X's POV

I watched as Luke walked hand in hand with Ashton, the anger growing inside of me because he shouldn't be with Ashton. It wasn't tight. Luke should only be with me and I do accept that it was somewhat my fault for not telling Luke who I was sooner but I thought that Luke would wait a little bit longer to get with anyone because I did tell him he would find out who I was.

The idea of telling him not didn't sound as appealing because I knew he wouldn't give me a chance now he was with Ashton and so I guess the only way I would have a chance is if the pair on them split up. Yet I wasn't quite sure how to do that and if it'd work.

Sighing, I slipped away from the place I was stood and made my way to the classroom I was supposed to be in just so I wouldn't be late, the image of the couple not leaving my head. My frustration was growing throughout the lesson and it was a struggle to hold my emotions in, it became even harder when I saw the pair later in the day and this time they were kissing. Kissing.

Liking someone you know is with someone else is the worst feeling in the world, it's like your heart is being ripped out everytime you see them with their boyfriend and it hurts a damn lot. Though I think kissing is the worst for creating this feeling and it feels wrong, like they should not be kissing anyone that isn't you.

Basically, Luke shouldn't be kissing anyone that wasn't me even if he didn't know that. That may sound creepy to others but to me it was true because in my head, Luke was mine and only mine. Ashton was the newbie who had wormed his way in, he came out of nowhere and just like that he managed to sweep Luke off his feet enough to be able to be the one kissing him. I just wished I could do that.

However, because I was angry and frustrated, I decided to write Luke a note for him to find in his locker. The basics of it were that I didn't think he and Ashton should be together, I thought I'd just make it clear to Luke that I wasn't giving up on hope of having him, this message was also for Ashton because Luke would no doubt share the note with Ashton.

I wrote the note during lunch and I waited patiently for the bell to go and for everyone to leave the corridor before I made my move to place the note in the locker. Looking around for the 3rd time, I had to make sure absolutely no one saw me before I slipped the note through the slit in the top of the locker.

Once I'd done, I quickly slipped away from the locker and made my way to the room I was supposed to be in.

Smirking, I got a little excited to see Luke read the note because I wanted to see his reaction. He needed to know that he was mine and I was not going to let Ashton have him without making it difficult.

Luke's POV

"Ashton!" I shouted just as he was about to leave the school building.

He spun around rather quickly at the call of his name and his eyes found me because shooting me a confused Luke but waiting by the door so I could catch up with him.

"What's wrong?" He asked once I caught up with him, he could see the somewhat scared look on my face and so was obviously a little concerned.

"I got a note." I said and his eyes widened slightly before asking me if he could read it, I handed it to him and his eyes immediately started scanning over it.

"This person is weird." Ashton said once he'd finished reading.

"I'm a little freaked out to be honest, Ash." I admitted.

"Is it because they say they knows stuff about you that I don't?"

"Well yeah because isn't that like basically stalking? I mean I know they've been watching me but I don't do anything in school for them to know anything other than the basics and I pretty much told you everything about me." I started to fiddle with my fingers and bite my lip.

"Hey, don't get worried alright? Ok yes, that is stalking really but I'm here and so are Calum and Michael, we'll protect you."

"I know, just feeling creeped out is all."

"That is understandable but I'm here, you can always come to me." Ashton said before bringing me into a hug which I welcomed greatly. I felt safe in Ashton's arms and I didn't really want that feeling to end.

"Thanks, Ash." I said whilst still in the hug.

Pulling away, he said, "Don't thank me because I'd be a shit boyfriend if I wasn't here for you right now."

Smiling, I said an 'ok' before Ashton grabbed my hand and told me we were going to his house.

Despite me feeling happy at Ashton saying he'd protect me, etc, I couldn't shake the uncomfortable feeling I had and it didn't help that I had the feeling that I was being watched. I was going to tell Ashton but I don't think he'd take much notice after I already told him I felt scared.

However, I was practically forced to tell Ashton when the feeling wouldn't go away as we walked to Ashton's. 

------------------

A/N: I mashed 2 chapters together because I couldn't make either of them long enough to have a separate chapter so now they're joined.

I left this on a small cliffhanger I guess but it's because I'm going to have some 'action' (if you can even call it that) in the next chapter where they get close to 'x' so I hope you stick around for that and I hope I can deliver it well.

Updates may be quicker but I have difficultly writing this story a lot so I guess it depends.
