*Luke's POV*

"Michael why do you have a set of drums?" I ask.

"I actually have no idea. An old dream I guess" He replies.

"Well then" I say.

"Anyways," Michael says "I guess since we've practicing for 2 hours we should stop. I need a break"

"Sounds good to me" Ashton and Calum say in unison.

"Video games?" I question.

"And pizza" Michael replies. We all laugh. I order pizza while the boys start a round of Fifa.

After 2 more hours of pure nothing and before we know it it's 7 o'clock. I haven't been home in almost 2 days. I'm in a shit load of trouble.

"Guys I need to go home. I haven't been home in forever. Bye" I say and walk out the door. My collectiveness flys out the window and I run home as fast as I can. I stop at the bottom of the driveway and take in a deep breath. I cool down and walk up the driveway. I open the door scared of what hides on the other side but continued on anyways.

I look around and see my mother sitting on the couch. I can't read her expression. Her face is as hard as a rock. I try and walk upstairs without even making eye contact with her.

I'm halfway to the stairs when my mother starts to talk to me.

"Where have you been?" She doesn't turn her head nor is there any emotion in her voice.

"I was at Ashton's house" I say sheepishly.

"Oh your boyfriend" She smirks to herself. I think for a second and do something completely rash.

"You know what mom" I build confidence "He is my boyfriend and there is nothing wrong with that"

She pauses for a long time.

"You will not speak of him. You will not bring him here. I don't want any mention of him. You are lucky that I'm still letting you live under this roof. If you so much as say his name i will kick you out in a second. Understand?"

"Yes, I do" I resist the temptation to smile.

"Now come over here I have to tell you something" I walk over and sit on the chair beside our couch.

"Your father left and he's not coming back. Suck it up I don't want to hear anything about it" She says sternly. Any happiness in her voice has washed away and she is as hard as rock again.

"Oh" Is all I can manage. I can't believe my dad just walked out on us. Was it my fault? Did he leave because if me? If not me than why did he leave? These questions cloud my thoughts as I stare into space.

"Mum" I whisper "Why did he leave?" I don't know why I asked this question because I could already tell that it was a mistake.

"I said don't bring it up again" She growled "Go upstairs and get out of my face, your really pissing me off" Before she had a chance to throw any other nasty comments my way I rushed upstairs. I'm more tired than usual so I decide to go to sleep.

After several attempts at falling asleep I give up. I know sleep will not be an option tonight. Thoughts about my dad are racing through my mind. I want to know why he left. I'm pretty sure it's my fault seeing as I'm worthless and basically a waste of space. I walk downstairs to the kitchen and grab a glass of water and hop up on the counter. I stay down there for an hour trying to focus in the tv. I look up at the clock and see that it's now 5 am. I have absolutely no idea what to do. I turn off the tv and let the invasive thoughts tear apart my mind again.

-

I'm totally done with school. I have absolutely no motivation to do anything anymore. My grades are dropping, I'm tired all the time and I hardly talk to anyone besides my bandmates anymore. My mum is beating me more often than she used to and I still think my dad left because of me. I don't know what it is I'm feeling but I know it's shitty. I didn't go to school today and just made up the excuse that I was sick. I've been in bed all day sleeping. I needed a day to clear my head.

It's around 3:30 and I decide that I should text Ashton. I pull my phone off my bedside table and text Ashton.

"Hey boo I'm sorry I wasn't at school I was sick. I miss you. We should hang out xox"

He texted back in a few seconds.

"I'm so glad your alright!!! I missed you so much. Come over to my house for 4? xoxo"

"Absolutely. I will be there at 4 :)"

I smile at my phone. Ashton will help me get through this rough patch, I just know it. So will Calum and Michael. I decide that at some point or another I will need to get dressed so I go put on a plaid shirt and black skinny jeans and some vans. I head out the door not caring if I'm going to be early.

I arrive at Ashton's house at 4:50 only 10 minutes early. I don't think he'll mind. I knock ok the door.

"It's open!" I hear from the other side. I walk in and see Ashton sitting on the couch playing a game on his phone. I sit down beside him without a word. I bury my face in the crook of his neck. He puts his phone down and looks at me.

"Hey Lukey. Whats wrong? You look upset" He asks in a caring voice.

"I don't know whats wrong. I'm just really sad" I wrap my arm around his middle.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not right now" I say "Can we just cuddle for a bit?"

"Sure" He says smiling "Come upstairs" I get up and we both walk upstairs. Like on the couch he sits down first and I rest my head in his neck. This time our feet are entangled.

*Ashton's POV*

"Hey Lukey whats wrong?" I ask "You look upset.

"I don't know whats wrong. I'm just really sad" He says wrapping his arm around my middle.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I really want to help, he looks so sad. I hate seeing people like this.

"Not right now. Can we just cuddle for a bit?" He asks in a small voice.

"Sure, come upstairs" I lead him upstairs and we lay on my bed. Feet entangled and his head in my neck. I love cuddling, especially with Luke. He's great at cuddling. We lay there for what i think is a couple of hours not talking or moving. I hope he's okay is that last thing I think before I drift into sleep.
