***Recap***
Once I reach home and ringing hasn't stopped. I look to see who it is. Unknown. That other number is blocked. I slowly answer and place the phone to my ear.
"(Y/N)?!" Someone says.
"Yeah? Who is this?" You sigh.
"(Y/N) It's Luke! Guess what?!"
"Oh my God! Luke? What?" You smile. You hadn't talked to Luke since that night Ashton... Y'know.
"It's Ashton! They've found him! He's alive!" Luke shouts down the phone.
"WHAT?!"
***Present Time***
I get back in my car and drive to where Luke told me to meet him before I ended the call. I arrived at Luke's house, many cars were parked in the drive and at the window I saw Ashton's mother staring out, teary eyed. I run up to the door and burst into the living room.
"Where is he?" I ask breathlessly.
"Sleeping." Aston's mother, Anne, sighs.
"Did you talk to him?"
"Yes."
"And..?"
"He needs to tell you himself." Anne wipes her eyes and walks into the kitchen. Luke comes out and sits on the sofa, his face is red from tears. I see his wife walk out of the dining room, she eyes me suspiciously.
"I'm (Y/N)."
"Yes. Don't worry I've heard all about you." She frowns and walks to where Anne is.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I frown. My question wasn't answered as we heard footsteps coming downstairs.
I see legs.
A torso.
A face.
His face.
Ashton.
"Ashton." I cry and back up to the wall, sliding down it slightly. My breathing is uneven and my vision is blurry.
"(Y/N)?" He frowns.
"Why? Why did you leave us? Why didn't you come back?" I sob and Luke comes to comfort me. His arms wrap around my shoulders and he lets me cry into his chest.
"I'll explain later. Please stop crying (Y/N)!"
"I can't! Why would you do this to us?! Michael has gone insane! We thought you were..." I couldn't say it. It hurt. I had to croak it out. "Dead."
"I thought I was too." He shrugs. Shrugs?! He left us and everyone else that loved him and all he is stood here doing is shrugging. I haven't seen him in years and this is what he tells me."
"I hate you. I hate you so much!" I cry harder. "Why did you come back?! Why do you have to do this to us?!"
"You want to know what happened?!" He shouts making me flinch. "I went in search of a road and instead I found a cliff! Guess what? I fell. I couldn't remember a thing about who I was or where I came from! My face was so badly beaten up that they couldn't tell who I was either so they just gave me some checks and let me stay there for a while...
They eventually said I was okay to go and start a new life. They thought I would get my memory back eventually. I got my memory back two weeks ago. You want to know what happened in the couple of years I was gone?"
"Okay."
"I met a girl. A gorgeous girl. We were in a relationship. We had a baby and I asked her to marry me. She said yes and we were happy."
He stood their telling me more about his amazing new life and his children and wife. I stopped listening. All my body was numb and I just sat there on the floor staring at the wall infront of me. It's amazing that the heart makes no noise when it breaks.
