28

I sighed a little and Luke lied down next to me.

"What's wrong?" I asked, resting my head in the palm of my head so that I could look at Luke.

"It just feels so wrong to think of anything besides Ashton feeling better right now."

I sighed again but I agreed, it did feel weird to have a good time while Ashton was fighting to regain his memory.

"You're not mad?" Luke asked and I chuckled.

"Obviously not, how could I be?"

Luke chuckled and kissed my forehead.

"I love you"

"I love you, too, Luke"

Luke smiled and pressed me close against his warm body as I felt his breath on my neck, giving me slight goosebumps.

After a while, Luke got up again and threw over one of his shirts to me.

"You're already a little sick, I don't want you to get worse" he said as I pulled on the shirt and had to sneeze as on command.

"Bless you" Luke said and I chuckled and yawned a little.

"Someone is tired" Luke said and grinned.

"Kind of" I admitted "been a few stressful days"

"Mhm" Luke agreed and crawled back into bed.

"Luke?"

"Yea?"

"Can we stay in bed forever and pretend that there's only you and me?"

Luke's lips curled up in a smile as he kissed me softly.

"Sure honey."

*****

I woke up quite late the next day and even though Luke made me sleep in his shirt I felt even more sick and my head was aching quite badly.

Luke wrote me a note saying he was getting breakfast and would be back soon, so I got up and went to the bathroom to get some pills against the throbbing pain in my head.

I opened the medicine cabinet and was stunned by all the pill bottles and cartons that were stacked in the small cabinet.

I digged around for a little until I finally found a little carton saying "aspirin" on top of it.

I opened the carton and I didn't find any pills in there, the thing I actually found was some white pulver in a little transparent packet and it only took me seconds to realize what was stored in that carton - the drugs Kylie had been talking about.

"Babe, are you alright?" I suddenly heard Luke who was knocking at the bathroom door.

"Y-Yea" I said as I opened up the door, still holding the little packet of drugs in my hand.

"Shit" Luke cursed and I looked at him disappointed.

"It's not what it looks like."

"Sure, it's probably just chalk right?" I said ironically.

"I'm not even gonna deny that those are drugs, Bella. But look at that, the packet is full right? I didn't take them, I haven't done drugs for a long time."

I grunted. "Why do you have them then?"

"Well i couldn't just throw them out, could I? Do you have any idea how much that shit costs?"

I groaned and pressed the packet into Luke's hand.

"What were you searching for in here anyways?" Luke asked a little worried.

"Just something against this damn headache I woke up with."

Luke opened the medicine cabinet and found some aspirin that I swallowed with a little water quickly.

"Would you rather go home?"

I nodded. "Mum's gonna pick me up in a bit."

"You're mad at me or?" Luke asked, sounding a little sad.

"No, I'm not Luke I just don't know what to believe anymore."

"So you don't trust me?"

"I do"

"Then where's your problem?" Luke now sounded a little angry and I didn't want him to loose his temper so I just said:"I think i'm just really not feeling that well today, I do trust you though and I'm sorry, I shouldn't make such a big deal out of this."

Luke smiled a little sad and walked up to me to wrap his arms around me and hold me tight while he pressed a kiss to my head.

"I swear to never take drugs again" Luke said and I smiled at him. "Pinky promise?"

"Pinky promise" Luke agreed and we linked our pinkies as my headache slowly started to fade.

****

I stayed at home the whole day while Luke and Calum went to see Ashton, who still didn't regain any of his memory yet.

Michael and I had a long talk on the phone later and I was really close to bringing up the drugs but I just didn't think that it would be fair to do that to Luke so I didn't tell Michael, who told me how messed up he looked after he let Larry dye his hair, which now was a dark shade of green and actually didn't look half as bad as Michael said it did, at least it looked good on the pictures he sent me.

Later that day, Jaime and Larry, who just visited Ashton for a few minutes came by and brought me some snacks and my favourite starbucks drink.

Both of them were going to go back to their hometown that night and they didn't want to leave without saying goodbye to me - bless their little adorable hearts.

Larry even shed a tear when he said goodbye as he knew that both he and his boyfriend wouldn't be able to come visit us again soon - and despite his rough-punky look Larry was just a really sensible guy.

I hugged both my friends tight and wished them a good travel home and my heart tightened a little as they left because I already missed them.

***

I went to bed really early that night so that i could get better over night but I got even worse and I felt to crappy to go to school the next day so I quickly texted Michael that he didn't have to pick me up as I was staying home that day and went back to sleep.
