SAFE (Lashton/Malum AU)

Aftermath

I update as soon as I can! I don't want you guys to murder me, lol.

P.S: I love you guys as much as I love 5SOS.

---------------------------------------------

Ashton could only froze on his place as people shout at him to move. He's too scared, He can't move.

He closed his eyes, ready for the heavy lamp to fall at him.

And then he felt it. The impact.

Of someone's body pushing him away, shielding him with their body. Ashton opens his eyes and see Luke on top of him.

Luke saved him. (a.n: HA!)

People quickly rushed towards them, asking them if they're hurt, and Ashton shakily nod his head and so does Luke.

Ashton POV

That's the second time in a week prior that I almost die. Seriously, if it wasn't for Luke I wouldn't be here right now.

"Oh my god Ashton are you okay? You're not hurt right?" Michael rather rudely shoved Luke from me, hugging me as tight as he could. I could feel his whole body shaking from fear.

"I'm okay Mikey, thanks to Luke." I nod my head at the taller lad. Mikey look up with teary eyes, he then got up from me and hug Luke instead.

"Thank you Luke, thank you. You saved Ashton, you saved my bestfriend. Thank you so much Luke. Oh my god I can't thank you enough. Thank you very much Luke." Michael keep chanting "thank you Luke" as if it is a mantra. He's shaking and crying so hard that I wanna cry myself.

"Hey, hey, Michael it's okay. It's my job to keep Ashton safe. You don't need to thank me." Despite Luke's words, Michael still thanking him over and over.

"Shh, Mikey it's okay. I'm okay. Don't cry Mikey." I pull Michael from Luke, burying his face on my neck, letting his tears to soak it.

"I thought I'm gonna lose you again Ash, I don't wanna lose you. I love you Ashton, I love you so much."

"Shh, calm down Mikey. I love you too, okay? Shh, it's okay. I'm not going anywhere. I'm here. Calm down Mikey."

I took some times but Michael's finally calming down. Releasing his grip from me even only the slightest.

"G-guys, can you come here please?" Cameron called us from where he stood in front of the now broken lamp.

There, a letter taped from the lamp, written in what seems like a red sharpie, is Michael and I's name.

Calum carefully takes the letter, ripping the envelope harshly. He scan over the letter, face paling gradually as he hand us the letter.

"Dearest Ashton and Michael,

I see that you guys got yourselves two little bodyguards. Let's see how great they are, yeah? This is only the beginning guys. Be prepared for some more. Next time, you wouldn't be so lucky.

P.S: Don't think of calling the police or I'll do much worse. And trust me, I'll know if you did."

What the fuck...

"This is crazy! What kind of sick fuck does this kind of things? What did we do to make them hate us so much that they want to hurt us? We never done anything bad. Fuck this." Michael says angrily.

"We-we need to call the police guys. I mean, I know the letter said not to, but the police could trace the person who wrote it, right?" Cameron suggest.

"No. We can't take the risk. It would be too dangerous if we do that."

"But if we don't the person would still hurt us! It wouldn't matter that much if we tell the cop or not." I finally speak up.

"I know Ash, but Calum and I want to minimize the chance to that getting worse. I'll send the letter to our headquarter and ask someone to trace it. We'll find the guy, okay?" I hesitate about Luke's words but I nod my head nonetheless.

"Okay, we better get going now. We still have works to do." I announce to them. They all nod and walk away glumly.

But what we missed is that Cameron's smirking from where he walk behind us.

---------------------------------------------

ASHTON'S OKAY YEAAAY, LUKE SAVED HIM.

Quick question: Which ships do you want to happen first? Lashton or Malum?

And I don't know if you guys know or not, but I'm going to live with my aunt and grandma in Indonesia, where my dad originally from. I'm going to attend Uni there and stuffs.

So I just got my acceptance letter from University of Indonesia and I'm majoring in communication even though I can't even communicate well and I'll start in the middle of August so that means there would be less update because I need time to settle down and adapt with the new country and everything.

I've been learning to speak Bahasa for the past months and I think I'm doing okay, lol. (Actually, no, I think I'm sucks.)

Wish me luck guys :-)

Love you guys so much
