Weightless (lashton au)

Chapter eleven

Ok just to clear things up Ashton didn't exactly get raped by his uncle because he got away before anything serious could happen that ugly bitch ain't putting his stick up anyone's hole if u know what I mean ;)))) *coughs awkwardly* *chokes*

Also I'm so confused because my most popular fanfic is probably my worst?!?!

Man I have so many gut wrenching things planned for this story but idk if I can do it because I just read a fanfic where Luke ends up getting in a motorcycle crash and he DIES AND ASHTON CANT LIVE WITH HIMSELF SO HE KILLED HIMSELF AND WTF YHAT STORY WAS SO CUTE THO LUKE CALLED ASHTON PRINCESS AND THEY LOVED EACH OTHER SO MUCH AND IT WAS SO CUTE MAN AND IT JUST

And don't you dare say we can just be friends.

I'm not some boy that you can sway,

We knew it'd happen eventually."

Luke's POV

Calum didn't take things so well at first.

"Where the fuck have you been the last couple days? Shit, Luke, I was convinced that you died-"

I winced at his words, although I knew this would happen.

The second I walked through the damn door of the record shop, Calum hasn't stopped rambling about how he thought I got killed or abducted by aliens of some sort.

"Calum, let me explain-" I was immediately cut off as Calum huffed from behind the counter.

"No. Luke you can't just-" I glared, breathing a bit heavily in annoyance as I quickly stopped him mid-sentence.

"I swear I have a valid and important reason why I couldn't be here. Just hear me out, dammit!" Calum quieted down a bit at my raised voice, staring at me expectantly with his shiny, puppy dog eyes.

I took that as an invitation to explain myself, so I gulped nervously and began.

"Well, uh-so y'know, like I know this boy and he, I mean he's amazing and he has this uncle and um, I just..." I fiddled with my fingers, avoiding eye contact. Calum looked annoyed and exasperated as he exclaimed,

"Just spit it out, I don't have time for this Luke!" I internally scoffed; Calum really did have the time, where else would he be?

I felt as though Calum and I were taking turns from being annoyed to being quiet, but my awkwardness that seemed to have incased my every word melted away as the thought of Ashton made my brain go haywire.

But I was silent for a moment, because where do I even start?

"Since you really need to fucking know, his name is Ashton and ever since I met him, well, you don't need to know how I did, do you?" The words were jumbled and although the question was rhetorical, Calum slowly shook his head. I didn't think Ashton would want me to go off telling people about how he attempted suicide.

"Ashton is-he's my everything and since I came out as gay to you hopefully that didn't sound too weird-but his home life is fucking horrible, his uncle is honestly a piece of shit and I'm always living in fear for Ashton when he has to go home and home should be an escape, a good place to be shouldn't it? But for him it's not, Cal, and Ashton doesn't deserve the bullshit he goes through and I always used to look forward to when I got to leave here and visit him at the library and it's so endearing that he never expects me to want to actually see him when I obviously want to be with him all the damn time and I thought I could protect him but I can't, I fucking can't because during the past few days things have been out of my control because his uncle hurt him and I didn't stop it and I hate it I hate it-"
