Love Hurts (Lashton)

Chapter 3

Ashton's POV

I looked down at my watch and saw it was 11:34pm. For the past 3 hours me and Luke have been watching movies on the couch as Aunt Rose, and all her friends were outside partying.

I yawned. "I'm gonna head to bed", I said to Luke.

"Yeah, me too", He replied. We walked up the stairs together and into the bedroom, locking the bedroom door.

I got changed in the en-suite, making sure Luke was done before I walked out. I saw Luke was already in his bed on his phone, so I quickly got under the covers too.

"Goodnight, Luke", I whispered.

"Goodnight, Ash. Sweet dreams", He replied and I felt my face heat up. I smiled and snuggled down into the sheets, before drifting off to sleep.

-

"Ash, Ashton, wake up", I heard Luke whisper from across the room.

I slowly opened my sleepy eyes and turned to face him. He looked beautiful, yes, he looked beautiful. I can't like a boy. I'm not gay or whatever, I'm straight.

But, there's nothing wrong with being gay. Maybe I am? But I like girls too, I maybe bisexual?

I shook all the thoughts out of my head and replied "What?", I reached for my glasses and put them on.

He threw all his blankets off his body and walked over to me. "I'm hungry, and I want breakfast".

I stared at him blankly. "...go get breakfast then", I said lying down again. He grabbed my arm and pulled me out of bed and I landed on the floor with a crash.

"This isn't my house, so you need to come with me", He smiled. "Oh, and sorry about pulling you onto the floor".

I sighed and smiled. "Okay, whatever".

-

"Luke, keep it down, people are sleeping still", I whispered when he dropped a bowl on the bench and it made a loud noise.

"Fucking bowls", Luke mumbled and I laughed slightly. Luke poured milk into his cereal and I spread Vegemite on my toast before we sat down at the breakfast bar together.

I know I haven't known Luke for very long, one day to be exact. But I do consider him my friend. I don't have many friends, my closest friends are Calum, Michael, Darcey and maybe Luke?

I've also come to terms with me maybe being bisexual. I think I like Luke more than just a friend, but is that even possible after one day? I don't know, but Luke is straight, so all I'm ever gonna be is his friend.

I finished my toast and put the plate in the sink. As I went to sit back down, Liz came into the kitchen in her polka dot pajamas.

"Good morning, boys. Sleep well?", She rubbed the sleep out of her blue eyes.

"Yep, although Ashton sleep talks", Luke smiled.

My eyes widened. "Says the one who snores, and sounds like a fucking truck", I replied.

Luke scoffed and smiled. "Sounds interesting, you two", Liz boiled the jug to make a tea. "Anyways, Lucas. Go get dressed and pack your things, we're leaving very soon".

I forgot Luke and his family are leaving today. They have to leave because they're moving to Hornsby, maybe I'll see more of Luke?

Luke looked at the time on his phone. "But it's only 7:45am, and I was gonna ask Ashton if he wanted to watch another movie with me".
