Ashton's POV

-3 weeks later-

Luke was finally released from the hospital, all of the toxins are gone. hes back at home. and im back at mine. i told him he should probably be alone for while. this was mostly for me though. his mum said i should go home and get some rest. immediately when i got to my room i collapsed onto my bed and passed out.

my slumber wasn't exactly good nor bad. I had a dream. it was scary but, Luke seemed very peaceful in it. I was wandering through my house, and I saw blood. everywhere. but I saw Luke. he was standing. in the middle of it all. surrounded in a puddle of blood. he was smiling. a dead body was slumped in front of him.

"ashton," he said

I stared at him I guess and asked, "luke? did you do this? where did all this blood come from? are you okay?" I was scared to approach him.

"it's okay ashton. i did-"

the dream had ended there. I awoke and my breathing was very heavy. I couldn't take it. I had to see if Luke was okay. i checked the clock and it was 3 a.m. i know my mom would be asleep, and sneaking out seemed the right thing to do... i put on my glasses because i was too lazy to put in my contacts. i then put my black hoodie and black skinny jeans. i siliently opened my window and slipped through it. i thought about using the car, but if i do, i might wake up my mom. but luke was worth that risk. i hopped into the car, quietly closing the door. i couldnt avoid the loud roar of the engine as it started. i swiftly slipped out of the driveway, and made my way to lukes house.

"i hope hes okay." i said out loud.

"i hope he'll be okay when he realizes you wont be." i heard a familiar voice behind me.

i immediately parked the car on the curb. i slowly turned around. joey. 

"what are you doing here? and what do you mean im not gonna be okay?' i asked crossing my arms.

he laughed with a smirk, "if you want to save yourself and luke, you should go back home."

"and why is that?"

"well, somebody made andy leave. and by leave, i mean someone killed him. and i think it was luke who did that. so if you want to have him not go to jail, then you wont go to his house tonight. or tomorrow night, or the day, week, month, after that. you wont go to him ever again. you wont contact him face to face ever again. you will change seats in the classes you have with him, and you will sit at the lunch table of all the people who everyone makes fun of. and thats just you right now, so you will sit there and be called a faggot the entire lunch period. and remember, this is for luke. and you. its for your safety."

"you dont have evidence that luke did it. so you cant do anything.." i tried to hold in my tears just thinking that luke couldve done something like this.

"oh i have evidence. but if you leave him, i will burn it. i promise." he added a fake smile after.

i rolled my eyes and thought for a minute. maybe if i wait for a while until joey burns it, then i can see luke again. maybe i can text luke and tell joey to burn it. i would text him right now and warn him but then i remembered that joey is still in my car.

"im gonna drop you off at your house then because i dont want you in my car anymore." i said. the thoughts were still flowing through my mind.

"okay." he sat up and put his seatbelt on.

it all made sense now. the body in my dream, or nightmare, or whatever it actually is. the body was andy. all of the blood, was andy's. if all of this is true, and luke is killing them all, what do i do? get back together with a murderer? i dont think he did this. im gonna have to talk to him.

"joey. ill call you when ive made up my mind about luke. okay?" i stated, focusing on the road.

i saw him nod as we arrived to his house. he didnt even say anything as he exited the car. i just drove away, not bothering to say anything myself. i immediately went to luke's, not caring about joey at the moment.

i threw a few pebbles at his window because i saw his light on, showing he didnt get much sleep and was awake at around 4 a.m. now. i saw a shadow approach the window and the person opened it.

"ashton? what are you doing here?" lukes voice was slightly soft, but there were no cars in the driveway so i suppose his brothers took his car somewhere and his mom is gone. 

"please let me in. i need to speak to you." he nodded and ran down stairs then opened the door. he gestured for me to go into his house and i sighed and walked in.

"joey told me you murdered andy. please tell me its not true."

"what? i would never do that! the thought of people killing other people makes me cringe. i cant imagine killing someone. so the answer is no." he was looking me in the eyes, so i suppose that he was telling me the truth. maybe that dream was showing an innocent luke, being framed by joey. joey was the one who killed andy. hes trying to keep luke away from me, so he could move in on him.
