"Oh! Fuck! Oh Braden! Oh!" Luke could hear Ashton screaming from upstairs. Luke was so done with them. They were always kissing all over each other, hugging, holding hands. Luke just wanted to swap places with Braden. So he'd know what it's like to see the boy you're in love with be happy with someone else.
Luke ran up to his mothers bathroom. He closed the door and locked it. He walked over to her shower and opened the curtain. There it was. The razor he'd been using for the past week. He couldn't tell anyone about his feelings because he had no one besides his mum and he just couldn't tell her. Therefore he cut. It's what he wanted to do. He knew he wasn't good enough for Ashton and it was his own fault do this was his punishment.
Luke whimpered and felt a few tears stream down his face. It hurt but, that was the point wasn't it? After about the ninth cut, he set the razor back down in the corner of the shower. He grabbed a red towel out of the closet in the bathroom. He held it down on the fresh cuts for a little but. He thought about how Braden was making Ash feel this way; not him. He took the towel off his cuts and put it back on the shelf it was on. He realized that the screaming from Ashton had stopped so he thought he'd check in on them. He walked across the hall and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" He heard Ashton's adorable voice say. As he walked in, Ashton was putting on a familiar AC DC shirt. Braden was in the corner; throwing something in the trash. It was a condom. Luke ignored that and spoke to Ashton.
"Ash, Liz called and said that Braden needs to be gone by 6. We're going out to dinner." Luke lied. He knew he could convince his mum to get us to go out to dinner, especially if it meant Braden leaving. No one besides Ashton was really very fond of this new 'boyfriend'.
"Oh, um, okay. He'll be out by then. Thanks Lukey." Ashton responded. Luke couldn't help but blush at the nick name 'Lukey'. He loved when Ashton's Australian accent said it to him. No one else could do the justice of that name.
Luke closed the door and checked the time. The time on his phone read '5:45'. That means he had to call his mum now. He held down the number two, which was the number his mum was under speed dial, and it stared to ring as he put the phone up to his ear.
"Hello?" His mum said.
"Hey mum. Listen, I really need you to come home now. I kinda lied to Ash saying that we were going out to dinner. Please?" Luke practically begged his mother.
"Ugh, was this just a scam to get that prick Braden out of our home?" Liz chuckled. Her and Luke practically had the same mind.
"Haha, yeah mum. Please don't be mad. I just can't stand the guy." Luke half lied. He really hated him but, he also hated that him and Ashton were a thing. His mum didn't know Luke was gay when he first liked Ashton. But, since Luke had tried to get Braden out of the house before, his mum had caught on.
"I'm not babe. I hate him just as much as you do. I'll be home in 7, yeah? I love you." She said.
"Okay thank you! Love you too mum, bye." Luke said and ended the call. When he went to go to Ashton's room and tell him when Liz you'll be here, he saw the couple by the door. Making out. Yet again. Braden had a grip on Ashton's bum and Ashton's extended fingers were tangled in Braden's lengthy hair.
"Um, bad timing?" Luke asked quietly.
"Oh, uh no. Not at all." Ashton said, both of the boys straightening themselves out.
"Okay well, Liz should be here in about 5 minutes so start getting ready."
"Okay. Thanks Lukey." Ashton said turning to Braden. "Bye baby." He said kissing Braden one last time. "Later babe." Braden said. He glanced at Luke rudely before walking out of the house.
