Ashton's P.O.V

We entered the big gates, and walked a couple of minutes to get to my driveway, only to be greeted with a multiple of black fancy cars.

"I'm not dressed for this" Luke said clearly scared. I looked at him up and down, he really wasn't.

"That's okay. I'm not either" I said closing my eyes a bit, while staring at the house. "How about we sneak in?"

"Sneak in? Into your house?" He said with a dumb look on his face.

"Do you want to walk in, greeted by disgusted looks and loud whispers?"

He shrugged, and nodded afterwards. I started walking around the cars while crouching at the same time.

I hope Luke was doing the same because I am not going to risk looking at him.

We got past the cars, and now we were on one side of the house, specifically beneath windows, trying hard not to get caught.

"Okay. There are people in the backyard, so we can't go through there. But my sisters room is up here, she'll help us for sure"

"How old is she?"

"She's a twenty year old. I'll tell you more about her when were alone"

"CARLY!" I whisper-shouted. Nothing.

"C'mon. Help me" I said gathering pebbles. I threw one. And Luke threw one after me. We kept completing the action until she answered on the fifteenth pebble.

"Ashton?! Mum and Dad are mad!"

"Exactly! Help us up!" I whisper-yelled getting impatient. She was literally acting like a twelve year old.

"Why don't you just climb the tree idiot"

"Oh.." I said, Luke snickered behind me, I glared making him stop.

I climbed onto the tree, and stepped onto the ledge around the house, I walked a little trying to get closer to her window, I grabbed onto the edge of her window, and jumped in, sighing. I hate sneaking in.

"Where the hell have you been?" She almost yelled.

"With Luke" I said nodding my head towards the window. We both looked outside to see him climbing the tree.

"With Luke? He's a bad boy, I don't think you've exactly heard of the band he plays in. He's trouble Ashton. Just look at the way he's dressing, like an idiot. And you're hanging out with him? He's a bad influence" She whisper-yelled at me.

"And I thought I loved you the most" I said rolling my eyes. "Don't tell me what to do... Carly. I only like you because- you know why I like you. And now you're telling me who I can and can't hang with? Do you need toilet paper, because all I'm hearing that's coming from your mouth is shit"

"Fuck you Ashton. I swear we should have never accepted you into our home"

I heard a thud, and looked towards the window, Luke was there. I walked out of the room raging and made it down the hall all the way to my own room.

I can't believe she just said that.

"Hey, are you okay?" Luke asked shutting the door behind him. I sat on my wheelie chair, and put my hand under my chin.

"Yeah everything's okay. Nothing to worry about" I smiled. I don't fake smiles, I truly don't care what she has to say, her opinion doesn't matter to me. She's an adult and she needs to realize her mistakes.

She's only jealous that she didn't have cool friends when she was my age. I know that just by looking at her yearbook pictures. I'm not a douche I swear, Carly just gets on my nerves more than anything.

"What does she mean by I knew we should have never accepted you into our home?"

"Don't worry about it. She keeps trying to convince me that I'm adopted" I chuckled even though it was true.

He nodded as though he could tell that I was lying. I shrugged it off.

Luke got up and walked around my room.

"This is an interesting room" He said as he looked at all of my things.

"You play guitar?" He asked pretty shocked.

"Back in the days I did" I laughed.

"C'mon, I don't think you've lost your charm"

"I think I did"

"Give it a try! Please! For me?" He looked so cute, his cheeks were puffed up, and his lips pouted, his blue eyes staring at me widely. And damn that lip piercing. Can I just kiss you?

"Okay"

Only because I can't stand your adorableness

I made the sure it was tuned right, and I played with the strings for a bit until I knew I was ready to play.

"I think you'll notice when things become different
The good vibes in our lives won't feel so consistent
And less becomes more cause the weight is too heavy
I swim in the water that's breaking your levy"

I looked up at look (Its supposed to be Luke but autocorrect decided to be a dick so yeah im keeping it bc it reminds me of ash cx) to see he had a look filled with shock and amusement, I looked down to hide my blush, and I closed my eyes focusing on the lyrics and guitar.

"The way that you left me is alright, it's alright
If I argue the point then we yell and we fight
And I won't be home for the rest of the night
You might hate my words but you know that I'm right
You know that I'm right"

"This is your life there's no way to run from it
The doubt in your brain or the pain in your stomach
I only have but one complaint at the moment:
Don't paint me black when I used to be golden"

"The way that you left me is alright it's alright
If I argue the point then we yell and we fight
And I won't be home for the rest of the night
You might hate my words but you know that I'm right
You know that I'm right
Don't paint me black when I used to be golden"

I opened my eyes again, to see Luke just sitting there. Shocked, or disgusted. I hope it was shock.

"Oh my god. You are so great. Wow. Beautiful. Much talent"

"Really? I knew I was good but..." Not that good

"What if you open up for our band? Were going to have a tour in America soon. And Europe" He smiled.

"I don't know, I mean, photography is my thing"

"But what about singing? You'll probably get further in life by your vocals"

I shrugged.

"Tell you what, what if you are the opening act for my band, and our photographer? Deal?"

"Deal"

Holy fucking shit.
