walking down the hallway toward the lift.

My eyes widen as I look at the hand on my shoulder. "Omg, he is touching you. What are you going to do? This beautiful boy is touching your shoulder and you're just standing here." I quickly rid my head of the thoughts as we walk into the lift. "Don't pass out. Don't pass out. Don't pass out." I repeat over and over to myself in my head.

I turn my head to see Ashton giving me a strange look. I smile slightly but it quickly turns into a frown when the pressure on my shoulder leaves. I look at the spot where his hand used to be and glance up at him with a worried look. Did I do something wrong?

"So why are you going to the Cafe?" He asks me.

I shrug. "I guess I just wanted to check it out." Ashton looks at me and nods. "What about you?" I ask him.

"I heard the food it is great." He tells me with a smile. Food. I frown slightly at the thought.

Just as I am about say something the door to the lift opens revealing about four or five people. We get out and make our way to the cafe. Walking in awkward silence tell I decide to say something. "So was it just me or was that English class a load of gibberish?" I ask trying to sound cool, but failing miserably. "Good going Luke. He is probably going to take off running in the opposite direction hearing how lame you sound." I think to myself.

"Yeah. It made no sense what so ever." He agrees. Wow. I was not expecting that. We arrive at the cafe and take a seat at the back of the store. He orders a coffee and ham and cheese sandwich while I order nothing. "Why didn't you order anything?" He asks me curiously.

I shrug my shoulders before replying quietly. "I'm just not hungry I guess." We get to talking about things like music and hobbies. I found out that we both like Green Day, Blink 182, and Good Charlotte. We have so much in common and l had so much fun talking to him that I didn't even realize that the sun went down. The cafe starts closing and we are forced to leave the place.

We walk back to our dorm rooms and say our goodbyes. I close the door slowly behind me and slide into my bed not even bothering to change as the day's events have worn me out.

I pace the room chewing on my thumb nail. I haven't seen Ash all day. I am so worried. Where could he be? Why wouldn't he call? Suddenly the door opens and Ash comes in with the biggest smile that quickly drops when he sees my expression.

"What is wrong Mikey?" He asks rushing over to me.

"I came home, and you weren't there, and I waited, and waited. I had no idea where you were Ashy. I thought something bad happened." I said as I start to cry. Ashton comes over and wraps his arms around me.

"It's okay Mikey." He tells me as he rubs my back gently. "It's okay. I am fine."

***Another thing is if you see the word elevator, tell me please lol. I am American so I am having a bit of trouble with that. I was writing a chapter and got threw a few paragraphs before I realized that I was using the word elevator instead of lift. Anyways, I think I have got all of them but if you see it in any of my chapter please tell me. Also don't you think Luke talking to himself is cute. I don't know about you imaginary readers but that is one of my favorite things about Luke in this story. Sorry for the continual rants. Please don't hate me.***
