The Ultimate Summer: The sequel to the Ultimate Senior Year Plan

MIKE

I watched as my two friends were going through it. Ash cheated on Luke with a girl which must of stung bad. It must have hurt Luke so bad that he felt the pain on the inside. I ate my food alone with Cal. We both didn't know what to say in that moment in fact we just wanted things to go back. "Was it a bad idea to go to California" I mumbled to Cal and Cal grabbed my hand. "No" Cal just said to me. "I mean you are sicker than you were when we were back home and then Ash got sexual assaulted by his hero and now Lashton is over and there's nothing we can do." I commented to Cal and Cal continued to hold my hand and shook his head. "It's not your fault. I was already going to get more sick that was envitable." Cal laid his head on my shoulder and I heard the sobbing coming from the couch and the sobbing that was coming from Luke in the bedroom. Two broken hearts and soul that can't be fixed at all over a mistake. Once trust is gone, there is no way that can be fixed and it is a long healing process for both parties I knew that from experience but it doesn't make it hurts less. I turned toward Cal, it was now his time to be there for Luke and it was my time to be there for Ash. I walked towards the sobbing figure and I put my hand on my shoulder and what I saw was a man broken beyond words and I saw a man I never thought I would see ever again. "Will he ever love me again" Ash was sobbing while shaking his head and I forced him to sit up and I sat directly across from him. I grabbed his hands something I wouldn't do but I felt i needed to grab his hands to prevent him from digging his nails into his skin leaving marks. I knew that Ash was feeling guilt and when he does he self-harms not necessarily cutting but less form of pain that doesn't stay on his body. "You made a mistake and I don't know if Luke will forgive you but I know what i am seeing is two broken souls that can only be fix by the very same person who hurt them." I advised Ash. "Everybody makes mistake but the important part is that you learn from that mistake and move on." I told Ash and Ash just nodded his head before getting up from the couch and walking off the balcony. "Where you going" I asked him and Ash gave me a small smile. "To the beach, I need to watch the waves." Ash said to me and i nodded my head. I watched as Ash walk to the beach, it was dark but I could still see Ash's figure. The house was now silent, Cal walked downstairs and put his head on my shoulder sighing a bit. "Luke's asleep now." Cal mentioned to me and I simply nodded my head. "You know I never thought that Ash would have cheated on Luke." "People make mistakes all the time." "I wish that it didn't cause them to be sad and broken up."  "The summer is almost ending you know." Cal pointed out to me and he was right. they were at least one more month left of this summer and Cal started coughing a lot. He was coughing blood up and I forced him to sit down on the couch. Cal just gave me an uneasy smile on his face. He was trying to tell me he was okay but i was worried for Cal and his life. I hugged Cal tight in my arms and Cal's eyes started to close and i just watched him breath up and down because I didn't want to wake up and see him dead in my arms. He mattered to me maybe even more than my own family. Calum Hood was and is my soulmate and that wouldn't change when he's gone. Cal loves to talk about what's going to happen to him when he dies and It hurts me to think about him gone and me not being with him. Cal was okay with dying I think. He's basically got used to it. For a minute his chest stopped moving and I was about to call 911 when I realized he is still alive and I sighed and took a deep breathe. I kissed his forehead and he fully laid out on my chest letting me cuddle with him and Cal sighed with content and I was happy that I was making him happy. The whole Lashton situation is definitely going to be causing so many problems that you can't even believe and I just hope me and Cal aren't forced to take sides because it would be impossible to do so. I love both Luke and Ashton but I saw how destroyed they both are. I couldn't imagine Luke without Ash or even Ash without Luke. They are one item and that was very true. They formed a bond that no one else could. I strongly believed that whole heartedly. Ash was still on the beach and when came home, he had sand all over him and his body was soaking wet. I put a blanket on Cal and took Ash to my room so he could sleep. Let's just the next morning was anything but pleasant. I heard Luke throwing and breaking dishes and Cal was trying to calm down Luke and now Ash was screaming back. It was such a contrast from yesterday where they both was sobbing. "I SAID I WAS SORRY. I MADE A MISTAKE. YOU ACT LIKE YOU NEVER MADE A MISTAKE." Ash was continued to shout while dodging from the dishes being thrown at him. Cal and I both stood back watching both Luke and Ash fighting. There was nothing I could do about it in that moment.
