Seventeen

Just a short note: last chapter I actually said Ash didn't have a car when in fact he had one a few chapters earlier :p So let's just pretend he had to sell it because he was short on money, okay?

People make mistakes, don't judge. 

Nice reading ;)

LUKE 

I go one side to another in front of Summer's apartment, waiting. It's not even noon yet, but I honestly wasn't thrilled to defer my conversation with her. The door is opened and I stop my nervous walk, looking up to face a shirtless Ashton in front of me. Great.

"Is Summer here?" What kinda question is that? Of course she is, she's probably just putting her clothes back on after sleeping with the guy in front of me.

Ashton nods slowly, looking serious at me "Yep"

He doesn't say anything else and doesn't bother moving aside so I could come in. I take a deep breath "Can I talk to her?"

He hesitates for a moment but he finishes opening the door, letting me in. I pass by him uncomfortably and I hate to admit that I actually keep my head down.

"Ash, what are you...?" Summer comes out of her bedroom, stoping as soon as she sees me. I can see her suddenly guilt expression "Luke"

"We gotta talk" I say, trying to ignore the fact that my cheeks are heating.

She glares awkwardly at Ashton "Yeah, I guess we do... Mhm, Ash..." It's obvious she doen't really know how to deal with the situation, she runs her fingers through her hair "Gosh, just..."

"I'll be in your room" Ashton interfeers, giving her a small smile and leaving us alone.

I can hear her whispering a "thank you" to him before turning to me with an apologetic look "I wasn't really planing for that to happen, I mean, that whole dinner last night was..."

"You know, if you wanted to dump me you could have just said it, there's no need to send your friend to hit on me so I won't feel bad or anything" 

She raises an eyebrow at me, confused "What?" She laughs lowly.

"Hannah. What? You're gonna tell me you didn't know she'd play the bitch the whole night?"

"Wait, wait. What gives you the right to come to my apartment and talk about my friend like this?!" She aks, obviously mad.

She actually didn't know. Well, I guess Hannah wasn't just playing to be a bitch "The fact that she kissed me and invited me over to her place, maybe"

Summer stays in silence, surprised, and I watch her digesting the information "She kissed you?"

"Yep, and I'm pretty sure she'd go way farther if I wanted"

She lets out a humorless laugh "No, I mean, why would she? She's my friend"

"Apparently not anymore"

"But this... Hannah's not like this" She seems quite upset.

I bite my bottom lip "So, you didn't ask her to hit on me?" I ask, suddenly feeling pretty stupid.

She rolls her eyes "Of course not, I wouldn't"

I nod "Okay, sorry then... But what about your little friend in there?" I suggest, pointing to where Ashton is.

She frowns "What about him?"

"Well, couldn't he have asked her to act like that yesterday? I mean, he'd get me out of the way, you know? And he did ended up pretty well as I can see" I say, looking at the hickey on her neck.

She blushes, taking a strand of her hair to cover it "He wouldn't..." Though she starts talking, she stops, considering the option. She doesn't seem too happy when she calls him "Ashton?"

The doors opens a little and he put his face on the entrance, his gaze going from her to me "You're alright?"

"Have you been talking to Hannah?" She asks, ignoring his question.

"What do you mean?"

"She's asking you if you didn't send Hannah to hit on me, ask for a ride and kiss me last night just to get me out of the way and get laid" I say roughly, for some reason I'm angrier than I thought.

"What the fuck did you just say?" Ashton gets out of the room completly, not looking calm either, and approaches me.

"Okay, you two stop this bullshit" Summer says, putting a hand on Ashton's chest and pushing him away slightly.

"I wouldn't loose my time getting you out of the way Luke, it's not like I need that anyway" Ashton provokes and I'm about to answer him but Summer speaks first.

"Alright, this shitty talk of yours is not going anywhere, so can you please quit?" None of us says nothing, though our constant stare at each other let it pretty clear that neither is thrilled to have a nice conversation " Good. Now, Ashton, so you didn't know anything about this?"

"No, what did Hannah do?" 

Summer takes a deep breath "Kissed Luke last night, and invited him to her place"

Ashton's expressions changes after a few seconds and he closes his eyes, throwing his head backwards and letting out a groan.

"For fuck sakes, she's loosing it seriously"

"Why? What are you talking about?" Summer asks, confused.

He bites his bottom lip, looking at her and hesitating a little before talking "She... She's in love with me" He runs his fringers through his hair "I think she might be jealous of us or something"

SUMMER

I knock on the front door of Hannah's apartment repeatedly, not really in the mood to wait. I feel the rage taking over me. Not just because of last night, but the fact that she never told me she liked Ash makes me seriously upset. I thought we were friends, friends tell each other things. And now she simply gets all jealous of some stupid shit and starts acting like a bitch?

I'm received by a sleepy Hannah, that's suddenly woken by me entering her place without any invitation.

"So, since when are you in love with Ashton?"

She's caught by surprise, letting out a nervous laugh "What?"

"You heard me. Oh, and tell me about your kiss with Luke last night, was it good? Sorry he didn't come up here by the way, it must be really frustration for you, to be dumped over and over"
