Why does it hurt? -- DISCONTINUED

Chapter 4

Luke's POV

  I decided to leave Calum's place after he decided to wake up and have 50 more rounds. I needed to make up with Ashton anyways so I could explain everything. Me and Lila simply decided to wait after her bra was taken off and she forgot it there because she slept over. And why it was pink? I don't know! You don't ask questions when things are getting heated.

  When I pulled into our driveway, I immediately had second thoughts. I got out of the car and tried to control my breathing when I get a text from Lila.

To: Me
From: Lila💙
LUKE JUST PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY. IM IN THE BACK SEAT LAYING ON THE FLOOR.

The hell?! I looked in the back of car on the floor. She's not there. What the hell is she talking about?! Wait. Did she mean to send that to Ashton?! I look up and there's Ashton, staring at me with a duffel bag in his hands. I storm up to him and show him the text. "WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?!" I scream. "Luke, calm do-" he starts. "WHERE THE HELL IS MY GIRLFRIEND?!" I yell. He doesn't answer. I glance over at his car before walking over to the backseats door. I pull the door open.

There she is. Lila. Sitting down and leaning against the other door. I'm speechless. "Luke, I can explain. It's not what it se-" she starts. "Then what is it? Huh? Just casually hanging out in the back of Ashton's car at 4 in the morning? And trying to text Ashton and tell him frantically that I'm in the driveway? And then there's Ashton with a fucking duffel bag?!" I ask. She looks down. "Luke..." she trails off. "Tell him, Lila" Ashton says. I look at him. "Tell me what?" I ask. I look back at Lila. I can tell that she's trying to not cry. Ashton is giving her a sympathetic look. "Tell me what?!" I ask again. Ashton sighs. "Her mom is off hooking up with some more guys and since the last guy was abusive, as you may know, she was scared to be alone with my mom and the guy when they come home. She asked me to come over and stay the night just in case the new guy tried anything. She didn't want to call you since you have a past of getting in really big fights and ending up in jail." He says. Lila is quiet. I look at her. "Babe you can tell me anything. You could've told me Ashton was coming over." I said. She looks up. I see her adjust her sleeves on her sweatshirt a bit more. "Are you cold?" I ask. She just nods. "I'm sorry" she says. "It's fine" I say. "See you at Starbucks?" I say. She smiles faintly and nods. I walk back into the house after hugging her.

Ashton's POV

I had to come up with a lie just for now. I'll let her tell him when's she's more comfortable. I walk over to the car and help her out the backseat. I give her a quick hug and throw my bag into the backseat. I open the passenger door for her and help her in. When we are almost to her house she breaks the silence. "Thanks. For covering that up" she says. I nod. "You still have to tell him though" I say. "I know" she replies. When we finally get back to her house, she falls onto her bed and goes to sleep almost immediately. I chuckle. I change into sweatpants and a tank top before climbing into bed with her. She rolls over to face me. She mumbles another "thank you" before falling back to sleep. After laying there for a while, I realize something I'd always thought since I first met her but had never been able to know what to call it. But now I know. And I'm scared of it.

I love Lila.
