the four boys were never ones to go out and do much. they liked to stay inside all day, watching movies together and such. they once had plans to try and become famous, but that failed when their youtube channel got close to no attention.
so there they were one night, three out of four curled up on the couch, watching a scary movie. ashton had gone upstairs instead, claiming that he didn't want to get nightmares.
once the movie had ended though, luke really wished he had joined ashton. there was no doubt in his mind that he was going to sleep terribly that night, and all because of one two hour film. so he walked upstairs quietly, not wanting to disturb the other lads that had fell asleep on the couch in the middle of the movie.
when he got to ashton's room, he pulled out his phone before walking in. he definitely didn't want to wake up the lad, but he felt quite afraid. so he checked the time, hoping that it was early enough to visit the shorter boy.
but no, it was 1:07 a.m.
probably way too late to be walking in, but luke couldn't bring himself to care. the blonde expected the light off and for ashton to be in bed, but when he opened the door, that wasn't the case at all. his light was on and the bed was empty, so luke walked forward towards the lad's bathroom, which had the door shut.
luke could hear the faucet running, so he figured that ashton was most likely just washing his face. knocking on the door gently, he opened his mouth to speak. "ashton, are you decent?"
when he got no response though, he tried the door, finding it unlocked. ashton sat on the closed toilet seat, a small blade in his hand. luke quickly rushed in, pulling the metal out of ash's hand in a not so gentle way. not that he was trying to hurt the lad, but he wanted it gone as soon as possible.
"stand up," luke whispered slowly, voice quite raspy from the process of forming tears. ashton fortunately obeyed, and luke quickly dropped the object into the toilet, not hesitating to flush it down.
"w-why would you do that, luke? that was my only form of relief," ashton whispered out, tears forming in his eyes as well.
luke took a few steps forward, taking one of ash's arms in his hand softly. he looked at the new marks on the curly haired lad's arm, shaking his head softly. the next action surprised ashton greatly, which was simply the act of luke wrapping his arms around him tightly.
"you don't deserve that, ashton. no one deserves that." he pulled back slightly to plant soft kisses on ash's face, making the older lad's heart flutter just a bit. the small kisses traveled down ashton's face until luke got to his boyfriend's lips, pressing his own to ashton's softly. it was short, chaste, and sweet, causing a loved feeling to surge through the older lad.
ashton looked to the window, thinking about all the possibilities of what the outside world had in store for him. none of them seemed good. "i want to jump," ashton whispered with such confidence, it almost sounded to luke like it was a fact.
"you can't jump. it's not worth it, ashton. mike calum and i all love you, and what about your parents? they love you too. there's so much to live for." luke spoke, but he knew that ashton wasn't going to change his mind.
"please, luke. i need it."
the blonde looked down, biting his lip gently. a few tears leaked from his eyes and ran down onto his face, but he couldn't care. thinking of things to say that may possibly make ash think differently, luke suddenly spoke up. "if you jump, i jump."
"what? no, that's not fair! you have so much more to do. maybe without me you can finally do that band thing with mike and cal. i'm not worth it, luke, but you are."
"i don't care. i want to leave too, especially if you're doing it. my whole life i've felt pain inside, but then you came, and you took that away. there's no point if you're gone. you jump, i jump."
ashton nodded, "fine then," his voice was barely a whisper, "are you ready to go?"
luke nodded, leading ash outside of the bathroom, onto their balcony. he took a glance at his boyfriend before looking down at the ground.
"we're going to hold hands, right?" ashton asked hopefully. luke nodded in response, taking ashton's hand in his own. they then moved towards where the opening for the ladder was, considering it was an apartment building, and that was for access in case of an emergency.
"you jump, i jump." luke repeated, pressing yet another kiss to ashton's forehead.
then, as ashton took the jump off of the edge, luke let go of his hand.
and luke watched as ashton fell down and down, slowly almost, until he hit the ground.
then the blonde stood there with a smirk, looking at the boy who's life he just took.
"you jump, i jump." luke repeated. "oh ashton, what a fool."
but of course, luke had to act like he was greatly hurt. like he actually cared about ash. so he ran downstairs after making himself fake cry, shaking awake the two sleeping boys.
then they found out what had happened to ashton, minus the part about luke not jumping as well.
the police came, as well as a team of detectives, and there only answer was that the boy did in fact commit suicide. they would've asked more questions if they hadn't found the blade on the counter of the bathroom, or the cuts on ashton's wrists.
so luke got away with it. he got away with a murder, that the victim had practically set up for himself.
