The Pie Club (A 5SOS fanfic)

Fear, Love, Anger, and Confusion.

----------------------Ashton----------------------------------

"Guys, we have to do something. What that girl did to her was wrong and uncalled for." I say

"Yeah, you're right." Calum says

"Uh, I totally agree, and everything, but where's Luke?" Michael asks

"Uh, he probably told his mom the he was sick or something, then climbed over to Elaina's room." I answer.

"Do you guys think he, uh...?" Calum says

"Likes her?" I ask.

"Definitely." Michael finishes.

"Hmm." I hum

"So, what's our plan?" Calum asks

"Well, we all know that El is our planner." I say, and we did, even though we haven't known her for more than three weeks, we could see that she was deadly clever.

"Ash, we're not stupid. We can figure something out if we try." Michael says, poking me, for some weird reason.

"I know, but don't you think she'd wanna be involved?" I say

Then the bus stops at the school.

When we walk in the school, everyone stares. They whisper to each other.

A younger kid walks up to us.

"Did you see it?" He asks

"See what?" Calum asks, as an answer.

"That chick getting beat up."

Then the memories come back, making me shiver. That was possibly the worst thing I've ever seen in my life, and it fills me with anger. It's weird how protective I've become over her. She's sort of like my sister, and I think I speak for the others, too.

"That 'chick' has a name, you know." I say, hotly.

"Ashton, calm down, he doesn't know." Calum says.

"I'm sorry, I just wanna know how bad it was. It sounds like an awful thing." The kid quivers.

"It was." I say, "Do you have a little sister, or something?"

"Yes, she's ten."

"Imagine that sister getting put in the hospital." I say

"Oh. Oh gosh. That's awful." He says, walking away.

Yeah. I know kid.

"If you think of her as a sister, why did you call her eyes beautiful?" My mind says to me.

"Shut up." I say, accidentally out loud.

I don't like Elaina like that, I barely know her.

She's absolutely gorgeous, but I don't like her.

"Why did you say that?" Calum asks

"Just thinking aloud."

----------------------------------------------------------------

I sit on my bed, playing Okami.

My everything hurts. I'm glad that I'm out of the hospital though.

In complete honesty, I am terrified. What if she comes back? What if she knows where I live? What if she tries again when I come back to school?

My thoughts are interrupted by a knock on my window.

"No, he didn't!" I laugh

He did, obviously, because a smiling Luke is outside my window.

I open the window and laugh.

"What are you doing?" I say

"Hanging out with you, what does it look like?" He says, laughing also.

"How'd you get out of school?" I ask

"Told my mom that I was sick." He says

"Ah,"

He sits on my bed, next to me, his mood turning serious.

"How are you doing, Elaina?" Luke asks, looking into my eyes.

"I'm," fine, but no, that'd be a lie."scared."

I really don't want to lie to Luke, or any of the boys. I don't want to be pitied, though, but something about these guys make me want to tell them anyway.

"I won't let her touch you. Even if I didn't know you, I still wouldn't let anybody hurt you. It was wrong." Luke says

"Thanks." I say

"What did she say to you?" He asks

Again, I want to tell the truth, but I have to lie about this. He can't know it was because of him.

---------------------------Luke--------------------------------

"She didn't say anything." Elaina says.

I know she's lying. I heard the attacker say things. Ashton heard it better than me, though. I guess I'll ask him later.

"Are you sure?" I ask, hoping she'll tell the truth.

"Yes." She says, lying smoothly.

Why? Why won't she tell me?

----------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------Ashton------------------------------

Hours later, I am on the bus.

After three weeks of Elaina sitting with me, being alone feels weird, even though I prefer it.

All of us have empty seats. Michael always sits alone, Elaina isn't here, and Calum sits with Luke, who also isn't here.

What if he kisses her? What if she has feelings for him, since he stayed?

I have two thoughts in answer to that question my subconscious came up with in this order.

1: You stayed with her during the attack.

2: Why do you care, anyway?

Ugh, why?

It must be because I don't want her to date, because I'm brotherly, right?

----------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------Luke---------------------------------

I really want to kiss her. I wonder if she knows how whipped I am.

It's weird, since I've only known her for a couple of weeks.

Why did you think I came up to her that day?

When I saw her, I thought she was absolutely beautiful. I first saw her moving in.

Now this might sound stalkerish, but I watched from my porch. I tried not to, but my eyes followed her.

She looked really upset to be here. I hope that's changed.

I wonder if the other boys feel this way for her. I don't think so, though.

So I was VERY happy when that morning she woke up in my arms, even though I didn't witness it.
