-Ashton-

"I thought you'd never come. A part of me was concerned that David had scrapped you for parts." The man who I now knew as my father was showing me the blueprints he had for when he made me, "I only kept these in case you came to be repaired, but it seems you have managed well."

"I-I um you probably don't know why I came. I mean I wanted to meet you and see my father for the first time. But I came because of David-," I began but my father abruptly cut me off.

"That man!- Always up to no good. He likes to cause problems and hurt people. That's all he does. Our creations are supposed to help people, not harm them," he stated, angrily looked down at the metal table in front of him.

"Well um..he created this cyborg. His name is Luke, and I know I'm a robot but I'm in love with him.-."

"You're in love with him, love is just an illusion Ashton especially for you. It's amazing that the way I made you can make you believe such things, but let me tell it isn't real."

"To me it is! It feels like the most real emotion- I mean I can actually feel it. Not just mentally but physically. And David t-took him away him from me- he e-erased his memories," I broke down at this point, head in my hands as I just began crying. It had been awhile, but just the thought of Luke made my chest tighten. Being away from him like this; him not even knowing that I'm thinking abut him.

"Ashton, you're a robot..-feelings like this aren't real. They are just a simulation okay? Do you want me to make them stop?" My father asked, motioning towards my head. But I quickly shook my head,

"No! I love him and I don't want to forget that or lose that. I've adapted father, I might as well be human-,"

"Don't say those things Ashton. That's dangerous," he sighed, placing his head on his hands, "don't you understand how people are after you? You're this incredible robot who seems exactly like a human. Can you imagine what the government would do if they knew where you are. I create you illegally and all this stuff with Luke, what if that could compromise you?"

"Why would it compromise me? He's a cyborg- he doesn't work for the government."

"Yeah but David does, I'm not sure if he ever reported you to the government, but I'm sure he has told them about Luke."

"You don't know that-."

"I do. David is an idiot, he believes the government is this amazing thing. But they're only using us, when I created you I knew they were going to take you away Ashton. Your potential to wipe out a population is a new super weapon in itself. Of course the government is going to want you."

"But-."

"But nothing, the risk is too much." My father replied abruptly, turning as to tell me he no longer is listening.

"I came all this way to see you, because I need help! And you refuse to help me!" I yelled, tears gathered in my eyes. They were burning as they streamed down my cheeks.

My father shook his head, and I looked at Calum who looked furious. About to walk over and give a piece of his mind but being held back by Josh. But he broke out of the grip, charging at my father. He pinned the man against the wall, Josh going to help him but I blocked him.

"You're going to help him." Calum said slowly and sternly, my father rolling his eyes.

"Your threats are empty."

"Oh yeah? I could give Ashton to the government, is that threat empty?"

"Yes, you care for him too much to give him to those bastards."

"I'm sure I could make a deal with them that allows me to see him only."

My father rolled his eyes, crossing his arms in irritation. "He's a robot Calum, stop trying to make him into a human. He isn't like this, it's an illusion." he snapped, pointing his finger accusingly at Calum who crossed his arms. 

I frowned at the man's words, they made something inside me feel even worse. I hated being a robot, because I did feel like a human. And now here I am, stuck as a damn piece of metal but I can't prove to people I'm more than that. 

Calum grabbed my hand roughly, glaring at my father who once again rolled his eyes and looked to Josh who moved forward. I looked to Calum, knowing that we no longer were welcome. So Calum ran, dragging me with him. Running through the doors to the elevator, and pressing the button over and over again. The beeping continually happening signaling that the elevator was going down. A tear running down my cheeks. I breathed out shakily, hearing Josh's footsteps approaching us when the elevator doors finally opened and we rushed inside. 

"Ugh." Calum groaned out when the doors closed, pulling on his hair while pacing back and forth, "What the fuck did we get ourselves into Ashton?!" 

I looked at him, shrugging with a frown. And he sighed at my reaction, pulling me in for a hug. 

"You're a human in my eyes," Calum mumbled, hearing the elevator doors opening. Realization hitting that the building was still in lockdown, but when we looked it actually wasn't. The building was deserted, the lights off. Calum muttered a few cuss words, taking my hand and walking through the building quickly. Opening the door and breaking into a sprint to reach the car, taking his phone out of his pocket to see six missed calls from his mom. 

"Ashton- I think we need to go straight to the source. Luke doesn't have his memories, he gave you that flash drive. Now I bet the government is after us- are you sure this isn't a nightmare. Fucking hell, what do we do? Fuck- what do we do?!"

I stared at him, tears in my eyes. "I just, I have this flash drive...I feel like Luke is the key to everything. I'm going to convince him to go down to my dad's lab- and I'm going to figure out how to  make him remember, it's the only way." I whispered, Calum rubbing my back as he turned on the car, the engine purring. I looked out the window, looking at the street lights flicker and turn on. My chest feeling heavy, bags under my eyes, looking at the sky turning pinks and yellows. Despite how beautiful it looked outside, he felt dead inside. But is he alive to begin with?

Hi I'm lonely, and I'm watching conspiracy theories alone at night (why would I do this to myself). So if anyone wants to message me and talk about lashton I'm chill with that. But for now, I'm going to write smut. (Unedited I'll edit it one day lol)
