Luke's POV

"Ash, Ryan is coming." I gripped onto his arm and he squeezed my hand reassuringly as he tugged me toward the canteen with a faster pace.

"It's alright, Luke, calm down." Ashton tried to calm me down but it didn't work because Ryan stepped in front of us, bringing us to a halt and causing me to step backwards away from him.

"Hi again, Luke." Ryan smiled at me but Ashton stepped in front of me slightly, somewhat obscuring the view Ryan had of me, causing Ryan and Ashton's eyes to meet.

"Stay away from him."

"Why's that?"

"I know what you've done to him and I don't want you anywhere near him."

"And how do you know he isn't lying?" Ryan smirked.

"For one, why would he? And secondly, I've seen the bruises and what you've done to him mentally so do not give me any bullshit of claiming he's lying because he isn't." Ashton was angry by the fact that Ryan had the audacity to claim what I said was lies but I was glad he believed me this time and not Ryan.

"Fair enough, you aren't as stupid as you look, unlike Lukey here." Ryan gestured towards me, "He always came back no matter what I did, didn't you Luke?" He looked directly at me.

"Luke is not stupid; you were just an abusive twat that made him come back. He didn't want to and you know it."  Ashton cut in before I could respond; I could feel his anger grow with each passing sentence from Ryan's mouth.

"I may be but at least I know what it's like to fuck his tight little arse and hear him cry and scream for me. Watch him writher underneath me, begging me t-" A punch to the cheek silenced Ryan.

"Don't you dare talk about him like that you disgusting piece of shit!" Ashton was seething but now so was Ryan and he wasted no time in punching Ashton right back. I screamed and tried rushing for Ashton but he pushed me back slightly before getting hit by Ryan yet again.

Ashton stumbled backwards slightly and Ryan laughed, "You're just as pathetic as him."

"I told you to shut up about him!" Ashton then launched himself at Ryan and both ended up on the floor with me shouting and trying to pull Ashton from Ryan but it didn't work, all I seemed to succeed in was getting Ashton punched again, only this time it was a lot harder.

Ryan's fist made contact with Ashton's nose and it made a sickening crack sound, Ashton then yelled out in pain but slid off Ryan allowing Ryan to spring up from the floor and roughly push me against the wall.

"Listen here, just because you got a boyfriend now does not mean I'm done with you, it does not mean you're free. You're mine."

"Why are you fighting this? Why can't you just let me go?" I tried staying calm right now, whilst Ashton was on the floor and Ryan was already pissed off.

"Because you are mine, you're not allowed to leave."

"I'm not fucking property, you don't own me."

"You are mine!" Ryan bellowed and shoved me harder into the wall, making me wince. However, Ryan was then pulled off me by Ashton and it was his turn to be shoved into the wall.

"Don't fucking touch him! And he doesn't belong to you, get that through your thick head!" Ashton yelled in Ryan's face but he just laughed back.

"I told him what would happen if he told, I'm only keeping my promise." Ryan smirked despite Ashton's hold on him.

"You're a sick bastard, do you know that?" Ashton pressed him harder into the wall and Ryan's smirk was wiped from his face and replaced with anger.

"Get your disgusting hands off of me." Ryan shoved Ashton away from him, causing him to stumble backwards and fall onto the floor. I went to his side and stopped him from jumping up to hit Ryan again.

"Ash, please stop." I whispered to him, he looked up at me and shot me a sympathetic look before standing up and taking my hand.

"Look, just leave Luke alone and we won't have a problem."

"But I do have a problem, Ashton. It's with you and him. I told him not to tell you otherwise I'd hurt you, he didn't listen." Ryan stepped closer but Ashton moved us back.

"You've done enough, just leave him alone, I mean, it's your fault he tried to kill himself." I winced at what Ashton said but he didn't seem to notice.

"Yeah, I saw how pathetic and weak he looked in that hospital bed. Maybe if he'd just have died then we wouldn't have this problem, eh Luke?" Ryan was looking at me and I tried not reacting despite the pang on pain that I felt, maybe he was right. Ashton certainly wouldn't have an almost certain broken nose right now and he'd probably be happy.

Maybe Ryan was right, maybe it'd be better without me here.

A/N: Well this is short and crap and the ending is awful but I didn't really know where to go without having a ridiculously long chapter and I couldn't be bothered writing it so I guess I'm doing it in 2 parts. I'm sorry this is awful though.

Anyway, in case you didn't know, I'm nominated for the Lashton Awards on 5sosLashtonawards account so when you're able to vote, it'd mean so much if you could go vote for me. I'd like to actually achieve something in this life and this would be a start so thanks in advance if you vote.

Goal: 75 votes and I'm going to push for 35 comments xx Thanks.
