Ashton's POV :

I furrowed my eyebrows at Luke but his father ripped us out of our staring.

"Luke, sit down!" Luke gulped and nodded before he sat down. I turned around and walked into the kitchen. My mom was standing there and held two plates with lasagna in her hand. I looked at her and thought about if I should ask if she knew something but decided against it so I just took the other two plates and we walked back into the dining room.

Luke sat there staring at the table with an emotionless look and I swear I saw a small tear in the corner of his eye. Ryan looked normal. He smiled and thanked my mom as she set the plate in front of him. I set one plate in front of Luke and smiled at him as he looked up.

A small blush appeared on his cheecks but I ignored it. As my mom and Ryan talked about work, friends and that stuff Luke and I just ate in an awkward silence.

"I uh.. i kinda talk-" Suddenly I felt my phone vibrate so i held a finger up and Luke stopped talking. I pulled out my phone and saw I had a message from Isaac.

We could actually communicate. He had some app where he could 'speak' his messages what was funny because sometimes there were a few really strange mistakes in it.

[From: Issy]

I have the confess something.

Something inside my stomach turned around.

What's it going to be?

I tried to be funny to make the situation a bit less awkward.

[To: Issy]

You hooked up with someone??

Almost immediately he answered with something that made me really mad.

[From: Issy]

I talked to Luke.

My head shot up towards Luke. He was sitting there with his head down and fiddling with his fingers.

My face became red as I thought about what Luke could plan on doing to Isaac after that poor boy trusted him. Slowly I rose from my chair and finally Luke looked up. His eyes widened as he saw the anger in my eyes.

"How could you dare to talk to my friends?!" His face became pale and he gulped. "You did shit to me", I walked over to him. "And if you ever try to do anything to only one of my friends", I put my finger on his chest and our faces were only inches away from each other. "Then I'll do things to you, you'd never want to experience. You'd regret it."

Again he gulped and nodded before I turned around fastly and directly looked into my mothers mad eyes. I stomped out of the room, up the stairs and into my room where I slammed the door shut before I sat down on my bed and crossed my arms in front of my chest. After a while I heard a knock on my door and before I could say something my mom came in and let me tell you, she didn't look happy at all.

"Ashton! What was that?!" I stared at her blankly and shrugged. "You're grounded for a week." I ignored her and pulled out my phone but that was a mistake because she came over to me and took it away from me. "Have fun, honey." Then she went out of my room and slammed my door shut.

"Have fun, honey.." I imitated her and then just let out a huff. This is going to be a hard week.

Luke's POV :

I was sat on my bed because when I came home my dad was furious.

I didn't want that to happen. Actually I liked Ashton, as a friend of course, but it seemed like he really, truly, hated me.

I was playing with the hole in my jeans as I heard loud footsteps coming up the stairs. I panicked and tried to creep into the last corner of my room. I sat there with my legs pulled to my chest. My door was opened and my dad stood in the room. His face looked dark red and his fists were clenched.

"You're pathetic. How could you embarrass me so bad?!" My whole body was shaking.

"I-I'm sorry, dad, I-I-" before I could finish my sentence I felt a sharp pain in my cheek. And again, my dad slapped me. I looked up to him with tears in my eyes.

"P-please, dad.." For only a half second I saw his face soften a bit before it went hard again.

"SHUT UP!" He pulled me towards him on my hair. A cry left my mouth. He's never done that before. "You're so weak, Lucas. I wish you were never born!"

That hurt.

It truly hurt.

I lay on the floor while my dad kicked me rapidly and told me how worthless I was. I didn't even care anymore. I knew it.

When Ryan was done he stomped out of my room and I just lay there for a few more minutes before I actually tried to move. I thought of all the people who I could call now because I felt like I needed some company. Then someone came to my mind.

My old best friend and ex girlfriend Sami. We dated until she had to move to the other end of Australia. We still were really close though. I dialed her number and waited. Then she picked up.

"Lucifer! We didn't talk in such a long time!" I smiled at her voice.

"Hey, I miss you." I looked at the ground and fiddled with the hem of my shirt.

"I miss you, too, but I'm in Sydney today, we could meet up now!" My smile grew as I nodded even if she didn't see me.

"Yes! Oh my god, where are you?" I heard her close a door and then she talked again.

"I'm at me grandparents'. You remembered where this is, right? Well, I'll see you, Lucifer!" Of course I remembered. We always used to go there when we were younger.

"I'll be there in about 15 minutes." Then I hung up. I let a breath out and grinned. Slowly I stood up so my body wouldn't hurt too much. I put my phone in my pocket, took my jacket and climbed put of the window carefully.

5 minutes into the walk I felt my phone vibrate but ignored it becomes it probably was Calum but it wasn't. I should've known it.

[From: Ryan]

Ill find you and youll regret leaving.
