Dare (Lashton)

We were all in Luke's room, talking about random things with a Disney movie playing in the background.

"Okay so I figured I should probably tell you what happened. And why I needed to talk to Calum earlier." Michael mentioned.

Luke and I both nodded quickly, because both of us were dying to know.

"Well, basically.." He got cut off by Luke's mother knocking.

"Come in!" He called.

She opened the door and smiled.

"Do you guys want to order pizza for dinner?" She asked.

"Yeah, sure." Luke nodded.

She smiled and nodded.

"Order whatever you want, I'll bring it up whenever it comes. Your father and I are going to grandma's for the night, maybe until next Monday, because your aunt Lacey has been in an accident. Be good, alright? I don't care if you have people over, just go to school and clean up after yourself." She explained. He nodded.

"It'll just be these three. If anybody." He shrugged. She nodded.

"Love you. Have fun, boys." She told us.

"Love you too." He replied.

Luke ordered a cheese pizza, a pepperoni pizza, and some bread sticks.

As we waited, we asked Mike to explain what had happened.

"Basically, Ally is pregnant. But we got into an argument because we only fucked once, while I was drunk when we first started dating. She also admitted she fucked Jason Kile and Exavier Richardson. So it might not even be mine. But she got mad because she's saying I'm the only one who will even talk to her about it." He explained.

"That's dumb." Luke stated.

Mike and Calum nodded.

"But I told her that if she gets a DNA test when it's born and it's mine, I'll help take care of it. If not, I won't." He shrugged.

"That's good." I stated. He nodded in agreement.

The next day, I woke up super early, at five in the morning. Since I still had an hour left until we needed to get up for school, I attempted to fall back asleep.

I couldn't fall asleep twenty minutes later, so I decided to just stay awake.

I walked into the kitchen and quickly prepared a waffle mix. Deciding to add some bacon, I pulled it out with a frying pan.

As I was cooking, I felt arms wrap around my waist and a kiss on the back of my neck.

"Good morning angel." Luke greeted me.

"Good morning babe." I smiled, flipping some bacon over.

"We should just stay home today. For real. I'm sure Calum and Michael wouldn't mind." He suggested.

"Okay." I shrugged.

"Oh. Nice. Do you want help with cooking anything?" He offered.

"If you want to do waffles, you can." I responded.

"Alright." He nodded, and started to make waffles.

"Wait, are your parents coming back today?" I questioned.

"Nah, they're gonna stay for at least a couple days." He informed me, and I nodded.

"Okay."

Calum and Michael walked into the kitchen and sat at the table.

"We might wanna get ready soon, guys. It's 5:45." Michael sighed.

"We're staying home. At least, Ashton and I are. You guys can go if you want to." Luke explained.

"We're good." Calum answered.

I smiled.

"We're graduating soon." Michael reminded us after a few minutes of silence.

The four of us would be graduating a semester early.

It was a crazy thought, that in just two and a half weeks, we would all be out of high school. Out in the real world.

I had been saving up money, and almost had enough to get the three bedroom house I wanted.

"What are your plans?" Luke asked him.

"I don't know. I've only got enough for either college or a house, I can't do both yet. But my parents want me out as soon as possible." Michael shrugged.

"I'm $300 away from getting the three bedroom house I want. Maybe you could like stay with me." I chimed in.

Michael looked at Calum first, then me.

"But I want to live with Calum." He stated.

"He can come, too." I shrugged.

"Are you sure?" They asked in unison.

I nodded.

"Of course." I assured them, turning the stove off.

"Okay... Thanks, dude." Calum smiled.

"You can live with us, too, if you want." I told Luke.

"Okay. When are you moving in?"

"As soon as I get the other $300 and after we graduate." I replied.
"I've got $800 saved." Luke said.

I nodded.

"Then I guess as soon as we graduate." I smiled, and he smiled back. He pressed a kiss to my lips before placing a pile of waffles on the counter.

Okay I'm sorry this chapter sucks but like I wanted to get that out of the way and it's boring but oh well
