Wait (Lashton)

37

Friday. More specifically, Michael's party. They didn't want to party because of what was happening because they all decided they could use a break from all the stuff that was happening. Just to slip away from reality for a couple hours.

Ashton and Luke were just arriving, the smell of alcohol already wafted in the air into Luke's nose which he scrunched up his nose to. "Come on, it's not that bad." Ashton laughed. "I really don't know how you can actually not find the smell disgusting. I feel like throwing up already."

Inside was even worse, all Luke wanted to do was just get a drink, preferably water, and just go sit outside. That's what they were planning to do anyways. So once they were inside they headed for the kitchen, Michael was in there with Calum, who seemed like he was already drunk, if not getting there, he will be pretty soon.

"I tried to stop him, but he just insisted." Calum laughed as he watched over Michael like a 5 year old. Him and Luke shared some small talk as Ashton went to get them their drinks then they were off outside.

"It's so awful in there. Like super gross." Luke grimaced as he took a sip of his water. "You get used to it. Eventually." Ashton pointed out. "I'm not sure if I want to." He laughed.

They continued talking aimlessly while the party raged on inside, Ashton didn't mind. He enjoyed what they were doing more than the actual party itself. "You want a refill?" Ashton asked. Luke nodded. "Okay, I'll be right back."

Inside was like a maze of sweaty bodies and alcohol, which didn't get to Ashton. He's used to it. More than he probably should've been. As he was refill their cups, a familiar manicured hand was placed on his bicep. "Hey Ashton. Where's your boy?" She asked. "Waiting for me. I should go." He tried walking away but her grip on his bicep became firmer. "Don't leave." She fake pouted as she grabbed his drink, moving it to the side, but Ashton quickly grabbed it away from her.

"What do you want?" He asked taking a big gulp of the alcohol that's now burning down his throat. "You know what I want. That's only you. I can make you feel so much better than Luke could ever. You know that." She flirted as he hand trailed up and down his body. He only laughed. "Yeah I doubt that. Luke's waiting for me."

Luke just went on his phone tapping away at the game he used as a distraction until Ashton came back. "Hey. What're you doing here?" A voice that Luke somewhat recognized. "Oh hey Mason. I'm just waiting for someone. He's getting me a drink, he's taking a while though."

"Here, let me get you a drink. It'll be quick." Mason insisted, Luke didn't really have time to protest seeing as he was already standing and headed to the door. He quickly shouted 'water' right before he went inside and disappeared in the sea of people.

Just like he said, Mason came back no less than a minute. "Here." He smiled handing him the cup. "Thanks." Luke politely smiled back and basically downed the cup that was almost full in one go seeing as he was getting thirst waiting for Ashton. It didn't take long for him to realize that whatever Mason got him, was not water.

"W-what did you give me?" He asked nervously after a few seconds of drinking whatever it was. "Don't worry about it." Mason smirked. "I-I have to go." Luke stated as he got up and stumbled a bit.

He didn't know what was happening, he's never drank alcohol before and if it was alcohol he drank, he didn't know what to do. His body was definitely not used to the amount he consumed, so it affected him really quickly.

Mason was quick to his side seeing as he almost fell. "Okay let's go." Luke stumbled inside, using Mason as some sort of support beam, it didn't take Luke long to find Ashton. When he did, it was something he wasn't expecting. He wasn't sure if his mind was playing tricks on him or not, but he saw Allie all up on Ashton. And Ashton wasn't even pulling away.
