Not All Angels Have Wings (L.H)

Chapter 3

The song I added reminds me of the story and what's to come ;)
.-.-.-.

The morning was welcomed with the stomach flu and the hard floor of the bathroom. The stomach flu was going around my school and it had just claimed its next victim. My weekend will now be filled with Netflix, soup, and pj's, oh and lets not forget the lovely bucket beside my head. It started in the middle of the night and after that I was stuck on the bathroom floor staring at the ceiling in till the next round came. When my mom left for her shift at work she found me and brought me a blanket, pillow and medicine. It wasn't much but I was able to rest at least. Eventually around 10 am I made my way to the living room and laid on our black leather couch. The flat screen that hung on the wall played old reruns of How I Met Your Mother, my favorite show. Barney was hilarious and always looked cute in his suits. My stomach hasn't stopped hurting since I got up the first time last night, I have been stuck in the fetal position for the past 12 hours and my side is starting to hurt from laying on it for so long. When I turned to stretch out and lay on my back the purple hoodie I was wearing twisted and I had to wiggle around to fix it. The ends of my black yoga pants and mismatching socks stuck out from the end of my blanket that I had wrapped up around my chin. My fever must have been high since I was shaking like a little dog.

Luke has been on my mind all morning and I keep waiting for him to text me since I never got his number. I was stupid for just giving him my number and not getting his. A banging noise came from outside my house and I almost leaped off the couch. The hard wood floors were cold on my socked feet as I walked towards the noise. I took a short cut through the kitchen to get a knife before heading towards the only thing separating me from the outside. When I reached the peep hole I looked through and found nothing but right when I began to conclude I was crazy the noise banged on the door again. With a swift motion I yanked the door open and held my knife out to hurt the intruder. “What the hell Ainsley?” Ashton stood with his hands up by his head defensively and Luke hid behind him trying to stifle a laugh. “I thought you guys were murders.” I stepped aside to let them inside the house then closed the door and turned back towards them. “Why do you look like crap?” “Wow thanks Ashton, I have the stomach flu.” Both of the boys took a step away from me like I was going to spew any second. I rolled my eyes and walked around the side of the couch and sat down. “Why are y'all here?” They came around too and sat down on either side of me. “Well we were going to go out-” “But, we can hang here with you.” Ashton looked at Luke suspiciously for interrupting him. “Um sure we can stay and take of you.” Ashton patted my head and grabbed the remote for the glass coffee table in front of us. I situated myself so that my back was leaning against Luke and my legs were on Ashton. The blonde boy put his arm around me and pulled me closer to him and we settled in to watch some action movie Ashton put on. “Maybe this will be a one day thing and tomorrow we can do something.” Ashton nodded in agreement to Luke's idea and so did I. Ash was tracing circles on my ankle as he watched the movie and it was slowly putting me sleep. Between the couple of hours of sleep I got last night and the soothing motion on my ankle I was asleep within seconds.

.-.-.-.-.-.

The tv was the first sound I heard when I woke up, in my sleeping state I moved from Luke's arm down to his lap but his arm was till around me. I peeked up at the boy to find he had drifted off as well but when I looked at Ashton he was wide awake. “How long have we been out?” By the look on Ashton's face, he hadn't of know I was awake and had probably just shit himself. “You scarred the shit out of me,” I laughed at his words sense I just thought the same thing. “You guys have been sleeping for a couple of hours, its around 5.” “You guys didn't have to stay, I can take care of myself.” Ashton turned of the TV and turned to get a better look at my face. “I know but I love my little Ainsley. Are you guys hungry yet cause we could get dinner.” “Sure I will go change, I am feeling surprisingly better. Maybe it was just a day bug.” The walk to my room was short and as soon as I came in I walked to my dresser to pick out my clothes. I still didnt feel very good but I told Ash I did since I didn't want to ruin his day. My outfit consisted of a pair of black leggings, an oversize tan sweater with a fox face on the front and brown Uggs. I didnt feel up to putting on all my usual make up so I just swiped some mascara onto my eyes. After grabbing my purse and the red beanie I wanted to wear I walked into the living room. Luke was laying on the floor rubbed his eyes while cussing at Ashton who was laughing hysterically. “What did you do to him?” I chuckled at the sight before me while Luke got up and stared at me. “He threw my off the couch.” “In my defense you didnt want to get up.” I slid on my beanie and clapped by hands together. “Anyways, are you guys ready to go?” Ashton sprung from the couch and headed straight for the door however Luke walked up to me. He put his hand on my shoulder looking into my eyes. I would be lying if I said my heart beat didn't quicken at the closeness between us. My breath caught in my throat as my eyes moved from his lips up to his eyes. “Are you going out for him or do you really feel better?” How did this guy see through me? “I feel great.” I could tell he wasn't believing it but he he didnt try and stop me. “If you feel sick say banana as a code word.” I chuckled before responding. “Okay whatever floats your boat Blondie.” Luke smiled at his new nickname as I walked outside to Ashton's car. I slid into the front seat of his dodge neon and Luke got in the back.

