Luke

I knew calling Ashton would be a long shot. He still doesn't forgive me and I dont blame him. What I did was pretty bad, but what he did was illegal and I understand he tried protecting me but he didnt need to break the law. Anyways I need to figure out what to do about my situation I'm currently in. About 2 days ago I had received a text from an unknown number threatening to reveal my darkest secrets if I didnt do a certain task. I tried to ask Ashton if he could help but hes still mad at me. I dont know who else I can ask. I cant ask Michael or Calum because they wont understand. Ashton is the only one who will, he knows me inside and and out, the others not so much. But then again Ashton knows everything about us. Hes always been the dad of the group, always helping us out, keeping our secrets. But I fucked up my friendship with him all because I was pissed off at him for making a fool outta me. I shouldn't have done what i did but Tessa was in the wrong too. She should have said no. I should have told Ashton then about it, but I didnt. Anyways I looked at my phone a saw that I had a text from Calum.

To: Luke
So I noticed Ashton has removed you from the group chat. What's the go with that? You guys all good?

To:Calum
We're not exactly seeing eye to eye lately

To: Luke
What happened???

Should I tell Calum about it? What would he think? I could probably tell him half of the story.

To: Calum
I confronted him about what he did. Bribing the judge so i wouldn't have to go to jail. And basically we had a big fight over keeping secrets from each other.

To: Luke
Wow hectic. I'm gone for almost 3 months and you two are fighting. Hope you guys sort this out.

To: Calum
Yeah me too.

I was about to put my phone away when I received another text from Calum.

To: Luke
I should probably tell you the good news then. Ashton and Tessa are expecting twins

To: Calum
Really? That's awesome. Let them know I said congratulations

So Ashton and Tessa are having twins. They're going to have their hands full. Good luck to them both. Now let's figure out what I can do about this issue I have. Maybe the text can guide me. I went through my messages and found the text hoping it would help.

To: Luke
Hello Luke, dont ask how I got your number and dont reply to this text, just do the following task for me.
Tell Ashton the truth about why you slept with Tessa.
If you don't do this within 72 hours I will reveal your darkest secret to everyone. Good luck x

Okay I may have lied to Ashton about why I slept with Tessa, I di tell him part of the reason why but not all and I now have 24 hours to tell Ashton the real truth before my secrets are revealed. What the fuck do I do? This has been killing me for 2 days and I dont have much time. Maybe I can talk to Tessa about this. Nah she'll tell me not to tell Ashton. Ugh. Fuck. But I have to. My secrets need to stay secrets. I'm gonna do it. Yup I'm going to tell Ashton. This isn't going to make anything better.

To: Ashton
I know you dont want to talk to me right now but I don't have much time. I wasnt being honest with you about that night we argued and I need to tell you the truth. So please come over tonight at 8.

Okay so hopefully he'll respond and come over.

To: Luke
You're absolutely right I dont want to talk to you. Why the hell should I come over? You've done enough damage. You've said enough. I dont give a damn about you. So please kindly fuck off

Well at least he responded.

To:Ashton
Please Ashton just do it and after you wont have to speak to me again.

To: Luke
Fine....

Okay well here goes nothing. Time to tell him the truth about this shit. This isn't going to go well I can feel it.

It was getting close to 8 and Ashton still hasn't shown up. Maybe he decided not to come. I had a feeling he wouldn't show. Maybe hes late? I waited a little longer, It was now 8.15. Hes not coming. Just as I was about to go inside I saw a car pull up in ny driveway. He decided to come after all. Ashton slowly walked over to me, he didnt look too pleased.

"Let's get this over and done with. What do you need to tell me?" He mumbled

I took a deep breath.

"I wasnt completely honest with you as to why I slept with Tessa."

He raised his eyebrows.

"The truth is I uh..."

"Luke i dont have all night. Just fucking say what you need to say."

"Okay, the real reason I slept with Tessa is because..well one reason is that I was mad that you made a fool of me and the other reason is....I was jealous."

"Jealous? Why on earth would you be jealous?" Ashton asked

Okay now for the truth.

"Because I was...I was in love with her and I was jealous that you got the girl I wanted and so I slept with her just to see what it felt like for her to be mine."

There I said it. Ashton facial expression went from annoyed to angry within seconds.

"You're in love with my girlfriend?"

I nodded not knowing what to say next.

"And you slept with her to see what it felt like for her to be yours?"

I nodded once again. He didnt say anything for a few moments. He was still angry though.

"This doesn't change anything. You still hurt me by doing it and keeping in from me for so long. You could have just left her alone, but you didnt. You took advantage of her all because you were jealous that I got the girl you wanted. That's the lamest thing I've ever heard. Hell, Mikey likes Tessa, everyone knows that he does but he didnt sleep with her, no. He has respect for me unlike you. I'm sorry Luke but I'm not going to forgive you for this."

And with that he walked away. I dont know what came over me but I instantly regretted what came out of my mouth.

"Well I know one thing. Shes fucking wild in bed. Best sex I've ever had. Probably the best sex shes ever had to. The way she screamed my name when I pounded her pussy so hard."

Ashton stopped in his tracks, turned around and walked back up to me. His eyes filled with anger. He didnt hesitate to punch me. I fell back into the wall, I wiped the blood off my lip. I threw a punch in his direction connecting with his nose. He stumbled a bit then yelled as he tackled me to the ground laying punches, left, right and center.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!!"

Ashton was suddenly pulled off me. I got up slowly and noticed. My dad standing next to Ashton holding him back.

"I said what the hell is going on here?" He repeated

"Nothing sir." Ashton gritted as he pulled away from my dad.

"I'm sorry Andrew, I didnt mean to cause any trouble."

"That's okay. Now off you go."

Ashton walked off but before he made it to his car he turned around and faced me.

"Stay the hell away from my family Luke and stay the hell away from me because if you ever come near me I wont hesitate to kill you." He threatened

I knew this wouldn't have gone well. I shook my head and walked past my dad, ignoring his yelling. I needed to clean this blood off.
