Luke's POV

"Good morning, how are you doing?" Was the first thing Ashton said to me once I woke up that morning. Smiling tiredly at him, he leaned down to kiss me and it was then that Calum made a gagging sound which broke me and Ashton apart.

"Could you guys not do that first thing in the morning?"

"Awh, is little Calum jealous?" Ashton joked and Calum scoffed,

"No, it's just I don't feel like throwing up just after waking up."

Ashton and I laughed, "You're going to have to get used to it." Ashton then informed him and Calum just smiled, obviously not as disgusted by the idea of us as he had made out he was.

"How are you feeling, Luke?" Calum asked as he made his way over to me, I told him I felt ok which was true because the painkillers I had meant my wounds weren't hurting and I didn't have that voice in my head currently so I actually felt ok that morning. "I'm glad to hear it because I was so worried about you." He then brought me into a hug.

"I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay because now we can help you and we can look after you." He smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Thanks, Cal."

"No problem." He hugged me again, "But, the nurse told us you could leave today but not until later when the doctor has checked over you properly."

"Ok, so are you guys staying here or?"

"Well, we kind of have to leave, Michael wants to meet up and talk about something away from you but he told you not to get offended because he'll tell you separately." Calum was quick to reassure me.

"Oh okay, but when are you going?"

"We should actually go now." Calum said glancing up at the clock, Ashton nodded in agreement.

"Bye Lu, we'll be back later to pick you up but you rest until then okay?" Ashton was quick to jump in and when I nodded, he kissed me again before heading towards the door where Calum was waiting. "I love you." Ashton called and I laughed at him before saying it back.

Smiling, I slipped down in my bed and got myself comfortable because even though I'd only just woken up, I was really tired. Getting comfortable, I allowed my head to rest against the pillows and my eyes shut before slipping off into a peaceful sleep.

My sleep was disrupted when I was woken up by the slamming of my room door. Displeased, I turned around to see Ryan stood by the door and I immediately tried sitting up straight but ended up groaning when I couldn't sit up comfortably.

"What are you doing here?"

"I asked around for where you were because I hadn't seen you and I learnt that you were here and so I thought I'd come to visit." Ryan informed me but had a smirk on his face.

"Why?"

"Just to see if it was true and there was a real reason why you couldn't see me, I don't want to punish you after all." Ryan's smirk turned into a creepy smile.

"Ryan, please go. I'm obviously not well so please not now." I begged Ryan but he moved closer to my bed and for all I wanted to get up off it, I knew I wouldn't be able to.

"I heard you tried to kill yourself, was it because of me?" He was now at my bed side, forcing me to look up at him.

"Ryan, can we not talk about this? Please?" I was not comfortable talking about this, especially with him.

"So it is because of me, I should have guessed, you were always weak."

Tears pricked my eyes, "Please just leave."

"Why, Luke? Why are you suddenly ordering me about?" He asked and I refused to look up at him when I said,

"Because I'm tired of letting you ruin me." I said, feeling myself get angry at him.

He then roughly grabbed the top of my hair and pulled my head back, I let out a slight squeal but Ryan quickly put his other hand over my mouth to muffle any sound, "You told Ashton didn't you?" He seethed and when I tried shaking my head, he only grabbed my hair harder which made me wince. "Don't even try to lie to me, you only ever get like this when you think you can escape me and I know you've told Ashton because even I know he would see through your lies if you lied to him about the reason you're here and so you told him the truth."

I'd honestly never seen Ryan so angry and I was actually really worried right now and I was terrified, "But you know what Luke, even though he knows, you're still mine. You'll always be mine. However now, I'm gonna hurt Ashton, just to hurt you because you weren't supposed to tell and I think you need to know I go by my promises. He's as good as dead and you can tell him because so are you." His eyes were cold and his tone serious, my breathing was heavy because Ryan was a psycho and I didn't know how to escape him but protect Ashton too.

Ryan then let me go and moved away before saying with a smirk, "I'll see you, Luke, tell Ashton to watch his back."

As he was leaving he started to laugh slightly at his own deranged plan and I just stared unmoving at him. I was petrified because what the hell was I supposed to do? Ashton would be up for any confrontation that Ryan offered and that worried me.

---------------

So I know I haven't included the suicide watch that would normally take place in the event of attempted suicide, but the plot doesn't necessarily fit around it because 14/15 year old me didn't really research before writing. So, until I can maybe find a way to edit it in, the suicide watch aspect isn't going to be included in this fic just to let any of you know who may question that. 

A/N: So this is chapter 15, what do you guys think? I'm sorry the ending is poor, I was a bit stuck on how to finish it but I think the rest of it is actually ok for a change.

I just want to say thank you for the amount of support I got on the last chapter, it's amazing to see how many of you voted so thank you so much. I literally love you all to pieces, you're all the reason for me wanting to write so thank you for allowing me the opportunity to pursue something I actually like by supporting and giving me the motivation to carry on.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it xx
