Him 💕

Chapter 13

          ~TIME CHANGE~A MONTH AFTER PROM~
•Luke's POV•
I woke with my arms wrapped around Ashton,I pulled him closer. It was Saturday so I didn't have to worry about being late but the tiny bit of anxiety was still there. I fell back asleep for another 10 minutes before being woke up by Ashton sitting up. I heard silent small sobs, I shot up.
"Babe?" I said almost being swallowed by fear.
"Yes?" He replied softly.
"What's wrong? Are you okay? Should I be worried?" I said sitting next to him.
"I'm fine babe, just some anxiety" He said with a slight chuckle.
"Are you sure, Ashton?" I said leaning my head against his shoulder while softly moving my fingers around on his arm.
He looked at me, stared into my eyes and kissed my forehead.
"I promise" he said.
I thought in my head that saying "I promise" was kind of our thing..we always said it. I checked my phone, it was almost 1:00 PM.
"I'm bored" I said yawning.
"Same...what to go to-" I cut his words off
"Mikeys?" I said laughing.
Ashton giggled and nodded his head. I got up, Ashton doing the same. I grabbed his hand as we walked downstairs. Most days my mom worked all week, not that she has to it's just she likes to work..I hope. My mom doesn't address the pain, after my dad left she kept everything bottled up really. She likes to help people more than herself, almost to much. Every time I asked her if we were struggling with money or if I offered to get a job to help she always said no. She always tells me to "spend my childhood days" but..honestly I'm ready to grow up and make big decisions on my life, hopefully with Ashton. Me and Ashton being 18 scares me, because what if me and Ashton don't last? But, what if we do? What if I spend the rest of my life with him? I figured I would think about that a different day. We walked out of the house, walking down the street. We had nothing rushing us, it was nice. Throughout us just walking around I couldn't stop thinking about earlier, would I spend my life with Ash? I think it was obvious I wanted too. It randomly hit me, we graduate it 2 weeks.
"Ashton!" I said somewhat frantic
"What?" He said quickly
"We graduate in two weeks!" I said jumping in excitement
He laughed while putting his arms around my neck, kissing me. As soon as he connected our lips, I knew I wanted to spend my life with him. We walked to the park, around town and then decided to actually walk to Mikey's.
When we got there I knocked on the door, hoping for a reaction. The door swung open to an annoyed Mikey.
"Wrong time?" Ashton said nervously
"No it's fine I was playing video games and you interrupted my game." He said opening the door wider inviting us in.
"Sorry" I said
He didn't say anything, me and Ashton sat on the couch. Calum walked into the house, shocked to see us.
"Hey guys! I got pizza!" He said smiling.

•Ashton's POV•
Me, Luke, Michael, and Calum we're sitting on the couch joking about graduating. I guess over time I gradually got bad social anxiety. Whenever I'm anxious I stop talking, sometimes touch my hair or put my hands on my face. Luke has gotten super good at detecting whenever I'm having bad anxiety, about to have a panic attack and so on. Right now my anxiety wasn't being very nice, I was rubbing my face, touching my hair and started shaking. Calum and Michael walked into the kitchen, Luke took one look at me and knew what was wrong.
"He guys, were going to get going, nice seeing you, bye!" He said rushing me outside.
We sat down on Michaels steps in front of his house. He buried me into his chest, hugging me tightly.
"It's going to be okay, your going to be okay." He said rocking back in fourth. I couldn't really repay him for everything he's done for me, besides love him more than I already do. Which seemed impossible. When me and Luke got home I went to the pantry to see if I could get a snack. I walked out with nothing, in not usually a picky eater but I was when it came to sweets. I checked to see the time. 3:30 PM, I was shocked at the time. I didn't know we stayed that long an Michaels! Luke's mom walked through the door. She smiled and waved to me, I quickly said hi and went up to Luke's room. I felt like sleeping until the morning and that's what I intended on doing. I was laying on Luke's bed when we came through the door.
"I feel like sleeping" I said.
"No, don't" He said while sitting on the floor.
"Why?" I said in an annoyed tone.
"Because Ashton, you cant sleep your life away. That's how you become depressed and I won't let you become depressed." He said looking up at me.
I rolled my eyes.
"I'm just looking out for you, and you know that." He got up and walked towards me, I did nothing but look up towards him. He put his hands on my hips and kissed me. I giggled and kissed him back. I wanted to spend my life with him.
