Chapter 10

Michael and Ashton were sitting on the couch watching some show, I was at the table with my head on my arms. I was feeling uncomfortable here, as it's ashton's house, but I needed to toughen up, I couldn't be scared or nervous to be around him, I knew he liked me, but I couldn't get that in the way of Luke and I. I looked at my phone, and decided to text luke, I sent;

Hey, can you come pick me up maybe? I'm not feeling well. I love you. x

I waited a while for him to reply back, he finally did.

I'll be there in about five. - luke

I don't bother to reply, as there's no point. But I decided to tell mike and ash. I walk over to them.

"Guys, Luke's picking me up, so I'll be gone in about 5 minutes." I sigh.

Ashton frowns. "Why so early?"

I shrug. "I'm not feeling well."

Michael smiles. "Aw, ell. I hope you feel better." He gets up and hugs me.

"Yeah. We'll see you later then?" Ashton asks.

I nod. "Sure." I pick up my bags and walk out near the street, where luke is picking me up, I see his car drive up the street and he stops. I walk to where he is and get in, his hands hold mine.

"Hey. You feeling okay?" He asks concerned.

"I'm alright." I let out a smile.

"Are you sure?" His face close to mine.

"I'm sure Luke." I turn and face the window, avoiding any questions. He finally drives back to his place, when we get there and Luke parks the car and gets out of the car. I see him get the keys out and walk over to me. He opens the door and I cling onto him. We walk in and he shuts the door.

Luke sighs. "What's the real reason you wanted to be picked up?"

Great. I know he would ask eventually.

"I-I felt uncomfortable being there." I reply.

He shrugs. "Why'd you go then?"

"I don't know, Michael was there."

Luke rolls his eyes, knowing that's always the reason I'd be around Ashton. It was true, but it is always my reason.

"Thank you for picking me up." I add.

He nods, and walks up stairs. I'm starting to think he's not okay. He doesn't usually ignore me like this and step out of a conversation that quickly.

I walk up behind him, he's in the bathroom with the door locked. So I waited.

-

"Luke?" I speak through the door. He hasn't been out for about 5 minutes and I'm starting to get worried, like he's depressed again.

"Lucas?" I knew he hates me calling him that, but still, he hasn't replied. I decided to get a key from his set. It worked, but he must've been blocking the door.

"Luke open the door." I sigh.

I hear weeping from the room, Luke wasn't fine.

"Lukey? Come on, open up." I'm trying to be as sweet as I can. I'm leaning on the door now, I gave up minutes later. There was no way luke was opening that door. I stand up and walk into the bedroom, and sit down for a bit. Moments later luke comes out with red eyes, from crying I suppose.

"I-I-"

I cut him off. "It's fine luke." I stand up and hug him. "I want you to be happy. But it's difficult." I explain.

He nods. "I love you so much." He kisses my head.

"I love you the way you are." I let go, and kiss him on the lips. He holds on to me for longer, out lips didn't disconnect at all. I'm holding his body near mine and he's cupping my face with his warm hands. I hated seeing luke this way.

-

Moments later we walked downstairs and sat on the couch. I didn't know why or how Luke is depressed all of a sudden again, but I'm not going to question, because he'll for sure get upset again.

"Ell?"

"Mhm?" I nod, telling him to talk.

"Never mind." He sits up.

I sigh. "What's wrong?"

His head digs into his hands, with his head shaking. "Nothing."

"Your lying." I spit out.

His eyes interact with mine again. "I'm not sure I can do this anymore."

"What do you-" I stop and think. Stop this relationship. That's what he's worried about. "Oh." My eyes look away.

"I don't know anymore ell. I'm so sorry."

"I-It's okay."

"It's not ell, I don't want to leave you it's just my depression." He states.

I nod agreeing with him. "It's fine really. Maybe I'll leave you alone for a -"

"No don't leave." His hand touches my lap holding me down. "I need you."

I smile. "Luke, I should go." I try sitting up again. But he just keeps holding me down. "Luke." I say.

"No, your not going anywhere." Luke lips trail down my neck knowing I'd stay if this happened. My head fell to the side as his warm lips travelled down. He smiles.

"I love you, and I know I'm not leaving you." His hands hold my waist and he pulls me in, his lips connect with mine, and well.... We're having our moment.
