Wait (Lashton)

Ricky didn't stop, in fact he made things way worse. There are now rumors flying around saying Luke is cheating on Ashton, but Luke didn't let them bother him because the both of them knew it wasn't true. Ricky also made a few of Ashton's teammates turn on Luke already. He made them hate him so much, even though Luke did literally nothing. But of course, they'll believe anything Ricky says. So when he approached him, he had more people backing him up. At first, Luke wasn't scared because it was just Ricky, but now he has three behind him and more to come.

"You should break up with Ashton. He's lying to you. Plus, he doesn't want to be with a cheater like you." He spoke with an evil smirk. Before Luke spoke, he took a gulp nervously looking at the guys behind him. "You're such a liar. And I never cheated on him. So if I were you I'd watch what you are saying." Luke spoke cautiously. One of the guys behind him rose his fist almost punching Luke straight in the face. "Not yet Josh." Josh nodded, lowering his fist. "Think what you want, but either break up with him or I'll let him hit you next time." Then they all walked off.

Luke couldn't break up with him, he liked Ashton too much to do that. But he didn't know if he should tell him or just leave it because he doesn't want Ashton worrying about him. He hated it when people worried about him, he's not something people should worry about. So, he just left it, not telling Ashton anything. The whole day Luke avoided him as much as possible, still trying to decide if he should tell him or not. He ignored Ashton's texts, calls, everything.

When the final bell rang he immediately walked home, not waiting for Calum or Ashton. That didn't stop Ashton though. Because when he got home about 30 minutes later he knocked on Luke's door.

Luke slowly and cautiously opened it. "What the fuck Luke!? You've been avoiding me, ignoring me, you won't text me back and you're not picking up my calls! What the fuck Luke?! Is there something wrong!? Because you won't even talk to me about it!" Ashton yelled and furrowed his eyebrows in anger, but his facial expression quickly changed when seeing Luke's. "Something happened, didn't it?" He added lowering his voice. Luke nodded bringing Ashton in a hug. "Ricky, he wants me to break up with you, if I don't they'll hit me." He spoke as he pulled away. "He said you were lying to me." Ashton's face changed quickly. "You aren't lying to me right?" He chuckled nervously as he shook his head. "Okay good."

"You said 'they.' Who's they?" Ashton asked, changing the topic. "Your other teammates." He shrugged. "I'll tell them to stop, okay? And if they don't. Tell. Me. Okay?" Luke nodded as Ashton kissed his lips. "Now, don't ever leave school without telling me! I was fucking worried sick! I thought something fucking happened to you!" Ashton yelled, making Luke chuckle nervously with an innocent smile. "I'm sorry. I'll tell you next time." He smiled cupping Ashton's face with his hands.

"Alright, lets go do some homework now." He smiled more while Ashton's faded. "Babe, no." Luke frowned,"Yes Ashton, the first semester is going to end in a couple months. You need to start putting in effort. We'll start with math." Ashton let out a loud, childish groan. "How about..." He pondered for a moment,"for every answer you get right, I'll let you kiss me wherever you want. Except for my downstairs area 'cause I'm not ready for that just yet." Ashton's eyebrows rose,"Anywhere?" Luke nodded. I guess you could say that was an eventful night.

Luke woke up late the next day since he was up pretty late the night before trying to help Ashton. He didn't get a lot of answers right, but when he did he made the most of them. Love bites all over Luke's belly, near the hard on that he had, and on his neck. So, he rushed to school grabbing his books, but before he turned the corner he heard two people talking. Michael and what seemed to be Ashton.

"So, have you told Luke about your secret?" Michael whispered. "No I haven't because I don't think I'm ready yet." Ashton spoke while Luke was still curious. "Okay you better tell him soon."  Secret? What secret? Luke's mind thought curiously. Was Ricky right? Is Ashton lying to him?
