|| Luke's POV ||
Ashton and I sit on the couch the rest of the night. We talk about anything and everything. I learned that he likes playing the drums and that he has already graduated from high school. I told him I play guitar and that I'm a senior at Jefferson High school. We bonded over our love for All Time Low, Blink-182, Tyler Oakley and Green Day. By the time Michael's house is empty, its 6 am and I'm exhausted. Ashton fell asleep on my shoulder around 4 and I wake him up to go home.
"Hey, Ash its 6 am you should probably get home. I can drive you if you want. Brook left." He jolts awake and looks confused for a second.
"Ok. Let me just go to the bathroom real quick." he says, getting up and rushing towards the toilet. I get up off the couch, trying to find Cal or Mikey to tell them I'm leaving. I search everywhere, eventually finding Michael sleeping outside on in the backyard completely naked. wow. what the hell did I miss last night? I think to myself. I kick him lightly. "Michael wake the fuck up. I'm leaving." He groans.
"Don't forget to clean up before your mom gets home tonight!" I yell, making my way back into the house. I find Ashton and we get in my car and I start it up and drive out of Michael's neighborhood.
"What's your address?" I ask.
"1028 Shannon Court." He says quietly. His mood has definitely changed majorly since our talk.
"What's wrong, Ash?" I ask, worried.
"Nothing. I'm fine." He mumbles as I pull up to his house. He gets out quickly and shouts a thank you as he walks up to his front door. I wait to pull away until he's safely in his house. Driving off, I can't help but think of the blonde haired boy.
----------------------------------------------------
When I get home I mentally curse at myself. Mom is probably already up for work and knows I was out all night. And I didn't ask to leave. I brace myself and walk in my house.
"LUCAS ROBERT HEMMINGS WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?! DID YOU GET A GIRL PREGNANT? BECAUSE I SWEAR TO GO-"
"MOM!" I cut her off.
"I did not get a girl pregnant last night. I was over at Michael's. he had a small, key word, small party."
"Why didn't you ask to leave then? Hmm? We're his parents there?"
I can't lie about this one. Michael and mines families are close friends. I sigh. "No..." She gives me a stern look.
"Go up to your room and get some sleep. you look exhausted. I'm going to work." She tells me and kisses my head.
"I love you mom. Have a nice day at work." I say, making my way upstairs to my room. The moment my head hits the pillow I'm out like a light, my dreams clouded with concerts and a certain blonde haired boy.
|| Ashton's POV ||
I walked in my house expecting the worst. My alcoholic mother was passed out on the couch and I let out a small, quiet breath of release. I tiptoed to my room, Shutting the door quietly, careful not to wake my mum up. If I woke her up it would be bad. I mean, she would beat me if I woke her up. So I slipped into bed hoping sleep will come soon. I fell asleep, my dreams poisoned with nightmares of the the past.
I was woken up to the sound of sobbing and glass breaking. Meaning it was probably night time and my mum was having one of her breakdowns. I had a routine for when this happens. So I got up, locking the door and pushing my dresser in front of it. I grabbed my back pack, filling it with a change of clothes, my wallet that had my life savings in it, my charger and my phone. I crawled out of my window easily, since our house is only one story. I collected myself and began walking to Brooke's. She lives about 4 blocks away and is the only one who knows the truth about my home life. Her mom is like the one I never had. They take me in whenever my mum gets out of control. They let me stay in their guest room. So when I got to Brooke's I just Walked in quietly and went up stairs to the room. I tried to sleep but I couldn't considering I just woke up. I checked the time on my phone, 12 am. Wow I slept over 12 hours. I noticed I had a text from a random number, sent about an hour ago.
*Hey ash, this is Luke. *
I laughed. He actually texted me. I thought I scared him away.
*hi lukey. how are you?*
I texted back. Maybe he will be my friend.
