The only reason (luke hemmings fanfic)(trigger warning)

Chapter 6

A/N

i made a bet with my friend that i could learn the fast part of rap god by eminem by monday and it's saturday and its really difficult ahhh help. i know all of the words but i can't say them fast enough. the eternal struggle...

************************

Brooklyns POV

"Blue" luke says after thinking for a minute.

"yeah, but what shade of blue? you cant just say "blue" there's like a billion different shades!" i demand.

"im not sure you understand the concept of 20 questions, brooklyn" he says sarcastically. "we take turns asking the questions, doofus. if you really want to know what shade is my favourite you'll have to wait your turn!" he continues.

"ugh fine! fire away lucas." i sigh, waiting for things sucks.

"hmmm....what's your middle name?" he asks.

"faith, ugh its so tacky can we just not?" i put my face in my hands giggling.

"Brooklyn Faith Irwin...i like it." he smiles at me and we hold eye-contact for a few seconds, just smiling.

"your turn!" his sudden outburst makes me jump and he laughs at me.

"what is your favorite shade of blue?" i finally ask.

"hmmm it's hard to describe, kinda like bright blue. it's like...." he looks around the room to see if there's anything blue then his eyes land on my electric blue hair.

"aha! it's like your hair!" he sounds very proud of himself for finding an example of the colour, which i find amusing.

"i'll take that as a compliment mr lucas!" i reply.

Ashton's POV (bet you weren't expecting that)

I drive home quickly, im not really worried about brooklyn not being in her last two classes, she skips a lot, that's just how she is, but i am anxious as to what her explanation will be this time, even though it will probably be the usual "i got bored of being lectured on Pythagoras's' theorem" 

I pull up outside our house and get out of my car, speed-walking to the front door. as i open it i hear laughter from the living room and am caught off guard because it's two voices laughing, brooklyn's and...a boy's?

i poke my head around the door frame and see that it's only luke, i breathe a sigh of relief. i never thought i would see the day that luke and brooklyn got along, let alone ditch class to just chill together, like she used to with Amanda and still occasionally does with grace.

"are you ok ash?" luke asks me laughing a bit.

"Yeah it's just, y'know if you're pulled out of 5th period and told that your baby sister's flunking again, and then come home to hear her laughing with a boy, you freak out just a little. but hey! it's only you!" i say, grabbing an orange and sitting on the sofa across from the wall that luke and brooklyn are sat leaning against.

"quick question though, whats wrong with the sofa?" i ask.

"i just prefer being lower down." luke and brooklyn both say at the same time. both their eyes go wide along with mine and we burst into laughter.

Brooklyn's POV

Even though luke and i were just chatting and joking around (pretty much exactly like we are with ash now) it feels like he interrupted somthing. obviously he didin't. maybe i just feel weird because ash doesn't know about my cutting and luke does. that sounds about right.