“Where are we eating?” “Mexican.” Luke cleared his throat as a sign that this was a bad idea but Ashton stayed oblivious as me and Luke shared a look. I swallowed a big gulp and turned to look out the window at the passing blur of colors, this was going to be a long evening.

The restaurant was loud and crowded with people. The smell of food mad me instantly nauseous, Luke looked at me with worry in his eyes then wrapped his arm around my waste protectively, “Remember the code word.” he whispered into my ear it sent shivers down my spine, I shook my head in response ad I scanned the crowd of people. We were seated in a corner booth near the back of the place. The plus side was that there was a bathroom right by us, the down side was that so was the kitchen. I slid in beside Luke and Ashton sat across from us. As soon as our butts hit the seat a not overly excited girl came over smacking her gum. “What can I get you guys?” “Sweet tea,” “Coke,” “Water,” The girl rolled her eyes then walked toward the drink counter, water seemed like a smart choice due to my current state. “So did you guys go to the football game last night?” Me and Luke looked at Ashton like he was crazy. “We were at your party last night dip shit.” I shook my head at Ashton's stupidity, the lady set our drinks down and took our food orders before heading into the kitchen. I cant believe how fast we are getting served. So Ashton who was that girl you were making out with last night?” I had totally forgot about that in till Luke brought it up just now. “Oh that was Lacy Mathews. We are going to dinner Monday night.” Lacy was know around school for being a boyfriend stealer and she also got around if you know what I mean. Sticking to what I thought earlier the food came right away. The sight of the tomatoes, lettuce, meat and sauce made me instantly sick. Ashton began digging into his food right away but Luke was watching me for any signs of illness. I stared at my food as if I was crazy and didnt say a word. Luke put his hand on my back and whispered in my ear. “Are you okay?” I slowly turned my head toward him and looked up at his face thinking of an answer. His eyes widened and he grabbed the side of my face with hand. “Ainsley you look green why dont you go to the bathroom.” I glanced down at Luke's taco and it was the last straw. I leaped from the booth while saying our code word. The bathroom was so close that I got into a stale before losing the contents in my belly. Five minutes had pasted before Luke came in and picked me up from where I sitting on the floor. He carried me bridal style out to Ashton's car as he followed close behind. Everyone was staring at us as we left the scene but I didnt care one bit. Luke laid me in the back seat and came in after me then I laid my head on his lap. When we got onto the main road Luke finally spoke, “I knew this was a bad idea, how could you not see your best friend was obviously still sick but I could!” He started off talking but by the end he was yelling. I flinched at his words and closed my eyes. “I am sorry alright, what else can I say?” “Sorry thats it? You piece of-” “stop.” My voice was barley a whisper but everyone heard me. “It was my choice to go, you cant blame him.” Luke looked at me like I was crazy but he didnt protest. He ran his finger through my hair while we road the rest of the way home. “I am going to drop Ainsley off and you can walk home Luke.” Ashton was mad at Luke for blowing up on him but this was kind of Ashton's fault. Without a word Luke picked me up like before and pulled me out of the car when we got home. We watched Ashton's car screech away then turned to head into my house. I gave Luke the key and he opened the door and went straight into my room. Once he had set me on the bed he took off my shoes and put the covers over me. “Goodnight Ainsley.” He kissed my forehead then headed for the door. “Wait,” Luke turned towards me as he reached the door. A look of hope crossed his eyes as I said. “Can you stay with me?” “Of course.” He walked back towards me bed and slipped his shoes before crawling in the bed. His long arms pulled me into his chest and I nestled my head into his neck. I looked up to see him biting down on his lip ring. Oh how I wanted to kiss this boy right now but part of me wanted to wait so I went back to resting my head in the crook of his neck. Luke let out a long sigh and kissed the top of my head. “You are one strange girl Mrs.Ainsley.”
