I had the most awkward situation, like ever. My crush accidentally touched my boob. *sigh* Well enough of my embarrassing stories and back to the Lashton!. I'm glad y'all are liking my story :) And btw there is a trigger warning here. It's not going to be often but just in this chapter. Sorry!! And one more thing, I've been told that my story isn't very accurate as to how it is in Australia. I'm really sorry to any Australian readers but I don't know how Australia is. I'm not gunna change anything but I will try my best to be more accurate. Sorry guys :( But anyways Happy Reading!!!!!

*Ashton's POV*

I'm getting really worried about Luke. It's been 1 week since he left. It's Thursday. Nothing has progressed. It's just me texting him without any replies. I want him back. School has been dull and now I'm getting bullied. I can't do this alone, I need Luke. Home is good. My mom is so supportive and she's trying her best to help me through this. Michael has been nothing but nice. He's acting like we're best friends. I'm not saying that we're not but I didn't think he actually liked being around me. We haven't had band practice because we kinda need Luke. He's a big part of the band. It's wednesday and I just got out of school. As I'm getting in my car and see Michael run up to me.

"Hey can I get a ride?" He asks.

"Yea sure" I reply. Michael hops in and I drive him to his house. Once I'm home I sit on the couch I turn on my phone and hope that Luke has texted me. I see that I have one new message and it's from......LUKE!

"I love you" Is all it reads. Thats enough for me. At least he's alright. I smile and put my head back. I just want him to be okay. I want him to be here.

*Luke's POV*

I stand in the bathroom and look at my horrible reflection. I'm disgusting and ugly and I don't deserve anything I have. I'm worthless. I stare into the mirror for another 5 seconds before turning away. I look down at the counter and see it. The shiny metal blade. I haven't done this in a while I think to myself. Before I met Ashton I used to cut, a lot. I stopped just a few days before I met him in hopes that I could recover. I'm about 2 weeks clean. Well I guess it's more like 2 weeks about to go down the drain. Caleb's at work so I'm home alone. I pick up the cool metal blade and I drag it across my scarred wrist. It hurts but it's better than everything I've been feeling in the past week and a bit. I do this 7 more times until I'm satisfied with what I've done. I cheated on Ashton, with a complete stranger. I deserve this. I have no idea how Ashton is ever going to forgive me. If I were him I wouldn't. I love him so much and I did this. I put the blade down and turn some music on. I take a quick shower and walk back into my room. I decide that it's been long enough and I need to go home. I pack up my things quickly. I walk downstairs and see Caleb is in the kitchen.

"Thanks so much Caleb, for everything" I say.

"No problem Luke" He replies.

"I need to get back to Australia. I miss everyone so much and I need to talk to Ashton and ugh theres just so much I need to do"

"I thought so. Come here" He says and pulls me into a warm embrace.

"Stop cutting yourself. I can see the cuts" He says softly "Please Luke. Stay strong for me okay?" I pull away and nod. I feel tears stinging at the back of my eyes. I turn around saying one last goodbye and I love you and head out the door.

My flight was long and boring. I slept most of the way. I'm now at my house and it's 5 am. My mums asleep. The loud snores from her room prove that. I walk upstairs and plop down on my bed without hesitation. I check my phone once before falling asleep and see many missed calls and texts from Ashton. I feel so bad for not replying but I just needed to get away. I decide that right now sleep is important and that I can text Ashton in the morning. I can't even imagine how mad he will be at me.
