The Only Reason ➳ l.h

Chapter 23

Luke's POV

I was sitting in my living room with Skylar, her on my lap just like yesterday. Ever since I asked her to be my girlfriend I've been so happy, I didn't expect her to say yes.

"Your eyes are pretty." She giggled.

"So are yours." I chuckled at her.

"No they're not, they are a dull grey and yours are like an electric blue."

I sighed at her not wanting to argue, so instead I leaned in and pecked her on the lips.

"I don't think I'm going to ever get used to that." She smiled at me, showing off her perfectly straightened teeth.

"Same here."

She leaned back in and we kissed for a couple of minutes, pulling away when the door opened.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" Michael walked in, followed by Calum and Ashton who ambled into the room.

I saw Sky blush as she dug her head into the crook of my neck. "I'm kissing my girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" Ashton asked, he didn't seem like he was too excited about it.

"Yep." I smiled at Skylar and quickly pecked her on the lips.

"Well congratulations." Calum and Michael cheered.

"Thanks." Skylar and I spoke in unison.

"Yeah, congratulations." Ashton mumbled, "I've got to go."

"But you just got here." Michael groaned.

"I forgot that I was supposed to, um, help Harry with his homework." Ashton spoke as he rushed out of the door.

"That was weird." I mumbled.

Calum looked at Skylar with a certain look, but I don't know what kind of look it was so I just brushed it off.

"Er, I'll go see if he's okay." Sky said as she ran out just as fast as Ashton did.

Skylar's POV

"Ashton." I called as I ran after him.

Instead of stopping and turning like I hoped he would, he kept walking.

"Ashton!" I yelled louder, causing him to come to a halt and sigh.

He turned to face me, "What Skylar? I need to go and help Ha-"

"No you don't." I accused.

"Excuse me?"

"I know that you don't need to help your brother. Something's wrong, and I'm not leaving until I find out what." I pressed onto the subject.

He sighed as he ran his hand through his curly locks, looking any where but me. "Fine. I don't like the fact that you and Luke are dating."

"I'm sorry, what?" I raised my eyebrow at him, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Isn't it obvious!" He threw his arms up in the air.

"What! What am I so oblivious about?!"

"I've told you before and my feelings still haven't changed!"

What has he told me before? OH.

"Asht-"

"Don't. I don't need pity. I hope you and Luke get along, he's really lucky." Without another word Ashton turned around and left, leaving me standing alone in the hallway. I feel awful.
