Best Friend's Brother

Chapter 17

Calum's P.O.V

I had a really nice day with Ashton. I can tell that he's really special. I wonder what he thinks of me? Like, does he like me, or is he still crushing over that dick that used him?

I don't get how anyone can do that to such a sweet boy. He didn't deserve it; no one does, really. I really wish I didn't have to leave Ash, but Luke can't do anything for himself. He has to drag me into everything to see if I can give him some smarts since he's the dumb ass in our friendship and I have to try and bring his ass up from the hole he dug for himself.

When I arrived at Luke's house I got out of my car and went into his house, I used to knock on the door, but Luke's just really lazy to get the door so I now just go in without knocking. When I got into his house, I went directly into his room to find him hiding his head.

"What's wrong?" I asked, taking a seat on his bed.

"I fucked up." He mumbled into his pillow.

"Well, no shit," I said; this boy can be such an idiot. "I mean, what did you do wrong that caused you to bring my ass into it?"

"I...I don't really know how to say it." I rolled my eyes at how difficult he's being.

"Well, if you're going to be difficult, I'm just going to leave," I said as I started to get up from the bed, to only be brought back down by Luke.

"No." He whined. "So, I kinda hurt this boy and he's really sweet, and I basically like used him in a way, not sexual, and afterward, I went to a party and I met this girl and when we were doing it all I could think of was him and how much I fucked up."

"Okay first, ew, I didn't want to know that you fucked some random chick while you were drunk. Second, why don't you just talk to him? Like go to his house and actually apologize," I said. "And before you ask, apologizing is when you tell someone that you hurt, that you regret what you did to them."

"Why didn't I think of that?"

"Because you're a dumbass."

"Gee, thanks."

"What are friends for," I said, laying down on Luke's bed.

"So, how was your date." Luke then asked, changing the subject.

I smiled. "It was really good." I said, "We went to see Into the Woods and we basically talked through most of it, but it was hilarious. Then we watched Dance Moms at his house, and then you called me and I kissed him before I left."

"Nice, did you ask him to be your boyfriend?" He asked.

"No, not yet," I said.

"Well, why not?" Luke asked, and I rolled my eyes and chuckled. Ever since I came out to Luke he's been waiting for me to find 'the one' and whenever I go on a date or two with someone he always asks me if I asked if they're my boyfriend yet. Like I love how supportive Luke is, but he just gets annoying.

"I want the date to be amazing and I just want to make him happy, since when I met him he was crying and was having the worst day ever. Like, I want to give him one of the greatest days of his life."

"He's that special?" Luke asked.

"Feels like it," I said.

"So, when do I get to meet him?"

"I don't know, maybe in a bit, if we're still together because who knows what will happen," I said since it's true. Whenever I get into a relationship with someone there's always that one thing that happens that will ruin the relationship and cause us to break up. It happened a few times to me, and I really hope that it doesn't happen with Ashton and I.

"I'm sure you guys are," Luke said. "What do you think of doing for that date?"

"I don't know." I shrugged. "I just want it to be special."

"Why don't you start it off at where you work, since that's where you two met, wasn't it?"

"Dude, I want to ask him to be my boyfriend, not to marry me. I want it to be simple." I said. "But, I don't know what to do."

"I'm sure you'll think of it, Cal," Luke said as he sat up and stretched. "I have to head for work now, you can stay if you want, or you can leave; I don't care." He got up and grabbed his keys and left.

I'm probably going to leave soon but, I just want to do the right thing for Ashton. Give him the right date for the right occasion. I don't want it to be over the top, nor do I want it to be plain.

Why must this be so hard? It was never like this with the other guys that I dated.

I decided to leave and go for a drive, hoping that the idea of the perfect date will soon come to me.
