Long Way Home [Lashton bxb] ✔️

THE USUAL [CHAP.56]

Luke's POV

It was Friday afternoon when everything happened so fast and I ended up holding the shaking boy trying my best to calm him down. 

So before this thing happened, we were basically going to his house to give her mum a little visit and take some things that he left here. We arrived at around 11 if I look at the clock correctly. At first, everything was still fine and we didn't even suspect something like this would happen. Around 2 PM, his mum asked his brother to go buy a chicken. Not the one that still alive, the dead one. His brother asked Ashton for his company and he quickly says 'no'. He made fun of Ash's decision but Ash just shrugged him off. He was scrolling on his phone when I was just staring at him not bothering to pull out my phone or did something else, well he's just so beautiful and perfect in every way and I can't stop thanking God for making me meet him that day.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer." He said still not looking away from his phone. I blushed at his comment but didn't move and just keep staring at him.

After about probably 10 minutes his brother came back bringing the plastic of the chicken in. He gave it to Ashton and he quickly jumped away.

"What's wrong with you?" His brother asked playing all innocent. We all know about his phobia so it's no use if his brother wants to play it like he knew nothing.

"Get that plastic away from me. The blood gonna be drippin' down." He said backing away slowly.

"What the hell? It's just blood, nothing big to worry or scared about." His brother said shoving the plastic towards his way. He hid behind me while I try to cover him. I gave his brother a 'look' and he finally gave up. He gave it to Ash's mum and we thought he left. I let go of him and he leaned onto the walls near the door while I went to grab a glass.

Ash's mum pulled out the chicken from the plastic and I can clearly see the blood's dripping down. She smiled a little evilly for my likes and shoves the piece of meat into Ash's face. He yelped loudly and out of nowhere his brother already behind him holding him so he can't go anywhere.

I put the glass down while he was screaming and scratching him mum hands. I guess he bit his brother's hands and I saw him kick his brother before running upstairs and slammed the door. I gave the two another 'look' and follow him.

"Ashy? Can you please lemme in?" I said knocking the door softly. There's no movement's noise so I knock harder.

"Honey, can you please unlock the door?" I asked again. The door unlocks soon and he falls into my arms sobbing hysterically. I closed the door behind me and lock his door again before carrying him onto his bed. I keep saying soothing words and ruffled his hair slowly trying to make his sob died down.

There was a knock on his door and we both heard his brother calling for him. I keep ignoring it and telling him to do the same. His sobbed died down minutes later but he's still shaking.

"Everything will be fine 'kay? What about we take some trip and just have some fun? I can call Jordan to bring his motorbike and our helm then we can have a trip with two motorbikes. How's that sound?" I asked calmly.

"I can't drive. My hands.. my hands. They're shaking."

"Calm yourself, love, you'll do great," I said trying to reassuring him. He nodded his head trying his best to stop the shaking. He clenched my shirt tightly and hiding his face in the crook of my neck. I kiss his hair rapidly trying to make it easier for him.

Once he calmed down, we packed our chargers and his laptop along with mine. He put it in his little bag and I insist that I'd be the one that carried it. I called Jordan again and he didn't answer. Maybe he was already on his way. I send him a text saying he better wait for us at the end of the road instead of at Ash's home and telling him that I'll bring the car.

I got a text 15minutes later saying he was already there, so we made our way downstairs. Ashton looking around nervously when I tried to calm him down. He grabs his motorbike key and walked out of his house safely. I saw his mum just get out of the bathroom once I closed the door and from the little window, I see no regret on her face.

I know that he has a phobia about animal's blood and we all know that, but seems like his family didn't take it seriously. I also saw his brother in the backyard doing something I don't wanna know and his face showing the same as Ashton mum. I got inside the car while Ash climbs up onto his motorbike. We drove to the end of the road and I give Ashton's car to Jordan while he gave me his motorbike and mine plus Ash's helmets.

"Where do you guys wanna go by the way?"

"Probably the 'house'. He needs some times to calm himself after the incident." I said as I put ON my helmet. Ashton did the same but seems like he didn't hear my conversation with Jordan.

"What incident?"

"I'll text you the story. I'm not feeling it's a good thing to talk about that here." I said climbing onto the motorbike. He nodded his head saying goodbye before get inside the car.
