Wait (Lashton)

5

Luke was still very confused about what almost happened with him and Ashton. He doesn't know why Ashton got all defensive, all he wanted was to talk about it so it wouldn't be awkward between them. Then he goes and makes everything worse. Luke doesn't really get Ashton sometimes, more like all the time. He's a weird person. Ashton and Michael then walked up to them both, of course leaving Luke and Ashton in an uncomfortable awkward silence. "So about the other day." Ashton started. "N-now you wanna talk about it." Luke whispered not wanting to get Ashton mad.

"Well someone has to." He rolled his eyes. "Really? I've been asking if we could talk about it for the past day. But y-you've been so bipolar you don't wanna talk about it." Luke rose his voice with an eye roll. "You really wanna call me bipolar?" Ashton narrowed his eyes as he towered over Luke, while he whimpered and stuttered trying to string together words to make a sentence. "Ashton!" Calum yelled. "What the hell are you doing?" He asked. "I-I."

"Say sorry." Calum demanded. Ashton turned to Luke frowning. His hazel harsh eyes met Luke's innocent blue ones. "I-I'm sorry." He choked out. "Now Luke, are you gonna forgive him?" Calum asked as if he was dealing with some 5 year olds. "I-I forgive you." Luke whispered lowly while rolling his eyes discreetly. "You guys can't keep fighting like this if you're gonna end up dating."

Luke turned a crimson red color while Ashton nearly choked on his spit. "We're never going to date." Ashton spoke Luke nodded agreeing with him. "Mmhm. That's what you guys say now, have you told Luke about your sec—" Michael started, but Calum cut him off. "Oh! Mike, aren't you having a party tonight. Luke you're invited if you want to go." Luke furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, but let it slide this time. Ashton sent Michael a look with a head shake.

"Please?" Calum asked using the puppy dog eyes on him knowing Luke would give in. "Fine." He spoke lowly. They all didn't have a last class which they took to their advantage so they just left.

The party was around 9, though everyone showed up at 10 or later. Calum and Michael went who knows where, Ashton went to go flirt with girls. Typical. Luke went where no many people were. He went outside by the pool. "What's a cutie like you doing here alone?" A voice spoke behind him. "I-I'm not alone. Well, I wasn't u-until my friends left me." He explained while the guy nodded. "Well my name is Cooper." He stuck out his hand for Luke to shake it,"Luke." He smiled. "Well Luke, might I just say you have to be the cutest one here." He winked making Luke blush. "T-thank you."

"What am I saying? An attractive guy like you is bound to have a girlfriend right?" Luke shook his head,"Um, I-I'm gay." He whispered. "Perfect." He grinned at him. "So, you have a boyfriend?" Luke shook his head which made Cooper grin even more. "Well, you look like my next boyfriend. Can I have your number?" He pulled out his phone for Luke to enter his number. Everything was going well, but of course Cooper had to ruin it. He placed a hand on Luke's thigh which was creeping up his thigh closer to his crotch. "Please stop." Luke whispered so lowly. As Coopers lips were going to meet Luke's they were interrupted by a voice. "Cops!" They yelled and everyone scattered. Cooper bolted leaving Luke shocked at what happened he couldn't even move.

"Luke!" A voice yelled bringing him out of his train of thought. "What are you doing?! You're gonna get caught!" Ashton yelled pulling him out of sight. "What the fuck happened?" He whispered so no one could hear him. "C-Cooper. He started acting creepy and getting too close" Ashton's face fell and he looked like he could kill someone. "Okay can you climb a wall?" Luke nodded. "Here's what we're gonna do. I'll be right back, but you're going to jump this wall, run and don't stop. I'll catch up to you." Luke nodded and Ashton ran off into the house after boosting Luke over the wall.

Luke ran. He ran just like Ashton told him to. Ashton went to go find Cooper to make sure he never did that again. When he found him he tackled him to the ground. "Oi! What the fuck mate!" He yelled. "Never touch Luke ever again." Ashton swung a punch to his face. He did it more times until he heard cops coming and he ran to find Luke.
