Luke's POV:

Since it was finally Saturday I just slept and stayed in bed until 1pm. I remembered the time with Ashton and it was amazing. I smiled as I got up from my bed and made my way down the stairs to the kitchen. Everything was quiet so I assumed that my dad wasn't at home.

I thought that maybe I could visit him again today like as a surprise even if he didn't want it but I wanted to see him so why not? I sat at the counter with my cereal and planned on what to say to Ashton today.

'We could go ice skating today'

Nah, that sounded like a date.

'Let's just do nothing!'

He'd think I'm boring

'Why not-'

Suddenly I heard a loud noise. It came from the living room which was on the opposite side of the kitchen. My heart started beating fast as I tried to stand up quietly so my dad, who I assumed was there obviously, wouldn't see or hear me. I held my breath as I slowly walked to the corner of the room and sat down in my knees.

In my head this seemed like the best plan in that moment.

Footsteps came closer to me and I closed my eyes as an instinct so I wouldn't see the first kick coming right towards me. All my muscles flexed as the footsteps stopped. Right in front of me. I opened my eyes only a little bit to see Ryan standing in front of me with his back facing me.

Then he turned around. "You didn't think I'd see you, huh?" He chuckled as my dad pulled me up on my hair so I could look in his eyes. My head burned and it felt like he was ripping out my hair but I didn't move. "You're disgusting, Lucas!" Again, he let out his dirty chuckle that I hated  so much.

As he finally let go of my hair I felt how tears welled up in my eyes.

I couldn't cry.

I didn't want to cry.

He'd think I'm weak.

As Ryan tried to punch me I was able to get up and run to the stairs before he pulled my leg and I fell. My body ached but I was used to it. A few more punches were placed in my stomach and face until he finally walked away. As fast as my feet could still move I ran to my room and locked the door.

I took my phone off the charger, got my keys and walked to my window. This was always from where I could escape from my father. I was still humping as I slowly made my way to the person who told me he would always be there for me. Ashton was probably the only person I could think of in  that moment.

As I walked I thought of all the things that already happened with me and my father like how he used to spend his days with me and my brothers and my mother when they still where with us. I missed those times but I couldn't change it since I didn't know where my mom and my brothers were.

As I was lost in my thoughts I didn't notice that I already reached Ashtons house. It was that moment when I smiled to myself because I knew the inside this house there was this person who meant a lot to me and also was there for me when I needed him the most. He was like the only person who made me feel better and also made me think I am worth it. I actually didn't think that but when Ashton said it, it just made me feel special. I liked how he tried and how he wouldn't try to bring me down like others especially my father and Calum. Tears streamed down my face when I knocked on the door. I actually didn't know what took me so long to get here but the sky was already really talk or maybe it was just because it would start raining soon.

Ashton's  POV:

I heard someone knock on the door downstairs as I was lying on my bed trying to make my math homework. I was glad someone would distract me because I had no clue how to answer the question in my book. I was really desperate so I happily let my book lie on the ground as I made my way downstairs to the door.

I actually thought it would be Michael or Isaac or maybe even Renai but I really didn't expect Luke to stand in front of my door crying like a little baby. Without saying any words I pulled him into a tight hug. For at least 5 minutes we just stood in the doorway and hugged as I let him cry on my shoulder. I knew exactly what happened without him explaining because i saw his bleeding lip which meant it had to be something with his dad. I was worried to death and asked Luke repeatedly if we should go to a hospital but he always said he wouldn't want that.

I took him to my room where I shoved my books off my bed and we just laid down. It was really dark outside by now and it should be starting to rain soon.

"I just want to get rid of all the pain.." he whispered into the dark. "Please. let me go." I felt tears well up in my eyes is he said that next sentence. " I just want to die."
