« You what? » Calum exclaimed. « You fucking kidding me? For God's sake Luke the kid's in love with you! You can't just kiss him like that! »

« I know, I know! I don't know what's wrong with me I just... I just wanted to I-I... » The blonde was stuttering.

« Okay, so we have to go downstairs to eat with the boys now, we'll talk about this later. » Calum pinched his nose. « Don't do anything stupid. » He said pointing at Luke.

Luke nodded and they both headed downstairs to the hotel's restaurant, it was a nice place, a bit fancy and Luke wasn't fond of those place but anyway. Michael was already here, drinking some kind of cocktail but Luke frowned when he saw that the curly-haired boy wasn't here.

« Ash's not with you guys? » Michael asked.

« No, we thought he would be with you.» Calum scoffed.

« Well, he's not. » Michael stood sighing sadly. « I'm going to see what's wrong. »

« No! » Luke pressed on his shoulders. « I-I'll do it. »

Michael eyed him weirdly and Calum gave him a knowing look, meaning that he had to be careful. Luke nodded and he jogged to Ashton's room. He rubbed his hair and softly knocked at the door.

« Get out Mike I'm not hungry. » Ashton yelled from the inside.

Luke smirked and he knocked again and again till Ashton decided that it was enough. The small boy raised from the bed and he opened the door roughly. He was ready to yell at Michael but when he saw the blonde curls and the blue eyes he tensed instantly.

« O-oh, it's you. » He said holding to the door.

« Yeah, we... we're waiting for you downstairs. » Luke said not feeling really confident and confortable because of what he did.

« Are you really going to act like you didn't kiss me ?» Ashton said with confidence.

Luke frowned and he grabbed his bottom lip between his teeth. He didn't know what he was supposed to say. He would be lying if he said that he didn't like it, but maybe he wasn't ready to admit that. Luke had a girlfriend that he loved, yeah, he was in love with Nia, absolutely no doubt about that.

« I'm sorry, i-it was a mistake. » Luke said playing with the hem of his shirt.

Ashton's heart just dropped. The small boy bitted his tongue harshly, trying not to burst into tears because damn he never thought that words could hurt as much as that.

« You can't just kiss me and tell me afterwards that it was a mistake. » Ashton frowned sadly.

« Ashton please don't-»

« I have feelings, Luke! » Ashton barged in. « You can't just play with me! You can't kiss me like that when you know that I'm in love with you! » Ashton yelled in the hallway.

« Than maybe you should stop! » Luke yelled back.

Ashton's heart dropped, again.

«W-what? » He stuttered holding back his sobs.

« Maybe... maybe you should stop loving me. » Luke's gaze was rude and rough.

Ashton couldn't believe what just came out of Luke's mouth, did he really had the audacity to say that? Damn yes. Wow, Ashton swang on his feet, he was really trying not to cry because all his emotions were very messy right now.

« B-but I-I can't. » Ashton said and his voice cracked. « I couldn't stop loving you even if I wanted to. » He said sobbing.

The hazel-eyed boys had tears rolling down his cheeks, Luke was facing him with a blank face and he regretted already what he said.

« Ashton I'm-»

Ashton didn't listen what Luke had to say and he slammed the door at his face.
