Boy Next Door 2 | l.h [completed]

Chapter 10

Three months have passed, three months of sobbing around the house, spending hours with Ashton, spending time with Matt and the baby inside me.

I've talked to it, I don't know if it's a girl or a boy because I wanted it to be surprise. I've thought of names when I'm bored.

Like for a girl. Layla, Jamie, Callie. For a boy. Justin, Liam or even Aydin. I've thought hours for other names but those names came to me over and over again.

Right now, I'm sitting on my mom's couch, talking to him or her.

"Hi there. Inside there might be safe and sound. But out here, it's a huge mess" I giggled. "I'll help you the best I can on making it in life and I will help you with anything when you come" I paused and wiped some tears that streamed down my face.

"I love you so much" I cried.

"Who are you talking to?" A familiar voice asked.

I turned my head and saw Ashton at the doorway.

"My baby" I sniffled.

"I have two more months. How am I doing so far?" He asked.

"Pretty good" I turned my head back to my round, huge belly.

"That's good" he laughed. Ashton walked over to the couch and sat in front of me.

"Have you talked to Luke yet?" He asked.

"No" I mumbled quietly.

"You can't run away from him. He has to see Matthew soon" He rubbed the back of my hand and traced circles.

"I know" I whispered. "But I don't want to see him" I continued.

"I know. But you will have to some time" he said.

"I don't want to Ashton!" I yelled louder than I intended to.

I don't really know if Ashton gets it or not, but I don't and never want to see Luke again. After what he did, never. Never is a strong word, but I'll still say it even though it won't happen.

"Please?" He begged.

"Why do you want me to see him so badly?" I asked.

"Because, if you like it or not, you still love him. Admit it" he tried to smile, but failed miserably because it hurt him to say it or even ask it.

"I'm not in love with Luke anymore! I'm in love with you Ashton!" I yelled.

"No your not" he kept shaking his head and he stood up.

"Yes I am" I whispered.

"You can't be. Luke is the one that your in love with" he inched closer to me, but he paced as well.

"Ashton. You already proved yourself to me. I'm in love with you" I said louder than before.

"I did?" He stopped pacing and sat next to me.

"You did" I nodded my head.

"Emma?" He called.

"Yeah?" I asked and turned my head to him, seeing that he was already staring back at me.

"I love you too" he said.

We both leaned, slowly attaching our lips together.

We kissed.

I wouldn't have thought of kissing Ashton again since ever he became insane. But now he isn't.

That's why I kissed him.

"Emma" I heard someone saw my name behind me.

Ashton and I pulled away from each other and looked back.

It was Luke.

"Luke" I said silently.

"Ashton?" He called.

Luke looked down, his face was steaming red, his hands were clenched and that didn't seem like a good sign.

"What are you doing here, Luke?" I asked.

"I'm here to visit Matt. To visit you. What is he doing here?" He asked and finally looked up at me.

"Because he can be here. Matt is out with my parents" I stood up with Ashton.

"When can I see him?" Luke asked.

"I'll ask my mom or dad if they could drop Matt off at your apartment" I crossed my arms.

"Why can't you come too?" He asked.

"Luke, listen. I'm not going to spend time with you after what you did to me. You hurt me. I trusted you and you abused that privilege. I even loved you!" I snapped.

"I loved you too. If I could take it back, I would" he said quietly, but loud enough for me to hear.

"Leave" I pointed out the door.

"No" he simply answered.

"She said leave" Ashton stepped in front of me.

"And I said no" Luke took a step towards Ashton.

"Stop" I said quietly behind Ashton.

"Emma said leave. So leave" Ashton stepped towards him as well.

"Stop" I repeated.

"Because Emma and I need to talk" Luke said.

"Stop" I said louder.

Ashton turned around to face me.

"We can talk" I said to Ashton then I turned to face Luke. He didn't except me to say 'yes' to him as his eyes went wide.

"I'll be back" I walked pass Ashton and out the door. I sat down on a chair on the porch as I watched Luke walk out the door and sat beside me.

"What do you want to talk about?" My voice was so hoarse.

"I'm sorry" he whispered.

"Whatever" I rolled my eyes.

"Don't act all childish and talk like an adult" he stammered.

"Are we done yet?" I asked.

"No. I miss you" he continued.

"I don't care" I rolled my eyes and laid back into my seat.

"I made mistakes, I'm not perfect. But I'm still the boy next door that you fell in love with!" He yelled.

Luke stood up, came close to me and smashed his lips against mine.
