Ashton's P.O.V.
I'm completely screwed. If me and Michael go through with this, it could ruin my friendship with Luke. But if we sit back and do nothing, then he'll just swoop in and destroy every chance I have of being with Aoife. It's a lose, lose situation.
Why can't I just be a normal hormonal teenager who's only interested in boobs? Why did I have to fall in love with my best friend? My life is so fucking complicated.
"Bro, I think I know what to do!" Michael announced after a solid five minutes of thinking.
"What?" His devilish smirk made me curious... and slightly worried.
"Set them up on a date. Text them both and ask them to meet you at whatever time at whatever place, then just don't show up. When they're together, we can sneak up on them and ruin everything." He beamed with pride at his own ridiculous plan.
"Is that a joke?" I asked, to which he shook his head. "So let me get this straight; you want me to set them up on a date? Then, you want me to ruin it? They'll fucking hate me!"
"I said we, didn't I? We're in this together." He punched my arm reassuringly, but I couldn't hide my frown. He sighed, "Ashton, if we don't do this, you'll lose her forever. Is that what you want?" He asked forcefully.
"Of course it isn't! What part of 'I like her' got lost in translation?" I spat.
"If you really like her you'll fight for her." He replied calmly.
I ran my hands through my already messed up hair. "I need time to think about this, Mike."
"I get that, really I do. But you need to think fast, mate. 'Cause I'm not sure Luke's the type to hang about."
He was right. If Luke wanted Aoife, he wouldn't be wasting any time.
I just need to sleep on this.
Then I'll make my decision in the morning.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ash, it's me again. Me and the lads looked everywhere for you and Michael last night but neither of you were answering your phone and we really need to know that you're okay. Just ring me back, please?"
Tears stung my eyes as I listened to Aoife's voicemail. She sounded so tired and defeated. It hurt to know that she was with Luke the whole time, but at least she wasn't alone. Imagine if she'd been searching for me by herself and something bad had happened to her. I'd never forgive myself. That's why it's so important for me to be with her. I'll always protect her and keep her safe. She'll always be my number one priority.
I scrolled through my contacts until I found Michael's number. With shaky hands, I typed in a new message.
I'll do it. Whatever it takes. I can't lose her - Ash
Releasing a breath I didn't realise I was holding, I pressed 'send'.
[Mystery] P.O.V.
My phone vibrated in my back pocket as I poured myself a steaming cup of coffee. I pulled it out and checked the caller ID before answering.
"It's about time." I muttered.
"Sorry, boss. It took longer than we expected."
"Enough with the excuses. Just tell me what you found." I stirred two sugars into the coffee and took a swig from the mug.
"She's meeting up with her friend tomorrow. The guy you don't like."
My blood boiled and I slammed the mug onto the kitchen counter. Droplets of hot liquid spilt everywhere making me even angrier. "Where?"
"The ice cream parlour next to the beach. 12 o'clock."
"You've done well, thank you." I hung up.
If she thinks that she can walk away from me happy, she's got another thing coming. And as for that friend of hers... Once I'm finished with him, he'll regret the day he ever met Aoife O'Malley.
