Chapter 12

~|Luke’s POV|~

Ashton is finally better, so today we are going to their house for band practise.

Honestly, I thought Ashton was pregnant because he was just constantly throwing up and clutching his stomach, whilst groaning. But it turned out to be clear.

No babies on board.

I grab my guitar and leave my house quickly. Calum is coming home in two days.

When I turn up at Ashton’s house, I hear talking coming from the inside of the house. I lean my ear up against the door, trying to make out who I assumed was Ashton and Michael, were saying.

“Calum can’t possibly like that Jasmine girl. He has to be in love with Luke!”

What? How would they know?

“Yes. I agree. Luke and Calum have a thing for each other, and I know it! What about you?”

“Yeah. We have to get them closer somehow, and get Calum to figure out that he is in love. Not with that Jasmine chick, but Luke”

“Oh!! And, she was a total bitch to me when she came for that band practise when I was sick. As soon as Calum left, she started talking shit about Calum, and each time she did something wrong, she’d blame it on me!”

I heard a car pull up behind me. I turn around, and see Calum stare at me. I bite my lip, and look down. I was about to open the door, when Calum stopped me.

“Luke, whatever you have to keep a secret from me, you can honestly come out of your shell, and tell me! Because I promise I wouldn’t judge you or be horrified. Whatever it is, I’d be there 24/7 to take care of you, or comfort you.”

I'm shocked at what he said, but I’m still not sure if I’m ready to tell him.

“Okay.” I whisper, then open the door, revealing Michael and Ashton.

“Hey guys! Took you long enough!” Ashton chuckles. “Wait! Do you have that Jasmine chick with you?” Michael looks over at me, and smiles.

I know why he asked that, but he should know I was outside with Calum.

“No Michael I don’t. But what? Don’t you want her here?” Calum asks. I stay silent, knowing that – of course, I don’t want her here.

“well yes actually. I don’t even like her to be honest,” Michael shrugs, not caring about what he just said. “She was a bitch to me when you left to find Luke, last band practise.” Ashton speaks up.

“She blamed her mistakes on Ashton,”

“And she talked shit about you Calum.”

I still stayed quiet.

“Well I’m sorry you don’t like her, because I think I love her.”

We all fall silent. My eyes grow wide. Tears start to form, but I stand strong. I see Michael staring at me. He could see that I was hurt by Calum saying what he just said. And I think Ashton sees the same.

“Calum, when did you meet her?” Michael asks calmly. I turn around to add Calum behind me, biting his lip.

“Um. About...Uh. Few days.”

I close my eyes, breathing in, then out, then slowly open my eyes again.

“Calum, you only just met her. You can’t declare if you love her or not.” Ashton speaks up. “Well thanks for supporting me. You said you would no matter what.” Calum mumbles.
