Ashton's POV

My grip tightened on Luke's as I listened to Ryan's words, "Do not talk to Luke like that, you're a sick fuck who just feeds him lies. What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I don't feed him lies, he knows what I'm saying is true."

"If you think any of what you say about him is true then you must be dumber than I thought you were and you must be blind to not see that he's a beautiful, amazing person who I would rather be with than anyone else and I love him." I turned to look at Luke who smiled slightly at me and I squeezed his hand but our little moment was cut short by Ryan laughing.

"You two think I give a shit if you love each other? I'm not letting Luke go, not until I'm finished with him."

"And what is that supposed to mean? He isn't property or whatever you think he is to you." I somewhat snapped at him, getting frustrated and angry with Ryan because I just didn't understand his mind-set of how he could think so little of Luke.

"He's my fuck toy." Ryan smirked.

"A fuck toy?!  He's not a fucking toy, he's a human being!"

"Yeah, a human being who happens to be my fuck toy." I could tell Ryan was enjoying this, he was pissing me off and he knew it. But I couldn't help myself when I pushed him against the way once again.

"You bastard! You sick fucking bastard!"

"Get over it." Ryan spat, barely even reacting to me but that just pissed me off more and so I pressed him further into the wall.

"I despise you." I spat, putting emphasis on the 'despise'. Ryan just laughed and then mocked me,

"Aw, I despise you too. Now get the hell off me." Ryan roughly shoved md away and then took a step closer to Luke but I shoved him back. "Stay away from him."

"I told you to get off me." Ryan then shoved me back harder than the first time and I ended up stumbling and hitting my head on a locker, very hard. I fell down to the floor and I saw Luke trying to move towards me but Ryan grabbed his hips and pulled him back to him.

My vision was getting blurry and I tried shaking my head to clear it but nothing happened and when I tried standing up, I ended up falling back to the floor because I was extremely dizzy.  Ryan laughed at me but I heard Luke call my name, sounding very worried.

"Get off him." I said whilst attempting to get up but failed miserably, my vision was too blurry and I couldn't focus. This only made Ryan laugh harder than before.

"What are going to do? You can't even stand up."

"Please just leave him alone."

"I'll be seeing you, Ashton." Grabbing my head, I heard Ryan walk off with Luke but I couldn't do anything with my head like this. I could hear Luke protesting but I couldn't help as I felt myself slide down further to the floor and my eyes closed.

---

I wasn't fully unconscious; I just wasn't alert and able to do much because of my spinning vision. I was able to hear the sounds of Luke being dragged away from me but I couldn't do anything about it, well, that was until Calum and Michael showed up.

"Ashton! Mate, what happened? Are you alright?" Calum rushed to me and tried helping me sit up whilst Michael watched on anxiously.

"Ryan punched me a few times and I hit my head, I'm a little dizzy." I explained as I clutched my head once I was sat straight, my head feeling like it was spinning.

"Alright, take it easy Ash." Calum placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Where's Luke?" Michael piped up.

Too quickly, I tried to stand up and ended up falling back to the floor whilst Calum pressed me down, "N-no, Cal, we gotta help him, let me up."

"Ash, slow down, you can't get up like this."

"But Luke, he needs me."

"Where is he? What's happened?" Calum looked worried now.

"Ryan dragged him away after I hit my head, we need to go help him." Again, I tried getting up but with my urgency this time. However, Calum still would not let me get up.

"No, ok? I'll go find him, Michael stay with him." Michael then replaced Calum at my side before Calum made his way down the corridor, going to find Luke.

"Michael, we need to go too."

"Why?"

"Because Luke's with Ryan and Calum won't be able to handle him himself. Please Michael, we need to go too." Practically begging Michael, I gave him a desperate look to add to the effect and he contemplated what I had to say.

"But you can't go all dizzy and shit like you are."

"Once I start walking, I'll be fine, just help me up. Luke needs us."

"Fine but don't complain if you fall." Michael then grabbed my hands and helped me stand before holding onto my arms in order to steady me. "Good to go?" I nodded at Michael's question and we set off trying to follow Calum.
