Young Love (Luke Hemmings)

Chapter 35

I have been thinking lately about what has been going on recently.

Everything is different now but somehow i feel numb and emotionless.

I never thought i would be hurting this much.

I love Luke don't get me wrong but he hurt me really bad.

I am scared of what is going to happen.

I love Ashton and Luke both so much.....but its just time to let go.

I cant let anything like this happen again.

I have to be strong. not only for myself but for what could happen in the future.

I picked up my phone and called Ashton.

"Hello" he said on the other side of the line.

"Hey, Ash i need to talk to you. could you come over maybe?"

"Sure, i will be there shortly"

As i was waiting for him i decided to make some coffee, hopefully it can wake me up a bit.

I set the coffee maker on and walked to my living room switching the tv on.

I switched through the channels until i found that 'The Goonies' were on which is my all time fav movie.

Within 10 minutes i heard a knock.

I lazily got up from the couch and opened the door.

"Hey what do you wanna talk about, Love" he called me love i felt my heart flutter but i covered it up with remembering why he was here.

"Ashton, just come in the kitchen i am making coffee"

"Okay" he chuckled.

We made our way to the kitchen and i coughed before i spoke.

"Ashton, look i love you a lot and i know you care and i know you understand. but listen. i cant let anything like this happen again. i care about you but i think we should just be friends. and Luke..... i feel the same way about him. i don't wanna be involved with a relationship. I just cant."

I finished.

Ashton sat there emotionless.

"Hello?"

"Ash?"

"Steph... i am sorry but you think what we had was Love? it was a Lie just like every damn thing that comes in my life"

I tensed up.

"Just remember you put this on yourself" he spoke harshly in my ear while he walked to the front door and slammed it.

I felt a tear go down my cheek.

"What does he mean?"
