Boy Next Door 2 | l.h [completed]

Chapter 8

(Emma's POV)

I have been home alone for the past two hours while Luke was either recovering from a fight with Ashton or still talking to him.

Matt seemed tired so I put him down for his nap half an hour ago.

The door rung all of a sudden. I tried my best to get up, I did so after a minute.

I walked sort of slowly to the door and swung it open to see Ashton.

"We need to talk" was the first thing he said.

"Leave me alone Ashton. I'm not in the mood for your little stories or more torture" I leaned my body against the door frame to keep myself from falling.

"Please, just hear me out" he pleaded.

"Why should I?" I asked.

"Because this might change everything" he said nervously and stuttered a little.

"Come in" I said after quite a long pause.

"Thank you" he beamed and came in.

I waddled over to the couch and sat down. Ashton did as well.

"Don't waste my time. You have 10 minutes to talk then I'm kicking you out" I said.

"Okay. First off, I want to change" he said.

"Change how? Even more evil?" I said sarcastically.

"No. I want to change for the better Emma. I want to be nicer and not evil like you think I am" he looked down, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.

"I don't think. I know" I pointed out.

"Yes. Well, I want to change Emma. I want to be better. And maybe if you forgive me later on in life, I could spend time with my son or daughter"

"I would believe that when I see it" i snickered.

"Please. Just give me a chance to prove myself?" He asked.

"I let you prove yourself years ago, months ago. But you still haven't proven yourself" I snapped.

"When are you due?" He asked.

"In five months. Why?" I asked.

"I have five months to prove myself to you. You'll see what a dramatic change there will be. Just watch" he got up and walked to the door.

"Five months" I repeated and nodded my head.

"Bye Emma" he gave me a half-smile and left the apartment.

"Bye" I whispered after he left.

A few minutes later, another knock came from the door.

I got up lazily and swung it open to expect Luke. But it was Calum and Michael.

"Hey guys" I smiled and leaned my head against the door, feeling a head ache coming on.

"Come in" I offered and they did so.

"What's up?" I asked and sat back down.

"We just wanted to visit, see how your doing" Calum spoke.

"Well that's nice of you. I'm doing fine thanks" I smiled.

Both boys exchanged looks and then turned back to me.

"Did Luke tell you?" Michael asked.

"About what?" I asked, anxious into any new news.

"About Natalie?" Calum asked.

"How he's the father? I know" I nodded my head a few times.

"How do you feel about this?" Michael asked.

"I think it's fine. But I'm still mad. Natalie forced him and threatened him" I sighed.

"Do either one of you know where Luke is?" I asked after a short pause.

"No. I thought he was with you. He told me he was going home after I saw him at the bar" Michael spoke.

"You left him at the bar?" I asked.

"Yeah. I thought he would be fine going home-" I cut Michael off.

"We need to get him!" I yelled and tried my best to get up from the couch as fast as I could.

"We will get him. You stay here" Calum tried to sit me back down but I didn't budge.

"No. I'm coming with if you like it or not" I stammered.

"Michael, you stay here with Matt and Calum, you come with me to get Luke" I ordered.

They both nodded their heads and did as they were told.

*************************************

"Luke!" I called for almost the hundredth time.

We have been roaming around the bar for almost half an hour now but no sign of Luke.

As I was getting lost of hope, I finally spotted him in the corner.

"Luke, I have been worried-" I got cut off by the horrifying scenery of Luke sucking on some random girls face.

"Luke!" I yelled and backed away a little bit.

"Oh my god" he stopped and stared at me. His words were so slurred that I almost couldn't tell what he said.

"Emma-" he slurred.

I raised my arms in defense as he tried to hold onto my shoulders.

"Emma-" he slurred again.

"Luke!" Calum yelled. Luke passed out on the floor and Calum tried his best to pick him up.

I walked out of the bar with out them, not even waiting for them. I walked on my own to our apartment as Calum practically dragged him back.

All three of us arrived at the apartment soon enough and Calum just dropped Luke onto the couch.

"Who was that girl?!" I yelled at Luke.

"Some girl" he slurred.

"Why were you sucking on her face then?" I asked.

"Look, Emma love. You know that when I'm drunk, I get all soft and I'm honest" he slurred and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"I know" I whispered.

"Did you really get threatened by Natalie?" I asked.

"No. I said I did so that you wouldn't be mad like you are now cupcake" he slurred and chuckled.

"You son of a-!" I got cut off by Michael and Calum trying to hold me back.

I was frustrated and beyond mad at this information.

"Your no saint either" he pointed a finger at me.

"What did I do?!" I yelled.

"This child isn't mine and we all know it. You want Ashton the father as much as me" he slurred.

"That's not true" I stammered.

"Yes it. We both know it" After that, he passed out cold onto the floor.

I didn't care after he did so. All I did was walk back to my room and fell asleep.
