The Proposal (5Sos Version)

Dos

Ashanti's POV

another night here at the hospital.

Another night changing wound dressings, clearing bed sheets, giving medicine.

Trust me I love this job. I've always wanted to do this since I was a little girl. I always had this nurse type personality if that makes sense. I was always there to help someone if they were hurt or if they needed help with something.

"Hey Ash I'm clocking out." My co-worker Tabitha said to me.

I shook my head and looked back at the computer scrolling for more nursing gigs. My thoughts were interrupted by a shadow blocking my view.

"Sir if you could-"

I looked up to see the one and only Luke Hemmings from High school. The one who made me leave Australia in the first place.

"What the hell are you doing here!" I whispered/yelled.

He sighed and chuckled.

"I need you for something." His blue eyes looking into mine.

There was no way in hell I was going to help Luke with anything after what he did to me.

Luke was about 3 years older than me so when I was a freshman he was a senior, Luke always teased me during school calling me short, fat, weird. All those lovely names to make a girl swoon. I ignored it until one day he told everyone at school I had crabs.

Can you believe it! Me! A freshman! Crabs! No ma'am. It went around the school like a rapid fire causing girls and guys to bully me. The girls would throw their sushi at me saying that my cooch smelled "fishy". Boys wouldn't talk to me because they believed this stupid lie. So I left. Not just school but the whole country all together.

I shook my head "No, no I'm not doing whatever you need me to do, now if you could kindly leave."

I got up and grabbed my clipboard getting ready to do rounds, as I walked away I heard him yell this.

"I'll pay you $50,000!"

I stopped in my tracks and turned around walking towards him.

"#1 this is a hospital and it's 1:30am, #2 I don't care how much fucking money you pay me to do whatever it is. I'm never associating myself with you." I said getting up in his face.

As I turned away he grabbed my arm.

"I really need your help, your the only person I know that needs money."

I yanked my arm off of him.

"That is exactly the reason why I left, and that is exactly the reason why I won't help you. You downgraded me for a whole year Luke, you the reason why I got bullied all the time, the reason why girls were 10x more meaner to me. So get out." I said walking to my first room.

I felt my eyes get watery as I remembered everything he put me through. All the abuse I put up with.

————————-

After finishing up my rounds I headed downstairs for a smoke break. Yes I smoke deal with it.

As I walk outside I see Luke sitting on a bench vaping.

"Why are you stalking me!" I yelled walking over to him.

He didn't move, he just sat there looking into the distance.

"Same attitude as I remember." He chuckled taking a hit from his vape.

"Listen Ash, I really need your help....if you could help me this one time, I'd be so greatful." He said looking up at me with puppy eyes.

"I'll pay you $100,000." 

I lifted my head up and my eyes went wide. That was whole paycheck for 2 years.

"O-One-"

"One hundred thousand dollars angel." He smirked at me.

That was a lot of money. I need it to pay off my apartment and all the bills that came along with it.

"Listen, you don't have to decide today but if you want to here's my number." He scribbled down his number on a piece of paper.

He handed it to me and strolled away.

$100,000, to do what though? Why me? Was this some kind of joke he wanted to play on me? I haven't spoken to Luke since high school, he treated me like shit but is offering a huge amount of cash to to lord knows what. I mean people change right?
