Part 16

Taylor's pov

"Did he say when he was going to be back?" I asked Luke. It was exactly a week since I had last seen ashton. I thought he would be back within a few days but he wasn't. The boys keep telling me that they have no way of contacting him and it's doing my head in. I need him here with me.

"Look, all he said was that he had to do something and he didn't know how long it would take" he told me sitting on the kitchen stool next to me.

"Do you think he's alright?" I whispered sadly.

"He will be fine, it's Ashton, it's almost impossible for him to get hurt.

Luke had really been there for me the past week, Calum was recovering from his broken leg which meant him and Michael played video games all day while me and Luke talked or went out.

I missed Ashton so much it was un real, he had only been gone a week. How much longer was he going to take.

1 year later.

It had been a year since he had been gone. Maybe he just told us he would be back to make things less awkward instead of saying he didn't want to know us. The boys kept saying he was busy doing something and he would definitely be back. But I didn't believe them. It has been a year now.

Me and Luke had gotten much closer each day as I gave up hope of Ashton ever coming back.

2 years later.

I had moved on. There was no way he was coming back now. I still missed him but I was angry. Angry and upset that he never properly said goodbye. So much for him loving me. I bet it was all a lie.

Over the two years Ashton had been gone me and Luke had a thing for a few months but it was weird and we decided we should just go back to being friends.

But now I was seeing a guy I met at a bar one night. His name was Aaron and he was a pretty fun guy. He was no Ashton though but I didn't have hope anymore. I believed that once something or someone left your life, you have to get over if. Ashton had caused me so much pain over the years and he was always in the back of my mind. Whenever I closed my eyes his face popped up in my dreams haunting me.

3 years later.

I was at home on my laptop sorting out my iTunes account when the door burst open and three guys came stumbling through the front door, two of them holding the third person up.

"Quick Tay, Luke's been hurt" a familiar voice that I haven't heard for 3 years panicked.

I looked at him shocked not believing it was actually him.

"Well help then" Calum snapped me out of my trance.

"O-oh um yeah sorry" I mumbled rushing over to Luke.

"What happened" I said looking at a beaten up Luke.

"It doesn't matter right now please just help him. You're good with all the first aid and stuff." Calum said

"Fine take him to his room I'll get the first aid kit" I said grabbing it from the kitchen and trailing to Luke room.

He was on the bed groaning in pain.

"What happened Luke?" I sighed

"I'm sorry" he whispered

"Why?"

"Aaron" he mumbled

"Aaron?" I repeated confused

"Cheated, he cheated on you and I hit him but he was stronger" he mumbled again.
