Luke's point of view:

Sydney, Australia. Probably the most beautiful place on the planet. Aside from my bed.        "What are you thinking about goldilocks?" He asks, I glance at him. "Why do you ask?" He shrugs. Ashton lays down next to me and stares up at the ceiling, mimicking my position. Ashton moved in about a week ago, the family that adopted him died in a car crash about a year ago. He was living on his own but once he started going to university again he asked if he could stay with Jack and I and of course Jack was okay with it seeing as though Ashton is my only friend. 

He frowns. "Ya know, we should go to Melbourne," he says. I turn to look at him as though he's a crazy man. "Uh, and why the hell would we go there Ashton?" I say sternly, he knows I never want to go back there. "I mean," he turns to me. "I know you hate it there but we used to live there Luke. You know, our friends are there," He says almost cautiously. "Your friends, not mine. And if you seriously think I'm going to visit him you're on something else Ashton, my life is finally going great, I don't need more drama," I grumble and lay back down. He sighs, "Fine, but can we at least go see Calum?" He whispers, I nod. 

We finally agreed that we'd go in a week. It's for Ashton. He needs to see him, and Calum needs to see him.

*wack* The fuck. *wack wack wack* "Get up shit head, I'm taking you to school," Ashton said, I groaned and thew my extra pillow at him. There's nothing I hate more than being surrounded by horny teenagers and grumpy adults. It's not that people don't like me, they just all pretend to adore me and it pisses me of on so many levels. It's probably the lip ring.

"Come on Lucas, Melbourne can't be that bad," Lupita said as she curled her platinum hair around her finger. I rolled my eyes and Ethan giggled.

"Whatcha giggling at shit head," Lupita snapped, Ethan shrugged as he signed something to her. 'Stop being a bitch Lupe' These two I swear. I felt a presence right next to me and smiled, it was Nicholas and Nicole, also siblings, well twins. 

"Look guys, if Melbourne is bad to Luke, it's bad to Luke. Whether he's a drama queen or not, we must support him," Nick cheekily said, I shook my head and shoved a bite of pasta in my mouth. Lupita smiled at me and shook her head. Nicole nudged her brother. They all knew why I didn't like Melbourne, I knew they were only trying to convince me to keep and open mind but how am I supposed to get over what Mi-

"Richard at 3 o'clock" Lupita murmerd, we all turned our heads and saw the tall asshole walking through the cafeteria, Ethan looked down and covered his head, I pulled Nicole close to me and Nick wrapped his arm around Lupita. It was our daily routine, keep the girls close so the assholes backed off. Except, today was different, we were missing one piece of our routine, and Richard seemed to notice. Ethan quickly signed 'Don't say anything Luke ' , I nodded. He knew me so well. 

Lupita looked up and smirked, " Right on time, as always," she said, the smirk never coming off her face. Nicholas smiled and sat next to me again. Alan sat down next to her and nodded at Ethan, we looked up and noticed Richard had stopped in his tracks. Ethan laughed, and the Lupe laughed, and then the twins, and finally Alan and I. The table of laughing lunatics.

"Hey Hemmo, " I smiled, I felt a tap on my shoulder and I swiftly turned around, my face being oddly close to his. "I heard you were going Melbourne next week." He said shyly, God he's so cute. "A-And I was wondering if you maybe wanted c-company." Alan said, his foot scratching the floor. I humed, I nudged him as to say 'walk me to class'. Now, it might sound like we're a thing but we're more like... really loving friends. Yeah. Like... and old married couple. 

"So... Do y-" "Let me ask Ashton first, he might say no since he'll probably force me to go visit some old friends. But I'm personally saying yes." I walked off but I could here him saying yes in excitement.

"Come on Ash, you have to let him come with us," I said following him around, he stopped,          "I don't have to do anything  Luke. We are visiting family, understood?" he snapped. I stomped my foot down, "No. I will not go without him. Understood?" I snapped back, he threw his towel down on the ground and walked out of the kitchen, "Fine, he can come, but you can make your own damn pasta!" he screamed. 

I heard a crunch behind me, I turned around and saw my brothers, Jack had a piece of celery he was chewing on. "So, a) Why is he being so salty about you taking a friend and b) why do you even want to take someone?" Ben asked as he picked up the towel and continued to make the pasta. "Remember Luke's ex?" Jack said, biting his celery. Ben made a sound as though to say 'Oh I understand now', I rolled my eyes and sat at the island. "We never dated. Either way, I refuse to see that piece of-" "Marinara or Alfredo?" Ben quickly asked, I pointed at the jar of marinara and he nodded.

I knocked on Ashton's door, he responded with a hum so I walked in. He looked up at me from his bed then looked back down to his book, I sighed and nudged him so he could scoot over, I went under the covers and laid my head on his shoulder. He set his book down and clapped his hands, the lights turning off automatically.  I felt him pull me close and he wrapped his arms around me and ran his hands through my hair. I smiled and traced patterns into his chest.

"Luke, I want you to try and..." "Not right now, please Ashton, forget about it. I can't, not yet."  I whispered, he stopped speaking. He knew I was right. I was on terrible terms with Michael, I can't be around someone who kept me from my brother. He broke our trust.
