Couldn't Be More Different (Cashton/Muke)

Chapter 2

Luke's p.o.v

Today was the day of our football game. We were playing against our biggest rivals tonight. We have been doing great so far so I am not worried at all. I got out of my comfy bed and got ready for school. I then walked downstairs and saw my family getting ready for breakfast. My brothers are in university but it is close enough that they decide to drive instead of get a dorm there. I sat down as my mom placed the food on the table. We then began eating. My dad started talking about tonight's game. I could honestly care less. I am good at sports and I like it but I like music more. I sing and play the guitar. After breakfast I was already annoyed with my family. All we ever talk about is sports or how Ben and Jack are better then I am. I am sick of it. At least I get away from it on the weekends. My parents think my boyfriend Eithan and I are just friends so they allow me to stay at his apartment on the weekends. They think we are practicing football. When I got to school Eithan and I walked into class together. Everyone thinks we are this lovely power couple. That couldn't be more false. I was in class and talking to Ethan. I was apologizing to him. He was mad and it was scaring me. I'm not even sure if I did anything wrong but it probably was me. I don't even know why he is with me. I mean look at me. I am ugly and am never good enough. Well that is what he tells me. I use to not believe it but now I do. When he finished fighting with me I just stayed quiet and continued with my schoolwork. Math class was ok. My teammate Ashton gets into a lot of fights with Ms.Clarke so it is always entertaining to watch. Ashton and I don't always get along. He thinks I am trying to steal his spot as quarterback. I could care less about being on the team.

A/N: They play American football

It was 6:45 and the bleachers were starting to fill up with people. We really need to win this game tonight. if we don't I will never hear the end of it. When it was time to play we went out onto the field. After about 2 hours the game was over. We lost. Nobody was happy especially Ashton. He took the football and threw it on the ground. He then walked up to me.

Ashton: Great job Hemmings you fucking made us lose!

Luke: How did I make us lose. You were the one who didn't catch the ball. So stop taking all of your problems out on me asshole!

Ashton: Fuck you!

Next thing I knew I was on the ground. Ashton Irwin just punched me. I immediately got up and started tackling him. The coach ran over grabbing his son off of me. The principal then came over to us and told us to see him in his office Monday morning. I saw my family walking down off the bleachers and they did not look happy to say the least. We got into the car and they were still silent.

Liz: Luke what the hell were you thinking?

Luke: He punched me first!

Andrew: You are only 3 games into the season! You better not get kicked off the team on Monday!

Luke: I could care less if I get kicked off!

Jack: Well you should. The Hemmings are known for football in this school and you need to honor that!

Luke: I don't even want to play football!

Ben: Yeah whatever you say idiot.

We pulled into our driveway and I got out of the car and ran to my room. I then grabbed my phone from my pocket and called Ethan.

Ethan: Hey Luke.

Luke: Hi. Are you doing anything right now?

Ethan: Well we were all going to go out to celebrate our win but we lost so yeah.

Luke: Oh. Um can I come over tonight?

Ethan: I guess. I'll be there in 10.

Luke: Ok I love you bye.

I hung up and grabbed my backpack. I already had my school stuff in it so I put in a change of clothes and a towel. I went downstairs and saw my family sitting in the living room.

Andrew: Where do you think you are going?

Luke: I am sleeping over at Ethan's like I do every weekend remember?

Andrew: Maybe he should train you. 

Luke: Last time I checked I was the quarterback not him.

Andrew: Then maybe Ashton could train you.

Luke: You really think that is a good idea.

Liz: I don't know what you said or did to him but you guys are best friends and need to get over whatever rough patch you are going through. Your behavior on the field was unacceptable Luke!

Luke: He punched me first! I didn't even do anything wrong!

Andrew: Well the Irwin's are coming over for dinner on Sunday so you better be back before then.

Luke: Whatever. Ethan is here bye.

I slammed the door shut and got into Ethan's car. I just wish my family would leave me alone. They have no idea that what they say affects me. My wrist were itchy but I had to ignore it. I wanted to just grab my blade but Ethan is right beside me.

Ethan: What did your parents say now?

Luke: Just the same shit they always say. You know because apparently I was the reason Ashton dropped the fucking ball.

Eithan. Well you could of been there to catch it.

Luke: Why the fuck is everything always my fault?

I waited for a response but there wasn't one. I just felt his hand on me cheek. He slapped me. It wouldn't be the first time he has done this. He gets really violent when mad but I still know that he loves me. I mean why would he stay with me if he didn't love me? We got to his apartment and I took a shower before eventually going to bed.
