Why is the Question || Luke/Ashton Fanfiction

Chapter 3

My alarm goes off at six. I get dressed slip on black skinny jeans and a white t-shirt with a blue and white flannel. I tend to wear flannels a lot I've noticed.

"Jenn come down stairs, breakfast is ready."

I still wonder why Ashton was freaking out but I just push those thoughts to the back of my head. I grab my bag and all black converse and head down the stairs. Michael and mom are already seated finishing up there food. I don't really eat breakfast I just have a few bites then some orange juice.

"So Jenn do you want a ride to school?" Michael asked

"Yeah I don't feel like walking."

"Alright I'm going to pick up Kimberly on the way."

"Yeah that's fine."

As I finished eating I just sit quietly in the back seat of Michael's car. We have no conversation on the way to school it's only like a three minute drive from the house. When we pull in to the school I see Kit and Courtney and we enter the school together. It's funny all of our lockers are one away from each other's.

"So can you go to soccer practice after school?" Kit asked

"Yeah but I'm not suppose to play because my back needs to heal. But I'm still going."

"I don't think that's a good idea. Why don't we go do something after school that has nothing to do with anything physical."

"No I want to go to practice I've missed so many and two games I can't miss anything else. Just don't tell my mom."

"Okay we won't."

I didn't see Ashton all day today. But he never comes to school well sometimes just not usually. Practice was okay I guess. I walked home with Courtney because Kit and Calum went to one of her cheer competitions and it was all the way in Rochester and we live in Syracuse it's a pretty far drive. When I get home Michael, Kimberly, Luke, and in the refrigerator is Ashton wearing tight black skinny jeans and a black shirt that says anti-nowhere league it has rips in it. I remember he once told me he cuts them up because he gets sweaty. As he's about to turn around to look at the door I walk quickly up the stair with Courtney, she didn't even have enough time to give Luke a hug because I yanked her arm up the stairs with me. Oops.

"What the hell?" Courtney yelled

"Sorry I just didn't want to face Ashton."

"Wait wait wait you didn't even thank him for like totally saving your life?"

"Yeah about that... No does that make me a bad person?"

"No but you should at least tell home thanks for saving your life. Without him saving you we wouldn't even be here having this conversation."

"Okay I will just not now-"

I hear a knock on the door I just hope it's not Ashton. Honestly I would hide under my bed. I'm such a chicken. I hate myself.

"Hello?"

"It's Michael"

I open the door and yank his arm. He trips over the door stop.

"Why don't you come down stairs and hangout?"

"Um I'm better staying up stairs."

"Is it because of Ashton?"

"I don't know I just don't want to talk to him."

"Do you want me to tell him to leave?"

"No"

After about 10 minutes of silence Courtney convinced me to go down stairs and we sit as far as away from Ashton. It's basically the girls on one couch and the guys on another. We just sit and watch Family Guy. After about two hours or so Courtney and Luke went home and Michael offers to drive Kimberly home forgetting I'm not talking to Ashton let alone dating him. So I sit on the couch quietly and I see him make a movement as he was getting up motioning his way towards me. I stand up quickly but not too quick and walk over to the kitchen.

"So" Ashton says

I think about what I'm going to say because somehow I know I'll fuck something up when I talk.

"Thanks for saving my life."

"Yeah no problem."

I want to ask him why he was panicking and freaking out but my mind didn't catch up with my mouth and I blurt it out.

"Why were you freaking out and panicking?"

Afraid to hear his answer.
